I don’t believe Ron Paul is anti-Semitic. Do you have any basis for making that claim?

Yes I do. His rantings about the “neocons” and his newsletter that said “By far the most powerful lobby in Washington of the bad sort is the Israeli government.”

And then there was the resolution condemning Hezbollah where Paul was the lone Republican who opposed it, on the grounds that it didn't equally condemn Israel for being terrorists too.

So according to you, anybody who’s critical of the Israeli government is “anti-semitic.”

That’s about as “logical” as saying anybody who’s critical of the NAACP hates black people.

BTW, Arabs are semites too.

His rantings about the “neocons” and his newsletter that said “By far the most powerful lobby in Washington of the bad sort is the Israeli government.”

Assuming that is true, why does that make one anti-semitic? I despise the neocons. (Why do you put that term, which Irving Kristol coined, in quotation marks?)"

I don't know if the Israeli government is one of the most powerful or not, but does merely having that opinion make one anti-semitic?

Paul is a TOTAL WACKO.
