 Does Ron Paul Have a Jewish Problem?

http://www.portfolio.com/views/blogs/capital/2007/11/12/does-ron-paul-have-a-jewish-problem

 

Interesting piece today from the Jewish Telegraph Agency by Daniel Sieradski about the neo-Nazi types who have been attracted to the Ron Paul campaign. (As part of his libertarian agenda, Paul wants to cut off air to Israel--and other countries, too, it should be added.) Sieradski notes that there's nothing to indicate Paul himself is antisemetic in the least but his campaign hasn't said if it will return contributions from White Nationalists. The great test of any movement is how it will deal with the crazies who are, for whatever reason, attracted to its cause. Organized labor purged the Communists; William F. Buckley drove the John Birchers out of the mainstream conservative movement. Now it's the Libertarians turn. By inclination, I'm sure the Freedom Lovin' Paul campaign doesn't want to trounce on anyone's rights. But do they really need to accept money from antisemites? See more here from the Lone Star Times.

I'm not a Libertarian but I like Ron Paul and his campaign and I think efforts to discredit him like what Rudy Giuliani said at the presidential debate aren't fair. But this seems like a valid criticism.

What non-Democrat candidate doesn’t have a Jewish problem?

[thegreatbeast]

I read this story earlier today and understood that much of Paul’s supposed jewish problem is that he won’t return the phone calls of this reporter.

You are so naughty... ;-)

Ron Paul can take donations from whomever he wishes to take donations from, he also should have his feet held to the fire for accepting them, which is a completely valid criticism.

Paul wants to cut off air to Israel?......That would be a bit difficult...............

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Ron Paul doesn’t have a Jewish problem... he has a solution, a final solution.

RP is a nut bag. His supporters are loons and idiots and a 5th column of libs trying to scuttle the conservative movement by pretending to be conservatives supporting the midget.

Ron Paul has Paulistinian belt bomber supporters.

Enough said.

Another John Bircher Paul-bot...

If no Jew votes for Ron Paul, it will drop his maximum possible vote in a nationwide election from 5% to 4.9%. And that’s being very, very generous.

“”Does Ron Paul Have a Jewish Problem?””

Well, if he advocated ending aid “to” Israel but not “to” Egypt, maybe.

But he’s not advocating that.

I think Paul is a secret tool of the Russians, South Africans and Canadians, given his support for return to the gold standard...why not??

>>>>Marc Levin’s 2005 film Protocols of Zion. <<<<

That’s pretty Kafkaesque, considering the Jewish-sounding last name.

Seriously, though, that’s why I’m glad the second amendment is here. I might not be able to stop every Jew-hating idiot who tries to kick in my door, but I will leave life with the enormous pleasure that I’ve just taken three or four of them with me.

Last month, the dark horse Republican candidate was barred from the Republican Jewish Coalition’s Candidate’s Forum due to his stance against providing further foreign aid to Israel.

I would be a lot happier with Ron Paul if he had a stance against providing further foreign aid to the United Nations, an organization that hates the USA, instead of a nation that believes in democracy.

"Paul wants to cut off air to Israel?......"

So does his ally--the president of Iran.

[JerseyHighlander]

Posting this on a website that won’t condemn user comments calling for turning Mecca and Medina into glass parking lots takes the wind out of your sails regarding trying to antagonize the libertarian members of FR. There are thousands of Democrat machinery monkeys who would love nothing more than to force every Republican candidate to return campaign donation funds from every Christian minister received.

So before you go off on the nazi campaign contributions, consider what a legislative response to your concerns would regard, and how it would be twisted under a Clinton administration.

That being said, Paul is going to sink in the next few weeks, his celebrity lifecycle probably peaked on Sunday’s tv interviews.

I don’t believe Ron Paul hates Jews like many of his supporters do (just go to any ron paul forum-its sickening). But he should distance himself from the truthers, nazis, white supremacists, etc

[JerseyHighlander]

“Paul wants to cut off (US) aid to Israel?......”

So do at least 15% of the Jewish Knesset members, for decidedly realistic reasons.

[JerseyHighlander]

Jim, you must know Jennifer Coffey from SAS?

[Red Badger]

Fer Shure!....Israel can do a lot of “cutting off” on their own! As Syria and Saddam before them found out!............

I would be a lot happier with Ron Paul if he had a stance against providing further foreign aid to the United Nations, an organization that hates the USA, instead of a nation that believes in democracy.

Then prepare to be a lot happier. Ron Paul advocates America's complete withdrawal from the United Nations, the eviction of the entire UN apparatus from America, and the revocation of all treaties implemented under UN auspices (in addition to most other MULTIlateral treaties). He has been advocating this for at least a decade, and IIRC, dropped a bunch of stinkies in Congress regarding eviction of the UN (much to the consternation of his mostly global-collectivism-pushing colleagues).

The single greatest threat to Israel, and one of the greatest threats to America and humanity writ large, is indeed the United Nations.
