Well, let’s not be naive or uneducated. For centuries the Christians have been told that it had been the Jews who crucified their Messiah.

he had disavowed the newsletters

That denial has always been fluid. On December 29, 2012, Ron Paul said that out of his decades of newsletters, it was only about "eight or ten" sentences that were bad. Eight or ten sentences is roughly the racist content of perhaps two issues out of twenty years, which begs the question: why weren't the other racist sentences, and the dozens of anti-Semitic sentences, and conspiracy sentences bad?

And as I posted earlier today, I discovered current support for Paul on the Stormfront website while Googling for a Ron Paul bumpersticker. They're being pitched over at Stormfront (and the link is to a FR post that DOES NOT contain a link to Stormfront; I'm not littering FR with a ink to that trash).

These are the people who gravitate to Paul.

Alan doesn't write, that I've seen, about faith, he's a secular person, at least what I see in the public sphere. And I can't judge other peoples faith.

Societies usually criminalize only denial of fundamental myths. Thanks to the eighteenth century European "enlightenment," Auschwitz is the basis of public morality and the events of the Torah are matters of subjective personal opinion. Kind of backwards, isn't it?

That doesn't mean that his observations on this particular subject aren't true, of course.

Dershowitz likes to shoot fish in a barrel. (Obama, or whoever his scribe is, could’ve written this rant.)

I’ve never understood the hatred of Jews. Yet I hear it from people I know. People will believe anything and never stop to think for themselves or look at facts. There are so few Jews in the world

It's easier to beat up on minorities and blame them for your problems. Was Hitler going to blame Germany's defeat in World War I on the German army being worn down and running out of resources/men? No, far easier to blame Jews.

If you were to take the time to actually read for comprehension are. Paul’s philosophy and positions (and leaving the “mainstream” GOP’s talking points alone), you might understand that racism and anti-semitism simply cannot be part of the makeup of ANYONE who lives and breathes a philosophy of individualism. Freedom is for EVERYONE, period. Including those who don’t believe in the individual. Dr. Paul believes, for example, that the Second Amendment applies to everyone. Racists of whatever stripe believe it only applies to THEM.

I do believe that he also believes that anyone who cares to can put their money where they wish. Also, I find it only fitting that he keep money from the Klan groups, as a.) they do NOT get what they think they’re getting and b.) they have that much LESS money to spend on their evil ways. Even I might do such a thing... provided the Klaun Kreeps still wanted to donate after they met my wife.

Oh, and FYI, individualism is also a Godly philosophy (which is good, as Dr. Paul IS a Godly man). Each of us, in order to see Heaven, MUST have an INDIVIDUAL relationship with our Saviour. Unlike the Obummer philosophy of “group salvation.”

I seem to recall some politician with ties to the Law School there. I wonder who it was?

Good point.

Simply the acceptance of Islam into the mainstream via it’s selling as a “religion of peace” is the promotion of anti-semitism (and anti-Christianity, too). One simply has to read their teachings to know that.

The enemy hates both the natural and the grafted branches of God’s olive tree.

So very true, dear brother in Christ!

I’m with you.

“Now I WILL apologize, I am terribly sorry if I mistakenly gave the impression that I give a damn what the Paulbots think of me.”

Classic.

So, Paul gives an interview in which he claims he is not an anti-Semite and that means we should disregard all evidence to the contrary?

Yeah, riiiiigggghhhtttt...

A godly man would not have voted to insert homosexuals in the military nor side with “gay” marriage. Just for starters.

Simply the acceptance of Islam into the mainstream via it’s selling as a “religion of peace” is the promotion of anti-semitism (and anti-Christianity, too). One simply has to read their teachings to know that.

It goes back further than Geo. W Bush's little comment, even as his family history with virulently anti-semitic Arabs goes back further than most folks realize. The seeds were planted circa 1925, or thereabouts when a 'devil's bargain' was struck between the House of Saud (who had just taken over what is now known as Saudi Arabia), and one Senator Prescott Bush. The deal started an influx of inexpensive petroleum into the Us, and the west in general, and set the tone that the Muslims, and Arabs in particular should be better thought of than they were at the time.

Why does the west appear to be so supine? The answer is simple, we became addicted to that influx of petroleum, built much of our economies around it, and have for the last half century or so, become quite vulnerable because of it.

The powers that are, will never admit it, but we've been being blackmailed for quite some time now, due to this 'devil's bargain' made by one man in the 1920's.

So, the pressure to 'fall in line' with the Islamic's dream of world conquest, and universal Islamic rule is immense, but there are still large portions of the population, both here and in Europe which would resist coming under the barbarism which is Sharia (Europe is in worse straits than we are, and may soon capitulate totally, but we aren't that far behind.)

Within decades, if not sooner, Israel will be forced to go it alone, as even the US will not help her (we have seen the beginnings of this reality in the current administration, and I doubt that it will change for the better any time soon...)

How ironic, that Alan Dershowitz, a recognized liberal, is just now admitting that his liberal compadres are...well, anti-semitic; and truth be known, they always have been.

Thinking same. maybe a few are waking up. I agree with the person above, no thinking Christian can hate Jews. Were it not for al Jews in the early church Christians would never have grown so large and now there's Kingdom Now( Joel Osteen) The Emergent Churches, Replacement Theologychurches that is just as dangerous as anyBlack Liberation Thology church, Islamic or reform Jewish( sort of sarcam on the latter )entities that want to deny Zionism of any form

“Not to get too nit picky, but Judaism is a religion, not a race.”

It’s amazing how “cultural Jews” and “secular Jews” can hide behind Jews who have faith, who respect the Ten Commandments and who have the courage to practice their faith in the open.

It’s even more amazing and irritating to see the two
words “secular” and “Jew” used together, constantly, as well as “race”. (Just as irritating as hearing a
Christian say that he needs to see proof in order to believe; absolutely irritating.)

IMHO

Paul counts Stormfront among his supporters. Imho, he’s an anti-semite. What does that say about his followers?
