I want to see him answer that. I really do...

After the Republican debate on Tuesday evening in Dearborn, Mich., a reporter from the Arab-American News asked Ron Paul what he thought of the term “Islamic fascism.”
“It’s a false term to make people think we’re fighting Hitler,” Paul responded. “It’s war propaganda designed to generate fear so that the war has to be spread.”
The call has gone out to all the Muslim Americans to hurry up and register to vote Republican so that they can vote in the Republican Primary to support Ron Paul, the anti-interventionist, non-isolationist candidate for President of the United States. Muslims are opening their wallets and joining teaparty07.com as well.
An anonymous Ron Paul supporter posted the following message on the internet: “Muslims and Americans have an unique window of opportunity for the 2008 election. There is a candidate running as a Republican that would work to completely cut off the funding to Israel, remove ALL US troops from Arab lands, and repeal the Patriot Act. He’s a Republican with Libertarian views named Ron Paul. Ron Paul’s policies ranging from monetary to foreign are top notch. Till now Muslims and Americans have not had an American Presidential candidate that really suited their best interests. This election is unique in that we have a man running as a Republican that speaks the truth…We know the current policies in the Middle East are failing, not only making it less safe in the world but hurting and killing innocent Muslims, which our media callously calls collateral damage. It is our duty as Muslims to follow the truth regardless of how futile it may seem. Ron Paul is the only candidate that does not seem to be swayed by the influential lobbies that the other candidates are catering to.”
Ron Paul stood up in Congress in 2006 and opposed a resolution that sided with Israel in the Lebanon-Israel conflict. He stated the following.
Ron Paul: “Mr. Speaker, I follow a policy in foreign affairs called non-interventionism. I do not believe we are making the United States more secure when we involve ourselves in conflicts overseas. The Constitution really doesn’t authorize us to be the policemen of the world, much less to favor one side over another in foreign conflicts. It is very clear, reading this resolution objectively, that all the terrorists are on one side and all the victims and the innocents are on the other side. I find this unfair, particularly considering the significantly higher number of civilian casualties among Lebanese civilians. I would rather advocate neutrality rather than picking sides, which is what this resolution does.”
Ron Paul has also sponsored a bill to overturn the Patriot Act. He is one of the few members of Congress from either of the major houses that is speaking rationally about these issues. How can we get everyone, and I mean everyone, to join the Ron Paul Republican voter sign-up campaign?
There is general frustration with politicians these days, and the unwillingness to believe that supporting a particular candidate will make a difference. But whether Ron Paul wins or loses, ronpaul.meetup.com is a great way to meet your neighbors who are against the war and organize the community on a grassroots level. If something like Katrina ever happened to us, knowing our neighbors could mean the difference between life and death to our families.
The common thread I’ve been reading lately about leftists and Jews is that they are having trouble getting more than a dozen people to come to their stuff (whether anti-Zionist or Zionist). The anti-Israel movement is not moving forward, because “protest Zionist imperialism” is just not a catchy slogan. By contrast, there are over 400 RP activists against war taxes in Boston alone. Every day the list of passionate anti-war activists grows. Very few of them agree with every single RP position, they just want to get the Lobby out of the way and pull the troops out of Iraq.
One reason it’s working is because of the software. They made the ronpaul.meetup.com site almost like a dating site, where you can make friends with people in or near your zip code. They made it very easy to get together with new people to join the activism. You can’t beat technology, may as well use it.
In the event that RP actually won the election and got the Hamas treatment, his supporters are fully in support of the Right to Bear Arms. It would be interesting to see what followed.
If anti-war protesters want to continue to focus on the genocidal machinations of the global zionist-imperialist military, industrial, financial, political, neoliberal, media complex, they have to be willing to meet with anyone any time to hear what ideas people have to address this, which is our primary responsibility - even if they are Republicans.
If you ever saw Ron Paul in an interview it cannot be said that he avoids discussing vital issues. He is someone who is willing to make a statement and stick by it even when no one agrees with him. I don’t “believe” in electoral politics but it’s not that much sweat off my brow to go and vote to end war.
I think the fact that NO pro-Israel group will let Ron Paul speak at their convention, not even peace Zionists, is evidence enough that he is the only person to put in charge as commander-in-chief. And, even if he loses, making all these contacts with local anti-interventionists is priceless. If you want to expand the peace movement so that it overlaps with the freedom movement like ripples in a pond, you just have to respect the fact that people might agree with you, but for different reasons.

I want to see him answer that. I really do...
ooops I replied to the wrong reply...
Ron Paul's support actually dropped a lot in SC when Stephen Colbert declared his fake run.
As far as I’m concerned, I’d rather Ron Paul have that money rather than it for to be in the pockets of racist scumbags. I don’t see how this is not logically legit, and the obsessing over it is ghey as hell.
Current AP Headline: Israel approves release of 441 prisoners.
Wonder how the Lebanese Americans feel about that? Or any other Republicans?
Wonder what the USA could do to help Lebanon?
No, he and his son marched amongst the many groups at the time, his support was clearly rejected by the student group.
I did NOT condemn it at the time, because I didn't know Don Black was there. I've read about it since then, mostly from leftists trying to paint the GOP as racist. You're doing the same thing of course.
Having answered three additional questions of yours, can you answer the questions I asked both here and to you on previous threads, without a response.
Among his supporters David Duke, a well known white supremecist. Do you, KDD, condemn Dukes ideology? Do you acknowledge it's inappropriate to inject this ideoloty into the American political climate, thus normalizing it?Among his supporters Donald Black, a well known white supremecist and felon. Do you, KDD, condemn Dukes ideology? Do you acknowledge it's inappropriate to inject this ideoloty into the American political climate, thus normalizing it? Should Blacks contribution be returned? Should Stormfront, Blacks website, be allowed to link to Paul fundraising?
Among his supporters Willis Carto, a well known white supremecist and Holocaust denier. Do you, KDD, condemn Dukes ideology? Do you acknowledge it's inappropriate to inject this ideoloty into the American political climate, thus normalizing it? Do you think it's proper for Paul to be advertised as a columnist by Carto?
Do you think it's proper for Paul to allow the Council of Conservative to run his column in their print publication? Do you acknowledge it's inappropriate to inject this ideoloty into the American political climate, thus normalizing it?
Are you pleased with Hutton Gibsons recent endorsement? Do you, KDD, condemn Gibson's Holocaust denial? Do you acknowledge it's inappropriate to inject this ideoloty into the American political climate, thus normalizing it?
Do you think it would be a good idea for other Republicans to accept support from this corner of the electorate? If so, have Republicans from Ronald Reagan to Bush I to Bush II to the RNC made a mistake by rejecting it?
Go get your f$%&in’ shine box.
Yep, I replied eariler to the same question.
The US can use scrap metal from the US Cole for Wild Shrimp research tanks in Ron Paul's district.
I was waiting for some tin foil logic...
Yes I benefit from oil imports. But I would never ask your child or my sons to die to protect my appetite for oil. That may be the basic difference between Paul and the rest of the globalists.
We enjoy you putting yourself in a pretzel. Yeah, we don’t care if we have Nazi’s supporting our candidate as long as the trains run on time. Perhaps you should wonder why Mooselimbs agree with your nutjob. It’s because they see the same thing we see in him??
Love your guy who blames the Cole for getting bombed rather than the terrorists. Pretty much the same thing as your Kook says about the towers.
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
It doesn't matter to a Ron Paulistinian. I mean, let them eat cake right?
"Wonder what the USA could do to help Lebanon?"
They will send Ron Paul and a suitcase full of "Letter of Marquee" papers to threaten those who do not adhere to the US Constitution.
Ah, The ol No Blood for Oil line from the Kook Paul supporter. What more needs to be said.
Pray for W and Our Oil Supporting Troops
Don't mention cake so close to Thanksgiving. Or pie.
What kind of country backs up another country by pushing them to release prisoners who are a threat to their national security?
