Posted at the request of a Paul supporter

And an additional article relating to the aforementioned jews4ronpaul as well as the Republican Jewish Coalition, castigated here by Paul supporters as irrelevant, there being so few Republican Jews. This would appear to bear that out, the kind of Jew that currently supports Republicans being unwelcome. Barbara Streisand, are you listening. I presume Zionist Christians are unwelcome as well, though that's not clear.

Don’t Be Surprised!

During the last few weeks, I’ve been looking at the indignant notes sent to me from Jews for Ron Paul, a high-spirited group to which I lent my radioactive name, about the crude behavior of the Republican Jewish Coalition and its National Chairman David Flaum. Ron Paul did not receive an invitation to appear with other Republican presidential hopefuls at the RJC’s Presidential Candidates’ Forum. Furthermore, a member of the RJC staff has suggested that Dr. Paul’s movement, which categorically opposes the dispersing of foreign aid and the waging of neo-Wilsonian crusades in the Middle East, had been infiltrated by nasty Nazi types. This particular accusation against Dr. Paul was never proved, although presumably those of us who question the aims of the RJC, e.g., a "US-Israeli alliance" to disseminate "democracy and liberty," must be fans of Hitler and the Waffen-SS. Otherwise, we would be faithfully parroting the RJC, by calling for extensive US military adventures – and even bigger gifts of foreign aid to the "only democracy" in the Middle East.

My question to other Jews for Ron Paul is this: Why would you expect the RJC to behave any differently from the way it does? Like the NAACP, the Armenian Assembly of America, and La Raza, it is a group of ethnic whiners organized to influence foreign and domestic policies. The RJC is doing exactly what it was set up to accomplish, and the discussion of its purpose was put into the extensive treatment of AIPAC and the Republican Party in the Mearsheimer-Walt book on the American-Israeli lobby. The problem is not really the RJC, whose sinister designs are clear enough. The real culprit is the Republican Party, with its questionable efforts at outreach.

Every time the Republican Party, which has the look of a scared gang of WASP placeholders, tries to reach out, it continues to weaken our already eroded constitutional liberties. Unlike the Democrats, who are multicultural, big-government maniacs but who know what they are, the Republicans are merely greasy operators. They pretend to be interested in "getting government off our backs" but expand the welfare state and federal control over education while unleashing costly wars of choice. And they would sell their mothers into slavery to receive the endorsement of the NAACP or to elicit a compliment from Abe Foxman. Although I could not conceive of the Democrats courting Phyllis Schlafly or Burt Blumert, I could easily imagine the big-tent Republicans at Heritage groveling before the ADL. They did it last month.

In a decent small-government Republican Party, there would be Jews for Ron Paul but not the Zionist lobbyists organized around the RJC pushing us into foreign wars. There is in fact nothing anti-Israeli about Ron Paul’s campaign. It is simply raising a different point of view about this country’s relation to the rest of the world. Dr Paul wants neither to "bomb nor to subsidize foreign countries," and his disinclination to subsidize Israel, which has been the most favored recipient of our public as well as private largess, used to be voiced repeatedly by Irving Kristol in the Wall Street Journal. I first encountered that view in the 1980s in Mr. Kristol’s columns, although that eventually-to-be-discarded opinion, just like Ron Paul’s reservations about foreign aid and entangling alliances, may have come from Nazi advisors. Undoubtedly the RJC will soon be discovering who they are.

Too funny, E, Jackson posted the link you gave him from an earlier Paul thread. You may have to provide him with other links on this thread so he can post later. LOL

Have you heard that Dr. Paul’s former House colleague, Barry M. Goldwater, Jr., has endorsed him?

This whole article (the one on top anyway) is full of hyperbolic bull$hit and guilt by association.

Well actually Ron Paul appears to be disavowing some contributions: those given by bankers and Wall Streeters. Corporate money is too dirty for Ron Paul to accept but KKK money is not?

Corporate donations are ILLEGAL. You're trying to establish a false "double standard," but you don't seem to understand basic facts like that one.

As for the donation from Don Black, I'd love to see him denounce the man and his goals in public, maybe even give back the money, but no one thinks Paul is racist or anti-semitic. It's all guilt by association.

This stuff hasn't caught on in the media because it's intellectually dishonest.

Hey, SJackson, did you notice that the Sci-Fi channel is running some program titled “Storm Front” for 2 hours tonight?

Ron Paul is behind it, no doubt.

The “American Stinker” is an unabashedly pro-zionist rant machine. Naturally, when it comes to Dr. Paul and his America first positions, they go ballistic. The shriller their voice, the more it seems that Dr. Paul’s popularity increases.

Whenever I remember I spent four years in the John Birch Society I feel dirty.

All that "international bankers/conspiracy/funny money" stuff is outright Nazism--not to mention the fact that we had a "central bank" under the Articles of Confederation and another created by Hamilton and Washington (who certainly knew what was "constitutional" and what wasn't).

At least bank notes are (theoretically at least) backed by actual cash on deposit. These Birchites insist that all evils would cease if "the government" merely printed its own money, backed by absolutely nothing, because then we wouldn't be paying interest to "international bankers!"

And btw, unlike Mr. Hamilton's bank, the Federal Reserve is part of the US government (contrary to Birch/Nazi doctrine).

Hillary’s “...Her negatives are too high so her people know that they need a 3rd party to get her elected and they’ll do whatever it takes to splinter the GOP vote. Ron Paul is a perfect candidate to be the useful idiot.”

This point was just made on another thread and needs to be repeated. Ron Paul will guarantee a Hillary victory.

Ron Paul supporters are campaigning heavily against Fred Thompson by creating fake websites that bad-mouth and deride Fred. They create a site, then google-bomb it to push all positive articles and official Fred websites off into Google netherland so that they won’t be seen.

It’s one thing to run a positive campaign that supports your candidate, but it’s quite another when you spend all your time attempting to derail another candidate.

Ron Paul supporters and spammers have absolutely no class at all. They suk big time.

I just noticed that you registered at the RINO forum and are posting your anti-Paul stuff there. Much more receptive audience over there. I wonder why?
