Best of 2009: “Ron Paul: Every bit as bad as we thought”

Ron Paul’s wickedness is not a big surprise — it was out there, as I told you, for anyone who wanted to know. But Cold Fury lays out Paul’s latest display of true, Jew-hating colors just so:
“Israel’s preemptive war.” “A few small missiles.” Palestinians “living in concentration camps.” America “rightfully to blame.” It’s all here in this rich, rich vein of vapid isolationism, utter stupidity, and contempt for the only functioning democracy in the Middle East . . . The line between Left and Right isn’t straight; it’s circular, and the ends meet right smack between this moron’s ears.
No, it’s not “merely anti-Israel” — you can’t be that morally blind about Israel’s moral position in this situation and not be an antisemite; and given the track record, this is not exactly a new insight. As blogger Rougman comments at the post, “I guess he doesn’t want to leave that Nazi vote on the table come 2012.” They never do.
So what’s scarier — that this wretched gnome is member of Congress? Or that so many people, otherwise capable of being taken seriously, were so seriously taken with Ron Paul?

You truly don’t get where Dr. Paul is coming from. You thought he was done last year but his message today is more respected than ever. If you think that the government of Israel has no faults and no wrongheaded policies, then you need a reality check. Dr. Paul is against Jews. He is against the politics of the Israi’s government.

I don’t think the government of Israel “has no faults and no wrongheaded policies.” And you can’t have followed and read the links in my post if you think that’s my argument.
I don’t think Ron Paul would favor any policy of the government of Israel.
Nice Freudian slip there, by the way.

Sorry about the Freudian typos but you get my drift. Do we agree that Dr. Paul is Anti-Israel rather than Anti-Jew?

No. You can’t have read the links in this post and possibly come to that conclusion.
