San Antonio, TX – Texas Congressman Ron Paul, who is leading the polls in advance of next Tuesday’s Republican caucuses in Iowa, denies allegations that he has promoted anti-Semitism, saying that this would be “a betrayal of my own intellectual heritage.”

“Any kind of racism or anti-Semitism is incompatible with my philosophy,” Paul said in an interview with Haaretz, conducted by email. “Ludwig von Mises, the great economist whose writing helped inspire my political career, was a Jew who was forced to leave his native Austria to escape the Nazis. Mises wrote about the folly of seeing people as part of groups rather than as individuals,” Paul said.
Maybe he’s not an anti Semite, but he certainly is a nut, unfit for any office.
Deep words from an intelligent man who sees the value of individuals rather than blind groups
If it quacks like a duck…
most antisemites dont consider themself’s as one , since for what they feel and think about jews , they see themself’s restraining more then reacting !
Question: Ron, would you have saved my grandmother from the gas chambers in Germany?
Answer: I share the same view as most libertarians that we should not have gotten involved in WWII.
Ok, so I guess in your wishful mind, I do not exist, so I cant vote.
I’m not an anti-Semite! Some of my best friends are Jewish…
Haaretz can find the benefit of the doubt in the one who would allowed germany to butcher the entire Jewish nation- but has issues with the entire Charedi public for the silliness of a few. Someone needs to put Haaretz to sleep-
I’m not a racist, despite of what the jewish-owned media says.
“Intellectual heritage” ???
Now he tells us -but the words are out of his mouth.
Jews have long memories.
Ron Paul has plenty of the Aryan Nation members and other Nazis who support him!
Nixon said he wasn’t a crook….another non truth…sorry Ron …don’t believe you.
Sounds like Richard Nixon proclaiming: ‘I am not a crook!’
I am not anti-Semite, I am just stupid…
Ha! As a bi-racial woman, I get this sort of thing ALL THE TIME, when someone says something horribly rude about African American folks, and then find themselves trapped by their own words, once I make it known that I myself am half-black!
Then it becomes, “Oh! I didn’t mean anything by it! Some of my BEST FRIENDS are black!”
LOL!!! (:-D
Save it Ron Paul! The Jews are way too smart for this nonsense!
They can spot an anti-semite from 2 miles away! (lol) You are never gonna convince them after everything you’ve said the past 20-30 years, (and even recently!), that you are somehow a friend to Israel!
At this point, even the Jews who can’t STAND President Obama, think HE’S a better friend to Israel than you! And that’s saying somethin!
Just go back to Texas, where lots of other folks think like you do, ok? The rest of us in the Progressive parts of the country have some serious decisions to make about who is going to run this country… and I can assure you, not many will be choosing you!
Here is the bottom line.
Ron Paul believes that the Jewish state is more trouble than its worth. How long until he believes that Jews themselves are more trouble than they are worth?
Assuming he doesn’t already believe that.
The only way I will vote for Obama is if Ron Paul is the Republican candidate rachmanah litzlan
In defense of former President Richard M. Nixon, outside of his admitted coverup of the Watergate burglary, he did accomplish some good deeds while in office. He made contact with China, whose regime had been isolated for nearly twenty three years. Also, he established detente with the Soviet Union, and helped pave the way for emigration of thousands of Soviet Jews, and Soviet dissidents. During the Yom Kippur War, he came to the aid of Eretz Yisrael with a massive airlift of military supplies, which saved Israel. Even Golda Meir stated “For generations, all will be told of the immense planes from the United States, which meant life for our people”.
why are you all writing so much about the obvious? You are all trying to convince each other of what you already believe!
Actions speak louder than words!!!
