Like Jeff Lord, I don't care much for Ron Paul's foreign policy nor do I care for the anti-Semitic inclinations of some of his followers.

With that said, I do concur with Lord that the Republican Jewish Coalition (of which I have been a member) erred in not inviting Paul to its GOP Presidential Candidates Forum, which is scheduled to take place tomorrow in Washington, D.C.

RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks argues that inviting Paul would be akin to inviting President Obama to speak. I say that's fine. It would have been a welcome opportunity for Jewish Republicans to confront Paul about his anti-Israel views and put him on the defensive by likening him to President Obama. It is one of those instances in which free speech should be countered by more free speech. Besides it would have been fun to watch Paul squirm.

Of course, all of this assumes that Paul would have accepted their invitation had the RJC chosen to extend it. But if Paul had declined to attend, the RJC could say, "See, we invited him and he wanted no part of us."

Occam's Tool| 12.6.11 @ 4:14PM

I agree completely, as I've already stated. Despite the fact that Paulbots are scum and Paul's district is the worst hellhole in Texas (I lived in Galvetraz for four years---I hate Galveston), I say, let him debate.

C Bowen| 12.6.11 @ 4:28PM

Occam;

I am not familiar with the RJC--other than that when Fred Thompson spoke there, the crowd was divided when he said he wouldn't pardon Jonathan Pollard (the traitor), but anyway, do they agree with your position that Iran, and well, most of the Middle East, be nuclear bombed with American boys (and girls) leading the charge?

I would love for that to be on tee-vee.

Occam's Tool| 12.6.11 @ 4:41PM

American missiles, not American soldiers. And Mr. Bowen, I don't believe that that the nuclear destruction of Iran is a preferrable thing---if they were able to install a sane government it might be avoided---it is an INEVITABLE thing with the current government. The only question is when, not IF. And who does it.

I doubt the RJC would support it; I don't belong. But again, I don't regard you, or Clint, or Jack as philosemites; please. I can tell my enemies by the stench.

With regards to Zbig: you are right, Paul is a traitor and a scumbag. But allowing speech one disagrees with, even from a guy friendly with Nazis, is a good thing. It is why we are Americans. Soon enough there will be a WMD assault on the US due to the worthless panderings of Paul and Kucinich and their Islamic allies. Then will be the time to counterpunch against those who torment and belittle our country, like the Iranians. And their payback will be a bitch of an Rottweiler with a headache and an active menses.

C Bowen| 12.6.11 @ 4:48PM

Now you are just lying, unless, right now, you wish to state that you are renounce your previous "nuke them all" position.

Aaron,

Please let me know if the RJC supports a nuke them all position like Occam does--he seems eager to know, and at the least, please apologize to me personally, for letting Occam post at Am-Spec.

Yep. G*d help you if you support Israel. Then you should be stripped of your citizenship. What an f-ing joke you people are.

And brand all who disagree as "traitors". Traitors to what? War and oppression on a global scale? The permanent Garrison State?

Clint| 12.6.11 @ 4:32PM

Dr.Ron Paul,
“Our military’s purpose is to defend our country, not to police the
Middle East.

“As the President prepares to send even more support to Egypt, we should
be reminded that it was our foreign aid that helped Mubarak retain power
to repress his people in the first place. Now we have to deal with the
consequences of those decisions, yet we keep repeating the same mistakes.

“I am not the only one who can see the absurdities of our foreign
policy. We give $3 billion to Israel and $12 billion to her enemies.
Most Americans know that makes no sense.

“We need to come to our senses, trade with our friends in the Middle
East (both Arab and Israeli), clean up our own economic mess so we set a
good example, and allow them to work out their own conflicts.”

Jack in Wi| 12.6.11 @ 4:54PM

Paul almost never turns down an invitation from a reputable organization that would give him an honest hearing. I am sure he would have come if a civil and intelligent invitation would have come. I don't believe the loonies from this Jewish outfit know what the words civil and intelligent mean. The American people wish Israel well. We wish them peace and freedom, as long as they keep their hands out of our pockets, and quit buying our political class.

Solo| 12.6.11 @ 6:25PM

Yeah...you tell 'em, Jack!

Keep those damned Jews from picking our pockets and buying our politicians so they can control us to their own ends!!

While we're at it, we need to stop them from eating our babies in some sick, twisted Jew religious ritual, as well, huh?

RONPAULRONPAULRONPAUL!

Jack in Wi| 12.6.11 @ 7:17PM

I think RonPaul has finally deranged most of the Zionists on this site. The fact that they have to depend on such a guy as Gingrich as their last hope is proof of that. What part don't you get, that we all could care less, what happens to Israel or what Israel does with it's own money or blood. We care about the trillions that Israel has cost us in the last 63 years. We are also sick of our sons and daughters dying in wars that were instigated to save Isreal.

I do mean trillions. The Council of the American Intrest had done studies which conclude that israel has cost the USA between it's founding and now, between 3 and 5 trillion dollars. That is direct aid , endless intrest on that aid, loans and grants that are never paid back, bribes to the Arabs and other Muslims to be nice to Israel, huge oil surcharges on our oil prices because the Arabs want to get even, and a lot more.

Solo| 12.6.11 @ 8:57PM

Yeah! Preach it, Jack!

Damned right! Those frickin Joooos are really sticking it to us!
We're spending $Trillions? (is that what you said?) for their benefit and God knows how many 1000's of our own children fighting for Israel, huh?

You're pathetic!

C'mmon that's silly; to scream "Antisemitism" whenever you don't have a valid argument.

jagscl| 12.7.11 @ 9:07AM

Do you see a problem, any problem at all, in the position that the US should stand by and watch the Arab Middle East destroy Israel? Do you believe it in the national interest for Hamas or their like to then control what once was Israel? Isn't this the inevitable result of Paul's foreign policy position in the Middle East?

William R| 12.6.11 @ 6:03PM

We're tired of fighting wars for that crappy little country Israel.

Solo| 12.6.11 @ 8:54PM

Really, William?

Interesting! Now....exactly which war have we ever fought for Israel? I gotta tell, dude....if there was one, I must have missed it.

I have to admit, however, that I may not be as "tuned-in" to this vast Jooooo conspiracy as Jack and, perhaps, you are.

Have you got a reference regarding this heretofore unknown "war" we fought for Israel?

Zbigniew Mazurak| 12.6.11 @ 4:16PM

You are wrong, Aaron, and so is Jeffrey Lord. Actually, is morally repugnant (and I don't use this combination of words often) for you and Lord to lecture the RJC and tell it to accept the traitor from TX-14. Ron Paul is a despicable traitor, a fool, and an isolationist Blame America First loon. He has no business running for the GOP's nomination for any office, let alone for President. The RJC's decision to ban him from their forum was THE RIGHT DECISION. If Faux News, CNN, MSNBC, and CBS folks had any balls, they would've banned Ron "Blame America First" Paul from their debates, too.

Clint| 12.6.11 @ 4:28PM

Ronald Reagan,
"Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country."

Clint| 12.6.11 @ 4:34PM

" Nonintervention or non-interventionism is a foreign policy which holds that political rulers should avoid alliances with other nations, but still retain diplomacy, and avoid all wars not related to direct self-defense. This is based on the grounds that a state should not interfere in the internal politics of another state, based upon the principles of state sovereignty and self-determination. A similar phrase is "strategic independence".Historical examples of supporters of non-interventionism are US Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who both favored nonintervention in European Wars while maintaining free trade. Other proponents include United States Senator Robert Taft and United States Congressman Ron Paul.

Nonintervention is distinct from isolationism, the latter featuring economic nationalism (protectionism) and restrictive immigration. Proponents of non-interventionism distinguish their policies from isolationism through their advocacy of more open national relations, to include diplomacy and free trade."

Solo| 12.6.11 @ 5:24PM

Here ya go, Clint:

From The Random House College Dictionary/Revised Edition. Copyright 1982

"Isolationism:
The policy or doctrine that peace and economic advancement can best be achieved by isolating one's country from alliances and commitments with other nations."

Let me ask you PaulBots something;

How does The RuPaul feel about the "North American FREE Trade Agreement"?
How about the "Canadian American FREE Trade Agreement"?
And...let's not forget about his desire to keep those little brown "wetback" truckers off our "
Super Highways".

And then....the Coup de Grace; The gold standard.
With our system based on a yellow metal we scratch out of the ground, any trading partners would simply "game" our system by adding or subtracting supply of their goods based on the fluctuating price of gold on the world markets--thus draining our reserves at their convenience.
We'd be effectively forced to cease international trade or go bust....Unless The RuPaul can talk the entire world to go onto the gold standard.

So..with no foreign alliances, no mutual defense agreements, and no trade...we certainly wouldn't need diplomats, either. Would we?

That, my misinformed friend, is isolationism--even by your heavily parsed standards.

Why does The RuPaul support all of these policies?

Because he's a f@#$ing ISOLATIONIST, that's why!

Clint| 12.6.11 @ 5:31PM

Duuuuhhhhhhh !

Dr. Ron Paul,
“We need to come to our senses, trade with our friends in the Middle

Clint| 12.6.11 @ 5:43PM

Does Dr.Ron Paul really want to take us back to the Gold Standard?

In one word: No. That is a catch-phrase used (by those who are not familiar with his points) in an an attempt to misinform others (who are even less familiar with what he wants) about his allegedly "backwards" policy proposals. The truth is he does not want to "go back" to a gold standard. He wants to go forward to something that has never existed.

So, what does he really want?
Dr.Ron Paul wants gold and silver to be able to freely compete, as currencies, with government established currencies (like the federal reserve notes that are currently bearing the legend “dollar”) on an even footing. He wants to do this by removing any and all tax burdens from exchanges of gold and silver.

The Tea Party Rebellion Is Here And In Iowa.

Red Phillips| 12.6.11 @ 9:00PM

So Solo, let's make this clear. Since you are railing against gold, does that mean you support the current system of Federal Reserve bank notes as legal tender? If so, I would like to get this documented here forever in print for all the world to see. Thanks.

Red Phillips| 12.6.11 @ 9:05PM

Also Solo, Ron Paul supports true free trade. As a proponent of the Austrian school of economic he is a free trade absolutist. (I don't necessarily agree with him on this.) But he rejects sovereignty sacrificing managed trade agreements like NAFTA. So, lets get this down for all the world to see also. Are you suggesting you support sovereignty sacrificing trade agreements? Thanks.

Solo| 12.6.11 @ 4:41PM

It's a moot point.
The RuPaul would not have accepted the invitation, regardless.

The last thing he would do is be found rubbing elbows with THE JOOOOOOOOS just before his lunatic fringe trundles forth to attempt to scam the Iowa Caucus.

Hell....his tin-foil-hat wearing base would start avoiding him like he was a chem trail or mind control floride in their Gubmit supplied drinking water.

It was just last week that he said on national television that he wouldn't end the Fed right away. The PaulBots probably already suspect that he might have been "compromised" by the globalist "banksta Joooos" for that comment alone.

" Dr.Ron Paul graduated from Gettysburg College in 1957 and furthered his education by attending Duke University Medical Center. During this time, he married Carol Wells, who he had known since high school. In 1961, four years after his marriage, Paul obtained his medical degree.

Paul, by now in his late 20s, moved with his wife to Michigan where he completed his internship at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Utilizing his physician's training, Paul served in the United States Air Force as a flight surgeon for several years (1963-1965). While in the air force, Paul reached the rank of Captain. Directly after his service in the air force, Paul worked again as a flight surgeon for the United States Air National Guard (1965-1968). "

"It would have been a welcome opportunity for Jewish Republicans to confront Paul about his anti-Israel views..."

It is a sad commentary on the state of the Israel/foreign policy debate that presumably intelligent people like Mr. Goldstein can't distinguish between calling for neutrality and being "anti" something.

I don't think it is a matter of intellect. Surely Aaron is intelligent enough to get this distinction. Rather it is a matter of not being able to disentangle emotions from reason and reality. If you’re not for the current obviously pro-Israel status quo then you must be "anti" Israel. This is an emotional response, not a rational one.

Clint| 12.6.11 @ 5:15PM

Jeffrey Goldberg,
" There are good reason to include Ron Paul. He is, in one sense, a true Zionist, a believer in two core values of the Jewish liberation movement: Jewish independence and Jewish self-reliance. Independence is self-explanatory; self-reliance, in the context of national defense, holds that the Jewish state shouldn't seek the help of foreign soldiers to defend it."

" Michael Scheuer, who was the head analyst at the CIA’s bin Laden unit, Alec Station, and authored the books Through Our Enemies Eyes and Imperial Hubris, said “I thought Mr. Paul captured it the other night exactly correctly. This war is dangerous to America because it’s based, not on gender equality, as Mr. Giuliani suggested, or any other kind of freedom, but simply because of what we do in the Islamic World – because ‘we’re over there,’ basically, as Mr. Paul said in the debate.”

Scheuer also agreed with Dr. Paul’s statement in the debate that the war in Iraq was a diversion from capturing or killing Osama bin Laden and that bin Laden was “delighted” that the U.S. is occupying Iraq as it has become a training ground and recruiting tool for new jihadists joining the movement."

How many of these turgid screeds do you have & how often do you have to paste them before you'll realize that your perpetual candidate is a JOKE?

Micah B. Haber| 12.7.11 @ 1:06AM

Mr. Goldstein tells an anecdote where some Ron Paul supporters posted anti-Semitic comments to a thread on a previous article. My anecdote, and likely more useful as I am around more Ron Paul supporters more often than Mr. Goldstein, is that anti-Semites are in the far minority, being by my count two.

Mr. Goldstein states that Rep. Paul is "anti-Israel." He gives no evidence to support this contention. There are two facts that imply Paul is effectively pro-Israel. First, US foreign aid to Israel is dwarfed by that given to her Arab neighbors. Eliminating foreign aid would be a net benefit for Israel. Secondly, malignant US interventionism in Israel's internal affairs have prevented it from taking actions necessary to its security. Ceasing to pressure Israel to give in to those that wish to destroy it, and not preventing it from defending itself, would be a far more pro-Israel policy than we have had historically, or any of the other candidates are likely to pursue.

Clint| 12.7.11 @ 1:09AM

Dr.Ron Paul,
" I have never voted for an earmark. I voted against all appropriation bills. So, this whole thing about earmarks is totally misunderstood.
Earmarks is the responsibility of the Congress.
If you cut off all the earmarks, it would be 1 percent of the budget. But, if you vote against all the earmarks, you don't cut one penny. That is what you have to listen to. We're talking about who has the responsibility, the Congress or the executive branch?

I'm saying, get it out of the hands of the executive branch. Just listen again about what I have said about the TARP funds. We needed to earmark every penny. Now we gave them $350 billion, no earmarks, and nobody knows..."

No sir, those that would squirm are the little chicken hawks & weasels that have been lying to the brave and hard working men and women of the USA to pay for their wars and fight their battles for them. When Ron exposes them for the great cowards they are then we will watch them squirm as they always do.

I don't think it is necessary. In fact telling Ron Paul that Jewish Republicans don't care for him much is not such a bad thing anyway.
