Ron Paul’s Problem with the Jews

I ran across this article while stumbling. It talks about the increasing success of Texas congressman Ron Paul. His libertarian message and non-imperial foreign policy is earning him quite a bit of attention in a ruckus race.

Government Shrinker - Ron Paul

While his fortunes are growing, the article claims that one potential threat to his continued success, is the kinds of supporters that are joining up.

Indeed, Ron Paul has become the most popular candidate among right-wing extremists, including white separatists, neo-Nazis, and conspiracy theorists who believe that “the Zionists” were behind 9/11. This group includes Frank Weltner, creator of the antisemitic website JewWatch.com, who in a YouTube video, accuses the “Zionist-controlled media” of attacking Paul’s candidacy. Paul has also received favorable coverage from the Vanguard News Network, a White Nationalist news organ, members of Stormfront, an online neo-Nazi community, as well as the National Alliance, the “mainstream” White Nationalist group featured prominently in Marc Levin’s 2005 film Protocols of Zion.

The article claims that this will cause a problem in the long run, since Jewish voters will be less likely to join up and support the candidate along side neo-Nazis.

Mashugana!

Ron Paul has a “Jewish Problem” like Dennis Kucinich has a problem slam-dunking a basketball, or I have a problem spending a million dollars. In other words, Ron Paul's, isn't a problem at all. In order to have a problem with your election, your election has to be possible. That’s Ron Paul’s real problem, he doesn’t have any votes. Not nationally. Not in any of the important primaries. It is interesting how much fuss has been made over Ron Paul, without any ability to increase his poll numbers at all. Without a surprise showing in Iowa, New Hampshire, or South Carolina his candidacy will be over before spring.
