Does Ron Paul Have a Jewish Problem?
Interesting piece today from the Jewish Telegraph Agency by Daniel Sieradski about the neo-Nazi types who have been attracted to the Ron Paul campaign. (As part of his libertarian agenda, Paul wants to cut off air to Israel--and other countries, too, it should be added.) Sieradski notes that there's nothing to indicate Paul himself is antisemetic in the least but his campaign hasn't said if it will return contributions from White Nationalists. The great test of any movement is how it will deal with the crazies who are, for whatever reason, attracted to its cause. Organized labor purged the Communists; William F. Buckley drove the John Birchers out of the mainstream conservative movement. Now it's the Libertarians turn. By inclination, I'm sure the Freedom Lovin' Paul campaign doesn't want to trounce on anyone's rights. But do they really need to accept money from antisemites? See more here from the Lone Star Times.
I'm not a Libertarian but I like Ron Paul and his campaign and I think efforts to discredit him like what Rudy Giuliani said at the presidential debate aren't fair. But this seems like a valid criticism.
