Ron Paul, who has consistently engaged in anti-Semitic nonsense over the course of the past few decades, has largely attempted to hide his anti-Semitism throughout his campaign. No longer. Ron Paul has issued this Arabic-language flyer outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan:
The flyer actually has two sides. The English side promotes Paul’s “Plan to Restore America” and touts his deficit cutting prowess and dislike of the Federal Reserve. The Arabic side, however – the side shown above – is far less subtle. It says that Paul will cut foreign aid, and specifically mentions only foreign aid to Israel as the target of cutting.
And that’s the point. Paul’s appeal to the Muslim community is strictly and completely based on his opposition to Israel. Paul’s anti-Semitism is well-documented; see his section on Zionism in Paul’s book Liberty Defined (better titled All The Weird Things Ron Paul Believes). His CYA maneuver, stating that he wants to cut all foreign aid, then determine to whom American should restore aid, is just that – a CYA maneuver. His real target is and always was Israel. I don’t see Ron Paul supporters handing out Hebrew flyers at my synagogue proclaiming his desire to cut off aid to Egypt, Libya, and the Palestinian Authority.
The Islamic Center of America, by the way, is a “moderate” establishment run by Imam Hassan Qazwini, who has refused Saudi funding for his mosque. He’s also hosted Louis Farrakhan, who according to Debbie Schlussel, took the time to call Jewish Americans “forces of evil” with a “Satanic mentality,” and according to Schlussel, has expressed support for terrorist groups including Hezbollah and Hamas. So it’s no surprise that Paul sees his parishioners as rich ground for recruits.
I don’t advocate cutting aid to Israel but advocating it is not sufficent proof that the advocator is an anti-semite.

Maybe not, if this were the only evidence for that conclusion. It’s not.
Okay, but what about his pandering to muslims?
If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.
Or you can get raw with these strings.
How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).
And finally, this, dedicated to the one and only rdb2, whose eyes are growing dim.
Either way, the violin is sweet yet LETHAL.
Do it!
Paul is a blame America first POS that should be in GITMO with his fellow believers.
wait. aren't you the guy who keeps so up to date with things that he recommended spamalot to mnehring as a must-see on broadway in january 2012?
and i have a reason for no caps right now. sorry. it bothers me, too.
I have read Liberty Defined and couldn’t remember anything anti-semitic. I followed the link above to the text on Google Books. Yes, Paul mentions Zionism and there is some criticism of knee-jerk pro-Israel US foreign policy, but still nothing I could identify as anti-semitic.
So there is a flyer in Michigan that specifically mentions cutting aid to Israel rather than fully explaining Paul’s view of ALL foreign aid. That’s a case of a flyer being less than 100% clear and honest - but you still can’t call it anti-semitism. Big deal.
If you’d like to be on or off, please
