Dondero claims that the presidential candidate is not merely anti-Semitic but wishes the Israeli state did not exist at all.
This is a very deceptive claim. Here is the relevant quote on the matter of anti-Semitism from the interview with Dondero: "Is Ron Paul an anti-Semite? Absolutely no. As a Jew [half on my mother's side], I can categorically say that I never heard anything out of his mouth, in hundreds of speeches I listened to over the years, or in my personal presence, that could be called, 'anti-Semite.' No slurs. No derogatory remarks," Dondero said.
The part about wishing Israel did not exist, was an accurate quote. The issue is a political beef with the Nation of Israel, not animosity to the Jews as a race. One can take Ron Paul to task on his quoted political position on Israel without falsely putting accusations of anti-Semitism in the mouth of someone who never made such accusations. Ron Paul has enough to answer for without critics totally fabricating new accusations.

Hard to believe Ron paul is third in National polls. If he is the Republican candidate it will take a lot for me to stagger to the polls and vote for him.
Don’t know if I can do it.I sure don’t want to.
It’s a bit like condemning America to a certain death.
Much like voting for Obama.
God save us.

Uncle Sam: "I spent billions on Israel, and all I got was this black eye."
Me: "May I have my free trip to the Holy Land now?"

Sending billions to Israel (or other foreign lands for that matter) is like purchasing the perfect stick with which to beat a hornet’s nest, beating the nest repeatedly, and expecting only thanks in return.
How much have we spent?
Where has it gone?
What have we gotten in return?
There are a good many people in this country who would like to find out. It’s called “accountability,” and there’s nothing kooky about it.
