"The Republican Jewish Coalition announced this month that congressman Ron Paul would not be among the six guests invited to participate in its Republican Presidential Candidates Forum"........ "While Paul’s views on Israel certainly place him outside the American, never mind Republican, mainstream, there is an even more elementary reason the RJC was right to exclude him from its event. It is Paul’s lucrative and decades-long promotion of bigotry and conspiracy theories, for which he has yet to account fully, and his continuing espousal of extremist views, that should make him unwelcome at any respectable forum, not only those hosted by Jewish organizations.

I’m surprised you didn’t join the “occupy” crowd. Oh, my mistake, Maybe you did.
OK, now I know how Ron Paul holds onto his cult.
It was good debating with you. You are probably a very good person. But it is a sad day when someone who believes in Jesus Christ wants to eradicate another religion. You should get to know some people from different religions. The radicals on ALL sides are idiots and distort their religion. You should read the bible more as a Catholic and stop hating other religions.
And finally.......the military industrial complex wants an enemy to fight for profit and power. You should listen to what President Dwight Eisenhower stated during his final speech as President on January 17, 1961. You are falling for the propaganda of the globalists that want to destroy our beauitfully designed country.
Look what war has brought us. We have lost so many wonderful american citizens. We are bankrupt and our military is spread over 900 plus bases around the world.
We don’t even protect our own borders. Does that make sense that our presidents send our troops to protect other countries and spend billions of dollars while leaving our border wide open? C’mon....open your eyes. Our presidents are not stupid. This is intentional. How can it not be? Presidents and members of congress from both parties have done the same.
As a country we are headed for disaster. I hope you are prepared my friend. Again....is our country better now than it was when our grandparents were around.....or since 1913 when the Federal Reserve was created?
We are following the playbook of Rome. And we all know what happened.
Jukeman- I am against violent protest and have never been involved in any public protest. However I do enjoy voicing my first amendment rights for my distain for corruption. You ever risked your life for the defense of the Constitution or someone else’s freedom? I have for the last 20 years.
Ron Paul has the right to speak his views, but that doesn’t obligate any private organization to pay for his microphone.
“Proud2beRight”.....yep....your are right. All of the time. Keep following the status quo. Our country is in horrible shape for that exact reason. You are right; war is good, our country is better than it ever was, the govt has integrity, 16 trillion is debt is good and the founding fathers are bad.
Now.... I know why the sheeple of this country keep voting the same idiots into office and our country is in decline.
I support Ron Paul....but I agree with your statement 100%.
But he's wacked in so many other ways.
and is probably the only candidate that can save this country from spending itself into oblivion.
And take us to oblivion in a dozen other ways.
Love Libertarian views on small government, but Paul is just not the one to have carry that flag.
Hey Sonic109-
If another country was bombing us....and I’m talking another nation’s armed forces....would you be happy?

At least you have an open mind. Cheers my friend:)
Just cannot read the facts about the Ron Paul letters and then answer my questions can you? Denying their existence does not change their content and what they expose. If you don’t care he is the racist nut he displays in the newsletter, fine. The Dan Rather-like conspiracy theory doesn’t work.
Your candidate is a crackpot. He is NOT conservative. He is NOT Tea Party. He is NOT GOP. He is the babbling streetcorner crazy that people cross the street to avoid.
Ciao tkas,
“...Ron Paul has the right to speak his views, but that doesn’t obligate any private organization to pay for his microphone....”
Yes of course and I think Ron Paul himself would be the first to agree with you. But “legal” doesn’t mean “right” or smart or wise.
Precisely because that Jewish Republican group is worried about Ron Paul’s policies and Ron Paul has such a big following, they need to hear for themselves and then - if needs be - refute.
The guy is number two / number three in the REPUBLICAN primary polls. They should want to hear him, welcome the clash.
Let’s hear boos and hurrays. Let’s get hard questions and piercing comebacks. Especially on such important issues as Israel, war on terror, foreign entanglements, unintended consequences (i.e diaspora of Christians from Irak and now Egypt, the unintended consequence of Islamists taking over Libya. etc. etc.
Allowing a REPUBLICAN top runner to speak is not an endorsement. What are they afraid of? I can’t understand the big deal.
If I were a Jewish Republican I’d feel cheated by the exclusion of N°2 / N°3 in the polls. I wouldn’t like the idea of organizers making up my mind for me. I would say: “Hey, Jews have all sorts of opinions (as proven by fist fights in the Knesset).
There I see the man’s volunteers, his posters, his TV commercials... there I see him on Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS (the whole alphabet soup) then I’m supposed to go to your REPUBLICAN forum... and he’s not there?!
So sure, it’s a private organization and even though they call themselves “REPUBLICANS” they could have invited all Democrats to discuss weather conditions in Burundi - that’s a given - no argument whatsoever... but Republicans who silence a top-running Republican makes no sense.
Ok.....you are right. We should stay the course. God help us.
Oh...and since you are “right” on staying the course...which GOP Candidate do you support?
2ndDivisionVet-
You are one of my favorites on FR for years. You post great stuff....But cmon...I can find millions of photos that make any politician look bad.
I am a Jewish Republican and also a member of this organization. There are some views so outside the parameters of acceptability, that they have no place within the “walls” of the RJC. It is a darn shame that he is doing as well as he is in the party. The Democrat party is where the anti-semites belong, not the Republican party.
Oh...and since you are “right” on staying the course...which GOP Candidate do you support?
I support Israel and believe they can stand up and whip anyone’s ass themselves.
