Most of his supporters (not all, but most) probably find this stuff to be a feature, not a bug. They agree with him.

A former Ron Paul staffer named Eric Dondero, who worked closely with the Texas congressman and presidential candidate over the course of 15 years, has issued a statement in which he both defends his old boss from charges of racism and anti-Semitism and reveals damning new details about about the "sheer lunacy of [Paul's] foreign policy views".
First, Dondero claims that his old boss is such an extreme isolationist that "he strenuously does not believe the United States had any business getting involved in fighting Hitler in WWII. He expressed to me countless times, that 'saving the Jews,' was absolutely none of our business."
Second, Dondero writes that that Paul himself is a 9/11 conspiracy theorist:

We didn’t pick a fight with the Nazis, Pauli boy. They declared war on us.
Please let this turn into a ZOT thread. Come on, Paultards, don’t dissapoint me!
Every single candidate EXCEPT ROMNEY is getting the full treatment from the media
I dont know if this stuff is true or not (he is not my choice anyway) but I don’t believe they suddenly acquired this info over the last couple of days.
Go Romney! America needs ya, Americans need more moderation.
It's scary out here in constitutionalists land, hep us see our way oh RINO one...hep us.
Ron Paul is also for small government but ever notice how the folks who talk loudest about small government always seem to live in the states with the biggest subsides? Small government would kill them dead.
Somehow I’m not surprised..
Not surprised at all. He’s a freak.
Most of his supporters (not all, but most) probably find this stuff to be a feature, not a bug. They agree with him.
Even if the Nazis had not declared war on us we would have gone to war and stopped Hitler. Paul is a rules-based moron.
Once again, Ron Paul is insane.
Somebody didn't get the Kimber 1911 he wanted for Christmas so he needs a Zot present? Oh wait, that's me.
Maybe, maybe not. FDR asked for and got a declaration of war only against the japs.
Nothing the aide said is NEW. He just gave DETAILS!!
Yeah he was fire for threatening to quit over the no vote. And his poor Job performance was that he is not as insane as Paul and his cult following.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Paul REALLY is a COWARD deep down. Come on Paulettes tell us about CIC Skeletor.
Bingo. If I’m not mistaken, FDR viewed the Nazis as a much greater existential threat to the U.S. than Imperial Japan.
Ah ... now we are down to taking the word of a disgruntled fired employee. Cool
Maybe, maybe not. FDR asked for and got a declaration of war only against the japs.................................... True but we were already in it. The Brits were flying USA made air craft. Some of our west coast large bomber manufacturers were building English planes and shipping them to Canada. 100 destroyers for an naval base? We weren’t yet on European soil but we were in the war. A declaration of war against Germany was just a mater of a short time. We weren’t going to let them take England, there was too much at stake there in regard to strategic materials spread around her colonies. Can you imagine what that would have meant to the German’s? We had to get into it to protect our investments. WW II was no more about saving Jews than the Civil war was to freeing slaves.
If they said something that didn’t fit the pattern.
But when you count Stormfront among your friends, make pro Islamic, anti Israel comments, publish racist tomes in YOUR OWN newsletter etc. etc. it is very easy to see the truth in this individual’s assessment...
