I have never liked Ron Paul, due mainly to his anti-American rhetoric. Like the far left, Paul blames America first, for every war and conflagration. I thought Ron Paul was nuts before I ever heard the term "neo-con," a term used for every conservative who doesn't hate his own country.
Ron Paul blames the United States for the Muslim attack of 9/11 and states that he does not blame Islam for it. Paul believes America is an imperialist empire. On foreign policy, Paul is probably closer to Code Pink than to Ronald Reagan. This is unfortunate, because on economic matters Paul is generally spot-on, i.e., he believes in laissez-fair capitalism. This is the strange dichotomy of the paleconservatives, who seem to be political schizophrenics: far left on some issues, far right on others.
Now David Horowitz has an article about Ron Paul at News Real blog. It appears that Ron Paul wants to end all aid to Israel. Paulites are loudly arguing that this is not evidence of Paul's anti-semitism, but I just don't buy it.
Read it all here.

You are silly.
Is it that obvious?
I support Paul. I think that his economics are the best that any leader has advanced. As to his attitude to Islam, that is a little troublesome. But at the same time, he has a point. Islam has used our presence in the mid east as an excuse for their violence. This in nothing new. I goes back about 50 years. The problem we have is that Islam is now metastasizing throughout the world and carrying their violence and hate with them. As such, we need a policy of zero tolerance for this religion. I am sure that Paul would agree in that light.
David, Islam needs no excuse for their violence; it is commanded by the Koran. Islamic thugs have been committing violence against us since the days of Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary Pirates. They believe that dying in jihad will guarantee them a place in Heaven.

play dumb re 9/11
no questions re 9/11
What you have done will be the saving of Israel
You'll be remembered forever for this
Not only that you've been paid for your efforts
Pretty good wages for one little kiss
Nade, are you a "Truther"? It would appear so by your comments, which means you have no credibility at all.
