back to the "Paul" people. I think that Ron and Rand are not Anti-Semites. in many ways they are worse then Anti-Semites because I believe they are smart and pragmatic enough to use hate as a tool. I think Ron Paul thought strongly enough of Jews to name his son Rand like Ayn Rand. he thinks Jews are so strong that they can take care of themselves. It isn't hate so much as abuse. he probably is right when he concludes that the world would hate Israel anyway. While Israel is stupid to of tried to of gone to bed with Chavez, Paul knows how to work the extreme element. I don't believe for a second that he has any empathy for those he is giving the idea that he is against Israel. he also is very aware that he is stepping on the reputation of Jews. He is using stupid people and that is frightening that he would use victims as a tool to power. Ron Paul is not Hitler. his abuse is means to an end of abolishing a Federal bank. I disagree that this can be done because a transparent economic system would cause a panic, but his means of getting his poor objective is to manipulate the masses by scape goating their historic hate. 
Back in the US, Ron Paul crawled out of his hole in the ground, to defend Al Queda. Anyone living in Paul's district, or for that matter outside, might consider backing Tim Graney. a tea party activist who's running against Ron Paul.
Rand Paul has not answered the question regarding whether or not he believes 9/11 was our fault, but he has stated to the Wall Street Journal that there are only "minor areas" where he disagrees with his father overall. Is there a bigger issue than 9/11 and the terrorism that caused it?Rand Paul has a big problem if he answers that question. If he agrees publicly with his father that Islamic terrorism is America's fault, it will be the nail in the coffin of his campaign here in Kentucky. If he denies his father's claim with any clarity, he will lose his base, and that would also be the nail in his campaign's coffin. It's as simple as that.
Rand Paul needs to be asked the question repeatedly if he believes America is to blame for the acts of terror perpetrated against her, particularly 9/11 and the latest attack in Detroit. It's the most important question of our time. He needs to have the guts to be as clear about his position on this as his father is, no matter the political fallout. Kentuckians should accept nothing less than a clear answer on this question.
It's not too difficult to find anti-military sentiment coming from Rand Paul, despite his unwillingness to answer the question on 9/11. In this video, starting at about the 11:00 mark, he compares the turning over of high school students' names to military recruiters to the actions of Napolean and Hitler. The Pauls
see the American military as aggressors.

Aide quits Paul's Senate campaign after blog postLOUISVILLE, Ky. — A campaign aide to Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Rand Paul resigned Thursday after racist images linked to the staffer — including a lynching photo and epithet — appeared on a political blog.
Christopher Hightower stepped down abruptly as campaign coordinator after a Kentucky blog called Barefoot and Progressive showed the racist images that it says were posted on Hightower's MySpace page.
Hightower, who had been with Paul's campaign since its outset, adamantly denied any connection to the images, and the campaign said he didn't post them. The black-and-white image of a person dangling from a tree linked to Hightower was posted on the site by a commentator identified as only "D," according to the blog.
"I definitely deny anything that has anything to do with that," Hightower told The Associated Press in a phone interview before his resignation was announced. "It's not me. I'm definitely not a racist."
The campaign called the images "reprehensible" and said they "have no place in civil discourse."
"I have never heard a single utterance of racism from this staffer, nor do I believe him to have any racist tendencies," Paul, the son of former presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, said in a statement.
"However, it is impossible to present the ideas and reforms we need in this country with this controversy present. Therefore, I have accepted his resignation," Paul said.
Secretary of State Trey Grayson, a rival in the GOP Senate race, quickly pounced.
"I think Rand Paul's judgment is seriously in question at this point," Grayson said in a statement.
Hightower, a musician who has played with numerous bands, said he has never had a personal MySpace page, and that he has been targeted in the past by people posing as him on the Internet.
A screen-capture of the MySpace page posted on the blog only has the name Chris. The page has since been taken down, but an archived version stored by a search engine does show the images that led to Hightower's resignation.
Hightower said the blog posting, which criticized him, was aimed at embarrassing Paul, a Bowling Green eye surgeon who has proven to be a strong campaign fundraiser.
"Because they don't have any dirt on Rand Paul, they want to try to create dirt on people that work for him," Hightower said.
Hightower held several roles, including campaign treasurer and voter-outreach work, said Paul campaign manager David Adams. Hightower had also been an occasional spokesman for the campaign.
Adams said the campaign would bounce back quickly.
"Anything that goes wrong with a staffer is potentially embarrassing," he said. "It doesn't change the message. It doesn't change the things we stand for. I think we will recovery quickly and move on."
On Wednesday, Paul banked an additional $236,000 for his Senate campaign by using the same type of Internet fundraiser that helped finance his father's presidential race last year.
The money came in a one-day fundraiser that pushed Paul's total contributions to nearly $1.7 million heading into next year's primary election.

When will Ron Paul have an answer to his Neo-Nazi problem?
The latest is that the Anti-Defamation League is asking Ron Paul to distance himself from the Neo-Nazi and White Supremacist groups that have donated and are supporting his candidacy for President.
The Anti-Defamation League plans to ask Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul to distance himself from extremist groups.Paul, a U.S. congressman from Texas, has come under fire for the support his campaign has enjoyed from leading white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.His campaign reportedly has accepted a donation from Don Black, the owner of the white supremacist Web site Stormfront. Sites for several extremist groups also feature prominent links supporting Paul’s candidacy.ADL’s assistant director of civil rights, Steven Freeman, told JTA his organization planned to communicate with Paul privately and urge him to distance himself from those groups.”If he doesn’t do that, then we will decide what we’re going to say publicly about it,” Freeman said.
So far Paul’s campaign has taken the “We Don’t Judge Who Climbs Aboard the Love Train” approach. But, will this fly under increasing criticism outside the blogosphere?
Paul thus far has refused to return the campaign contribution from Black. In response to a question from a reporter for Reason magazine, a campaign spokesperson said, “If people who hold views that the candidate doesn’t agree with, and they give to us, that’s their loss.”The ADL previously has taken candidates to task for their ties to supremacist groups. Last year the organization slammed Larry Darby, a Democratic candidate for attorney general in Alabama, after he attended a meeting of the National Vanguard, a splinter group of the National Alliance. Darby was defeated.
Will the Anti-Defamation League picket Ron Paul events? Will they run their own ads in Iowa and New Hampshire?
Might the Anti-Defamation League picket and demonstrate outside his Texas based Congressional District office? A Texas Congressional District where Ron Paul may be having some trouble ahead should he decide to run for re-election.
Stay tuned……..
