Ron Paul’s Non-Existent Jewish-Anarchist Problem…

I was going to write something about this post over at Jewcy’s new politics blog (splendidly named The Cabal) but when I saw that the author describes himself as a “libertarian socialist*” it seemed rather pointless to continue. How much headway can you make with someone as confused as that?

Suffice it to say that “Ron Paul’s Jewish problem” amounts to some of his supporters having highly unpleasant views and his campaign’s suspicion that there’s no real need to return money given by racist supporters. In a saner world that would be quite sensible: it’s their loss of cash after all and accepting money from someone is no sort of endorsement of their views on any given issue. Indeed, given his track record in Congress I suspect there are few members less likely to have their opinions or votes influenced by campaign contributions.
