I’m sure Mr. Paul would not appreciate both the tone of the response, or the imagery. Both are unnecessary.

Not to be too bland, but in the State of California, Ron has the oversight responsibility for the Republican Party (period). Those in Republican efforts need to work with, not against the leadership.

While I applaud your desire to make a positive change Kathy, the obstinate attitude of “Ron Paul or the Highway” is just too ineffective an approach.

Actually, it’s distasteful and unappealing, as any blind cultish type following would be.

Ron Paul staunchly defended Mitt Romney’s right to chose his religion and leave it out of the politics during the primaries and I applaud him for it.

There is nothing “anti-semitic” about criticizing Israel, just because some take it too far (as is their right of free speech) doesn’t mean you can call Ron Paul supporter’s anti-semites. Israel is a nation with good guys and bad guys like anywhere else; anyone who has illusions that there is some kind of head to cut off the “Big Brother” dragon is sadly mistaken.

I support Ron Paul regardless if others support him that I disagree with.

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”
-John Quincy Adams

There are legitimate objections to U.S. aid to Israel, but the amount is trivial (< 1%) compared to the $trillions in Obama’s “Stimulus” plan. Anyone who claims that as a top “fiscal” priority obviously has a hidden agenda, and not one that Republicans (or Tea Partyers) should touch with the proverbial 10-foot pole.

And comments like them…

The truth is, Even Ron Paul was called anti-Semite in his campaign and then mainstream media even called him racist bringing up quotes from old unaffiliated newsletters, associating him with john birch societies, saying he was a extreme leftist/liberal pretending to be Republican… And most recently his followers are now extreme right wing racists…. It changes like the weather and there is ALWAYS a smear campaign. Of course they will grab these things and use them to their advantage instead of looking at the message which is unfortunate…. However its best not to buy into the media “hype” and pretend that this is the end of the world and everyone looks anti-Semite… this is nothing new! I even seen Ron Paul associated with UFO watchers! haha.

Its the media, its always that way, sometimes there are “individuals” who make mistakes, and just because the media finds that one mistake and publicizes it to be used for their own agenda, doesnt mean we have to be so stuck up, high and mighty, or whatever else term you wish to use and pretend we are better than them.

The fact is, they handled this even better than Ron Paul handled his accusations of being Racist… there was a clear letter, with a action taken to fix the problem, clarification, and condemnation of the message… what else do you want, a public stoning?

I mean its ridiculous how these people are so unforgiving of a simple graphic even after it was completely dealt with appropriately… Its nothing more than barber shop b-tching in my opinion…

This is just another attempt and divide and conquer, its just unfortunate that so many people still fall for it… attacking whenever they have the chance. The media slants the entire thing to anti-Semite, and in others areas it was viewed as racist, anti-obama, anti liberal or democrat etc. etc. The media makes everyone look like a bunch of idiots… and then what do the people do? they attack those who were helping put on the protest, and let the media get away with it scott free.

People really need to realize who their enemy is… its fine to disagree and condemn the action, but to not accept the apology, actions to resolve it, and even condemning of the image, is just an example of your “intolerance” which is not unlike that of an “anti-Semite” whose mentality you are angered by.

I think people are way too quick to jump on the anti-Semite bandwagon, as if its a cool thing to do… and as though they support the media 100% in their spin… As if the one graphic is representative of an entire meetup group full of individuals… just stupid SPIN and its sad to see so many fall for it… The graphic was removed, it was a picture, there was an apology, you are all intolerant and I guess you all should start casting the first stone.

but thats just my opinion.
