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: And lastly, Dondero reveals that Paul wanted to vote against the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 but lacked the courage of his convictions to do so: Ron Paul was opposed to the War in Afghanistan, and to any military reaction to the attacks of 9/11.He engaged in conspiracy theories including perhaps the attacks were coordinated with the CIA, and that the Bush administration might have known about the attacks ahead of time. He expressed no sympathies whatsoever for those who died on 9/11, and pretty much forbade us staffers from engaging in any sort of memorial expressions, or openly asserting pro-military statements in support of the Bush administration.
There is much more information I could give you on the sheer lunacy of his foreign policy views. Let me just concentrate on one in specific. And I will state this with absolute certainty:

You and Eric Dondero have evidence of all of this...correct? Or, do you only have the word of Truther, moonbat, kook, loonytoon Eric Dondero, who was fired?
A majority of Ron Paul's followers are Truthers, why would they follow someone who isn't one of them?
You have evidence of this...right? I mean, you wouldn't just pull something stupid out of your ass and post it on a political forum, would you?
Sure, most RP supporters right here on LP are Truthers. Don't you ever read their comments? And then there's this thingy called Google on the internet, you can find all the evidence you need with it.
BTW, we're on LF, not LP. But while we're on the subject of Truthers, tell me, how is that CT any different than the "They hate us because we're free" CT that you and your neo buddies ascribe to, to justify endless war with any nation that your buddy Obama wants to attack?
Where did I use the They hate us because we're free argument? You have a link to that? No, no you don't because I never said it. What I have said is they hate us because were not Muslims and they want our stuff. And I have documented history, beginning in 7th Century, to back up my argument.
LOL! I guess it could be something that simplistic, especially in the mind of a person such as yourself. But do you think it may just be that Britain and America have been meddling in the internal affairs of that region for more than 50 years? That Britain created those 'states'? That America has been actively engaged in overthrowing democratically elected leaders in those 'states'? Could any of that have anything AT ALL to do with it? Good God man... they hate us because were not Muslims and they want our stuff? LOL!
Bush, Cheney, Halliburton, & Big Oil were meddling w/ the Mohammadans in the year 700 AD?
Bush, Cheney, Halliburton, & Big Oil were meddling w/ the Mohammadans in the year 700 AD? I stated a very specific time period, HQ. You seriously want to punish Muslims for something they did 1400 years ago? What do you want...reparations? LOL! How about we punish the Christians too, for the Crusades? Or do you just want war on Muslims?

Only if some other country fights it for him. 3500 years ago the Hebrews were the most war mongering tribes around. Maybe they need some of that punishmnet for the sins of their fathers he seems to think is okay to inflict on others.
