Title: Ex-Aide Says Ron Paul Is a 9/11 Truther & Isolationist Who Thinks U.S. Shouldn't Have Fought Hitler

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:

    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.

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:

    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:

    Ron Paul was opposed to the War in Afghanistan, and to any military reaction to the attacks of 9/11.

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?

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?

"They hate us because we're free"

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!

Why do the truthers support RP unless they think he's one of them?

Are the truthers just stupid?

I don't know why, because he's stated time and time again what his beliefs are.

It's just much easier for simpletons to grab onto a simple idea like "Ron Paul is a truther" and run with it, than it is to actually look for the truth.

Do you know why?

It could be because of other issues, like ending the Fed and the IRS or the constant endless wars that are bankrupting us.

Do you imagine that there might be truthers who don't support Ron Paul? I'll bet there is! (GASP!!!)

LOL!

Are the truthers just stupid or do they know something about RP that the general public doesn't?

Has RP disavowed the truthers the same way he did the white supremecists?

What does Occam's razor suggest to you?

Is this your latest conspiracy theory?

Has RP disavowed the truthers the same way he did the white supremecists?

RP has stated his beliefs on the issue many times. There is a link to it up thread. I guess you can call it whatever you'd like.

What does Occam's razor suggest to you?

That you'll accept the word of a disgruntled former employee of Ron Paul as positive proof, because it enforces your predetermined beliefs.

No this isn't about me, no matter how hard you try to make it so.

hat you'll accept the word of a disgruntled former employee of Ron Paul as positive proof, because it enforces your predetermined beliefs.

I've seen nothing presented that suggests Dondero is 'disgruntled' as you suggest, in fact your basis for rejecting my objectivity is evidence of your own predetermined beliefs.
