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:

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.
You got a link to that? LOL!

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!

He used to called himself Eric Rittberg. No one quite knows what his real last name is. A.) He is a supporter of endless wars in the Middle East (he's half Jewish) B.) He wanted Ron Paul to support the Iraq war C.) He became a disgruntled ex-employee when Ron Paul fired him for insubordination over the Iraq war D.) He tried to run against Paul for Congress and lost badly E.) He has been obsessed with trashing Paul since he was fired
Maps, 1300 years of documented history, logic, reason, commonsense, nothing penetrates the Kool-Aid hardened heads of True Believers.
Why do the truthers support RP unless they think he's one of them? Are the truthers just stupid?
The dirty ebul Jooz are behind the RP attacks, nothing he has said or done has anything to do with why people think he a Truther. That explains it. /sarc
And many more. I know that if China or any other nation had been meddling in America's internal affairs, setting up countless military bases and putting thousands of armed soldiers on our streets, killing civilians, bombing St. Louis, Canton Ohio and Ft. Lauderdale, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, and placing puppet governments in charge of America, I'd be pretty damned pissed myself. I'd wager that HQ would be right there fighting along side me too. Yet he cannot see that other nations might get pissed when we do it? It's ridiculous!

Attacking the messenger doesn't change or refute the message.
If they weren't they wouldn't be Troofers.
Bush, Cheney, Halliburton, & Big Oil were meddling w/ the Mohammadans in the year 700 AD?
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!

In this case, it's as good as any other evidence. You want it left out of the discussion that Eric Dondero was fired by Ron Paul? Oh you guys are funny!

Sounds like you've swallowed the 'equivalence of cultures' kool-aid that the left has been serving up for a generation at our colleges and universities.
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?

Does that mean that the Original True Believers are just gluttons for punishment for settling in a region with such an untoward history?

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.

It doesn't change the fact that Dondero was with RP for fifteen years, and certainly has insights into the 'early RP' as opposed to camoflauged RP running for office today.
Sounds like you've swallowed the 'equivalence of cultures' kool-aid that the left has been serving up for a generation at our colleges and universities. Oh please! Have we been doing those things in the middle east or haven't we? Yes or no? The only thing I've swallowed is the truth, and believe me, it was hard pill to swallow, but it is what it is. If you think we're right all the time, just because we're America, then there's a term for that.

It also doesn't change the fact that Dondero could be pulling whatever he says out of his ass. Were you there? Were you an eyewitness to these things? If the answer is no, then you also have only the word of a disgruntled former employee. Is that considered evidence beyond a reasonable doubt?

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.

Dondero makes a credible witness to the inner workings of the RP phenomena. He was there for fifteen years as an insider. I think the notion that a 'reasonable doubt' standard needs to be applied is evidence of a 'persecution complex' on your part as it applies to Ron Paul.
LMFAO!!! Wow! I have a persecution complex? Dondero makes a credible witness I'm sorry, but what were you saying above? Does the term innocent until proven guilty mean anything to you? Here-say is just that, my friend. Yet you've already convicted upon it. And you claim that I have a persecution complex? WoW! LOL!

The Paul campaign needs to address the questions raised by Dondero, not attack him personally. Likewise, your attempt at winning a quick aquittal for RP by challenging my objectivity are failing.
Attack him personally? Show me. I've not seen the Paul campaign even address Dondero. And why should they? Should they address every crackpot who makes an allegation? Should they address Mad Dog because he said that Paul wants to "do away with the US Armed Forces" too? Likewise, your attempt at winning a quick aquittal for RP by challenging my objectivity are failing. I'm sure that in your mind, I have failed miserably. Because Paul is already guilty. Right? But I have a 'persecution complex'? LOL!

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.
or maybe they just want their stuff back.
Economics is a social phenomenon and in no way a “science”, no matter how desperately its high priests would like to have it believed otherwise. It is, instead, a branch of anthropology and the sooner that is recognized and accepted, the better off human-kind in general and the world of academic economics, in particular, shall be proximity1 We probably will see widespread civil disorder in the 1980s, as a direct result of our faltering economic system. Ron Paul
What stuff would that be?
So what?
If Mad Dog were part of the RP inner circle for fifteen years, then I say yes. Ultimately, the Paul campaign will have to address these allegations as they are quickly becoming a part of the daily news cycle and reasonable people are going to want answers. I'm not sure telling the general public to do their homework is an effective campaign strategy for RP going forward.
In Iran it was oil. In Palestine, it's land.

Sure it is. It's funny how you guys always protect your own. You only wish that RP would also have a bevy of girlfriends coming out of the woodwork as the topping on the cake.

Beyond reasonable doubt is a standard reserved for criminal proceedings. That you would raise it preemptively in response to Dondero's comments suggests a certain level of defensveness I attribute to the persecution complex...YMMV.
He works for Paul for 15 years and you don't hear a word from or about him. He gets fired and he makes allegations that he cannot prove one way or the other, just as Paul is running for president? Seriously? Is this your latest conspiracy theory? No this isn't about me, no matter how hard you try to make it so. Hey, YOU asked the question, "do they know something about RP that the general public doesn't?" THAT is a whacky conspiracy theory, suggested BY YOU. Don't get your feelings hurt cause I pointed out the FACT that you're floating whacky CT's.

No, they don't. But I thought you said they did, and attacked him personally?
