From Right Wing News: Statement from ex-Ron Paul staffer on newsletters, anti-semitism

Thank you for your service!

A former senior aide to Ron Paul, Eric Dondero, writes in Right Wing News about the man he for whom he worked for over a decade. This will not be received well by supporters of the Texas congressman.

Is Ron Paul an anti-Semite? No, Dondero says. However...

Ron Paul is most assuredly an isolationist. He denies this charge vociferously. But I can tell you straight out, I had countless arguments/discussions with him over his personal views. For example, 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. When pressed, he often times brings up conspiracy theories like FDR knew about the attacks of Pearl Harbor weeks before hand, or that WWII was just "blowback," for Woodrow Wilson’s foreign policy errors, and such.

If we can't fight such wickedness--and remember, Germany declared war on us, it was not the other way around--then why fight at all?

Troubling, very troubling....although the Paul campaign will denounce or ignore this story.
