The hit pieces keep on coming.





A former congressional aide to Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) has written a piece slamming the presidential hopeful's foreign-policy views, calling them "pure lunacy" in an online post on the conservative website Rightwingnews.com.


The long piece by former aide Eric Dondero alleges awkward treatment by Paul of gays and Jews, but saves its strongest criticisms for his policy positions.


"It’s his foreign policy that’s the problem; not so much some stupid and whacky things on race and gays he may have said or written in the past," he writes.








Dondero writes that Paul does not believe Israel should exist, that the United States should not have gotten involved in World War II, that the government might have known beforehand about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and that he planned to vote against the war in Afghanistan before changing his mind for political reasons.

Paul's campaign pushed back strongly in an email circulated to reporters. Paul campaign manager Jesse Benton described Dondero as "a disgruntled former staffer who was fired for performance issues. He has zero credibility and should not be taken seriously."


But the piece is getting widely circulated on conservative blogs and websites and could pose a challenge to Paul's campaign as it seeks to win Iowa's Jan. 3 caucuses.


Some of the charges from the website:


• "He wishes the Israeli state did not exist at all. He expressed this to me numerous times in our private conversations. His view is that Israel is more trouble than it is worth, specifically to the American taxpayer. He sides with the Palestinians, and supports their calls for the abolishment of the Jewish state, and the return of Israel, all of it, to the Arabs."


• "Is Ron Paul a homo-phobe [sic]? Well, yes and no. He is not all bigoted towards homosexuals. He supports their rights to do whatever they please in their private lives. He is however, personally uncomfortable around homosexuals, no different from a lot of older folks of his era."


• "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 [sic] brings up conspiracy theories like FDR knew about the attacks of Pearl Harbor weeks before hand [sic], or that WWII was just 'blowback,' for Woodrow Wilson’s foreign policy errors, and such."


• "Ron Paul was opposed to the War in Afghanistan, and to any military reaction to the attacks of 9/11. He did not want to vote for the resolution. He immediately stated to us staffers, me in particular, that Bush/Cheney were going to use the attacks as a precursor for 'invading' Iraq. 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."

At least they come up with something new.

If all that was true it would only want me to more vote for him.... the old does not work, let's try something new.

[AngelBee]

This isn't new, he been saying this since the last election. He the only former aide to say something like this, it's a classic hit job.

This stooge was just on The Lou Dobbs show, Lou was not the host today. Anyhow after hearing the smear job I called in and made it past the screener. I said that I loved Ron Paul's domestic issues but disagreed with him on Israeli issues. After I got on the air I tried taking off some of the heat about Dr. Paul being a truther by saying all the comments his guest mentioned were during the first few days after 9/11. Then I spun it around on the zionist by stating how Ron Paul should have pointed out that Newt put himself in a position to be blackmailed a few debates ago by saying he would attack Iran with conventional weapons, rather than have Israel attack Iran with nukes.

After that I got cut off without a goodbye?

Funny stuff.

If you wanted to freak out every liberal [Jew] voter in the country, you couldn't do better than this hit piece - it's like mana to the paranoid Jew. It's just too perfect an anti-Jew anti-Israel propaganda piece to be legit. And the highlights in red do not pass the smell test - not by a country mile: does this sound like Ron Paul, censoring what people can and can't say and do so emphatically and in such fine detail? "Me in particular?" This guy sounds like a loon.

I've been following the zionist snooze like a freak today, and everything you've listed has been the propaganda 'verbatim' of the day!

The Minister must be proud.

[chipkluchi]

So, he's saying Ron Paul immediately after 9/11 predicted Bush would use it to invade Iraq? And that's exactly what happened. So that kooky Ron Paul keeps being right about everything, while the people who were wrong about everything call him nuts.

Even J6P is going to figure this one out.

[Thigmaswams]

This isn't new, he been saying this since the last election. He the only former aide to say something like this, it's a classic hit job.

One has to wonder how much his payday was.

[indentKew]

You will see more and more turned coats for the "Jews" the more votes that Ron Paul gets........

"When the truth comes into the light, the lies will hide in the dark"... Ponce

[masterboyz]

There is a bit of hope.

People on Lou Dobbs Facebook page see through the ruse.
