If Dr Paul has ever said that Mericans are hypnotized by the Jews, or are bought by the Jwws, or questioning Jewish Americans loyalty, please point me in that direction.
But this thread is about our current Congress. And I assume you have nothing to add here because (D)
You mentioned Ron Paul first.
I’ve addressed Omar and the larger controversy quite a few times now, and more substantively than you’ve ever addressed Ron Paul’s truly weird and nasty white supremacist and anti-Semitic associations. Right, right, 40 years with a mic in his face, etc. He didn’t write the newsletters.
Here’s the thing. It doesn’t matter if he wrote them or not. Let’s say he had zero responsibility for writing them. He was content to turn a buck for nearly two decades on stuff that was noxiously racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, etc. He bought mailing lists from white supremacist and anti-Semitic organizations. Regardless of the authorship—and that’s being generous—that in itself is pretty racist. Which is why I note again that you equivocate and dismiss and make excuses for him, and adhere to a peculiar definition of x-ism that declares that you can only be x-ist based on your words, not your actions.
As for Omar, I’ll repeat: her 2012 tweet about Israel hypnotizing the world is icky. I’m sensitive to objections made in good faith to her current tweets about Israel, and cognizant that what she’s actually said has been widely misrepresented, including by you. The stuff about the boycott bill was not directed at Jewish people, but at supporters of the legislation and similar measures, the vast majority of whom are evangelical Christians, whose eschatological fascination with Israel I find creepy, btw. I don’t blame people who felt like they skirted or crossed a line. I also don’t think most of the criticism from the right is being made in good faith.
