so, Erick Erickson of RedState.com is now officially part of the “AIPAC/Zionist Global Conspiracy”, along with those “secret Jews” named Roosevelt.

You have no idea how wide the net is of believers. I am sure somewhere Queen Elizabeth II is also being blogged as a “secret Jew”.

Ron Paul and segments of his base believe in the 1920′s version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion published by Henry Ford, Senior’s Dearborn Independent as “The International Jew”. The code words from Paulbots are “Federal Reserve – privately owned – by secret foreign bankers”
I wrote a grad school paper on that aspect of Henry Ford Senior in 2005, so when I started hearing the same words from Ron Paul supporters, it was very easy to connect the dots.
It is not about Israel, it is about the most pervasive Lie that Never Dies about the secret one-world Jewish banker conspiracy. As if! When I first read the Protocols (a libelous Tsarist forgery from 1905 based on an 1840′s French satire), I thought the conspirators were the British Empire and JP Morgan, uber-WASP, who all met in a Prague cemetery on a dark and stormy night

As to Iran? A nuclear Iran first and foremost threatens the House of Saud’s rule as the protectors of Mecca and Medina. Iran’s Shi’a theocracy is still fighting the Battle of Karbala, twelve hundred years later, for control over Islam.

While I do believe it necessary to always believe anyone with a military who publicly states they want to annihilate the Jews, because history proves they always mean what they say, a nuclear Iran or proxy would more likely use dirty bombs in Tel Aviv and Haifa while Hezbollah and Hamas rain conventional missiles on north and south Israel.

The Twelver Shi’a want Mecca and Medina in order to prove that Hussein’s martyrdom at Karbala was only a twelve hundred year interruption of the true Islamic Caliphate where laws of man have no place.

If you are reading this Erick, just remember that Jew-hatred has a very long lineage, so if your next encounter is a face-to-face where you are asked to show your horns, hope you will have a Viking helmet handy.

ok, no one has asked me if they could see my horns since 1968- just wanted to insert my deep admiration for anyone of Viking heritage. Erick Erickson would likely pass that test

As for Jews being smart? Well, if you are a 13-year old hormonal boy studying the Talmud for your Bar Mitzvah, you learn that Talmudic Law specifies frequency of sexual relations in marriage, based on the profession of the male husband.
Once you learn that a ditch-digger only gets relations once per month, it certainly helps stimulate a 13-year old boy to become a scholar, unto the thousandth generation…

I am not kidding – Talmudic Law is extremely detailed.

the late August Ron Paul attack on Rick Perry for having once attended the annual Bilderberg conference – which seems to be a casual form of Davos or Aspen Institute, once a year where interesting global leaders and intellectuals have discussions that are not recorded. I kept seeing that ‘Bilderberg Perry’ in Paulbot comment swarms at Commentary’s post on the RJC Forum, so I researched Bilderberg. Perry was invited once and thought it interesting (it was in Istanbul that year), but never got a second invitation. As governor of what is the 13th largest economy in the world, I the invite makes sense.

The reason it is a Paul attack is that it fits in with the One World Global Conspiracy theory that comes from the Protocols. Same attack used to be Trilateral Commission (Bush41 really got hammered with that one).
Trilateral conspiracy was usually tied in with the Rockefellers (secret Jews) run the world.

Glad my earlier comment gave you a laugh – the law I cited is optional, only the number of optional times is mandatory by profession, but it certainly made me realize why Jewish boys at 13 are motivated to aspire to a high level of education.

well, not enough PC buffer to re-enter The Candidate thread, but I was glad to see the Perry livestream in Waterloo tonight.

One theme that is coming up about Ron Paul supporters is that they tend to be extremely tenacious, near fanatic. I doubt that is the real Libertarian base.
I think it is the fringe subsets who see conspiracies everywhere.

But, my brief encounter with some core Obama supporters in 2008 was very scary. Bullying, threatening physical violence – why I stopped using my real name and email anywhere online. Another reason why I think Ron Paul is attracting some of Obama’s base, especially those who bash Israel all the time.

One of the founders of Code Pink is also a co-founder of Free Gaza.
When the second Gaza flotilla was trying to set sail from Greece in 2011, Gov. Rick Perry wrote a letter to AG Holder asking him to enforce the Neutrality Act in the case of the American Gaza flotilla boat, and Holder HAD to stop Bill Ayers’ boat from participating.
