Posted under Election 2008 & NeoCons & Ron Paul
Michael Medved, a truly repugnant person, has hit a new low in his most recent boilerplate smear of Ron Paul. Notice that he uses the typical modus operandi of the Left: let’s insinuate the accusation of “racism,” a charge that was popularized by NeoMarxists (of the Frankfurt School) to undermine Western Civilization. But given the fact that Medved subscribes to what I call the “Bill Kristol School of Patriotism” (let’s (1) spend billions of American dollars to defend the borders of Israel, and (2) simultaneously support the open-borders, third-world invasion of the U.S.), it should be unsurprising that Medved is no champion of preserving Western man and his totemic traditions. Fortunately, the comments below the article reveal that many are not buying this snakeoil salesman’s poison.

Has there been a complete media blackout of the espionage trial of A.I.P.A.C. workers Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman? I was thinking that July 2007 was the scheduled date of the trial, and I can not find any results on this trial…………Is it over?……..Been postponed?………Thrown out of court?

What a pathetic cheap shot! And from such an intellectually pathetic little man. These are the voices of today’s “conservative” movement. This has got to change!

I remember in 2004 that Medved brutally attacked (proverbially, of course) Michael Peroutka for not only running against our glorious leader but for contending that he was not a real conservative. The man has absolutely no shame and his debate tactics are no different than those of the radical left. I have absolutely no respect for the man.

How could Medved argue that Bush is any kind of conservative? That is just not credible.
He needs to go back to movie reviewing and leave conservative punditry to those who are actually conservative.

Exactly what is wrong with being “anti Israel” ? That, to me, is a positive.
Bruce on 29 Oct 2007 at 2:11 pm #
Ron Paul supports the USA. Medved’s first love will always be Israel. Any candidate who pledges to be fair and even-handed in the Middle East will be attacked as anti-semetic by the “chosen ones” who sadly are the real racists !

Medved a B List talk show host. Right now, as RP isrising in the polls, it has become his job to attack him after the bloggers have had little success. The more RP the more you’ll more A list show hosts like Hannity and Limbaugh go after him and the finally the organs of the MSM. Right now Paul’s only at Medved level.
Comic is the only way to describe Medved’s guilt by assocaition attacks.

Today he rambles incoherently about Israel’s right to exist(Good Nation)and Pakistan’s right to exist(Not so good nation)bable, in typical Medved logic……..Before the end of the week, he will be stroking christians and telling them how much they have in comon with Israel’s fight against Islam. He has never waivered on his committment to fight the Arabs to the last dead christian.

This little “Israel First Nazi” and his other sycophants (i.e. Beck, O’Reilly, Ingraham, Hewitt, insanity Hannity, etc.) must have new orders from the top to try another tactic to try and discredit Ron Paul. Remember two or three months ago when six of the national radio talk show sycophants were called to the White House to meet with Bush?
Congressman Paul should throw down a defamation of character lawsuit on this minion! Congressman Paul should also go on this jerk’s show and tell him and American that it isn’t his job or his responsibility to debate or try to destroy any person’s beliefs that may be different than his own if they support him or not. This is “supposed” to be a free country to say and believe what ever we wish too…,right? I agree with Bruce that Ron Paul supports America “First” and so should every American and with David Allyn too “Exactly what is wrong with being “anti Israelâ€?” Our President and Congress should all be for America first and only! Then if anyone wants to send their own money to any other nation that isn’t trying to destroy us for humanitarian efforts, then do it. Just don’t voluntary my money too!
It is fools like this “Israel Nazi” that have destroyed the conservativism in the Republican party and should be exposed as foreign agent moles and lobbyist that they are.

Bede,
So in response to Medved’s request that Paul denounce racists who happen to support him, you all are
1) Calling Medved disloyal to the US
2) calling him a communist and asnake-oil salesman.
Who has lowered the discourse?
Having ones column run by Nazis on a regular basis should be grounds for questioning. Anti-anti-racism squelches free thought too, you know.
David Allyn ,
At least you are honest. Any other country worthy of this contempt?
Bruce,
Define even handed.
Also, if you are going to make a serious point about fairness, try not to make your bias obvious by mocking a Jewish belief, which you likely do not understand.
Texas Rebel,
Using a term like “Israel-First Nazi” takes you out of rational discourse and into the fever swamps of conspiratorial delusion. Nazis wanted to kill all Jews.
When did being “America first” mean hating Israel.
It seems to me that you are displacing universal anger on Israel and Jews.

Ron,
The real question is: why do you still support the Iraq War? Jump on board the Ron Paul bandwagon! If you’re concerned about anti-semitism, such as held by the extreme groups and which is very much on the rise, then consider what has caused it: the Iraq War.
It doesn’t matter that a tiny, insignificant segment backs Paul, especially when they’re readily understandable: oppose globalism, the Iraq War, the Patriot Act, and those they believe are a part of a conspiracy. If it matters, the vast majority of Paul’s supporters are lefties.

RonL,
I know what the word Nazi is universally meant to stand for. That is why I used it is stating that Med-head is a “Israel First Nazi” and he is. Anyone who has a different view of Israel than his, or “some” Jews but not all, or the establishment elites in government, all of the media outlets TV, cable, news papers, magazines, radio, etc., is automatically a racist, or in “conspiratorial delusion”, or dangerous to society in some way. Well just who’s society?
Actually I think people like you are dangerous to American society. You worry about someone not liking you, or saying something that hurts your feelings, or feeling left out of a group, or down right mistreated about something.
If that is how you see this country then put on your big boy panties and understand that not everyone is going to except you or your ideals and have a big cry. People saying words like you are a racist, hate speech, conspiracy theorist, anti-Jew, homo hater, blah, blah, blah doesn’t bother me one inch. I’m sick of hearing it, it doesn’t mean a thing to anyone except the weak spirited individual who has allowed nitwits with your reasoning to conquer their free thinking.
America doesn’t owe Israel, Germany, Japan, Egypt, Africa, Mexico, the world NOTHING! All of these countries and many more are fleas, leaches, and parasites that have been sucking the economic life out of our country since WWI and now Americans are fed up with all of them! We have bought them enough fishing poles & bait to learn how to fish for their selves. Now they can learn how to survive on their own or die…, it’s that simple.
I am for America first, my home and hearth first, my kith & kin first, my blood & soil first. If I want to give “my money” to help people in another country that isn’t trying to hurt Americans I am free to do so and so are you. Now, if that makes me one of those titles mentioned above I will consider it a badge of honor and wear it proudly cowboy.

Ron Paul is not a racialist, but the reason why so many racialists are supporting Ron Paul is a complex phenomenon.
A short answer is: white nationalism is dead. The Iraq war probably killed it. Even Jared Taylor is now calling himself a paleolibertarian.
Many racialists have realized that nationalism has done more harm than good to the white race. Racial integration in the 1950s, for example, was done under the auspices of Cold War foreign policy.
So, the reasoning is that if you drastically scale back the federal government, it will give the white race some breathing room and create some friendly space where it can promote its own interests and foster its own survival.
Weaver on 31 Oct 2007 at 10:54 am #
Government shrinkage and decentralisation is understandable, but Taylor calling himself paleolibertarian is surprising. Legalist nationalism (loyalty to the state) and white nationalism are two different sentiments entirely.
The Iraq War did at least help keep Turkey out of the EU.

I doubt RonL has a problem with Taylor btw; it’s stormfront, david duke, and the 9/11 truthers he’s not a fan of I think.
However, the underlying reason RonL is posting is he’s a fan of the war and thus doesn’t want Paul elected. I dunno whom RonL is backing, probably Hunter, but I doubt he’d mention extremists backing his candidate
RonL, I hope you don’t mind my poking a bit of fun at you.
RonL on 01 Nov 2007 at 5:59 am #
Until I read Lawrence Auster’s reporting on the last Amren conference, I had a much higher opinion of Mr. Taylor.
As for Duke, I have long suspected him to be so incompetent to be an act mean to discredit his movement. He’s Louisiana’s Zhirinovski.
I don’t know of any extremists supporting Hunter, but if I did, I would ask the campaign to denounce them.
Of course there are individual idiots, but that is true in any campaign.
Weaver on 01 Nov 2007 at 10:34 pm #
Haha, Louisiana’s Zhirinovski. The last meeting was in 2006 when Duke crashed?
I accidentally deleted one of your posts that was caught in the filter. The first time I’ve done that…

As a non-interventionist paleo, I am often called an “Anti-semitic #@!&^%”
As a Southerner, I had become imune to the “Race Guilt Trip Verbage”……..My position on the Arab/Israeli fight is no different than it was on the Serbian/Bosnian conflict………..”It’s their problem! They can work it out! And I will be pulling for the Christians, with no hatred for the Jews or the Muslims!”……………………..Call me when we know the winner. And no I wouldn’t even name my dog Woodrow Wilson!
