Ron Paul banned from Dec 7 debate!

The Prophet said:
Can you believe this tripe? The Republican Jewish Coalition says his views are too extreme for them. I think this will help Ron Paul, and not hurt them like they want.

There are 50,000 different ways to explain why their actions outrage you, and you picked one of the 5 ways to express those feelings incorrectly! That's impressive! :applaud

Oh for gods sake learn what the ****ing constitution actually says...

Private groups can invite whoever they want. If they don't want Paul, that is 100 % their right and Paul has no room to bitch.
 
And as a Libertarian, surely Dr. Paul would be the very first to say so.
 
For info, the following was the comments of The Executive Director of the RJC, Matthiew Brooks:

As Americans who are committed to a strong and vigorous foreign policy, we are deeply concerned about the prospective presidential campaign of Congressman Ron Paul. While Rep. Paul plans to run as a Republican, his views and past record place him far outside of the Republican mainstream. His candidacy, as we've seen in his past presidential campaigns, will appeal to a very narrow constituency in the U.S. electorate. Throughout his public service, Paul has espoused a dangerous isolationist vision for the U.S. and our role in the world. He has been a virulent and harsh critic of Israel during his tenure in Congress*. Most recently Paul gave an interview in which he voiced his objection to the recent killing of Osama Bin Laden. Brooks added, "We certainly respect Congressman Paul's right to run, but we strongly reject his misguided and extreme views, which are not representative of the Republican Party.

So piss off a large portion of the Jewish community with your actions, don't be surprised when they do not give you a platform to espouse your views.

so one has to bow down to a certain little country in the eastern Mediteranean in order to please the folks at the RJC?

that's not very fair..or American.
 
So...they want to have a political debate, and are inviting all the other candidates, even the no names...but leaving out Paul, because they, personally, don't like his views?




Nice. Right up there with our major media not allowing 3rd party candidates in their nationally televised debates. Even Mexico has a better track record than we do, it seems....
 
I personally don't think anyone should be excluded from debates either, but I doubt blaming the Jews and their "love for money and banks" is a great way to go about it.

It is well within their rights. Would an anti-abortion group have to invite pro abortion rights candidate to speak at their event?

well, you seem to be suggesting that the Republican Jewish Coalition might as well change its name to the Republican pro-Israel Committee. if that were the case, their non-inclusion of RP might make sense.

and frankly, I don't believe RP has said anything that bad about Israel.

Good question.

Do I have the right as the host to choose who I invite to my party?

yes, but this isn't a party. its a Presidential debate.

it would be one thing if RP was notorious for making anti-Semitic remarks, like the one in the OP.

but he's not.

Why? That is only one part of what they are about.

RJC - Republican Jewish Coalition

RJC Basic Principles National Security - the first responsibility of government
Without national security, every other debate is meaningless. Once freedom and democracy are gone, you have lost your vote - for/against abortion, for/against taxes, for/against healthcare, or any other topic.
America is the only democracy powerful enough to overcome the evil, enslavement and human rights abuses fostered by dictators, autocrats and other repressive regimes. Only America can and must lead the world in standing for the cause of freedom and democracy. The likely outcome of an America not intervening would be darkness overcoming light. Keeping the world free and safe for democracy is critical to our ability to be free citizens of our own country.
Imagine a world without American strength - what would it be? All of Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa could be under Nazi or Communist rule. America would be alone and the rest of the world would be in darkness.
It’s not enough to have a strong military to protect our own borders; our national security also relies on us actively combating the forces of evil in the world.

That is the very first item on their platform. Now which candidate represents the exact opposite? This is what happens when we research before popping off, we are actually educated on what we are talking about.

I think it's wrong for them exclude Paul.

But your antisemitic comments are totally inappropriate.

No, it's the Republican Jewish Coalition. Believe it or not, there are Conservative Jews too. In addition, I am insulted by the OP's reference to Jews and banks. This is what Adolf Hitler used to say too.

NOTE: I still believe the GOP should have invited Ron Paul, and then, during the debate, question him on his views. I do not believe that Paul is an anti-Semite. He does not want us to send our money to Israel any more than he wants us to send it to Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Wow, hold a debate and only invite one side of the discussion while misrepresenting the views of the other side as an excuse?

What a waste of time. Idiots.

Anti-Semetic? You sure like to toss labels around guy. Actually, the Palestinians are a Semetic race, so it is the Jews who are the real anti-semites, and of course, people who they hate.
