During the fighting in Gaza in January 2009, Ron Paul gave an interview to Press TV. Here it is.
Ron Paul is certainly entitled to his views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At the same time, I think he showed enormously bad judgement in criticizing US policy to Press TV, which is the English-language propaganda arm of the Iranian regime. Based in London, it employs such odious figures as Yvonne Ridley and George Galloway. It has become clear that Ron Paul-given his defense of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons- is an apologist for this regime.
Hopefully, someone in Iowa will see this video in the next few days and keep it in mind.
It makes you wonder if someone so incredibly mistaken in one area can be thoughtful in other areas. This is not a casual or minor issue. His domestic policies are compromised by his foreign policy misconceptions.
ReplyDeleteHis dedicated Libertarian base always gives him good poll numbers but I doubt that he will get that many actual votes.
