Eric Dondero on Ron Paul's Character

Liberty -vs- Tyranny

I feel vindicated. My support for, and advocacy of Ron Paul for the republican nomination for the Presidency of the United States of America has just received the best possible endorsement. That is for those that are truly libertarian and of the limited constitutional government mindset.

Given the testimony of Eric Dondero, Publisher and Editor in Chief of the Libertarian Republican blog it is clear Ron Paul is indeed not racist or a anti Semite. Perhaps all the hoopla created by the MSM {aka: LSM (Lame Stream Media} can now be put to bed once and for all.

Excerpt from Right Wing News:

I have been asked by various media the last few days for my comments, view of the current situation regarding my former boss Ron Paul, as he runs for the presidency on the Republican ticket.

I’ve noticed in some media that my words have been twisted and used for an agenda from both sides. And I wish to set the record straight with media that I trust and know will get the story right: conservative/libertarian-conservative bloggers.

Is Ron Paul a “racist.” In short, No. I worked for the man for 12 years, pretty consistently. I never heard a racist word expressed towards Blacks or Jews come out of his mouth. Not once. And understand, I was his close personal assistant. It’s safe to say that I was with him on the campaign trail more than any other individual, whether it be traveling to Fairbanks, Alaska or Boston, Massachusetts in the presidential race, or across the congressional district to San Antonio or Corpus Christi, Texas.

He has frequently hired blacks for his office staff, starting as early as 1988 for the Libertarian campaign. He has also hired many Hispanics, including his current District staffer Dianna Gilbert-Kile.

One caveat: He is what I would describe as “out of touch,” with both Hispanic and Black culture. Ron is far from being the hippest guy around. He is completely clueless when it comes to Hispanic and Black culture, particularly Mexican-American culture. And he is most certainly intolerant of Spanish and those who speak strictly Spanish in his presence, (as are a number of Americans, nothing out of the ordinary here.)

Is Ron Paul an Anti-Semite? Absolutely No. As a Jew, (half on my mother’s side), I can categorically say that I never heard anything out of his mouth, in hundreds of speeches I listened too over the years, or in my personal presence that could be called, “Anti-Semite.” No slurs. No derogatory remarks. {Continue Reading}

For those who understand limited constitutional government and the real meaning of freedom and liberty not much else need be said. Ron Paul will certainly be your horse in the race to the Presidency.

Unfortunately Mr. Dondero goes on in the balance of his article to do everything he can to undermine the only true conservative/libertarian candidate remaining in race. Very likely the only republican candidate that can beat President Obama.

Mr. Dondero, a savvy political pundit is marketing his extreme distrust and resultant fear of all Muslims to cast doubt on Rep. Paul's fidelity to America and her founding principles. Perhaps this is because Mr. Dondero fails to understand the classical liberalism upon which this nation was founded.

I mean no disrespect to Mr. Dondero, nor do I question his love of country. But when a self proclaimed conservative/libertarian does not land on the side of the only constitutionally limited government and liberty candidate something is fishy in Denmark. Especially when all the other republican candidates are big government pro military industrial complex statists.

Please read Eric's entire article. Then refresh your knowledge of Ron Paul's record and the principles on which he stands. Perhaps Mr. Dondero's view of the same is severely biased as a direct result of his demonstrated distrust, bordering on hatred, for Muslims in general. A distrust of extreme Islamic ideology is justified. Not all Muslim's are extremists.
