Opinion Piece Hammers Ron Paul as One of “the Best-Known of our Homegrown Propagandists for our Chief Enemies in the World”

In the Wall Street Journal today, Dorothy Rabinowitz has an editorial that hammers Ron Paul for what she describes as his consistent history of being one of “the best-known of our homegrown propagandists for our chief enemies in the world.” She gives one example after another of Paul’s statements essentially blaming the United States for the September 11 attacks:

WALL STREET JOURNAL – Dorothy Rabinowitz: Ron Paul’s supporters are sure of one thing: Their candidate has always been consistent—a point Dr. Paul himself has been making with increasing frequency.

One cable commentator genially instructed us last Friday, “You have to give Paul credit for sticking to his beliefs.”

He was speaking, it’s hardly necessary to say, of a man who holds some noteworthy views in a candidate for the presidency of the United States.

One who has made himself a leading spokesman for, and recycler of, the long and familiar litany of charges that point to the United States as a leading agent of evil and injustice, the militarist victimizer of millions who want only to live in peace.

My guess is that this has very little impact on Ron Paul’s standing in Iowa. His supporters there seem committed to him, without regard, or perhaps because of his Foreign Policy views. Paul seems on track to win in Iowa, and the caucus system will assist in that outcome greatly.
