Failed presidential candidate Ron Paul decided to once again don his tin foil hat and say something dumb — this time about Israel’s invasion of Gaza. Paul calls the invasion a “preemptive war” waged by Israel to “prevent a problem that might come” and “who knows for what other reasons.”

Ron Paul does occasionally say something worthwhile when it comes to economic matters, but when it comes to foreign policy the guy is a f*cking idiot.

Either Ron Paul is just too stupid to understand what’s really going or he’s just pretending to be. Either way, I’m sorry he’s my congressman and I sure as hell didn’t vote for him.

I don’t know what “preemptive” measures Israel has taken against Hamas, but maybe we’re watching two different wars. Israel invaded Gaza to stop Hamas from sending hundreds of rockets into Israeli cities with the purpose of killing or maiming civilians. Hamas wasn’t maybe gonna fire rockets in the future, they had been actively rocketing Israel for months in violation of the Egyptian brokered cease-fire.

Ron Paul is just a bitter old anti-Semite. He’s been on a crusade to end our support for Israel for years.
