Ron Paul is a racist, anti-semitic piece of shit. I won't even bother providing links to his extreme anti-Israeli and racist points of view, they have been diaried en masse over here.
Ron Paul's supporters are mostly racist pieces of shit also. Even those who have nice things to say on his supposed anti-war position are racist pieces of shit as well. For example, many neo-nazis support RP and agree with his anti-Iraq position:

And when Ron Paul loses the Rethug nomination, we should also go out of our way to tell his supporters to go f*** themselves. Let them vote R or independent. We don't need to forge ties with extreme anti-war groups in order to win the election.
This is why I support Hillary Clinton; she has the courage to not apologize for her Iraq war resolution vote and this makes her the best candidate that the Democrats could nominate. If by some freak chance, Ron Paul wins the Rethug nod, Hillary will kick his ass on national security issues alone. Plus she is better than him on choice, gay rights and many other social issues.
The war on terror is a war against reich-wing Islamic fundamentalism that is the cause of instability in the Middle East. If we can defeat the islamofascists, progressive, pro-Western Muslims will become the dominant political force that will unleash a wave of peaceful democracy that provides rights for women, gays and minorities. This will create the ideal conditions for a final, just peace between Israel and the Muslims.
Ron Paul opposes the war on terror, and that is why he is BATSHIT CRAZY.
