Bill O‘Reilly Blasts Ron Paul’s Stance on Iran: ‘His Foreign Policy Disqualifies Him’

There’s no doubt that Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has his fans — and his foes.
It is the Texas congressman’s stances on international affairs and national security that often create angst or support (depending on individual opinions on the matter) among members of the electorate.
Paul‘s foreign policy views have led Fox News host Bill O’Reilly to claim that the presidential contender isn’t qualified to assume the American presidency. This morning, O‘Reilly appeared on NBC’s Today Show to chat about his new book “Killing Lincoln” and to share his take on the GOP field. When asked to comment on Paul, he held little back.
(Related: Rush Limbaugh Blasts Ron Paul for His Stance on Iran)
“His foreign policy disqualifies him in my eyes as an American — not as a journalist,” O’Reilly said. “I don’t think we need another Neville Chamberlain with Iran. So, he wants to be friends with Iran, that’s swell.”
Watch O’Reilly discuss Paul, among other candidates, below (his comments on Paul are at 4:19):
Arthur Neville Chamberlain, of course, was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1937 until 1940. He was known for his appeasement in addressing foreign policy issues. BBC offers up a little of the history behind Champerlain’s appeasement:
Like many in Britain who had lived through World War One, Chamberlain was determined to avert another war. His policy of appeasement towards Adolf Hitler culminated in the Munich Agreement in which Britain and France accepted that the Czech region of the Sudetenland should be ceded to Germany.
Chamberlain left Munich believing that by appeasing Hitler he had assured ‘peace for our time’. However, in March 1939 Hitler annexed the rest of the Czech lands of Bohemia and Moravia, with Slovakia becoming a puppet state of Germany. Five months later in September 1939 Hitler’s forces invaded Poland. Chamberlain responded with a British declaration of war on Germany.
The comparison, though uttered with an appropriate tone and delivery, is certainly not a compliment.

Posted on December 19, 2011 at 12:14pmRon Paul‘s foreign policy of appeasement towards Iran can very well be compared to the appeasement of Hitler by Arthur Neville Chamberlain who was the Prime Minister of Britain in the late 30’s. ABSOLUTELY, O’Reilly has it right there. I love MOST of what Paul stands for and that’s SMALL GOVERNMENT. But man, his views of the world, especially Iran and the Middle East in general should scare the hell out of every American. And that‘s why he’ll NEVER be President of the United States of America…………..

Posted on December 19, 2011 at 12:15pmI wish O’Reilly would let Dr. Paul speak (instead of interrupting and bullying) I’d like to hear them discuss this:
The CIA was responsible for creating Al Qaeda:
Al Qaeda was created by the CIA, in their offices in Washington D.C., According to Richard Clark in his most recent book. It was created for Saudi Arabia to bankroll Osama bin Laden, through the House of Saud, “in the Afghan war against the Soviet Union during the 1980′s and Riyadh and Washington together contributed an estimated $3.5 billion to the mujahideen.”
“In late 2003, U.S. News & World Report conducted an exhaustive study titled. ‘The Saudi Connection.’ Its findings included the following.”
“The evidence was indisputable: Saudi Arabia, America‘s longtime ally and the world’s largest oil producer, had somehow become, as a senior Treasury Department official put it, ‘the epicenter’ of terrorist financing’.
http://www.rense.com/general61/myths.htm
Let us not forget that it was Israel, which in fact created Hamas. According to Zeev Sternell, historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, “Israel thought that it was a smart ploy to push the Islamists against the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO)”.

Of course they don’t call it that. But if you posit that the fundamental beliefs of a billion people are fatal to your own culture, nation, and the lives of your children, what you are really saying is that they must be exterminated. And that is what most presidential candidates are saying. Muslims want to destroy us so we must destroy them. The demagogues may or may not actually believe what they are saying. I suspect they don’t believe much of anything. But it doesn’t matter because America is lining up to take part in the slaughter.
This is why the coming economic collapse is good news! They won’t have any money with which to wage their holy war of world destruction.

The Vietnam war could have been over before it started – with a week of demonstrated air power if someone other than Lyndon Johnson was President.
Paul said paraphrasing, “If we have to have a war, get to it, win, and bring the troops back home.”
There is another view that I have not seen Paul express. The reason we are in wars – in almost every case I can think of, is because the predators think we will not fight. The wars that happen are because they push too far and miscalculate what they can “get away with.” There were no wars beginning when either Eisenhower or Reagan were President because the predators KNEW we would respond.
If we minded our own business, as Dr. Paul suggests, and if we responded vigorously to a threat to our safety, we would be safer than we are now.
I think Bill O. has not thought this through.

The constant meddling in the affairs of other countries and playing world policeman is exactly why we got 9/11. The US overthrew the democratically elected president of Iran in 1953 and installed the Shah to help us oppose the USSR. The Shah was horrendous and lead to the Islamic Revolution in 1979. The US supported Saddam. The US armed and supported the Taliban. The US supports the corrupt Saudis. The US supported Mubarak. The US is now assassinating Iranian scientists and sending in spy drones. If China or Russia was bombing the US and killing civilians and occupying the USA, how do you think Americans would react? We would fight tooth and nail to expel the invaders. According to US foreign policy, other countries are just supposed to get invaded & bombed and be happy we are liberating them. US foreign policy is bankrupting the country and only making more enemies. We have to stop the madness. The neocons are pushing for another war with Iran. How is Iran threatening the US?

Iran, technically, is at war with the U.S. already. Economic warfare is usually a function of traditional militaristic “kill and break” warfare.
In this case the LAST thing Iran wants is to have is the U.S. bombing infrastructure it requires to complete its nuclear ambitions. Thus, a “soft” war of economics is in full swing.

Although this is certainly not a reflection of America, we now routinely see Paul supporters out numbering others on the Blaze 5-10 to 1. They certainly can no longer say that we are the fringe. I for one voted for Huckabee during the last election and reluctantly McCain after he chose Palin. I did‘t even consider Paul during the last election but this time around he’s the only one that I will consider.

Not to speak is to speak and I didn’t speak for a long time so I have a bunch to make up for.
Your witness is not ruined at all. Just remember presentation is everything.
What bothers me is so many run around saying “TEA” and then support candidates that will spend and tax them into oblivion. That is absolutely insane. I am an active TEA Party member and the TEA group I associate with believe the TEA movement has been hijacked.
TEA could never support Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, or Bachmann as they all are for foreign aid (world redistribution of wealth, spending) and intervention (military spending) which results in higher taxes on US citizens. No honest sane TEA Party member could support any of those. It is directly opposite of what TEA means!
So the TEA Party will decide if they are still a movement or just an insane thought in this next election. If we nominate another spend happy candidate, the TEA Party is officially hijacked and should be deemed insane.
Keep getting the word out about Ron Paul. We are the ones the NDAA bill was passed to silence. The ones standing for the Constituion are the ones they call terrorists. Terrorists to their world society.

Posted on December 19, 2011 at 4:10pmAny noeconservative that supports provoking war with Iran is out of his mind. What do they possibly expect to happen that would be a benefit for America? Iran is a nation that is over TWICE THE SIZE OF TEXAS and it’s the 20th largest economy in the world (by purchasing power parity). A war with Iran would cripple our economy because it would disrupt the oil flow out of the Persian Gulf. Many nations, including Russia and China, have vital strategic and economic interests in Iran. We very well could provoke a large scale regional war.
Though we could win a war with Iran, why would it even be worth the costs, especially if we initiate it? We’d create enemies with 75 million Iranians, not to mention many others in the region. It would encourage more radicalism and the costs in blood and treasure would be tremendous. And for what? Because we think they might possibly create a nuclear weapon even though we have no definite proof that they have the capabilities or the goals of doing so? Who in their right mind thinks that’s a good idea?

“The United (strike that, DIVIDED) States of America as an ally to Israel presently will accomplish the prophecy either by someone like Obama who says one thing and does the opposite, alienating and straining Israeli ties while propping up muslim nations and bowing to them and the U.N., at the same time putting down the America, or by someone like Ron Paul who will sever all ties with Israel as a kind of Battle cry for his ‘Independant’ stance.”
A Ron Paul presidency would actually be better for Israel, because we have been tying the hands of Israel for a long time. Our so-called “support” for Israel means that they have made themselves beholden to the US.

You’re analogy about thinking your neighbor is going to kill you so you kill him first is a little misleading so I thought I would modify it to see if I could make it more accurate.
In this new improved analogy (NIA), the neighbor (Iran) has personally threatened you, thrown bombs over the fence, payed the local gang members to attack you, called the media and anyone else who would listen to tell them that he’s going to go get the biggest rifle he can and use it against you. No one would sell him an actual gun but he‘s admitted to buying all the right parts and tells everyone he’s working tirelessly to finish building it so he can use it and wipe you off the face of the planet. He‘s also a religious fanatic and believes that by destroying you he’ll somehow be ushering in a world wide utopia. And none of these facts are really in question, with mountains of evidence for each (as if evidence were needed when the neighbor gleefully admits to all of it).

If war is declared, carpet bomb all political and military centers, after all you only put feet on the ground if you want to protect something (people, land, resources). Rather than believe that the foreign policy of nothing or everything, war or no war, is weak and gives benefit to our enemies, lets consider a reality where congress actually does its job and declares war when a country posses a real direct threat and won’t back down even when addressed through peaceful, democratic means. Let’s pretend for just three days the United States was allowed to go ALL OUT on our enemies. The following morning the only issue would be who gets the, now slightly damaged and unclaimed, territory and resources. Under this potential the policy goes from not being unpopular for being weak and catering to our enemies, to being brutal, bloody, and against the moral sensibilities of our population today.

“One of the most traumatic events in German history occurred soon after Hitler took office. On February 27, 1933, in what easily could be termed the 9/11 terrorist attack of that time, German terrorists fire-bombed the German parliament building. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Adolf Hitler, one of the strongest political leaders in history, would declare war on terrorism and ask the German parliament (the Reichstag) to give him temporary emergency powers to fight the terrorists. Passionately claiming that such powers were necessary to protect the freedom and well-being of the German people, Hitler persuaded the German legislators to give him the emergency powers he needed to confront the terrorist crisis. What became known as the Enabling Act allowed Hitler to suspend civil liberties “temporarily,” that is, until the crisis had passed. Not surprisingly, however, the threat of terrorism never subsided and Hitler’s “temporary” emergency powers, which were periodically renewed by the Reichstag, were still in effect when he took his own life some 12 years later.”

Should we bring our troops home? Perhaps. But if we do we shouldn’t turn our backs. Ron Paul doesn’t think a nuclear Iran is a threat.

Posted on December 19, 2011 at 12:36pmPaul is going to lose for three simple reasons. First, his policies and priorities aren’t shared by most other people. His economic policies to a certain degree resonate with Republican voters. If we were just electing a president based on economics, We (I) would give him a slight chance. But we’re not. A presidential campaign is about emotions concerning a lot of different things. If Paul ends up being seen as a serious candidate (which I don’t believe will happen except in Iowa), he will be pummeled with his previous stances on military policy, foreign policy and social issues all… leftist and Liberal. His views are wayyy far out of step with Republican primary voters. That in itself will be enough to kill his chances of winning.
Second, the media (like O’Reilly… very large audience btw) doesn’t believe that Paul has a chance, so he’s not going to get especially favorable coverage. Nothing about him plays into any of the sort of story lines that media like to tell, but they WILL hone in on the goofy and let’s face it… dangerous parts of the Paul nutty idea assembly plant.
Third, even if one could get past the fact that Paul’s positions radically diverging from those of Republican primary voters and even if Paul could convince the media to treat him as one of the top candidates, there’s one issue that will destroy him… his position regarding the war on drugs plain and simple.

I have no need to protect Ron. I do have the responsibility to tell the truth and I hope one day you learn to do so as well.
It’s amazing how non Ron Paul supporters turn to psychotic zombies and try to lie about his views, where they align with the Constitution, and falsely label him.

Posted on December 19, 2011 at 12:11pmIf Iran hates Jews, why haven’t they killed the ones living in Iran?
25,000 Jews live in Iran. It’s the largest Jewish population in the Middle East outside of Israel. Iranian Jews are not persecuted or abused by the state, in fact, they are protected under Iran’s constitution. They are free to practice their religion and to vote in elections. They are not stopped and searched at checkpoints, they are not brutalized by an occupying army, and they are not herded into a densely-populated penal colony (Gaza) where they are deprived of the basic means of survival. Iranian Jews live in dignity and enjoy the benefits of citizenship.
Ahmadinejad is demonized in the western media. He is called an anti-Semite and the “new Hitler”. But if those claims are true, then why did the majority of Iran’s Jews vote for Ahmadinejad in recent presidential elections?
He never said that he wanted to “wipe Israel off the map”. That’s another fiction.
“This myth has been endlessly recycled since a translating error was made of a speech Ahmadinejad delivered nearly two years ago. Farsi experts have verified that the Iranian president, far from threatening to destroy Israel, was quoting from an earlier speech by the late Ayatollah Khomeini in which he reassured supporters of the Palestinians that “the Zionist regime in Jerusalem” would “vanish from the page of time.”

Posted on December 19, 2011 at 12:50pmAre US and Israel trying to create the justification for another war? Is that why the media credits Ahmadinejad with saying things that he never really said. He never said that he wanted to “wipe Israel off the map”. That’s another fiction. Author Jonathan Cook explains what the Iranian president really said:
“This myth has been endlessly recycled since a translating error was made of a speech Ahmadinejad delivered nearly two years ago. Farsi experts have verified that the Iranian president, far from threatening to destroy Israel, was quoting from an earlier speech by the late Ayatollah Khomeini in which he reassured supporters of the Palestinians that “the Zionist regime in Jerusalem” would “vanish from the page of time.”
He was not threatening to exterminate Jews or even Israel. He was comparing Israel’s occupation of the Palestinians with other illegitimate systems of rule whose time had passed, including the Shahs who once ruled Iran, apartheid South Africa and the Soviet empire. Nonetheless, this erroneous translation has survived and prospered because Israel and its supporters have exploited it for their own crude propaganda purposes.”
Could it be that most of what we know about Ahmadinejad is propaganda?

“We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah,” bin Laden said in the transcript.
He said the mujahedeen fighters did the same thing to the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s, “using guerrilla warfare and the war of attrition to fight tyrannical superpowers.”
“We, alongside the mujahedeen, bled Russia for 10 years until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat,” bin Laden said.
He also said al Qaeda has found it “easy for us to provoke and bait this administration.”

However, if your dear leader does not get the nom, then God help us all if your sad devotion to this ancient religion decides to run as an independent, as there will be no more Constitution.

This has been a tough question for me because president’s in their 2nd term are disastrous. So do I hold my nose and vote for “anybody but Obama”? Right now, no.
It is frustrating watching people like yourself come around so slowly for the constitution, watching people like you deprogram yourselves from the press created idea of “electability”. Even liberals understand that a community organizer from one of the most corrupt states in the union with a history of socialist/communist connections could get elected to the highest office in the land.

Paul is electable, it shows in the recent polls, in his newest money bomb at over 4 Million dollars (donations from average Americans with approx 60-70% veterans (like myself) and active duty military. My only fear is that when Paul gets the nomination, he will be at risk of assassination from the FED and other big money people. I pray for his safety continually. This is a real fear as the establishment wants the people that you want in order to continue business as usual. Do not continue to be fooled.

I do not like Ron Paul, I will not vote for him as he is in the same class as Gingrich—-both have ideas that will make them unelectable—as a Conservative, Gingrich is definitely not of the conservative side, and has stated he is a “Wilsonian Progressive”—he is the last person I want running for President for that statement alone! Then you have the angry old man, Paul, who is a Libertarian and is not electable even tho he does stand for the Constitution, but he too is unelectable because he comes across as the angry old man with a few screws that have loosened!

Posted on December 19, 2011 at 11:49amRon Paul has never said he wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon. In fact, he has stated just the opposite. What he says is by what right, of Natural Law or international Law, or any law you may choose, do we as the United States have the right or authority to tell them they cannot have one. Who died and made the U.S. the final arbiter of what a sovereign nation can do? What has our foreign policy taught Iran? North Korea has a nuke and we kiss their ass, Iraq didn’t and we went in and killed Saddam. Iran is only acted in a manner consistent with our foreign policy.
For a little historical context go back and look at the 1953 Iranian coup d’état where the CIA overthrew Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh so we could secure oil rights from the Shah. Maybe they are tired of us messing in their affairs. I can explain it to you but I can’t make you understand it.
