Michael Scheuer on Ron Paul and Foreign Policy
February 18th, 2008 by Dan McCarthy
Astonishing that this was broadcast on Bill O’Reilly’s program, albeit while it was guest-hosted by Michael Smerconish:
Smerconish: “Among all of them [i.e., the candidates], who gets it in your opinion?”
Scheuer: “Only Ron Paul understood what was going on.”
Smerconish: “And he gets portrayed as a crackpot in certain quarters when he speaks this lingo.”
Scheuer: “Not only as a crackpot but as an anti-American and an anti-Semite and all the rest of the vituperation that comes along with just recognizing the reality of the situation. … Mr. Paul was trying to convince the American people of the threat they lived under, and how to alleviate some of it, and instead he was called unpatriotic and other things.”
Here’s the interview:
