Deerson and Ron Paul after a talk in March | Courtesy of David Deerson

You may recall our story from last week about David Deerson, the Bible-quoting Jewish college student who supports Ron Paul. (If you haven’t read it yet, you should.)

Someone called Adrian Wainer read it and attempted to deposit the following comment. He begins by quoting Deerson from the article:

“‘I think it [a Jewish State] has an absolute right to exist. The question is: Is it wise or prudent to exist in that specific area of the world, given the sort of geopolitical conditions of today?’ Deerson said in a telephone interview.”

Maybe Israel should exist on the f8cking Moon according according to Deerson, oh I forgot the Islamists claim the entire Solar System and Galaxy for Islam, what to do, “kill all the Jews “, which might well be what that piece of sh-one-t Ron Paul wants.

I’m not gonna get into all of the, er, issues Wainer raises here, but his comment did give me this question to ponder: How do you people think spam filters work?

Jewish student for Ron Paul; Perry is out; who’s next? [Today in New Voices]

David Deerson, a junior at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill meets Ron Paul | Zach C. Cohen

It took New Voices Associate Editor Zach C. Cohen (also recently dubbed New Voices politics correspondent as well) some time to find a Jewish student who supports Ron Paul, but our ace reporter found one. Check out his story:

David Deerson went to Jewish day school, attended and worked at a Jewish summer camp and he has been to Israel multiple times. He also thinks the Jewish State might as well be in Wyoming. And he’s voting for Ron Paul in 2012.

Read the full story here.

Next, we might have gone after a Jewish student supporter of Michele Bachmann, but that ship has long since sailed. Failing that, Rick Perry would have been next on our list, but news of the end of his campaign and his endorsement of Newt Gingrich hit today.

So next up, we’re on the lookout for a Jewish student with a thing for Mitt Romney (which shouldn’t be too hard to find), a Gingrich supporter (which may be a little harder to find) or a Jewish student who has anything other than total contempt for Rick Santorum. If you know someone who fits any of those descriptions, help us out! Which one would you rather see next? Let us know in the comments or email Zach at zach@newvoices.org.
