Did you know that John Maynard Keynes was a venomous anti-Semite who could have given Richard Wagner a run for his money? Me neither. Yet the evidence has been out there for decades. Here are a couple of extracts from his writings, courtesy of Chris Dillow via Clive Davis's Spectator blog (http://www.spectator.co.uk/clivedavis/3274946/keynes-antisemitism.thtml - broken link):
[Jews] have in them deep-rooted instincts that are antagonistic and therefore repulsive to the European, and their presence among us is a living example of the insurmountable difficulties that exist in merging race characteristics, in making cats love dogs …
It is not agreeable to see civilization so under the ugly thumbs of its impure Jews who have all the money and the power and brains.
If Ron Paul is to be condemned for racism, should Keynes be given a free pass? Should his supporters, such as Thomas Friedman be exempt from criticism?

And if not, why not?
Is Keynes running for President?
Who promotes him? We discuss his theories economics, not the man.

You really don't wanna go there, believe me. If you want to pick out Jew haters from American history, you'll have to change your opinion about lots of people you admire.
Here is what Christopher Columbus wrote about the Jews
YOUR HIGHNESSES, as Catholic Christians and Princes who love the holy Christian faith, and the propagation of it, and who are enemies to the sect of Mahoma [Islam] and to all idolatries and heresies, resolved to send me, Cristóbal Colon, to the said parts of India to see the said princes ... with a view that they might be converted to our holy faith .... Thus, after having turned out all the Jews from all your kingdoms and lordships ... your Highnesses gave orders to me that with a sufficient fleet I should go to the said parts of India .... I shall forget sleep, and shall work at the business of navigation, so that the service is performed." [3]
So am I to understand that the World is now flat since CC kicked some Jews out of Spain?
Whilst anybody can hold any opinion they want, context is key. If these racist writings are true, then Paul will be looking to be President of a country in which egalitarianism is the norm, whether racially, sexually, etc. He cannot, again if the writings are true, seek such a position without questions being asked. It's similar in a way to Obama and the Reverend Wright thing, a racist cannot be President in modern day society.
