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:

Everybody and their mother is trying to predict what's going to happen in the 2012 race to the White House. At New Voices, we're wondering what college students will vote for. Well, tonight may have given us a hint.

Most college students use their Tuesday night to catch up on homework or party before class-free Wednesday.

At American University in Washington, D.C., its student newspaper The Eagle proclaims, “It’s time for the most anticipated televised event of the year at AU. Nope, not the Super Bowl. It’s the State of the Union!”

AU College Democrats gathered the campus political junkies in The Tavern, AU’s bar-turned-hamburger-and-burrito-joint. As early as 8:30pm, students milled about, bought themselves a turkey cheese steak and settled in for President Barack Obama’s sixth statement to a joint session of Congress.

AU’s known to be a pretty liberal campus, so it was not surprising that Obama got a raucous round of applause when he began to give his State of the Union.

But what’s even more interesting is what student didn’t seem to care about. Obama’s celebration of global teamwork to stop Iranian nuclear weaponry, and the subsequent growth of Iranian sanctions, received absolutely barely any response from the gathered students. Obama’s mention of support for Israel received only a polite clapping.

As JTA reported on Friday, Atlanta Jewish Times Owner/Publisher Andrew Adler had what I can only assume was a 1,000-word psychotic episode in print a couple of weeks ago. This unfortunate loss of his mental faculties caused him to propose that, among other options Israel must obviously be mulling over for the sake of its own security, they were probably thinking about, you know, maybe having President Obama whacked by secret agents.

His airtight thinking on this matter:

Yes, you read "three" correctly. Order a hit on a president in order to preserve Israel's existence. Think about it. If I have thought of this Tom Clancy-type scenario, don't you think that this almost unfathomable idea has been discussed in Israel's most inner circles?

[...]

You have go to believe, like I do, that all options are on the table.

I've taken Adler's advice on this and thought about it, but I've come to a different conclusion: Just because conspiracy-minded wing-nuts have a particularly off-the-rails idea doesn't mean that world leaders have had the same idea.

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.
