Is it possible to use a linear accelerator to fire a magnetic fluid.

I have this idea for a science fiction story that uses a coil gun and liquid oxygen for rocket propulsion.

Is this feasible?

As always thank you for your input.
 
While it's true that liquid oxygen is paramagnetic, this is a pretty weak effect, and it's not clear how you would accelerate it and at the same time keep it a liquid. Heckuva lot easier, in my opinion, to just ionize the stuff and use an electric field to accelerate it.
