Nothing like shutting up those that speak the truth.

    If the rest of the party follows suit it will speak volumns about the GOP.

    not surprised at all. He's actually making people re-think some positions.

    Yes. Regardless of Paul's poor choice of words there is truth to what he said. Our very own 9/11 Commission stated the samething Paul did and I didn't hear all these outcry over it. Why because it was buried in a report that the majority of Americans would never bother to read while Paul's comment was made on national TV in front of an audience of millions.

    I agree.

    It is beyond sickening. The fact that anyone would suggest that someone be censored simply because they disagree with opinion is extremely troubling.

    it's the exact same stunt the democrats pulled w/ Nader in 2000 and 2004

    It's not exactly the same but it was equally as wrong.

    Nader wasn't running as a Democrat was he? I don't think it is similar at all.

    COME ON! jlew, we disagree on just about everything, but you ARE NOT STUPID. you cannot deny that the united states policy abroad had something to do with 9/11. it does not excuse what their violent actions, but there was a reason it happened. YOU SIMPLY DO NOT BELIEVE THEY ATTACKED US BECAUSE OF OUR FREEDOM! you know that is rhedoric for those who choose not to think or be informed. dont you think it is dangerous for those who are running for the presidency of the united states to no even attempt to be informed or to understand our enemy? do you really think it is acceptable for presidential frontrunners to be this intentionally ignorant?

    No, an independent, but the Democrats fought to keep him off of every state ballot and every general election debate.

    As a Canadian who respects the American posters here and their views I must say that as an outsider I find this very disturbing.

    It is an unfortunate sign of the times that we are living in.

    Ok, so why would Rudy get that ovation when he stated that he had NEVER heard such an outlandish opinion on 9/11? why did he retreat to the spin room and tell sean hannity that we were attacked because of our freedom? should Rudy be the one held up to public ridicule instead of Ron Paul? i just find it astonishing that 6 years after 9/11 the people applying to lead our country in the fight against terrorism have made NO EFFORT to understand the event or our enemy....... he should be publicly mocked, ridiculed, and laughed out of public life forever for this.. along with any Democrat or Independent who is guilty of the same embarrassing negligence.
