Giuliani Calls Ron Paul 'Absurd' on 9/11

“Paul will get less than 5% in the race for the republican nomination if he is lucky”

I think his total will be more like .05%!! He certainly comes across as a first class jerk.

Why stop there? Sure, maybe he's never ever voted for a tax increase, is pro-life, has supported every tax cut he can, and has across the board high ratings with the conservative groups. He went against the establishment, so now we need to destroy him.

Being pro-life is great. But Muslims can be against abortion too.

Ron Paul is a traitor. He's a modern-day Benedict Arnold who is actively supporting the enemy by working towards our defeat in Iraq. Theres really no reason why he couldn't run as a "conservative" Dem. He sure sounds like them when he talks about the War.

Paul might not have used those precise words, but he sure as hell blamed the US for 9/11 . . . . . The lisping draft-dodger Giuliani only impressed the simplistic viewers who look at this superficially - like Hannity. Outside of Hannity the news coverage seemed to be much less naive. For example Christi Paul - no relation I presume - as this morning's anchor replacement on Headline Mews, along with the morning CNN ticker were correct in stating what Paul had said - that U.S. interventionist foreign policy contributed to the attack on 9-11 . Hard truth for Rudy to swallow but we will never forget Rudia's defiant disdain for the INS rules and policies that were ANOTHER contributing factor - Rudy was fighting for Atta and the gang and all the other New Yorkers on expired visas illegally in the country. It was the former mayor's defiantly fighting to the Supreme Court for a policy that contributed to it all. We will never forgive you Rudia - you need to work much, much harder to obfuscate the truth from the Americans that know what you did before 9-11 to promote the attacks.

Wow, you have CNN—which hates the war—on your side. Whoopdi-frickin-do.

You are likely to end up with Hillary Clinton as your next President unless you and millions of others unite to vote against her. Voting for different candidates as token opposition is a sign of weakness and submission. I will never do that. I will vote for the Republican candidate, whoever he is, against any of the Democrats running. I would even vote for Ron Paul if he were the nominee, and that is saying alot.

But then again, I'm a real patriot. I don't just play one on the Internet.

I dont know what Ron Paul was smoking tonight, but somebody needs to test his blood and urine for crack, PCP, LSD etc.

No, remember the Libertarian creed: ‘Drugs are a VICTIMLESS CRIME.’ Not really!!
Anyway, Ron Paul, you are the reason WHY the Libertarian can’t win!!! I was a LIBERTARIAN - and on some issues I am STILL, but post 9/11, we need to KILL the bad guys!!
Mr. Ron Paul, please check yourself into a mental health clinic. You are getting senile!!

You and I don’t agree. I believe that countries have the right to pursue their interests and arrange their affairs in the best interest of their countrymen. While I understand that behavior has consequences, I’m tired of the argument that America’s pursuit of its self-interests is the cause of its problems. That’s the root of the blame America first crowd’s belief that we got our just deserts on 9/11. I’ve watched libertarian affairs for at least a decade now, and I’ve decided that I’m firmly a republican, with a small r. Smoking dope and being an isolationist just doesn’t hold my interests. P.S. What’s Israel’s having a star on their flag got to do with us?

Maybe you can convince Giuliani to read the report when you finish.

Those who were absurd on Tuesday night were the ex New York Mayor & pseudo-Conservative talking head Sean Hannity, who pretended to take umbrage at Dr. Paul’s daring to try to introduce background factors, relevant to our foreign policy.

The only two participants in the Debate who showed any real familiarity with the U.S. Constitution were Paul and Tancredo. From the perspective of this lifelong Conservative, they were the only two candidates worth considering.

[The_Eaglet]

Giuliani knocked it out of the park, and there were eight other men in the room standing to ready to do the same.

Interrupting Paul's answer just to say that it is absurd without providing any supporting information is not hitting it out of the park. It is running around the bases after hitting a foul ball.

"These people came here and killed us because they hate our freedom of religion, our freedom for women..."

--Rudy Guiliani

And you people are saying that RON PAUL is an idiot? My God, are the neocons really that gob stopping STUPID?

Guiliani was emotionally brilliant in the play to the crowd on that one, twisting the reasoning WHY the arabs attack us into a "blaming ourselves" slur, which Ron Paul did not mean. Give Guiliani credit, he did good on that one, whether he was honest or not. However, the statement he gave for why the Muslims DID attack us has got to go down as one of the most thoughtless brainless, asinine comments I have heard from anyone.

Neocon decerebrates lap it up like water, too.
