Prior to the last debate I would have readily agreed with this. In fact I did. But suggesting that the United States is culpable for its own punishment on 9/11 from Al Qaeda is as near a disqualifying position as one can adopt. It’s little different from blaming Jews for the Holocaust. It’s a grotesque and unacceptable position for the GOP to provide a forum for.

But if he hasn't already disqualified himself (that is, if he ever "qualified" himself in the first place) then he's awfully close. So let him shoot himself in the foot. But trying to bar someone from speaking in a public debate because you don't like what he has to say is about as un-American and anti-conservative as ideas get.
I keep forgetting that he is a traitor. I was just using him as a generic example of fairness on debates. If he is knocked out than I won’t picket. lol.
It was a dumb thing to say, but by itself it does not invalidate his candidacy. When Jerry Falwell made a similar statement, that was dumb too but did not invalidate all his other works.
So long as Paul is a member of the party, and can demonstrate any support, he belongs on that stage with the other candidates.
