With respect to the 11th Commandment, that doesn't seem to apply to Ron Paul. I think there is some selective indignation here.

I disagree with Ron Paul on the issues. A healthy debate on the issues is appropriate and altogether good. The 11th Commandment is a ban on personal attacks and smears, IMHO, like the Phony Fred fiasco.

Ron Paul is wrong on the War, which is the central issue of our times. It is not an attack to say so. There is no reason to pretend that he is an acceptable candidate out of politeness, when he is so very and irretrievably wrong.

I agree with you. However, I’m not sure the attacks are confined to his position on the war, but then I don’t watch the silly “debates”, either. Another poster above describes the same treatment of Rudy. I didn’t select Paul as someone for whom I am a proponent, just someone who might be an example, from the quotes I’ve read, of the object of an exception to the Commandment.
