Michigan GOP leader wants Paul barred from future debates

Associated Press - May 16, 2007 7:45 PM ET

The chairman of the Michigan Republican Party said today he will try to bar presidential candidate Ron Paul from future GOP debates.

The Texas congressman made remarks that suggested the September 11th attacks were the fault of US foreign policy at a GOP debate last night. Paul drew attacks from all sides, most forcefully from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, when Paul linked the terror attacks to US bombings.

Michigan party chairman Saul Anuzis says he will circulate a petition among Republican National Committee members to ban Paul from more debates...

1. Censorship is one of the defining characteristics of the Republican Party.

GOP: The Party of lies, deceit, corruption, cronyism, death, destruction, torture, privatization, and censorship.

[tridim]

4. Of course it's not about censoring Ron Paul..

It's about hiding the truth to protect BushCo.

7. Whatever works to further the cause, right? n/m

2. Why do republicans hate the First Amendment?

Last time I looked, Americans embraced the "marketplace of ideas".

6. Vincardog wants to ban Neo-Convicts from government because their discredited

ideology has ben proven corrupt, counter productive and corrosive to life.

9. Throwing Stones wants to ban anyone not living in the reality-based world

from any and all government positions.

That should create quite a few vacancies throughout DC and elsewhere.

[Supersedeas]

5. not so Reaganesque is it -- Paul even referred to Reagan in support of his position

Imagine Reagan not being invited to a Repig Debate -- actually these days, it is not hard to imagine.

[CottonBear]

8. Well...isn't that democratic of them.

Not.

:grr: Just when you think the GOP-Republics couldn't be worse, they prove you wrong.

[sinkingfeeling]

10. That's right. We wouldn't want any reality to shine on the GOP.

13. The truth about 9-11 scares the shit...

...out of the GOP and they know there are many more Americans now interested to hear from people like Ron Paul than there were five years ago. They can't suppress the truth indefinitely, but they're damn sure gonna try.

16. If it was not blow back what was the reason? He was right.

We have a crazy system in how we back some govt. I can see why people go nuts. We love really bad guys if they will give us some thing. Kill gas what does our govt. care what these so called friends do to their people as long as we get our cake. Greed.

[shain from kane]

18. Ron Paul getting some blowback from his little incursion into the truth.

See, it isn't that difficult to understand, is it?

[IronLionZion]

19. They can't handle the truth. They just hate us for our freedoms.

"They" meaning the Republican party. The GOP hates us for our freedom, so they hate America. The GOP has more in common with our enemies (Al Qaeda, Saddam, Taliban, etc.) than they care to admit.

[girl gone mad]

21. I'm sure Ghouliani wants to keep him in the debates..

Rudy needs every chance he can get to pimp 9/11.
