Tea Party debate audience boos Ron Paul

[polmaven]

for saying all Muslims aren’t responsible For 9/11:

Last night during the CNN/Tea Party debate, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) challenged Rick Santorum’s claim that terrorists attacked the United States on 9/11 “because of who we are and what we stand for.” “This whole idea that the whole Muslim world is responsible for this,” Paul said, “and they’re attacking us because we’re free and prosperous, that is just not true.” The audience then booed Paul and booed him again when he suggested that the Palestinians don’t get “fair treatment.”

2. The 'Baggers are the true id of the GOP.

You get applause for executing a lot of people (some of whom were probably innocent). You get applause for suggesting people who don't have health insurance should die. And you get booed for saying not all Muslims are responsible for 9/11.

How can anybody think that way?

And I'll bet most of them claim to be Christians.

4. Real "Pro-Life Christians" that bunch.......

From everything I have been able to determine they just want to destroy.. I know of nothing they have EVER offered that would build or construct anything. they want to tear down all government and let the Law of the Jungle be the rule of the day....Very deliberately stupid people.

3. It looks like teabaggers are a quick to throw wingnuts under the bus

as some DUers are to toss progressives down there with them. Purists. Sheesh!

5. Excuse me for asking a dumb question

I didn't see the debate. I am curious who invited "tea party" audience. Can anyone go inside to watch the debate or do they have to be invited? Who was the audience? The Tea Party is supposed to disappear by now yet the Media keeps on and on shining on those small teapotters for some reason.

7. Yeah one wonders how long it will be before a network decides to host a debate

8. the "Tea Party" sponsored the debate, not the GOP like usual...

9. You know what they say, don't you???

No question is EVER dumb!!! Or something along that line! :hi:

[krabigirl]

6. of course they do. They don't like to think very much, and when confronted with facts, they boo.

Also, the only part of libertarianism they agree with is the economic stuff. They want nothing to do with the anti-war, pro-civil liberties part.

10. They'd be fringe except the popular media sell the very same line

You can't get on the teevee at all if you don't toe the line that the U.S. was attacked because of our freedoms or something like that. There's no way in heck you can get on if you intimate that we might have invited an attack because of anything we've done anywhere in the world at any time. This is one of those times Paul is accidentally right, but the booing from the nitwit audience is totally in line with the official story put out on the broadcast and cable stations.
