I try to ignore Ron Paul and his spawn as much as humanly possible but sometimes the doddering old fraud just goes too far. As a recap, Muslim terrorists, or at least everyone in the world thinks they are Muslim terrorists except the Obama administration, stormed the offices of a Parisian magazine that happens to poke fun at Islam and its Mohammed. People were killed. What lesson does Ron Paul draw from this? The French had it coming:
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
“But in the context of things, France has been a target for many, many years, because they’ve been involved in foreign affairs in Libya, and they really prodded us along in — recently in Libya, but they’ve been involved in Algeria, so they’ve had attacks like this, you know, not infrequently. So, it does involve, you know, their foreign policy as well. When people do this, you know, the rejection of the violence has to be made, and with that I agree.”
“I put blame on bad policy that we don’t fully understand, and we don’t understand what they’re doing because the people who are objecting to the foreign policy that we pursue, they do it from a different perspective,” Paul added. “They see us as attacking them, and killing innocent people, so yes, they, they have — this doesn’t justify, so don’t put those words in my mouth — it doesn’t justify, but it explains it.”
Paul said it was the West’s overall foreign policy which “invites retaliation.”
By the most charitable standard this is utterly deranged thinking… actually it’s less than thinking it is more akin to what a sunflower does when the flower follows the path of the sun: stimulus-response.
The attack was carried out for the same reason that Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh was killed: it criticized Islam. There was no connection here with French foreign policy, rather it was caused by French domestic policy — a policy Obama seems intent in foisting upon the United States — of unchecked immigration and an inability to assimilate a large and disloyal foreign minority.
The only “bad policy” to blame here was France’s domestic kowtowing to violent extremists.
This man is an idiot. In a gentler time we’d be paying twopence to watch him eat bugs and fingerpaint with his own feces in Bedlam.
Another idiot rationalizing mass murder.
And that’s EXACTLY what he’s rationalizing.
Spare me the “nuanced” bullsh**, Ron.
That’s 2 “conservatives” who think its our fault.
OK Bill Donohue doesn’t think its our fault, only that we need censorship so no obscene images of Mohammad upset the Islamderthals.
As do I...which is why I stopped reading at that point.
I wonder how Ron Paul would feel if someone executed him in cold blood and someone said “Hey, the b*tch had it coming”
People who support Rand Paul should not forget who raised him!!!
His dad would make me reluctant to vote for Rand Paul. I don't want Ron Paul anywhere close to the White House.
SILENCE! I KEEL YOU!!!
“OK Bill Donohue doesn’t think its our fault, only that we need censorship so no obscene images of Mohammad upset the Islamderthals.”
He called for censorship? I thought he said this:
“I also condemn the lack of restraint of people perverting their freedom by choosing the most pornographic, obscene, vulgar depictions of Muhammad for the juvenile intent of insulting them. You know, when you keep doing that, you’re going to get a response.”
“The abuse of liberty, in this country and . . . by these smart alecks who want to take their middle finger and put it in the face of people of faith, that has to stop too,” he said. “How about some restraint and civility and decency on the part of these people?”
Donohue noted that he has led peaceful protests against art projects that were insulting to Christians, including a piece that put a Crucifix in a bottle of urine and a painting of the Virgin Mary smeared with elephant dung.
“I’m sick and tired of these brats who say, ‘Muslims, you have to take it,’” Dononhue said. “Why don’t you disagree with Islam and do it in a civil manner instead of acting like a bunch of libertine thugs yourselves?”
Those who wish to condemn Islamic extremism should show moral restraint, he said.
“I think when you depict Muhammad as a victim of anal sex, unless there’s something . . . twisted with you, you have to come to the conclusion that’s pushing the envelope,” he said.

More blaming the victim,eh?
Words fail me.
.
Pacifist pussy.
Certifiable nut case.
Bill Donohue uses weasel words.
If he can’t see that islam IS the obcenity he’s hopeless.
I really think George Washington would understand if we placed Mohammed in panties on the one dollar bill. Would be worth it just to make the point.
Ron Paul thinks it’s 1920, when many Algerians received French citizenship for their service during the WW1.
OF COURSE they are still ticked off. Why should they be expected to act like citizens?
Well, they did let millions of muzzies into their country. So if not deserved, it should certainly have been expected.
And we’re letting in millions of Mexican Reconquistas.
As far as I am concerned, the future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam.
Well I’m not gonna live forever so I’m gonna slander Ol Ham Head for as long as I breathe.
lol! I would hope so.
