“This is the first time I’ve seen Ron Paul talk. He looks like a crazy man and he sounds dangerous. Other than him, I think everyone on the stage seems decent enough.”

When you can’t attack the ideas, you attack the person.

It’s called ad hominem. Good going.

Unfortunately the ideas aren’t running for President - that nutcase is.

Let me repeat: he SOUND DANGEROUS. I heard his denial today of knowing what was printed in the racist newsletter that had his name on it. I heard him tonight ranting about people wanting to bomb Iran for a slight infraction before Brit Hume pointed out to him that no one had suggested a stronger response than the one that occurred. I heard him diminish the importance of the U.S. relationship with Israel with regard to national security and express a profound misunderstanding of the Arab world’s perspective. IS THAT AD HOMINEM?
