What an idiot!

Quote:

Former congressman and libertarian icon Ron Paul tweeted a startling reaction to the death of SEAL sniper Chris Kyle on Monday:

Chris Kyle’s death seems to confirm that “he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.” Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn’t make sense

Agreed, his followers were blind to his shortcomings. Message was mostly good, he just was not the right person.

He can't be president because he uses Twitter?

I fail to see the issue here.

Using a death to make political points is wrong when either side does it. This isn't the time to be making insensitive comments. In essence, he is blaming the victim.

I understand his point and don't disagree, but his timing and delivery are why he is seen as being on the fringe.

Ron Paul is anti-military and that comment was demeaning to a decorated hero.

Point taken. But I think RP is out of politics for good now and maybe feels he can take his comments a bit further than he could while he held office.

Wrong? No.

Wrong timing? Yep.

Ron Paul was in the military also.

He's anti-interventionist, not anti-military.

the comment was in bad taste, but I wouldn't say it was demeaning.

Sure he is. The fool said if elected, he wouldn't worry one bit about Iran. He believes in sanctions and not military action.
