Oh oh...
Rand Paul, might, probably, ... just did a big boo boo in my opinion that could hurt his campaign in a big way if this thing makes it to Fox News and other outlets.
I cannot make full sense out of it, BUT AFTER TODAY'S TERRORIST ATTACK BY ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS in Paris to kill those authors of some satire based magazine for having funny cartoons depicting Allah and muslims and such, Paul was.asked about this intolerant attack on freedom of the press and speech, and he replied:
"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.”
uhhh .. ok, the foreign intanglement thing, fine, but these murders of these authors isn't really about that, this is about those crazy muslim.extremists who do not want to allow ANYONE to print a joke about Allah or cartoons in satire on the penalty of death, it doesn't matter which country, it could have been authors in Switzerland or Tonga, don't matter folks, the extremists are going to go berzerker but.we cannot.allow them to dictate to us our cartoons or free speech like this ...
man... I think Paul just blew it... yeah ok the foreign entanglement thing, but it won't look square and it doesn't fit into the box, sorry but this was real dumb and it wasn't the.right circumstances or time to say this with 12 dead bodies at the hands of barbarians...
... man. Not good. Bad play. Dumb. May sink him. And he was jabbering and sort of like "opps ... did I just say that" ya know, ya know. Oh god.
