You guys seemed to imply that some news dude came on and just flat out said Ron Paul is equivilent to Al Qaeda, which a statement like that is of course absurd but this of course is not what he said. First off they compared ALL of the republicans to terrorists not excluding Ron Paul and second it wasn't like they were saying the republicans are on the same level they were just simply making an interesting analogy of the different groups of terrorists. This was all done with fun in games not "don't vote for Ron Paul because he is EXACTLY like a terrorist." And on another note if you people really do support Ron Paul then surely you should support the idea of freedom of speech. He has every right to base his opinion on Ron Paul just as much as I have a right to base my opinion on Rudy and therefore should not have to appolagize for anything. This is why America is so great....don't ruin it people.

No. Chris Matthews compared the Republican presidential candidates to the Iraqis, Sunnis, Shia, and Kurds, which are not "different groups of terrorists." Unless, of course, you think all Iraqis are terrorists, which some Americans do.

Shuster said Ron Paul was the Al-Queda branch of the Iraqis, which is not a political branch or ethnic group, but only an international group of terrorists. I think he should apologize, as a matter of honor for saying that any presidential candidate was like Al-Queda. But, yes, he does have a right to say whatever the fuck he wants to about anyone, because it's a god-given right protected by the Constitution. It's a lot worse than, "nappy-headed hoes."
