For the sake of rational political argumentation, could someone size up the convo on which this thread is based? I didn't watch the debate, but quite a lot has been written about their exchange in the days since. From what I gather, Mr. Paul dared to bring into question the Saracen's perspective on 9/11, which didn't go over well with the GOP crowd. I welcome anyone who'd like to elaborate and/or debate on this further, but not if it's going to digress into a blue/red pants-wetting fest.
