Paul's a Truther.
And a bigot.

That first link doesn't have any actual evidence of Paul being a truther. Paul clearly believes that the attacks were made by pissed off Muslims, not Mossad or Halliburton. And the second one quotes statements that are milder than what I say on a pretty regular basis.

"He constantly blames US foreign policy for 9-11, putting him in the same league as Ward Churchill and Rev. Jeremiah Wright, possibly even to the left of Dennis Kucinich."

It also puts him in the same league as any rational person. Al Qaeda publicly stated their motivations, and they had everything to do with US foreign policy. Maybe they're lying, but I don't see why they would. Their religion shapes their perception of American foreign policy, but that doesn't excuse the US for poking our dicks into other countries and not expecting any response.

NB: I'm cool with American imperialism, so long as it's rational. It's one thing to invade Alberta, liberate them from British imperialism, and secure their precious oil. It's another thing to pretend that the Canadians only fight back because hockey and poutine distort their worldview.
