he has had plenty of chances after the debates to condemn the crowd for their appalling behavior, as the VP has done.
he has interrupted debates to get his two cents in and been given time, but saw no need to do so on these occasions. he did not even condemn the crowd for cheering about the death of an uninsured person when the question was given to him.
tacit approval.
while i give him credit for finally speaking out against DADT and voting accordingly, as well as speaking against the death penalty, that is empty posturing if he does not condemn the nitwits who cheer for such things.
I think he explained it pretty well, Ron here talks about his friend who actually had the same experience and how he helped him...and how he took this question kind of personally because of this experience actually, Dr Paul was hurt by the audiences reaction if anything.

Its not *tactic approval* - its keeping his mouth shut so the extreme conservatives agree with him, its not getting worked up about a ridiculous hypothetical questions with the obvious intent to make him look like 'Crazy Uncle RON' and smear him - the same old game they always use - its easy to take a philosopher out of context or get them with hypothetical questions and that's what they have been aiming for - he dodged that bullet the best he could. If you know anything about Ron Pauls philosophy he is strongly against the death penalty and strongly against people die-ing PERIOD....hes a MEDICAL DOCTOR FOR CHRIST SAKE THAT'S PRO LIFE AND PRO LIBERTY - Don't be a dunce please - don't base your opinion on these debates - read what Ron has said, done, and what he is doing.
Ron Paul actually thinks obamacare was good for what it did for people with pre-existing conditions because of his friends case, DO YOU THINK HE SHOULD BRING THAT UP AT THE DEBATES? WHERE THEY ARE ALL OBSESSED ABOUT OBAMCARE AND KILLING PEOPLE? DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE A SMART MOVE? SHOULD HE HAVE SHUSSED THE AUDIENCE? REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WHO SHUSSH THE AUDIENCE AT GOP DEBATES?
