Rep. Paul, who is one of four remaining Republican candidates for president, disagreed Monday afternoon. Paul said after he confirmed the incident involving Sen. Paul on his Twitter page that it showed why the TSA should be eliminated. "The police state in this country is growing out of control," the elder Paul said in a statement released by his presidential campaign. "One of the ultimate embodiments of this is the TSA that gropes and grabs our children, our seniors, and our loved ones and neighbors with disabilities," he continued. "The TSA does all of this while doing nothing to keep us safe. “That is why my ‘Plan to Restore America,’ in additional to cutting $1 trillion dollars in federal spending in one year, eliminates the TSA." TSA has defended its treatment of Sen. Paul, saying that its employees in Nashville followed its normal procedure with the senator, who has often sharply criticized the agency's pat-downs before he refused one Monday morning. "When an irregularity is found during the TSA screening process, it must be resolved prior to allowing a passenger to proceed to the secure area of the airport," the agency said Monday in a written statement. "Passengers who refuse to complete the screening process cannot be granted access to the secure area in order to ensure the safety of others traveling." U.S. security officials denied that Sen. Paul was held by the agency. Instead, they said the senator was escorted out of the security area after his refusal to accept a pat-down after his trip through one of the agency's X-ray machines caused issues. Both Pauls have been vocal critics of the TSA, calling for the controversial agency to be disbanded. TSA said in a statement that "the passenger," Sen. Paul, "has since rebooked on another flight and was rescreened without incident." Amie Parnes contributed to this report.

Gingrich/Romney/Santorum are JEALOUS that Rand Paul was violated and they're not going to let this pass, they'll demand that the TSA violate them, too....

Au contraire mon ami' - I think they are more likely to call for him to be arrested under der NDAA and be sent to Guantanamo.

That would be closer to the truth. One thing is sure; the more delegates Dr. Paul garners, the nastier these goonbahs will behave. Far from being grateful for the life, youthful enthusiasm and energy Dr. paul has peeled away fro Obama, they are scared to death of his ideas and how they inspire people. They are not above playing the game like Tanya Harding eliminated one of her ice skating competitors.

It's only fair. Afterall, it WAS Ron Paul that said he was going to wipe Israel & the joos off the face of the map, right? Au contraire mon ami' - I think they are more likely to call for him to be arrested under der NDAA and be sent to Guantanamo.
Mike Flaherty: Yeah, it's been there a long time. I wish I knew which corner.

I can just imagine the foaming lips and gutter speech to be found at FreepTardia and Israel Post. Dear ol' Tanya - she gives Trailer Trash a bad name. However, more seriously, I think they are scared because RP represents everything they are not - self sacrificing, honest, and genuinely tough. I think the NeoCons are generally frightened of anybody with those qualities and doubly so because they are all Chickenhawks while Dr. Paul "Walked the Walk" and is anti-war. That is really a bad combination from the point of view of the Chickenhawks because it highlights their cowardice and unwillingness to serve in any way that might put their own precious hide in harm's way. Criminals do not like honest men. And yes I fear for his well being as the big fish criminals would not blink an eye to send a hit squad after him. Just ask Jack Kennedy how that works. However, at this point the society has moved and a lot of people are watching for just that possibility. I hesitate to predict what would happen if they do whack him, but I don't think many people are going to bite on "the lone nut scenario" so they have to kill him covertly if they are going to do it, and in such a way as to not make it an obvious hit. That would be closer to the truth. One thing is sure; the more delegates Dr. Paul garners, the nastier these goonbahs will behave.

No, Ron Paul said something much worse: shutting down the Federal Reserve, thereby cutting off the Rothschild's from their source of income. The tenderest part of a jew is his purse.... Afterall, it WAS Ron Paul that said he was going to wipe Israel & the joos off the face of the map, right?
