I like it when those guys cringe at the mention of the Constitution...
Rather difficult to attack the Constitution, so they will have to come up with something else if Paul continues to beat them into the dirt. (where they belong)
So, CNN simply removed the comments and replaced them with apage of comments about last night's Democratic debate.
Here is a copy of the comments as they were before CNN removed before removed them.
June 5, 2007 Who won? The GOP presidential debate just ended — who shined and who faltered? Add a comment to weigh in.

Only one candidate stood out strongly: Doctor Ron Paul! Ron Paul, Dr. Ron Paul! Posted By Dave, Naples, NY : June 5, 2007 9:15 pm
Ron Paul won. Without a question. It's so ridiculous to see that these guys keep pumping the same neo-conservative line about them "hating our freedoms" when CIA reports have historically said otherwise. Posted By Elias Ambler : June 5, 2007 9:16 pm
Ron Paul won the debate. He is the only candidate that seems to be honest and not out of touch. He is also anti-amnesty and believes that Americans have the right to privacy and believes in property rights (anti-eminent domain: none of the other candidates have even touched it). Before this debate I was unsure about who to support (Democrat or Republican) and with this debate I'm totally with Ron Paul. Posted By Jerel Poor, St Louis Missouri : June 5, 2007 9:18 pm

{excerpt} From the seating - with the "first tier" candidates in the middle - to the time allotted to the various candidates, the GOP debates tonight were obviously designed to minimize "second tier" candidate contributions.
Nonetheless, Tom Tancredo (R-Colo) and Ron Paul (R-Tex) made clear their differences with mainstream Republican positions during their allotted time. Tancredo spoke clearly to his core issue which is controlling immigration and enforcing current law. In one answer, he directly attacked President George Bush and suggested that were he to win the presidency, he would request that the current president never "darken his door" again.
Ron Paul's most eloquent moment may have come when he branded the nation's main moral failure as its new policy of "pre-emptive engagement" which he said has taken the place of the ancient, Christian idea of a "just war."

June 11, 2007 issue - Defense Secretary Robert Gates has a message for the military: keep focused on the real enemies. "Today, I want to encourage you always to remember the importance of two pillars of our freedom under the Constitution—the Congress and the Press," he told graduates of both the Naval and Air Force academies in two recent commencement addresses. He went on to say that "the American military must be nonpolitical and recognize the obligation we owe the Congress to be honest and true in our reporting to them. Especially when it involves admitting mistakes or problems. The same is true with the Press ... The Press is not the enemy, and to treat it as such is self- defeating."
