Former Presidential candidate and cult-politico Ron Paul managed to cause a Twitter firestorm after the death of a Navy SEAL and author of American Sniper, Chris Kyle, 38.
Paul opined in the SEAL tweet of Kyle’s death that “he who lives by the sword dies by the sword … treating PTSD at a firing range doesn’t make sense.” While Paul and son Rand Paul have a devoted throng of followers, the transmission was not necessarily well received on the microblogging service, and the elder Paul came in for some flak.
A mix of reactions resulted, and here are a few of the top tweets – what was your reaction to Ron Paul’s SEAL tweet?

Saddened by Ron Paul’s comments on the passing of Chris Kyle. That kind of rhetoric is just unacceptable. Blue skies, Chris.
