What's Going On With Rand Paul

[Premier112]

Unconsidering zealots don't get that Jim Crow laws were a government institution, not the other way around. Government harassed civil rights protesters. Government protected racist actions. Government perpetuates racism to this day.

Civil-rights boycott restaurants drove racists out of business. Bus stations changed their racist policies in but weeks of actual action.

When will the black community stop buying into the insulting Party line they're weak,dumb, or need protection like children do?

[endwelfare]

there is a double standard in that they a plenty of black only schools and black only neighborhood and instituitions but try to start anything whatsoever that is white only and there will be an uprising. private business and property owners should be able to do what they want. and by the way this is one of the worst videos i've ever seen

[HollisQueens]

I think Rand would support auditing the Federal Reserve (who helps the government finance wars and also makes back room deals for their buddies to the tune of billions/trillions), they do it by increasing the money supply thus devaluing the worth of our currency and causing inflation an evil hidden tax/burden that the poor and middle class suffer from the most. Bush, Obama were both for bail outs, Rand Paul's popularity is a backlash to the corporatism the runs rampant through the Federal Gov.

[mikeboosh]

Can the government tell you what to say. No, because you own your mouth, not the government. Libertarians believe your business is the just as much your property as your person.

[valmorgan]

Thiss video is rediculous! Does the maker of the video feel a KKK memeber could go to a black establishment ?

[Wyndstarthedruid]

this video is uneducated.

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

The TOXIC dumbing down of the conservative movement (1950s to present): Buckley / Goldwater (rolling over in their graves) Nixon's Secret Plan & Southern Strategy Reagan (Trickle-down & MASSIVE DEBT) Religious right hijacks Jesus. Limbaugh & Hate Radio Family values hypocrisy Fox "News" Bush/Cheney/Rove Flag pin "patriotism" Palin & "Drill, baby, drill!" Birthers Beck Neo-Confederates hijack Tea Party. The abyss? Conservatives, you are HERE.

[joeyess]

@RonPaulGeorgeRingo Well said.

[LordXmen2k]

Rand Paul = Racist POS

[Mitchapalooza23]

@LordXmen2k How many times does the man have to say he considers racism disgraceful and he himself would never associate with a business that discriminates.

Disagree with his position if you want, but why throw the racism card around for no basis?

[valmorgan]

@LordXmen2k And you draw the conclusion he is racist how?.... perhaps by the fact a activist for civil rights during the black movement works for him? Or the fact that he stated many many times he is not? Seriously how do you draw the conclusion he is racist? Because the controlled media told you to think that? Jackass.

[AmericanInsurgent76]

Why does the ACLU get a free pass for defending the free speech of racists, while Dr. Rand Paul gets slammed for it? Sounds like a double standard to me that the mainstream media and Democrats need to be called out for!

[valmorgan]

@AmericanInsurgent76 Very good point.

[MyExpandedMind]

this video is sheeit

[762lenny]

Boorish and uncivilized  - like Obama

[joeyess]

@762lenny partisan hack

[762lenny]

@joeyess funny you could anything partisan about this video? This shows your outright RACISM

[joeyess]

@762lenny are you familiar with the word "projection"? You should be. You embody it.

Look, pal, you don't want to get into a flame war with me. Trust me. You're out gunned. Wit is a weapon you don't possess and if your intention is to look like an ass for the world to see........ well, go for it.

[762lenny]

@joeyess I will debate you anytime - show me how smart you think you are nitwit.

[joeyess]

@762lenny oh ho! an ad hominem attack! Well played, sir, well played. Now, about this libertarian paradise that you and Randy Paul want to construct. Should fire departments put out fires based on race?

[Mitchapalooza23]

@joeyess Fire departments are government run institutions, and Rand clearly stated he completely supports the legislation in the civil rights act which makes government run discrimination illegal.

[joeyess]

@Mitchapalooza23 that explains the fire departments in the South turning fire hoses on African Americans during the '50s and '60s. Nice rebuttal, genius.

[Mitchapalooza23]

@joeyess Well considering what i stated was supporting making that very thing you mentioned ILLEGAL, it was a good rebuttal.

[joeyess]

@Mitchapalooza23 I guess a person can't make to fine a point with you Randians, can we? "Libertarian" is what a conservative bigot calls themselves when they're trying to get laid.

There. Audacious enough for you?

[robcypher]

I LIKE IT

[sirkeng]

You don't have to be a dog to hear Rand's whistles. Appalling

[BlueTunisia]

It's funny! In this video, only the policeman are ENFORCING racism! Government inspired and created racism in the 60's!! Think about it! Police would actually ARREST people for not giving their seats to white people. WAKE UP!!

[basquebob]

@BlueTunisia and in Rand's world they would again,

[BlueTunisia]

@basquebob Do you even listen?? That's EXACTLY what he wanted to end!! Institutional (government) rasism!!

[BlueTunisia]

Racism in those days was INSPIRED by all the racist government policies. Example, policeman would actually ARREST blacks for not giving seats to white people.

Noone today in their right minds would do such racist things!! People are actually making it worst by making videos like this!!

[762lenny]

@BlueTunisia Exactly - these racist videos and Obama are making things MUCH worse.

[basquebob]

@762lenny you're kidding, right?

[762lenny]

@basquebob No , no I am not kidding. I may be the most serious person you can meet

[jasonlajoie]

If someone in Harlem wants to start an all black private club Rand is supportive of that. If someone in Alabama wants to start an all white private club Rand is supportive of that too. We already have the Black Panthers and the KKK. Try using existing laws to join the KKK by filing a discrimination lawsuit because you're a black man. Rand is making sense here but some people just don't see the reality.

[762lenny]

We knew that leftists would try to bash any good Senatorial candidates. But please ask yourself - what has the leftist Obama done for you? NOTHING. Lincoln was a Republican as was MLK so ask yourself - are the leftist DEMS REALLY on your side? BE very careful - if you wreck the country aiming at an agenda, we all go down with the ship.

[WrxSti04]

@762lenny Yes Lincoln was, but republicans these days are far from the true republican theory. They are the Sarah palins and rush limbaughs, now Ron Paul is a true republican..

[762lenny]

@WrxSti04 Bullshit - you will find out soon the Dems are NOT your friends. Look at the racism, stock market, wars, etc. Tell me one thing Obama has done for you? Answer - nothing ,nada,zip. How much more money do you make?, How are you better off now?, Do you feel safer -in any way?

[WrxSti04]

@762lenny Hey I didnt say that dems are better now did I. I'm saying the true republican Ideal is complete lost. Plus safe... I believe the patriot act is bullshit, and that obama is bullshit for signing it again. My uncle died in 9/11, Im not scared of any fucking crazy arab. Id rather have my rights.

[762lenny]

@WrxSti04 Ok dude got ya sorry.

[BlueTunisia]

@762lenny Exactly!! Martin Luther King was a Libertarian Republican, just like Rand Paul!!! Anyway, Rand said he would have voted for the Civil Rights Act!!

[joeyess]

@762lenny quite the critical thinker, aren't you?

[762lenny]

@joeyess no just critical ,boorish ,and uncivilized ..........

[DFTaker]

Rand Paul and Sarah Palin are such golden treasures for everyone to realize how insane and out of touch with reality that the tea bag movement is.

[tvstvs]

Even today, the courts are full of cases that are violations against the civil rights act - I wonder why the free market hasn't taken care of them, as Rand and his ilk would think?

[DillonDee1]

if you wanna go into a restaurant & not have to eat with blacks & Hispanics, Vote for Rand Paul.

[kwhitegocubs]

Very cool video. I really don't think he condones racism - it's more that he''s one of those ultra-right-libertarians that believes property rights are the only right that is of real concern. Thus, if radical inequality, poverty, crime, discrimination, etc... results of such private property rights, then those horrors are justified.  Of course, those horrors HAVE already been proven to occur, and not just briefly or in isolation. Thus the intellectual bankruptcy of anarcho-capitalists.

[RebelThoughts]

Rand Paul got destroyed by Rachel Maddow!

[LouisvilleHI]

Indeed. Rand Paul is a racist by proxy, as in his view, others should be allowed to discriminate based on race, while non-racists like him look the other way and errantly believe that happenings like that are just a dumb-luck part of liberty.

[JohnWesley67]

Well done.

[mtlhoma]

to jamesgimbi, nice way to defend your position... how's sarah?

[JamesGimbi]

@mtlhoma Sarah is a raging collectivist. Don't you dare try to lump me with her.

[JamesGimbi]

You're a son of a bitch. This isn't what the man is saying and you know it. You're intellectually dishonest and a shit slinger. Why don't you focus on the issues instead of relying on half-baked hypotheticals that haven't been relevant for fifty years? Oh yeah - because if you did your guy would lose.

[chicaroo]

@JamesGimbi

Fuck off you racist teabagger piece of shit. And take your beloved retrograde Republican party with you

[JamesGimbi]

@chicaroo A) The "Tea Baggers" can bite me. They legitimized a movement that worked its ass off to be a "live and let live" philosophy. B) Don't call me a republican. It's as accurate as I would be if I called you a socialist. It's disrespectful and dismissive to the philosophies we stand for. I don't understand how Chris Matthews gets an accurate read on the situation [a conflict of philosophy] while so many others like yourself are willing to pull the race card.

[alonstec10]

devastating

[BossgameMedia]

This guy is just.... NUTS!

[bbdupon]

Brilliant!

[rocqell]

Wow. This is a pretty persuasive argument against Rand Paul.
