He did apologize. Its true he went on to criticize her for other reasons which you might consider "not the right thing" But this title is a lie he did apologize for his original remark and admitted he took it out of context. You might not like what he said afterword but we must be fair: he did apologize. Watch the other clips on youtube

@GOPforever8374 , well im assuming the apology is evident on another tape, because it sure as heck ain't evident here....van jones, van jones, van jones, how in the hell did the conversation become about van jones??? OH I KNOW, its called a diverrrrsion.

And the Supreme Court has ruled that it is necessary to not only prevent government discrimination against people because of arbitrary traits, but also force government to overcome the difficulties caused thereby. And example is Lau v Nichols.

@tonylee1973

Just to let you know, Paul does seem to support letting private businesses prevent people from bringing guns into pubs. He simply said the Second Amendment shouldn't apply to that, since it's a bad idea to get armed men drunk.

Use context before making conclusions.

And again, that Article defends the 14th Amendment by preventing discrimination. It is in the Government's right to enforce equality of birth. Therefore, any action challenging it can and should be illegal.

[tonylee1973]

@nafaidni these issues are more complicated than you are being led to believe. this is why paul said "shouldn't a private business be able to not allow people to enter with guns." if the federal government can enact any regulation on us using the commerce clause we will live in much worse totalitarian society. support for gun control is at an all time low

[tonylee1973]

@nafaidniPaul questioned the last article of the civil rights act. most articles in the civil rights act pertain to laws the state can make and actions the state can take. The last article regulates private entities through the commerce clause. the commerce clause has been used to regulate the flow of goods through out the US.(in commerce) I was using the sale of gun as an example of congress trying to put in place gun control by misusing the commerce clause.

[nafaidni]

That's totally irrelevant. I responded to your claim that progressives called him a racist. I used his lack of assent for the Civil Rights Act to show he appeals to racists.

Why bring up this? This is totally irrelevant. No one even said the word "gun" or "commerce" in this entire comments page until you did.

P.S. The Federal Government definitely needs to regulate gun sales. Not even the majority of Republicans would be against barring felons from buying handguns.

[tonylee1973]

@nafaidni no one questioned it. Paul's concern is not whether a state should be able to make or enforce a law denying equal protection. He's concerned that the Commerce clause is being used outside its intent. For instance, should the commerce clause be used to regulate the buying and selling of guns. You need to listen to the interview very closely. If you want to understand Paul a little better read "Pauls opthalmological crusade" by Ben Smith. Its on politico.

@tonylee1973

Segregation is unconstitutional because of the 14th Amendment, as is Congress' power to stop it. "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws... The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

The Civil Rights Act enforces the 14th Amendment by preventing any individual from being forced from using a service open to public due to their race

I like O'Really, but here he made a huge mistake.

That woman maybe is a racist but she is trying to change.

When whites do the same, they are looked with suspicious.

What we know for sure is She is not color blind at all.

@aynota If you watched O'Reilly you would know he did on Wednesday at the beginning of the show. You're right, it's not evident here, because dishonesty is how the left in this country operates.
