He was right to pull out. The lib media isn’t really interested in anything other than misrepresenting his stance to make him look like a racist. When Rachel Maddow has to point out his stance is being misrepresented (which she did to the NYT), you know there is a prob.

Yes, the last thing a politician should do is go on national tv to express his views and lay out his platform. I don’t recall Rachel saying Paul is a racists. I also didn’t hear her ask him if he’d fight to repeal the Civil Rights Act. That was simply his standard answer to a question that was never asked by Rachel. He clearly stated that he had a problem with one of the 10 titles of the Civil Rights Act. He doesn’t think government has the right to tell private businesses that they can not discriminate, which is odd considering that the Civil Rights Act was passed to stop discrimination. It took him almost 15 minutes to state that he doesn’t believe in public or private discrimination. He then pivoted and started talking about Second Amendment rights. Huh? Like the GOP he’s good at talking out of both sides of his mouth while not answering questions. If you follow his logic, the government doesn’t have the right to tell store owners that they can’t sell cigarettes or alcohol to minors because it discriminates against them. Is that discrimination or good government regulation? Quite the conundrum. Run and Hide Rand, Run and Hide!

Waaaaahhhh. It’s all the media’s fault! What kind of loser can’t go on a damn talk show and explain himself?

Americans don’t like quitters or those who cancel at the last minute.

That didn’t work out well for McCain when he left Letterman hanging high and dry.

If that’s true Michelle, then Paul should have the balls to go on MTP and explain exactly how and why his statements are being misinterpreted.

But not only does he not have those balls, but they’re being held in a jar by Turdblossom, who clearly believes that allowing Paul to speak will only dig his grave deeper.

Let’s face it, the GOP has a long-term problem with racism (which has long-term electoral implications in a country slowly getting browner), and it appears their strategy is to muzzle the troops to prevent them from letting their true beliefs emerge.

Yea, connect Rove with Paul. Indies will just love that.

Rand Paul is Sarah Palin in a Suit…Dumb Racist bastards!!!!

If you saw MTP this morning you saw David Gregory interrupt Senator Cornyn a gazillion times and let Sen Menendez ramble on and on without interruption. Rand Paul was right not to go on with Gregory. David is a dem hack, biased clymer, who doesn’t deal in facts or reality, just democrat propaganda.

NBC is terrible and David is ruining MTP. I look forward to the day it slips out of number one and tanks to the bottom of the barrel.

Rand Paul’s particular problem with the civil rights of ’64 has to do with keeping government from meddling with private business. Though this doesn’t make him a racist, and he should not be branded as such, (we shouldn’t throw that word around nearly so casually as we do) it does make him naive and unqualified to govern. The view that his position is taken upon is also the basis of his dislike for the people with disabilities act. (He doesn’t think government has the right to FORCE a business to be handicap accessible.) In his view, private business should not be hampered at all by the government. Of course, we see that this leads to absolute corruption when government allows businesses to operate with oversight or regulation. Nothing could make people like him happier to go back to the simple times of having only 13 states and an agricultural economy. His main problem, really, is that we don’t live in those times. Government needs to govern and govern well, and there is an imperative for there to be a climate of social equity. It’s called civilization. The broad needs of civilization trumps the privileges of capitalism, every time. To allow Woolworth’s to not serve people of color is to allow and tolerate any place for that sort of behavior in our society …and it is proven to be detrimental to the society when and where it does. This is also the problem with the new laws in Arizona and the attitude that manifests in the legislation. The petty and vindictive nature of the attitude is shown when Arizona threatens retaliations for the disapproval that people have a right to express in a real free and open society. This legislation fosters a place for xenophobia to take root and thrive …and xenophobia is like kudzu. It’s nature is all consuming.

Private business shouldn’t be exempt in any possible way to let them continue with racist behavior. Stop being such damn small-government fundamentalists to the point where you actually end up defend racism, despite how much you claim to not be racist. There’s a reason why we’re a nation of laws. Without laws, people do crazy shit – including openly discriminate against other people. The United States is not an anarchic state. We don’t live in caves and hit each other with clubs.

Wait, I thought Teabagger Paul told MTP he was “exhausted?
So Karl Rove told him he was exhausted?
The man doesn’t know when he is tired, he needs to be informed?
Or was the whole excuse just bullsh*t?

Tune in for the answers to these and other important questions on our next exciting episode of “Teabagger Island”.

No wonder Paul weaseled out of “Meet the Press”, Paul’s career would be over in half an hour of wacky libertarian “no government in the private sector” nonsense were he to appear on “Meet the Press”, “Face the Nation” or “This week.”

“Ayn” Rand Paul like Palin will be forever exclusively relegated to the Fox News/ The Glorious Official GOP Propaganda Network for Gullible Republicans catching slow-pitched softball, pre-screened questions.

And like Palin, maybe Paul can collect Rupert Murdock’s wingnut welfare with a book deal and paid sponsorship on Faux News/GOP TV.

Rand Paul, you are a PUSSY!
