Maybe Rand is following in Al Gores fathers footsteps…Als dad voted AGAINST the Civil Rights bill.

You might start by looking at the headline:

I still can’t find where Doug called Rand a racist. He did say Rand defends racism through belief the government has no right in private business.
“people have the power to etc” give me a break … sure they do but does it happen? why do people always seem to play the “magic” card and say QED

GL and Mm, you are more interested in promoting the malevolent left than in open discussion. It’s interesting that you both apply generalizations to “church goers” the same way racists apply them to “other races.” Need I remind you that the fight to outlaw the international slave trade was begun by church goers in England (Wilberforce), abolitionists were church goers, and the civil rights movement was lead by church goers. People who promote bigotry and prejudice can call themselves Christians, but I can call myself President of the United States, that doesn’t make it true. Also, some evidence to back up your claims would help next time.
Now for Mr. Paul’s comments. While not the most politically wise thing to say I give him credit for speaking his beliefs. Only the dumbest of businessmen would deny service to minorities. If I had a friend who was turned away because they were a minority I would take my business elsewhere. Has anyone noticed the boycott of Arizona businesses?

That was kind of the joke, his smearing is so egregious he should fire himself out of personal shame.

Worth repeating…

The real main stream is fed up.

Well he won’t be fired, since it’s his site, but his credibility wanes. There’s a grudge here that hasn’t been fully aired. Not that it matters much.

Pop also said you’re known by the company you keep, so choose your friends wisely.

Have a good day, sir.

Indeed, it seems America still isn’t up to the task of actually thinking beyond sound bites and simplistic spin.

While we pretend we want honesty, transparency and accountability in Washington, all we really want is the comfortable and familiar ages-old divisive rhetoric; not true systemic change, but merely a changing of the guard.

As we see with both father and son, the truth may set you free, but it won’t make you any friends in Washington.
