Doesn't playing Rand Paul as a victim of the media just make him look really weak?
Seriously. The guy gave an answer that he truly believes in.
When he was pressured to elaborate, he peed his pants and ran top speed from the spotlight. He cancelled his appearance on Meet the Press, he took no responsibility for his opinion, it was pathetic.
If he was a true leader, wouldn't he stand up for himself instead of blaming the media for HIS OWN answers?
Where are the BALLS in this Tea Party movement??? Can't they find someone who can stand up to a few journalists?

He is weak because he is dreadfully wrong, not because he couldn't stand up to the media. He is on the losing side of History on this one.
No argument will ever be strong enough to convince people that we should go back to segregation.

Well there is such a thing as teaballs, but not in this case, as is the situation with so many purist political and philosophical outlooks, is that when you actually have to answer a question you have a problem.
Because what sounds great and logical when spoken at the front of a classroom, works for sh** in real life.
And can't stand up under even the slightest questioning.

Rand Paul is a man or woman it somewhat is grotesque on the interior. He has the ease to sit down down on his money, his whiteness and his education to banter on television approximately why he's DISCREDITING the 10th area of the civil rights act. That makes it against the regulation for somebody to DISCRIMINATE in a private business enterprise. this could properly be a forty six twelve months previous regulation. He desires to revisit it. except you consult from him immediately. yet once you look in any respect his statements interior the previous. HE would not believe IT. He mentioned he's against racism. He additionally mentioned that's O.ok. for a man or woman to refuse provider to absolutely everyone they p.c. in a private restaraunt and a superb form of golf equipment interior the U.S. try this already. it somewhat is a straw guy argument and racist in nature. human beings bled and died, have been strung up and have been crushed for the ultimate to sit down down at that lunch counter and to have that a FEDERAL regulation that USURPS the possession decision of the business enterprise. that's settled regulation. He disagrees with it. In my e book. IT MAKES HIM A RACIST man or woman, or a now out of the closet racist. He would not think of. he will sing yet another music, yet we see the viper at the back of those massive blue eyes. The viper of a racist. Tea party Hero he must be. Elected he ought to get. he continues to be a racist. it somewhat is a good certainty.

The man gave his opinion which I wholeheartedly agree with.
Namely that racism is wrong, discrimination is wrong, and that government should have no part in either one, and should not allow any government institution to engage in it. But that private industry should be allowed to discriminate using whatever criteria they choose. I can choose not to patronize a place that won't allow bald men entrance. I don't need the government to tell me that I won't spend my money in a restaurant that won't allow Black people to dine. And I don't want Government to tell me that I need to allow white people into my Black Authors Club.
Of course, you would not really stick up for people who are discriminated against, because you have stood at the rope of a nightclub and walked in when the fat girl was left standing outside being told she can't come in because the "Guest list is closed" or that "It's a private party tonight".
I don't see civil right's lawsuits for that, I don't see the social outcry for that. yet fat people are a fecking majority in this country.
So really STFU.

Claiming "I'm a victim of the media" is just another way of saying, "Most people don't like my opinions."

The dude can't give a direct answer to the media. If you can't handle the media, then you can't handle Congress.

So if you truly believe the Hiltler was a stand up guy...it is ok....as long as you say Hitler is a stand up guy.
Great logic there.
