Rand Paul. "Roll back the clock to 1963" - not racist? WTF?

[Warren Stupidity]

I do not give a flying fuck what Rand Paul's ideological justification is for suggesting that we abolish the laws that ended apartheid in our Republic, that suggestion is racist to its core.

1. Of course it is.

There's no question.

5. Well, at least we are now CLEAR on what they mean

when they say "we want to take our Country back." No more guessing.

Rand canceled "Meet the Press" interview - this just makes him look scared and pathetic. MTP is a cakewalk - if he asked Daveid Gregory to avoid the entire controversy, Gregory would likely have complied.


Update: Luke Russert is joining in on the Twitter shaming, channeling his deceased father, the former host of Meet the Press: "Hey Dr. Paul, if you can't answer tough questions how are you going to be able to make tough decisions as a U.S. Senator? -TJR."

3. The Tea Party are the remnants of the 'old order'.

They are still livid that the military was used to integrate the Little Rock Schools.
They are livid that LBJ used the FBI to investigate civil rights violations.

4. Hmmm.

I wonder how this plays in Kentucky.
