In reply to the discussion: The Inanity of Rand Paul's quote on Ferguson, MO.. [View all]Dark n Stormy Knight
(9,760 posts)54. Not a problem for him, Cha.
He's had a lot of practice talk out of both sides of his mouth. For instance, his doubletalk--not to mention outright lies--about his opinion of the Civil Rights Act.
Bob Cull at Americans Against the Tea Party recently wrote a piece about a Rachel Maddow segment in which she replayed a previous interview in which, after much effort on her part to extract the truth, he admitted believing that the Act had over-reached by forbidding open-to-the-public businesses to reject African-American customers.
In the fashion for which he has become famous, Paul danced around the issue saying that he supported nine tenths of the law...
But finally admitted to Maddow that he doesn't support that part.
Cull says Maddow then played a clip from Paul's recent interview with NBCs Casey Hunt...
...in which he looked her straight in the eye and lied.
You noted in your speech you support the Civil Rights Act, Hunt said. But specifically, do you think that private businesses should be allowed to discriminate based on race?
Predictably, Paul replied with a terse, No.
So youve changed from when you said before you were concerned about that title? She asked.
I never said before, Paul lied.
