Dinesh D'Souza had views on discrimination which are similar to Rand Paul's
Edited on Sat May-22-10 09:32 AM by LoZoccolo
In the private sector, we should be more flexible in dealing with rational discrimination. I think the campaign to go after cabdrivers for alleged bigotry is especially foolish. Of course, as a “person of color” myself, I’d be annoyed and indignant if I could not get a taxi. Yet my right to get a cab, which is the right not to be inconvenienced, seems less important than the cabdriver’s right to protect his life and property. In cases such as this, it is better for the government to do nothing.

The Republicans are trying to protect their brand by dismissing Rand Paul's views as being on the fringe, but I think we'll find more examples of it being more prevalent than they'd now like to admit. With some more digging, I think we'll find more with which to attack them now that this issue is in the forefront.

1. Dinesh D'Souza, way too late in his life, is gonna realize what a tool he's been for the right.
That will be a very, very sad day for him indeed.

D'Souza--does the name David Brock ring a bell? He's become richer and more famous by calling out the bullshit rather than perpetuating it. But you just keep on keepin' on, tool.

3. It's been a common view on the intellectual Right for a very long time.
It just hasn't gotten much political attention until now.

4. D'Souza is a dumbass blowhard
It is slightly amusing that the level of right wing nuttery extends to having guys like D'Souza defending the rights of white people to discriminate against him personally. What a world!
