Palin: Rand Paul "woulda marched with MLK," calls Maddow a "tv character with an agenda"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

It's all in the clip I just posted. I cross-posted it hear because...understandably...many of you can't stomach watching her.

:toast:

1. I have a strange feeling Rand Paul would have been one of the guys on the sidewalk yelling ni***r...

at MLK.

[Raspberry]

17. He was 2 or 3 in 1964

Robert Byrd, on the other hand, was a senator who FILIBUSTERED the Civil Rights Act. What's your point???

[The Magistrate]

18. And What Is Your Point, Ma'am?

[Raspberry]

19. My point, sir,

is that we have no idea what Paul Rand would have done faced with that situation, but we know very well what Robert Byrd did.

I really hate stupid baseless accusations--no matter who the target.

[Arkana]

23. Who was talking about Robert Byrd?

The topic of this thread is Rand Paul.

Methinks you protest a bit too much.

[The Magistrate]

27. The Problem With That Tired Wheeze You have Trotted Out, Ma'am

Is that Paul is saying in the present day he does not believe the Federal government has the authority to make dicrimination unlawful, if it is done by a property owner, and maintains this on grounds that would prevent Federal laws against child labor, enforcing a minimum wage, collective bargaining, safety regulations, and a whole host of other items. That makes what Paul says on the subject a live issue, a matter for the present day, and present concern, unlike the actions forty-five years ago of a man now very old. The fact is that the line of argument used by Paul on the subject was very common among actual opponenets of the Civil Rights Act; no person at the time who pressed that line of argument supported the passage of the Act. It is therefore a very reasonable inference that Paul, had he been called upon, would have voted against the passage of the Civil Rights Act, in company with those who pressed the argument he mantains today. The idea that he would have been an activist for civil rights is nonesense; in the present day he has had plenty of opportunities to make a name for himself in that regard, and has signally failed to do so....

20. Rand Paul has personally said he opposed the civil rights act also.

[Arkana]

22. Defending Rand Paul, are you?

Do you believe that businesses should have the right to refuse service to blacks/Asians/Jews/gays/whatever?

[Raspberry]

24. Absolutely not

The point is that whoever said he would have been shouting racial epithets really doesn't know what he "would have done." If he'd been old enough to have an opinion. And if he'd been there. Etc.

On the other hand, Robert Byrd WAS there, and he had the power to vote aye or nay, and he CHOSE to filibuster. Historical fact. Not speculation. HISTORICAL FACT.

[The Magistrate]

28. No, Ma'am: You Are Defending Paul. Not Speculation; Self-Evident Fact....

And using a standard right-wing attack line in dong so.

[tekisui]

30. I don't understand what Byrd has to do with Paul's run.

Is it that a racist can win a Senate seat?

[tularetom]

2. I despise her so much I wouldn't watch if she was speaking nekkid

Course I could always mute the TV. :shrug:

OK I take that back, it isn't watching her that bothers me, it's hearing that fucking awful voice.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

4. The worst part in this particular clip...

...was when she described what she believed to be Rachel Maddow's quest for "the perfect GOTCHA moment," and when she said the word "GOTCHA," you could almost hear the steam escaping from her ASS.

:rofl:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. nails? meet chalkboard.

with a digitally enhanced amplification system guaranteed to set your teeth on edge.

[Initech]

3. Palin *IS* a TV character.

[HipChick]

5. Palin is a cartoon character who can't go on any network except Faux..in case she gets asked

an actual question..

[Initech]

16. Wiley Coyote vs. The Road Runner

[Iggo]

10. Exactly. Palin is a TV character. Maddow has a real job. (n/t)

[Liberal In Texas]

12. Projection.

Because Ms. Half-Gov. is a TV character with an agenda.

[tanyev]

6. I was just thinking it had been too long since the last gibberish eruption from Mt. Shyster.

[TlalocW]

7. By his own admission, Rand Paul would march with MLK, JR....

Depending on whether the march was to get rid of segregation in government or in private businesses. The former, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say, yes, he would. The latter, no.

TlalocW

[Warren Stupidity]

13. Benefit of the doubt?

He is a freaking libertarian, so the government is not supposed to be doing anything much other than the army that would require integration, for example no public schools.

Benefit of the doubt? He is a fancier of theocracy, which he somehow manages to wedge into his bullshit libertarianism.

Why do we insist on bending over backwards to find some excuse for not calling Randy what he his: a racist idiot?

[Bitwit1234]

9. I think Paul got it wrong he is a cartoon character with an agenda

to try to get people to like TEA.

[11 Bravo]

11. If MLK stands for Mississippi Lifelong Klansman, she's probably correct.

[Warren Stupidity]

14. Born January 7, 1963.

I'm thinking not.

[MrScorpio]

15. Rand Paul is Buddha!

No, he's Jesus...

No, he's MLK...

Wait, Rand Paul is really a S'More of all three!

[Arkana]

21. If Rachel is a TV character, Sarah Palin is a cartoon character.

She is just worthless in every sense.

[opihimoimoi]

25. Me thinks he woulda marched with those white hooded dudes

[Brother Buzz]

26. Can't Rand Paul speak for himself?

Oh I forgot, he thinks he's on a honeymoon.

[marmar]

29. I am so f**king sick of this woman I don't know what to do......
