Rand Paul will be on Maddow tonight

[PatriotOne]

You actually took yours off?

After 3 yrs of continuous wear, it needed to be washed. It hasn't even dried yet though...it's still damp

 

[JK/SEA]

Having seen the whole thing, I feel that the only people who will really care about this will be the hardcore Dems who wouldn't have voted for Rand anyway. They'll try to make an issue out of this, but I feel that the people in Kentucky aren't that stupid.

Agree 100%. And not only that, Rand was as cool as can be, and answered with an expertly presented, and concise tone.

He did well. Geez, what do you expect from Maddow anyway?...good job Rand.

 

[Mini-Me]

It seems like Rand went on the Maddow show low on sleep and ill-prepared for a hostile interview. He might not have been expecting such loaded questions today, and I hope he learned a valuable lesson about keeping his own bullet proof vest on. :-/ He'll live to fight another day at least...he just needs to always remember that he's off the map, and "here be monsters."

 

[zach]

the interview sucked on her part. it's not rand's fault that she couldn't ask a variety of better questions.

 

[itshappening]

This is just the same crap Grayson tried and failed with many issues

This election is not going to be about the civil rights act or whatever else the left dreams up. This election wont be about whether Iran is a threat to the US whatever else the Neocons think

This election will be a referendum on Obama, debt, cap and trade, healthcare and immigration

Whenever Rand is asked about the civil rights act, he should not answer the question and simply talk about something else: "I prefer to discuss the debt and our fiscal issues, did you know that.... " Cable programs are limited for time and have to move on

 

[Cowlesy]

Why don't we all take a step back, take a deep breath, and use this as a teaching moment on the internet tubes.

We have very bad habit of being given a lemon, cutting it open and squirting it in each other's eyes, instead of making lemonade.

He stuck on the principle of a business owner having control of his business, and that our speech can trump the speech of a business owner via boycotting a business with a policy like segregation.

i haven't seen the video yet, but it doesn't sound like I'm going to enjoy it much

Having said that, I think it's better he states his positions now and faces up to the attacks and works for the next 6 months defending it to the Kentucky voters which would give him enough time to educate and elucidate better his views rather than getting attacked late in the game and having no time to work with. This may be better than we think (I hope)

 

[Romulus]

Yep.

.."just as I do not support people saying racist things, but would not have them arrested for doing so. People have the right to be racist, but others have the right to avoid associations with racists."

You know, I was just thinking that very thing.

Since the whole "racist!" squeal from the left has been steadily losing its punch, I have a feeling more people will actually HEAR Rand's explanation of his position. Which, in turn, will hurt the left's ability to get any points from squealing "racist" in the future.

WAY better that the left did this NOW while Rand has ample time to address it than closer to November.

I'm about half way through it and it isn't going too bad yet. I don't get why everyone is freaking out. He isn't talking in sound bites and shes getting annoyed, its fairly obvious at this point she wanted this to be a hit piece.

Yes. She raised her voice, when he made his point about private property rights. She was literally aghast when Rand told her.

 

[j6p]

not too bad, more of a history lesson.

 

[Don't Tread on Mike]

i seriously almost cried after watching that. how can people be that stupid! You did good Rand, and I pray this turns around and works positively for you.

 

[Flash]

Yes. She raised her voice, when he made his point about private property rights. She was literally aghast when Rand told her.

Towards the ending when she says, "Just answer yes or no" makes it clear she wanted this to be in a Conway commercial.

They will try and play the son against the father at some point...

Thanks. Wow, after watching that, it was pretty clear that Rachel had her marching orders for the interview.

 

[JoshLowry]

"Do we have private property ownership in America?"

Rand Paul just took a huge bite of one of the biggest issues I can think of.

 

[Bergie Bergeron]

Allowing businesses to discriminate based on race infringes on the rights of a group of people, doesn't it?

 

[CoreyBowen999]

No. Since when is buying things from any company you want a right?
