I like Rand, but I disagree. I am to the point that I hate democrats and do not mind screaming and yelling at them. I can, I am ashamed to say, curse fluently in seven languages; I teach democrats some new words when they try to mount their faux-moral high horse
There is a tsunami of hatred for white people. All permitted and encouraged.
no chit sherlock
I live in the ghetto i don’t see it
Rand is ever the optimist but I was surprised by the applause he got for these comments
Has he seen the journalist and online support for the neighbor who assaulted him?
Yeah he has seen it and commented on it...
that's a swamp response. They are so detached from America. And an excellent reason for term limits
There is a hatred by the hard core left toward anything conservative and Christian. There is a hatred by main stream conservatives toward the establishment.
There’s a growth industry in identifying and magnifying social problems that are relatively minor and can easily be overcome by anybody with a willingness to obey the law and get a quality education. Many people realize that. I think that’s what he was thinking of when he said “less hate” although I would have said “less hate than some people are saying” rather than “everybody is saying” because not everybody was saying.
Not everybody gets their talking points and thought processes from the local college professors and Dumbocrat politicians. But give them time, they are working on it.
Ummm...
Rand, you got the crap beat out of you. You got shot at on a ball field. You almost got your ass beat again during the convention.
That's not to mention the constant death threats.
Dude, you don't have to be nice for the sake of being nice...
I actually like Sen Paul. May not agree with him on some things, that’s the way it’s supposed to be, but he’s always appeared rather consistent to me.
However, I think he’s dead a$$ wrong about the hatred. Because I hate a lot of people and things.
I hate that no matter if the Right/Republicans....WIN. We still lose. President Donald Trump did amazing things with our immigration and visa system. Could have done more with some help. Didn’t get any. But I F*CKING HATE the fact that I still have to pay for illegals. I HATE the fact that the Left and the Assistant Democrats have allowed the fallacy of BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP to take hold and we all have to pay for it.
That’s just one of many things I HATE. But at the end of the day it all boils down to the Left...in all its forms, Democrats, RINOs, GOPe, Chamber of Commerce and all the bad things those groups heap upon us.
Rand is trying to counter the Liberal argument that the other side the Right are a bunch of “Haters” and I understand what he’s trying to say.
“Hate” as I see it heck I was once a “Hater” in my youth for sure dabbled in Anti-Semitism but I was also very much a lover of adult beverages and I would sometimes drink myself to the ground throwing up at a young age 12 or so.
Got religion to to dry out and understand the Higher Power’s relationship to the Jewish people but good sobriety in my life was decades away.
A “Hater” to me is a drunk who isn’t sober my experience.
Rand is tying “Hate” to the political debate.
The Left wants to scare the stuff out of their voters and the people in the middle so they vote in fear of all the “Hate” out there.
This is political speech making fine with me.
Absolutely no shame in being able to curse fluently in 7 languages. I’m jealous.
I can only curse in one. Do a pretty good job of it. Even get yelled at on FR once in a while for it.
The flames of hatred are being fanned by DemocRats.
Go into a starbucks wearing a TRUMP hat, see what kind of crazy comes out of people.
What I DO see, is footage on TV and the interwebs, undoubtedly taken in left coast cities, by left coast people, overdubbed by left coast technicians, curated to make whites/asians/blacks et al think whites/blacks/asians et al hate them and visa versa. Why, here is a picture of one of these provocateurs.

Satan laughing, spreads his wings.
Is there anger and evil? Of course. Are there racists? You bet.
Is it as deep as the MSM wants you to believe? (80MM+ Trump voters spanning all races, denominations, etc cry out in unison) NFW.
I suspect the response was because each individual there wanted it to be obvious that THEY did not hate. That’s probably what came across.
