The Fox Special Report panel was talking about Paul’s comments on the Civil Rights Act, and how he suggested that he agreed with it as it applied to government but disapproved of restrictions on private enterprise. The Fox panel was all huffy about this. Paul’s comments make sense to me, but are a lot of people offended by this? And what difference does it make? No one’s going to try to repeal the Civil Rights Act.
Were we watching the same panel?
Kristol said it was no big deal. Mara is Mara and I have no clue as to what she was jabbering about but it didn’t seem huffy at all.
The only one huffy was Kraut, kind of sort of.
I think it is manufactured contraversy. No one really believes Paul would repeal the civil rights act and those who suggest it is so or feed the mock liberal outraged should be ashamed. There are a lot of things in the act that were not within the scope of the federal government to regulate and it set the path for the identity politics rot that is being used to strip away our rights to choose with whom and what behaviors we will associate with. Rand should just stop responding to this and just leave it and call it a ridiculous attack which is what it is.
