One more thing you can't call out bigotry and racism and practice it yourself.

I have no issues calling it out as you see it disuse me no matter were it's directed. I think this is what you just don't understand. I would hope all people would recognize it's ill effects within all cultures. Tom may very well be trying in a warped way to point some of it out. But it has the opposite effect and people just turn off on the comment.

He doesn't. Nor do I.

I understand the game perfectly well. It isn't going to work, Dan.
So stop it. Saying a racist redneck is racist isn't racism against rednecks, it's a statement of fact.

What turns people off, is your twisted logic.

Back to the OP. If Rand Paul is sincere, good for him. Somehow, I doubt it. I think he's full of shit.

Anyone here remember when he tried to argue that bigoted business owners have a constitutional right to refuse service to people they don't like? And that laws that prevent them from refusing to serve or hire people based on race, religion or whatever should be stricken down?

To my mind it begs one simple question;

Who cares?

To my mind there is only one answer;

Bigots do.

And, he's courting the support of bigots.

Looks like Rand Paul is playing up to the base of his father. I do not believe he is a viable Presidential candidate but will use the attention to promote libertarian concepts. Just like his father did running for President.

[BlueStreak]

I'm thinking you're on to something, Rajoo. And, I'm thinking once he starts running his mouth during the campaign, he will be even less successful than his father.

Dave it's not a game stereotyping, racism, bigotry, prejudice is bad no matter where it comes from.

I guess with your attitude it's fine if I generalize whole classes of people and use negative condensations all over the board in our discription.

Reference words like Niger, Wetbacks, Greaseballs, Waps spicks, chink, jap honky,cracker, orientals, You name it buddy!!! after all we don't want inequality.

Edit, I was just reminded of a few I forgot, Sand Niger, towl-head and of corse camel jockey, Diego, Mick.
