Please post quotes from either Paul that are racist. Examples: "black people are the scum of the Earth" or "White is right and uhh brown makes us uhh frown?"




Hint: opposing federal involvement in private industry does not make one a racist.
 
Come on man. Baby, bathwater, etc. It's not like being perfect is a congressional requirement.

Defending the mistake only gives the person relying on your patronage less reason to modify what is, as I'm sure you would agree if honesty were possible for you, a rather despicable and increasingly untenable position.
 
I don't believe that Rand Paul is racist.

But I think a lot of folks defending him on Offtopic.com are.
 
Not exactly. He supports free speech, and the right of free association. Sometimes racists will use that to their advantage, but it has nothing to with racism itself. I doubt he would support racism in any context.
 
When... or because of?

Also, was the statement true, or false? When the blacks picked up their welfare checks, was order restored? Regardless of implication of causality; true or false?
 
"Rail as they will about 'discrimination,' women are simply not endowed by nature with the same measures of single-minded ambition and the will to succeed in the fiercely competitive world of Western capitalism." (syndicated column, 11/22/83) [Women are not a race. There is nothing racist in this comment.]

Buchanan, who opposed virtually every civil rights law and court decision of the last 30 years, published FBI smears of Martin Luther King Jr. as his own editorials in the St. Louis Globe Democrat in the mid-1960s. "We were among Hoover's conduits to the American people," he boasted (Right from the Beginning, p. 283). [He opposed the socialist views of King. Just like the FBI smears of King had to do with his politics, not because he was black.]

Trying to justify apartheid in South Africa, he denounced the notion that "white rule of a black majority is inherently wrong. Where did we get that idea? The Founding Fathers did not believe this." (syndicated column, 2/7/90) He referred admiringly to the apartheid regime as the "Boer Republic": "Why are Americans collaborating in a U.N. conspiracy to ruin her with sanctions?" (syndicated column, 9/17/89) [His statement here is that there nothing inherently evil about any group of ethnicity ruling over another ethnicity, nor is there is anything inherently good about an ethnic group ruling over the same ethnic group. In short, race doesn't matter.]

"If we had to take a million immigrants in, say Zulus, next year, or Englishmen, and put them up in Virginia, what group would be easier to assimilate and would cause less problems for the people of Virginia?" ("This Week With David Brinkley," 1/8/91) [This is about language and cultural integration, not about race.]

Writing of "group fantasies of martyrdom," Buchanan challenged the historical record that thousands of Jews were gassed to death by diesel exhaust at Treblinka: "Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody." (New Republic, 10/22/90) Buchanan's columns have run in the Liberty Lobby's Spotlight, the German-American National PAC newsletter and other publications that claim Nazi death camps are a Zionist concoction. [He has also written extensively on the evil regime of Hitler and the Holocaust. Challenging a single historical record does not imply racism, Nazism, etc.]

In his September 1993 speech to the Christian Coalition, Buchanan declared: "Our culture is superior. Our culture is superior because our religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free." (ADL Report, 1994) [This has nothing to do with race. He's speaking about religious values and his view of Western culture - which has nothing to do with race.]

In a 1977 column urging a "thrashing" of gay groups, Buchanan wrote: "Homosexuality is not a civil right. Its rise almost always is accompanied, as in the Weimar Republic, with a decay of society and a collapse of its basic cinder block, the family." (New Republic, 3/30/92) [Sexuality has nothing to do with race.]
 
His name is certainly attached to it. Did he actually sign his name? No one knows but the people that were there.
 
When I get home from work, I could dig through your posts and see.

I never knew "minority" was a race. Aren't women a minority? Aren't gays a minority? Aren't white men expected to be a minority in the future?
