htt p://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/24/AR2010052402991.htmlNot so fast, everybody. Rand Paul can't abruptly disavow the extremist views on civil rights that he's been espousing for years and expect us all to just move along. Was he lying then? Is he lying now? Or has the Tea Party movement's newly crowned Mad Hatter changed his mind?
Republican crisis managers wisely didn't allow Paul to stray within range of the Sunday talk shows, but they can't keep him hidden away in some Kentucky cave until November. Sooner or later, the Senate candidate is going to have to answer a direct question: Was he being untruthful on the occasions when he said the federal government has no authority to outlaw racial discrimination in private businesses such as restaurants? Or is he being untruthful now in claiming he would have voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
Rand will HAVE to have a way to respond to such questions, because I highly doubt he can just escape from this controversy. The MSM won't let him.
Rand continues to get terrible coverage from the most important media sources, so the bleeding clearly hasn't stopped.
