Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Rand Paul: Obama's criticism of BP 'un-American'

It is interesting to note how Rand Paul is now complaining that the media is distorting his message whilst purposefully avoiding any situation where he might be obligated to clarify his message.

He'd deserve more respect if he were to just come out and say "Yes, I think businesses have the right to discriminate against anyone they choose and that includes white owned busineesses refusing to serve minorities." He knows that the more familiar people get with his actual positions the less likely it is that he gets elected. This kind of sums up the libertarian position in general: the less you know about the specifics, the better it seems.
