Rand Paul is a disgrace for his awful comments made in an attack on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He has not only disgraced himself, but he also has disgraced the state of Kentucky.
Paul will probably become a U.S. senator, and that is a sad commentary on those who will vote for him (and the Republicans and tea baggers who will support him).
Paul is in apology mode right now, but he showed his true ugly colors and has proven that he is not a man who will represent all people if he is willing to essentially support private businesses that would choose to discriminate against black people (he seemed to indicate that it would be OK because they are private businesses.
Rand Paul must strongly be rebuked by Republicans. If the Republicans are too cowardly to stand up to one of their own then how can they claim to be ready to lead this country?
Rachel Maddow, an MSNBC commentator, shredded Paul. The Republicans must do the same for this man, who appears to be seriously flawed.

Paul blabbed his talking points about being opposed to racism, but his unwillingness to answer simple questions spoke far louder than his hollow claims of opposition to racism.
