Rand Paul may be the media darling right now for he is the face of the Tea Party movement. However, his true colors are about to be exposed. Rand Paul wants to abolish the Federal Reserve, the Department of Education, the Department of Agriculture, the Disability Act, ect.
He also gave an hour long interview to the Louisville Courier Editorial board in which he said that he would allow private businesses to discriminate by race.
Just Wow!
From Politico:

A reader notes that Paul articulated his view on the Civil Rights Act in an interview with the editorial board of the Louisville Courier-Journal (which called his answer (at around 1:00) "repulsive").
Paul explained that he backed the portion of the Civil Rights Act banning discrimination in public places and institutions, but that he thinks private businesses should be permitted to discriminate by race.
"I like the Civil Rights Act in the sense that it ended discrimination in all public domains, and I’m all in favor of that," he said. "I don’t like the idea of telling private business owners...."
Here is the interview and they got it on video too!

I am actually shocked that he would say that.
Jack Conway was on Hardball today BLASTING Rand Paul for being against the Civil Rights act. Chris Matthews who appeared to like Rand Paul was disgusted.
This is going to upset the African-American community (in which I am a part of) as well as the vast majority of Americans.
Expect the Democrats to go after Rand Paul for his extremist views...
