Ron Paul Accuses Chris Matthews of Making Him Look Racist by Bringing Up Civil Rights Act
Last year, MSNBC and other so-called "news" outlets mercilessly attacked Kentucky Senatorial candidate Rand Paul for giving an honest libertarian answer to Rachel Maddow concerning the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
On Friday's "Hardball," Chris Matthews tried the same tactic on Paul's father Ron, but the elder Texas Congressman was ready for the question and ended up making the host look rather silly for asking it (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Let me ask you. The `64 civil rights bill --
REPRESENTATIVE RON PAUL (R-TEXAS): Total -- total --
MATTHEWS: The `64 civil rights bill, do you think an employer, a guy who runs his shop down in Texas or anywhere has a right to say, if you`re black, you don`t come in my store?
Readers are reminded that last May, Matthews' colleague Rachel Maddow asked a similar question during her interview with Paul's son Rand. When he gave an honest, libertarian answer, the media pounced on him as a racist.
This of course included MSNBC which did segment after segment attacking Rand leading him to tell a Louisville radio station, "I need to be very careful about going on certain networks that seem to have a bias."
Clearly aware of what this pathetic excuse for a "news" network did to his son last year, Ron was ready, willing, and able to parry the blow:
PAUL: Well, I believe --
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: That was the right under -- that was the libertarian right before `64. Was it the better society?
PAUL: I believe -- I believe that property rights should be protected.
Your -- your right to be on TV is protected by property rights, because somebody owns that station. I can`t walk into your station. So, right of freedom of speech is protected by property. The right of your church is protected by property.
So, people should honor and protect it. This gimmick, Chris, it`s just -- it`s off the wall when you, I`m for property rights and states` rights; therefore, I`m a racist. I mean, that`s just outlandish.
MATTHEWS: No. I`m just asking you --
(CROSSTALK)
PAUL: Wait. Wait, Chris. Wait, Chris.
People who -- let`s say that law was there, and you could do that. Who`s going to do it? What idiot would do that? What idiot would do that?
MATTHEWS: Everybody was in the South. I saw the white -- I saw the "white only" signs driving through the South in college. Of course they did it. You remember them doing it.
PAUL: Oh, yes, yes. Yes, but I also know that the Jim Crow laws were illegal, and we got rid of them under that same law. And that`s all good.
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: Right. Well, you would have voted against that law.
PAUL: Pardon me?
MATTHEWS: You would have voted against that law. You wouldn`t have voted for the `64 civil rights bill.
PAUL: Yes, but not in -- I wouldn`t vote against getting rid of the Jim Crow laws.
(CROSSTALK)
See where this is going?
As NewsBusters has been reporting for months, MSNBC's goal is to make every Republican presidential candidate look racist.
With 9 percent unemployment, $4 gasoline, rising food costs and plummeting housing prices, Barack Obama's cheerleaders know they're going to have to get the public's attention off the economy for him to get reelected.
The answer: make every contender a racist, and the man that gets a thrill up his leg at the mere mention of the name "Obama" is more than willing to do his part:
MATTHEWS: But you would have voted for the -- you know you -- oh, come on. Honestly, Congressman, you were not for the `64 civil rights bill.
PAUL: Because -- because of the property rights element, not because it got rid of the Jim Crow law.
MATTHEWS: Right. The guy who owns a bar says, no blacks allowed, you say that`s fine.
PAUL: No, Chris, you`re demagoguing it now. You know that isn`t what I`m saying.
MATTHEWS: No, I`m asking a question.
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: Well, what`s the answer? What`s your answer?
(CROSSTALK)
PAUL: You know, segregation was created by government laws. Slavery was created by government laws. Segregation --
MATTHEWS: Oh.
PAUL: Let me go.
Let me -- segregation in the military by government laws. So, what we want to do, as libertarians, is repeal all of those laws and honor and respect people with --
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: OK. Look, I have seen this.
(CROSSTALK)
PAUL: But for you to imply -- for you to imply that a property rights` person is endorsing that stuff, you don`t understand that there would be zero signs up today saying something like that.
And, if they did, they would be an idiot and they would out of business. So, I think you`re just getting overboard in order to try to turn it around and --
MATTHEWS: No, I`m not. I`m asking it. I`m talking about facts.
PAUL: -- try to accuse somebody of being a racist.
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: I`m not calling anybody a racist. I`m saying the laws are racist.
(CROSSTALK)
PAUL: Yes. That`s what you`re implying. That`s what you`re implying, Chris.
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: I once knew a laundromat when I was in the Peace Corps training in Louisiana, in Baker, Louisiana. A laundromat had this sign on it in glaze, "whites only" on the laundromat, just to use the laundromat machines.
This was a local shop saying no blacks allowed. You say that should be legal.
PAUL: That`s -- that`s ancient history. That`s ancient history. That`s over and done with.
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: Because it`s been outlawed.
PAUL: Segregation on buses and all was done by law. So it was a culture. That`s over and done with, Chris.
Why do you want to go back to ancient days and ancient history? It`s past.
MATTHEWS: Because you want to come back --
(CROSSTALK)
PAUL: It`s past. And nobody is advocating it.
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: You`re running for president -- because you`re running for president as a libertarian. Believe me, we don`t need laws to protect people.
PAUL: Well, look, you are concocting and you`re reading much more into it, and you`re trying to imply certain beliefs that I don`t have. And I think you`re wrong. I think you`re wrong.
MATTHEWS: No. I think you`re a libertarian. I think you`re a total libertarian. I think you`re a total libertarian. I think that is what is appealing about you. And I think people like you.
PAUL: And you`re doing it deliberately.
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: You know why they like you? They want to live in a simpler society.
(CROSSTALK)
PAUL: The comparison to being a total libertarian is believing in liberty vs. being a totalitarian.
(LAUGHTER)
PAUL: So, if you want the opposite, just look around. That`s what we have. We have a totalitarian world. That`s what most of history has been about, totalitarianism, dictatorship.
MATTHEWS: I know.
PAUL: We have only had a small taste of freedom of choice and the principle of private property --
MATTHEWS: OK.
PAUL: -- and contract rights. And we`re blowing it.
MATTHEWS: OK.
PAUL: So, this -- this whole thing that we`re going to give up on that, what we`re doing is trying to emphasize that something good and wonderful comes from freedom --
MATTHEWS: Right. OK.
PAUL: -- and freedom of choice, and that we should not say this, that -- that liberty is disgusting, as you imply, and totalitarian should be the way we run our country.
MATTHEWS: No, I`m not. I`m asking -- you`re answering your own questions.
PAUL: I think that`s absurd.
I may not support many of Paul's views, but I sure like the way he handled this Obama-loving sycophant!
Bravo, Ron! Bravo!

Good point. Plus in many cases Jim Crow was state-enforced segregation. It was a violation of the property rights of store owners to cater equally to blacks and whites as they saw fit. That was Paul's point and Chris damn well knows that Jim Crow enforced under penalty of law a social prejudice not everyone in the South shared. Maybe many of them did, but not all.
For what it's worth, I think the 14th Amendment gives ample ground to Congress to pass civil rights acts and bar discrimination in public accomodations like restaurants and hotels and the like and I wish Rep. Paul argued the same.
But I see no evidence Paul is a racist nor is there any good reason to pick hypothetical fights over the Civil Rights Act other than to paint him as an enabler of racists. Matthews should be ashamed of himself.

Submitted by motherbelt on Sat, 05/14/2011 - 10:36am.
I realize this is probably nit-picking, but Matthews says:
Everybody was [segregating] in the South. I saw the white -- I saw the "white only" signs driving through the South in college.
If Chris graduated from college in 1967, he was in college from 1963-67. He attended in Worcester, Massachusetts (Holy Cross), so why would he be driving through the south in those years?
Also, he claims he saw a "whites only" sign on a laundromat, while he was training in Louisiana for the Peace Corps. That would have been in '67 or '68; he served in the Peace Corps from 1968-1970.
Granted, the info is from Wikipedia, but I can't see why someone would post incorrect info about his dates of education etc.; that seems pretty pointless.
Is Matthews having imaginative memories to embellish his story, like Bill Clinton, who claimed to remember churches burning in Arkansas when he was a kid?

She came back after a while and told my Mom that she was only able to half the laundry and that she could not do the dark load. My Mom asked her why and my cousin Pat said "Aunt Teresa, I got to the laundromat and the sign said "Whites Only", so that was the only load I did."

services of governments which were financed by citizen paid taxes and that BLACKS who also paid taxes in Mississippi and Alabama should be allowed to use these accomodations if they had the money to spend...the lunch counter...the city bus..the hotel....etc..AM I Correct here ??
Also..how absolute are property rights?? Can I construct a lead smelter or a smelly rendering plant

And somebody needs to throw back in that little snit's face about the Boston busing riots in 1975 (long after the South was desegregated) and George Wallace actually carrying the city of Boston in the 1976 Mass primary (though he finished 3rd statewide).

What a child.
Well, wait a minute. As others have pointed out, Matthews is a Yankee, which means he's all about messing around in other people's states and businesses and so forth, while doing nothing about what goes on in his backyard. So I guess it's only *Southerners* he thinks will instantly start taking up the white sheets again, because we're all so stupid and ignorant and so on.

Paul vs. Cain... Really?
Submitted by Hillbilly Genius on Sun, 05/15/2011 - 7:47am.
To those that believe the GOP hype and say Paul is not electable, you need a wake-up call really bad. The reason GOP backers keep saying this is they fear what Paul would do to their back and forth system of fellatio between Dems and the GOP. It would end and politicians would lose a lot of power they never should have had. Ya'll need to look into the debates Paul has had on Youtube. In my humble opinion, he's never lost a debate and even the left wing libtards have to side with his common sense reasoning. They just simply cannot argue past his 1+1=2 simplicity on a person's liberties. As far as Herman "The wolf in sheep's clothing" Cain, yeah he might have a few good ideas but remember his career. He was the former Chair of the Federal Reserve Bank which is not only operating unconstitutionally but responsible for destroying our economy. Newsbusters does a lot of good by exposing liberal media bias but if you're only willing to show the left's side and not the GOP's side then you are only seeing half truths. And by the way, Fox News is just as guilty of trying to convince the people that Paul is not electable even if it meant we'd get rid of Obama. GOP is afraid of Obama but they are terrified of Paul. To me, that says a lot about why he should be elected.

By branding Paul, "Godfather" of the Tea Party, they can take this through the Presidential Campaign and brand the Tea Party what they've tried all along, "Racist" and "Nuts"....and with Paul attached, it will work.
