Ron Paul Tells Chris Matthews He Favors Enforcement of No-Blacks Covenants in Deeds?
Not sure I believe this...
UPDATE: Yep: It's twue! It's twue! Ron Paul's American utopia: enforcing covenants that property cannot be sold to Black people, and having the police pull Black people out of stores where the proprietor does not welcome them:
Paul says he would have opposed 1964 Civil Rights Act - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room: Michael O'Brien: Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) suggested Friday that he wouldn't have voted in favor of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.... MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews pressed Paul during a TV appearance on whether he would have voted against the '64 law, a landmark piece of legislation that took strides toward ending segregation.... Paul... explained that he would have opposed the Civil Rights Act "because of the property rights element, not because they got rid of the Jim Crow laws."...
"This gimmick, it's off the wall when you say I'm for property rights and for states rights, and therefore I'm a racist," said the Texas congressman. "That's just outlandish."
Paul appealed to the free market, and argued that if a business owner were to post signs declaring segregation in his or her business, people wouldn't patronize it...
As I say, we need a very different opposition party than the Republican Party we have now...
