Wow, at this point I can't tell whether Paul's not-exactly-crypto-racism or old age are doing most of his talking.
And I'd like to suggest that what with the Santorum re-count victory, Paul's nonsense, Gingrich's in-the-news-again divorces and Romney attempting to run against his own healthcare plan, I'm really looking forward to getting some really nice "GOP Self-Destruction Tour 2012" memorabilia.
Not that America really needs a fourth term of Bush II policies, but it beats waking up in the Handmaid's Tale.

CB: In this video, Paul says the main issue of the Civil War was not slavery , but states' rights. This seems to be the original version of Reagnite denial of white supremacy and the Tea Party's "oh, we're not white supremacists, we just don't like Obama's socialist/big federal gov'ment policies".
That "Obama is Bush II" nonsense is getting more and more dangerous, not to mention data-challenged.
