Rachel Maddow and Rand Paul on Desegregation

Rachel Maddow and Rand Paul on Desegregation
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/vp/...2337244354

Rand Paul is the son of Ron Paul, a well known libertarian who has run for president as a third party, no chance candidate. He won the primary election as a "tea party" republican for senate in Kentucky.

Maddow had him on the show to discuss his comments on Civil Liberties. They issue? Should private business be allowed to discriminate against black people? Maddow tries to get a straight answer from him, but he won't. I agree with some points that he makes, mainly that supporting freedom of speech means you support the right for people to say abhorrent things, but that doesn't mean you condone it. However, in this specific discussion, it's about whether privately owned public businesses can discriminate against people who are black and he refuses to answer. He dodges by bringing up gun ownership, which to me shows he thinks the answer is yes but he doesn't want to say it.

How do you feel about this issue? I'm with Maddow on this one.
