Paul Defends Holding Victory Party at Country Club


In an interview on ABC News, Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul (R) defended holding his primary celebration at a private country club arguing that golf and country clubs aren't exclusive anymore because people like Tiger Woods brought golf to "cities and to city youth."

1. fatcat RepubliBagger elite

surprise

mpt

ya gotta wonder whether the Teabagger puppetmasters got in 18 holes before the celebration

[havocmom]

3. Hell, we should give him points for honesty on this one

:evilgrin:

[blondeatlast]

22. But that would render the aPaulogists argument that daddy's not a racist

false on the surface.

Because it only took Daddy Paul what, FIFTEEN years to figure out his name was on a xenophobic, racist rag? Can't blame Daddy or Rand for that...

[gateley]

2. "...people like Tiger Woods..." I can't believe he said that. I mean, I do believe it,

but I'm surprised he was that blatant.

10. and the city youth

Code words for "them darkies."

[gateley]

23. Exactly -- but using Tiger Woods's name isn't even in code! I've heard his dad

is racist, and if that's true, my guess is that Junior has followed in his footsteps in that area, too. THAT part, though, would be just A-okay with many of his supporters.

4. LOL - reminds me of those big (shhhh, secret) fees Psycho Sarah charges to blab on and on. nt

[liberal N proud]

5. Who would expect it to be anywhere else?

Fat Cat Republican = Snobby Country Club.

White only, I am sure!

6. He really is a male Bachmann! Ayn Rand Paul Bachmann. nt

7. And awaaaay we go...

P.S. Here's where you can donate to Conway's campaign, even if you live out of state.

8. K & R

:thumbsup:

9. Good God in butter is he dumb

Well looks like KY will have a (D) senator

He didn't answer the question and talked about how a lot of people play golf and how it isn't like it used to be. :rofl:
What a tool.

And all this from a private country club. Betya a coal mine from eastern KY couldn't just roll up and play a round at
that club.

11. I want to thank Mr. Paul for giving the Dems a good shot in KY!

[KamaAina]

12. The apple never falls far from the tree

Just this morning I was wondering if he was a racist like his daddy. Now we know. :eyes:

[brooklynite]

13. Plenty of things to beat him up on...this isn't one

He rented a facility for a party. He invited who he wanted to the party. The fact that the facility wasn't accessible to everyone before or after the party is no different than having a fundraiser or party in a private home.

[rocktivity]

17. The problem is what he said about it--he used someone caught in a sex scandal

(and who couldn't get into most country clubs himself despite his achievements) as an example of tolerance. Not smart. This counts against Rand because it reflects badly on his judgment and sense of diplomacy.

18. I beg to differ

You want your victory party @ your campaign HQ or a public hotel or meeting hall ..... the more people the better.
Appearances matter. Add this with not taking the pro forma call from his rival to offer congratulations shows
a really bone head or ego case.

[BrklynLiberal]

14. Ayn Rand would be so proud of him..

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Cant trust em]

15. Private country clubs are OK because they don't take taxpayer funds.

See? It all works out in their heads.

[me b zola]

16. I think Rachel will have fun tonight poking this twit with a stick

...and I will watch with a cocktail and enjoy every minute of it. :toast:

[blondeatlast]

19. Nothing racists about the Paul family, nosirree...

:eyes:

[AngryAmish]

20. At my club we let anyone in who has the 110k to get in

And three recommendations. And can survive the black ball process. Very inclusive.

[get the red out]

21. But did the country club let the militia in?

Did the good old militia guys that had Rand's back at that rally in Frankfort back in April get in? They are white, but I'm not sure the camo, sunglasses and weapons would fit in too well.
