O'Donnell comes off as a major prick, as do most of the guys who invite guests on to their show just to cut them off and not let them fully answer any questions.
With that said, this is the most incoherent I've ever seen Ron Paul. I left with no clue of what he was trying to say, because his point seemed to meander and roam from one non-related anecdote to another.
Ugh... I am really rooting for Dr. Paul, but "No really! I have lots of black friends!" is not really the defense you want to use in order to be taken seriously.

That's because he wasn't answering many of the questions.

Because you dont understand the libertarian principles. Which hold that the biggot has a right, as an American, to run his lunch counter the way he wants. And no one, no matter how well-armed with principles, morals, logic, love, hate, or otherwise, has a right to infringe on the individual.
Its the philosophy of liberty.
O'Dickel caught Paul off guard and kept him off balance. That simple. Ambush.

And what do you base the bolded section on? Of which political leanings do you ascribe to me?
If I better "understood libertarian principles", to the degree which you feel necessary, would it made Dr. Paul any more coherent? Like you admitted to, he was caught off guard and kept off balance. I doubt any increased knowledge of libertarian principles would have magically changed the YouTube to a video of Dr. Paul making sense.

He wasnt ready for that line of questioning. But O'Donnell was trying to beat RP up, and it worked. RP couldnt get to his feet.
Doesnt mean RP wasnt justified in the original remarks. And given an honest debate, that he couldnt return fire.
Very few honestly want a country which does not "crush" unpopular viewpoints underfoot. This board is the perfect example. Its what ails us at the root.
That is the beauty of Libertarian principals. They value the individual without respect to race, color, creed, religion, etc. We are not worthy of a society without classifications and oppression of the same.

Hard to answer when you are constantly being interrupted. It's a favorite technique of political talk-show hosts, to the point where I wonder how any guests ever agree to go on their pathetic shows.

But credit to the people who do on their shows and manage to resist the urge to scream "SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY AND LET ME ANSWER!" It must take a lot of patience. :lol

I know you dont understand the principles, because if you did you would understand the original statement, and O'Donnell's ignorance would be evident from the word go. You wouldnt be concerned with Paul's response, you would be focused on the ignorance of the line of questioning.
I would like Paul to have done better, but I know what Paul was saying about how the CRA didnt enhance race relations or freedom, and so I am not waiting on paul to answer

eh... yeah it's the common knee jerk reaction when someone is called a racist, but any route he takes regarding this issue he loses...

I know you don't understand the principles, because you were stupid enough to write this post.
