TV Newser: The headline is from a tweet by New York Times media reporter Brian Stelter. He is referring to Kentucky Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul's decision to cancel his scheduled appearance on NBC's long-running Sunday morning public affairs show.
What happened? Host David Gregory looked at the week that was for Paul, and it was not pretty.
(Trannie freaks and Cuomo force a private business to permit male and female employees to cross-dress and other madness. Government should have NO RIGHT to do this)
As its influence wanes, the DNC Media must be increasingly shrill and partisan to affect events. However, doing so makes the extent of their bias visible to more and more people.
There may not be a solution. At least, I certainly hope not.
Big Interesting Times Bump... That old Chinese curse was right on the money, wasn’t it?
Gee. He probably didn't. He knows it would have been one of MTPs top ten all time ratings, so people who understand these things might inquire as to why they didn't bring Levin on.
ML/NJ
Well, it comes and goes...
Rand made the right choice to stay away. That simple drunk Gregory was all set to ambush Rand and do the “gotcha” thing on him face to face anyway. Whether or not Rand was in the studio at the time is irrelevant.
I hope that the good people of Kentucky take exception to what the media is doing to him and just get more “fired up” to vote for him in November.
Because “Meet The Press” is the oldest show on TV; for real.
Watch his poll numbers go up. Does anybody believe KY is going Dem today?
Pray for America
Rand Paul is running for US Senator from Kentucky and I would advise him to limit his campaigning to Kentucky and to stay off the national stage.
He doesn't owe the national LSM any explanations.
Sarah Palin provided him good cover today when she spoke on Fox News Sunday.

I think Rand Paul is right in his clarifications about what he means and his interpretation of the impacts of the Civil Rights Act. He he's right on when he says he is a supporter of civil rights. He's a supporter of the Civil Rights Act and equal rights. He would have marched with Martin Luther King Jr., he said.And he will oppose any efforts to diminish or erode away any aspect of the Civil Rights Act, so he's supportive. And I think there is certainly a double standard at play here.
When Rand Paul had anticipated that he'd be able to engage in a discussion, he being a libertarian-leaning constitutional conservative, being able to engage in a discussion with a TV character, a media personality, who perhaps had an agenda in asking the question and then interpreting his answer the way that she did, he wanted to talk about, evidently, some hypotheticals as it applies to impacts on the Civil Rights Act, as it impacts our Constitution.
So he was given the opportunity finally to clarify, and unequivocally he has stated that he supports the Civil Rights Act.
WALLACE: Do you see some similarities to what politicians and the press did to you in the fall of 2008?
PALIN: Yeah, absolutely. So you know, one thing that we can learn in this lesson that I have learned and Rand Paul is learning now is don't assume that you can engage in a hypothetical discussion about constitutional impacts with a reporter or a media personality who has an agenda, who may be prejudiced before they even get into the interview in regards to what your answer may be and then the opportunity that they seize to get you.
You know, they're looking for that "gotcha" moment. And that's what it evidently appears to be that they did with Rand Paul, but I'm thankful that he was able to clarify his answer about his support for the Civil Rights

Poor pathetic NBC trying to influence an election where Paul is 25 points ahead. It's comical that they think they're that relevant.
A lot of so called conservatives do not like Rand Paul either. They are afraid we will take back our party.
This transgender stuff is a gold mine for Republicans. These social wedge issues aren’t what we should be using right now, though.
Here’s my favorite tranny story, out of Maine
http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/107245.html
The goverment in Maine (all Democrats) thinks men should use the womens rooms in Denny’s Restaurants, provided the man is wearing a dress.
These tranny stories are so funny. They always refer to “her” and “she” when it’s a man, and it’s so difficult to determine what they’re talking about. Things like she wanted to use the womens room and customers complained. Huh, what’s the problem? Then in paragraph 8, something like “Mary, who was born Mark, is biologically a man.” Oh, this is a crazy dude who likes wearing dresses and calls himself by a womens name. Now it makes sense. And the government is against the restaurant and the customer who complained, and for the drag queen?
From this article, I think I might like this sentence the best “Another customer complained to management, which decided to disallow Freeman from using the womens restroom until she had completed surgery.”
Did Denny’s management really make a reference to surgery?
Or did they just say “you’re a man, use the men’s room”
We have gone mad and decided to ignore the mental illnesses of these cross-dressing freaks. There is no difference between recognizing cross-dressing men as females and recognizing insane man who says he is Napoleon--forcing us to call him "Emperor" or "Mr Bonaparte".
I think this race will tighten up, but Rand Paul is still in the driver’s seat. The Democrats had a contentious and divided primary of their own and Conway starts way behind in the polls. At the end of the day, attacking Paul for alleged hostility to civil rights (i.e. racism) isn’t a winning strategy in a state like Kentucky. Conway was already going to overwhelmingly win the black vote (primarily in Louisville and Lexington) anyway. Black voters only make up around 11% of the vote statewide. John McCain won 63% of the white vote in 2008 in Kentucky, including 37% of white Democrats and 61% of white independents.
yeah I heard the original host was actually Moses...
I think we should let “Napoleon” actually run France. He believes he’s the leader of France, why should we tell him he isn’t what he believes.
I have no problems with a dude wanting to run around in dresses. But don’t tell me it’s because you’re a girl. These people are insane.
Am I correct that our Freepers of the female presuasion would all say... GUILTY! ...?
