Ah. Here it is. Been waiting for the official victim card to be played.

From the NY Times, Paul’s Views on Civil Rights Cause a Stir

Update: Mr. Paul’s campaign issued a statement this morning in response to the uproar over his remarks. In it, he said that he supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the landmark anti-discrimination law. :

“I believe we should work to end all racism in American society and staunchly defend the inherent rights of every person,” he said. “I have clearly stated in prior interviews that I abhor racial discrimination and would have worked to end segregation. Even though this matter was settled when I was 2, and no serious people are seeking to revisit it except to score cheap political points, I unequivocally state that I will not support any efforts to repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”

Mr. Paul disputed the claim by opponents that he would support repealing the Civil Rights Act.

“These attacks prove one thing for certain: the liberal establishment is desperate to keep leaders like me out of office, and we are sure to hear more wild, dishonest smears during this campaign,” he said.

Yep, it’s not Rand Pauls doing. It’s all the “liberal establishments” fault. When in doubt, blame the media.

How Nixonian.
