Meanwhile, to no one’s great surprise, Andrew Sullivan is white-splaining away the explicit racism of Rand Paul’s neo-Confederate staffer, “The Southern Avenger.”

Another Paul, Another Secessionist Smear?

My favorite part (Sullivan quoting the paleolibertarians at American Conservative):

Hunter’s columns were provocative and conservative, but anyone who reads them, while finding plenty to disagree with—he’s an independent thinker—will not find hate. Naivete, yes, and a certain obtuseness about minorities that’s long been characteristic of the right.

“A certain obtuseness about minorities.” Snort.
