Sonic Overload 5/24/10

I’ll be brief with the weekly outrage—the audio at the start of track 2 explains it pretty well. Kentucky Senatorial candidate Rand Paul apparently has a problem with the part of the 1964 Civil Rights Act that requires businesses to accommodate customers regardless of race, gender, et al. Paul, being a libertarian, finds fault with that. Whether or not he’s a racist or not, such a viewpoint would certainly embolden racists, the same thugs who beat and murdered people standing up for basic civil rights. Fox “pundit” John Stossel takes it a step further. Listen to the two clips I used from a Fox News broadcast. Unbelievable. Have we made that little progress? Sure seems that way, sometimes.
