Dirty race-card tricks in Mississippi: The KKK ploy; Update: Neck and neck; Update: Democrat wins dirty; NRCC licks its wounds: “We came up short”
Scroll down for updates…10:04pm Eastern: Results coming in…it’s neck and neck with Democrat Childers maintaining a slim lead…Update 10:25pm Eastern…The Democrat wins dirty…11:28pm Eastern…see my reaction to Boehner’s statement on the special election loss here…
The special congressional election in Mississippi today is an important one. The GOP can’t afford another defeat and morale-deflator. Republicans have poured on the money to retain the longtime, reliably conservative district.
So, what are Dems up to? You won’t be surprised. Several Mississippi readers and bloggers e-mail that the Dems have pulled out the race card to smear GOP candidate Greg Davis as a KKK supporter. This is how it’s going to be.
Alan Lange at Y’all Politics reports:
On Monday afternoon (5/12), the DCCC was pushing the following ad on the streets of the district.
(Image via Right of Mississippi)…This ad certainly begs some questions. First, if the DCCC was so proud of the message, why not put it on TV with the $1,000,000 they dropped in the campaign? Second, why only drop this on the street one day before the election? Would it be so that no press would pick up on it?
Candidly, I don’t know how this election shakes out. It’s a 3 point race that could go either way. However, this is why we do this site . . . to uncover this kind of naked racial bigotry that was unfortunately done, in this case, on Travis Childers’ behalf. So far, we have not received any press releases from Childers’ campaign, the DCCC or the Mississippi Democratic Party disavowing the message. For someone who has been as closely linked to the now disgraced trial lawyer and admitted felon, Joey Langston, as Childers has been, maybe it can be assumed that the “ends justifies the means” mindset runs through their circle of acquaintances.
Turns out the last-minute attack by the Dems was on the wrong mayor for the wrong statue.
Slimeballs.
Conservative Belle and Liberal Smash weigh in.

Update: The DCCC, naturally, stands by its slime.
Update 10:04pm Eastern: Y’all Politics is liveblogging the returns. Results here. It’s currently 51/49 Childers, with 366 of 462 precincts reporting.
Update 10:25pm Eastern: The Democrat wins in a race card-tainted race…
Democrats appeared to regain control of north Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District — for now.
Shortly after 9 p.m., with 80 percent of the precincts reporting, The Associated Press declared Prentiss County Chancery Clerk Travis Childers the winner over Southaven Mayor Greg Davis, a Republican, in a runoff.
The runoff was necessary after a special election last month produced no outright winner.
Childers’ apparent victory means he will serve the final months of a term vacated by Roger Wicker. Wicker, a Republican, was appointed to the U.S. Senate after former Sen. Trent Lott resigned in December.
But Childers, 50, will face Davis, 42, again in the November general election. That race will determine who replaces Wicker in January for a full two-year term.
This fight ain’t over.
But ultimately, you know, voters will get “The Change They Deserve.”
***
Update 11:00pm Eastern. The NRCC issues a statement on yet another humiliating defeat. Dirty or not, it’s another sign of GOP disarray:
NRCC Chairman Tom Cole’s Statement on Special Election Results in Mississippi
Washington- NRCC Chairman Tom Cole released the following statement following the results of the special election runoff in Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District:
“We are disappointed in tonight’s election results. Though the NRCC, RNC and Mississippi Republicans made a major effort to retain this seat, we came up short.
“Tonight’s election highlights two significant challenges Republicans must overcome this November. First, Republicans must be prepared to campaign against Democrat challengers who are running as conservatives, even as they try to join a liberal Democrat majority. Though the Democrats’ task will be more difficult in a November election, the fact is they have pulled off two special election victories with this strategy, and it should be a concern to all Republicans.
“Second, the political environment is such that voters remain pessimistic about the direction of the country and the Republican Party in general. Therefore, Republicans must undertake bold efforts to define a forward looking agenda that offers the kind of positive change voters are looking for. This is something we can do in cooperation with our Presidential nominee, but time is short.
“I encourage all Republican candidates, whether incumbents or challengers, to take stock of their campaigns and position themselves for challenging campaigns this fall by building the financial resources and grassroots networks that offer them the opportunity and ability to communicate, energize and turn out voters this election.”

Shocked! Shocked, I say!
/sarcasm off
Bear in mind that the KKK usually supports Democrats. Bear also in mind that many Dems are getting tired of the wolf-crying race card.
Let’s hope they tire of it completely — soon. Otherwise, it’s going to be a looooooong year for the GOP.
Smells like the perfect setup for a lawsuit for defamation and libel by Greg Davis.
The liberal noise machine digs up eroneous data and publishes it as fact. You want me to act surprised that Democrats lied and made up stuff to smear their opponent?
That’s putting it mildly.
LOL. what retards.
Karl “Evil Badass Genius” Rove is working double time!
I’m sure they will apologize later. The damage has been done and the typical black person will vote for the dem anyway(+90%). Now the moderate repubs feeling white guilt will vote for the dem.
I’m starting to really wonder about the intelligence of the average dem voter, blacks in particular, but also gutless, pandering white voters.
No, they will not! They will simply say, “Well, we all know he’s a racist anyway.” or something like that.
But, yes the damage is done. Blood pressure is up. I should get off the ‘net the rest of the day.
Sen. Byrd was not availbe for comment.
Since when have Dems let something like TRUTH and FACTS get in the way ????
One final thought before I crack my own skull over this:
With the demand for Sen. Lott’s political demise drummed up over stupid, ad-hoc comments, will the DCCC actually fire the perpetrator of this lie?
Holding my breath…..
Jesse Jackson and (the non-ordained) Rev. Al Sharpton were also unavailable for comment.
Apology from liberals coming in 99999999999999999999, 99999999999999999998, 99999999999999999997…
I think your countdown is overly optimistic…
I didnt feel like holding the 9 key down for the next 20 minutes.
Why would a Republican want to erect a statue of senator byrd?
Maybe in the 50’s and 60’s…but certainly not in the last 25 years.
The democrats remind me of the posse in the Ox Bow Incident. I you haven’t seen the movie the posse, most of them, tracked down and hung three men for murder only to find out afterward that the supposed victim was very much alive. Take a good look at these faces and then drive them out of your area. What happens is the dem supporters believe this garbage and then one day one of your loved ones is walking down the street and jumped by those who have been told that you all are racists a bunch of kkk’ers. Once upon a time we really had kkk lynching people now the democrats use that to incite the next generation of murdering scum. The liberal fascists, American taliban or the leftist kkk take your pick they all fit. The protocols of the elders of the democrat party, without a doubt the enemies of all of us. All the apologies in the world wont change a thing.
The same party that made a KKK member their majority leader is criticizing someone for honoring the founder of the KKK.
Hypocrisy on PARADE!
Actually we’re more likely to have them play the moral equivalency card and say “See, a guy with a (R) by his name did _____ 100 years ago. So this is just payback.”
T.L.H.
Incoming moral equivalency in 3..2..1…
Is it really so hard to apologize and admit your mistakes and lies? Rhetorical question btw.
When you use the word RACISM you best make sure you have the full weight of facts behind it.
Racism is disgusting. But this really cheapens it when people throw it out all the time as a tool, especially like this.
Cheapens it for those who have experienced true racism and deserve our ear. Not this BS.
grrrrrr……
It’s just politics… Yep. That’s what is so wrong about this, but I digress… feebz pretty much covered it.
Childers just needs some sleep. Maybe he can snuggle up with Shrill.
But of course senator KKK byrd is AOK!?!?!?
I just had a good look at what’s caught in the grease trap.
Where is mcamnesty, condemning this nonsense? Oh yea, he reserves that for GOP attacks on dems. Sigh!!
“In reality, the statue was of Jefferson Davis, who was not the founder and never even in the KKK.
The founder of the KKK statue (Nathan Bedford Forrest) was actually wanted by the Mayor of Horn Lake.
So the DCCC has attacked the wrong mayor for the wrong statue”
Can they be sued for this? Can a re-election be demanded? Or is that how it plays now - which means I can just go toss out pamphlets over America saying that Obama is a pedophile and Hillary is a heavy cocaine abuser and is the 21st hijacker from 911, and McCain is wanted for rape in 5 states. Why not - if the dems can, why can’t I? hmm?
long way to go before November, it’s going to get real ugly. Wait until the Hollyweido’s start adding their two worthless cents and don’t count out the “rev” either, get the popcorn ready.
aj
butter with that?
nah, plain, but get the raisinettes…
If you go to the Travis Childers for Congress website, you can add an “endorsement”. They ask if they can use your comment. I don’t think they’ll be using my “endorsement”. Bet they didn’t even know how to spell sleazoid.
If the dems really wanted to do damage they could say Davis is a ACLU supporter.
Shameless.
I’d love to see somone go to jail for this. It’s voter fraud.
While Rove is accused of being behind the ‘McCain’s black baby’ or whatever, and he denies it (and the left constantly regurgitates this claim to their benefit)- the Mississippi DCCC is actually responsible for this.
Other Side is about as big an idiot as the left trots out.
The KKK is and was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party. Saying it isn’t so, doesn’t change history. Sen Byrd has numerous, and I mean numerous, buildings, bridges, highschools, statues, highways, hospitals and shacks named for himself.
He is a Democrat. He was selected and elected the majority leader of the Senate by his Democrat cohorts including Kennedy.
Other Side isn’t interested in the facts, he interested in socialism.
OK….back after three deep breaths. Yes, feebz, you are right about what constitutes true racism.
However, TOS, when I lived in Maryland in the 90s, the KKK was holding a public rally for the democratic candidate for governor, who narrowly lost to Ellen Sauerbrey (sp?). I forget the democrat’s name. MM, help me out.
KKK members still endorse dems down here in Florida like no tomorrow. Out-in-the-open endorsements, mind you.
Grizzly, spot on with the Morale Eq card.
It’s going to be an ugly cycle this election.
I’d like to learn more about San Fran Nan breaking the law over the ad she did with Newt.
Alledging racism (or calling someone a racist….) under the blanket of an emotional powerplay or alterior motive…. enrages me like no other.
This creates and perpetuates the very blind eye mentality that TOS has showed us above. True (not BAD) ignorance resides because of false accusors and cuts society off from addressing true racism/racists out there.
When another’s accusation lacks:
1. facts
2. based entirely on emotion;
3. Or create a position for gaining absolute power/authority over a situation, by using the accusation from such a possition(typically happens out of the blue and is a bit of a stretch)
You got yourself one sick puppy.
The person responsible for this acusation should be taken to task publically.
Ready…
Fire!!!
Aim…
It is now, and always was about raw, naked power for the Demoncrats. They will literally kill for it.
Well said, feebie. Completely agree.
The democratic party once again points the discolored finger.
And the party of the KKK is???
That would be Paris Glendenning (D)who’s running mate was Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.
And AC, I seem to remember the same kind of tactic played just before that election against Mrs. Saurbrey. I guess the DCCC seem to think if it works once, then keep doing it.
To say that the people responsible for this should be lynched would be racist.
Civil War historical revisionists, strike again.
Even if Nathan Bedford Forrest had founded the Ku Klux Klan (which some historians have disputed), he made it quite clear that the group should be disbanded due to their violent tactics.
Furthermore, Forrest was one of the first post-war southerners to call for equality for blacks…going so far as to speak at a civil rights event.
STG, some people should pick up a friggin’ history book once in awhile.
This should not be a big problem, the last time I checked very few sheep were able to read or look a newspapers. sarc/off
…but the North Carolina Republican’s ad was intolerably “racist”…
…Orwell enter, stage left…
I have the same sympathy for Republicans getting slimed that you have for Al Qaeda getting tortured. It couldn’t happen to better people.
Here’s Al Gore being blamed for high food prices.
Here’s one Republican accusing another of paying for an abortion.
Here’s the Republican House Minority Leader claiming that Obama called Israel a blot (which Obama did not do).
If it happens to a Republican, boo freakin hoo.
And it’s going in the wrong direction!
Apparently neither are you.
David Duke, Lou Barletta, Marilyn Musgrave, all endorsed by the KKK. The KKK is strongly anti-immigration, anti-gay rights and pro-life…why would they endorse today’s Democrat? Regardless, the KKK’s numbers have dwindled into the thousands these days. The Council of Conservative Citizens has become the latest white supremecist organization…and btw, they are very Republican.
lgm, I’m pretty sure you’re retarded.
I’m sorry Other Side, but you know that Republicans disavow racists, and you also know that Liberals/Democrats sit in their churches for 20 years.
You’re not very bright, but you are funny. You’re just a funny libtard.
Other Side is a Byrd man.
Not since the KKK’s members (and those who share their ideas on race) ditched the Democratic party following the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. The Republican party has long since provided a very safe — and welcoming — haven for card-carrying Klan members and their sympathizers. Honestly, those sorts of people want nothing to do with the diversity-embracing, multiculturalism-propagating Democratic party.
I’m not saying all Republicans are racist, because that isn’t true. But racists tend to vote Republican. It’s silly to pretend otherwise.
Touche.
Short
Sweet
True.
I second that motion, with fervor.
Well. lgm I also think you are retarted. When you destroy the food chain to make fuel, food prices sky rocked (no supply, high demand, prices rise). Is it possible this is simple enough for you.
let me try this: No food=hunger!
I’m sure the 90+ % Obama got of the black vote in NC had nothing to do with race… /sarc
#47 the other side said:
For the same reason a majority of native-born Southerners loyally voted “democrat” up until 1994. David Duke ran in 1992. Like Michael Bloomberg, that made him a opportunist, but it hardly made him a “republican.”
What’s your next thesis, the Confederate Army was nothing but a band of republican stooges?
while i agree with the premise of taking people to task while being inconsistant, i have to pull your card.
Comparing us to al qaeda, along with the torture reference, just doesnt match.
And especially since you’re cheering for smearing the wrong guy to boot.
Democrats? KKK? Sen. Robert Byrd??? ummmm??
Democrats? Sharpton? Wright? Jackson? black oppression?? ummmm?
Looks like we got another one.
On what basis do you find that more racist vote Republican? Also, do you think all racists are white?
Certainly you’ve heard of David Duke (Democrat/KKK until he switched to (R) only to win by a small margin against the (D) incumbent)? What about Sen. Byrd? What about Rev. Wright?
Advice to Nyc, lgm, TOS: Remove head from butt before posting.
Thanks, the management.
Specious charges of KKK sympathy against republicans??? No, no, no. These democrat operatives should have just left a few nooses lying around. At least that would have gained the sympathies of a few libs at this site.

I would check out the last paragraph here.
Money quote:
And FYI, Davis was the mayor of Southaven in 2005, according to his website.
So how is this flyer inaccurate? Has Davis himself denied this accusation?
oh wait, you meant nyk ..I hope.
FYI feebs…Duke switched to Republican in 1988 (like a lot of Southern Democrats did after the Civil Rights Act of the 60’s…hmmm why would they switch then?). Duke took on another Republican (not a Democratic incumbent) for the vacated seat or Rep. Bob Livingston (R), who resigned due to an adultery scandal.
When he ran for the Senate he won 43% (600,000+ votes) as the Republican candidate. How did he get that many votes if there is not some measure of racism in among the Republican constituency?
As much as I hate finger pointing, would it not be fair to say that anyone who things Wright is right is a racist, and voting for the Obamanation. Does that mean that we can count %’s of racists in his votes if he gets the nomination?
or would that be considered racist since he’s a man of color?
I’d be curious how Duke got the nod for it though. He should have been pitched to the wayside for his hateful views too.

I wouldn’t be so quick to judge, nyk. Up until 1994, native born Southerners voted almost exclusively democrat, out of a time honored tradition against “the Party of the North.” This must have included a majority of those who sympathized with the KKK, (Senator Byrd is a prime example.)
Are you telling me that your average klansman today would vote for a “party of Lincoln” republican over a blue-dog democrat if given the choice? Are you that sure that the past 14 years of demographic changes in the South would erase 148 years of Southern democrat voting tradition overnight; that a klansman would not support a southern, conservative democrat today?
I’m not as certain of your analysis as you are, my friend.
le ops.
Why did a mad face come out? Jeesh. Not my day. Chalkin it up to “fat fingers” on the keyboard. LMAO.
ps, nyc, its FEEbiebabe, or Feebz. FREEbie has bad implications.
#64
Agreed. My point was that while IN the KKK as a Head Mucky Moo…he was a Democrat. And I believe the switch occured in 89, and I believe it was more of a stradegy manuver…but admittedly, specualtion on my part.
Again, NYC…Sorry. Yikes.
Liberal blogosphere says the flier isn’t 100% false, sort of like the Swiftboaters. There may have been a grain of truth there too.
Why do people think Obama is a Muslim?
No one approves of the Klan, except liberals and specifically Democrats.
Liberals make choices based on race.
Conservatives don’t.
Libs have guilty consciences. They should.
“ps, nyc, its FEEbiebabe, or Feebz. FREEbie has bad implications.”
ROFL.. ok we’re both having one of those days huh
Funny how idiots like lgm think the SWIFTBOAT VETERANS were liars, yet John Kerry Kohn Heinz himself admitted to commiting war crimse, atrocities, arson, sexual assault and more. Sounds to me like liberals specifically lgm support a war criminal……an admitted war criminal.
Nice guy that John Kerry Kohn Heinz.
Why would you vote for a war criminal lgm? Is it because you are an immoral lib?
Yep.
Think about it lgm. You support an admitted war criminal. Proud of yourself?
hehe freebiebabe.. Freudian slip or what? *still giggling*
Lgm supports Kerry. Kerry is a self-admitted war criminal. Hitler was a war criminal. I guess using lgm’s amazing logic, that would make lgm a nazi.

Yes, I am — and not just those “card-carrying” members either. These are the people who left the party — as Johnson predicted — following the passage of the Civil Rights Act. The Democratic party’s liberal leanings on race don’t make it a comfortable place from which to cast their votes.
Did you all know that John Kerry Kohn Heinz admitted to burning/raising villages in a man reminiscent of Jenjis Khan, to using batteries to electrocute genitals? He shot a kid in the back. Did you know he admitted to doing these things??
And you voted for him??? lgm, were you old enough to vote for him?
Kerry said he witnessed all of the atrocities. If true he should have been courtmartialed for dereliction of duty. As an Officer he was sworn in to report these types of activities. Any chance Kerry was lying & staging a little political theatre in front of Congress & TV cameras?
Blacks like nyk see the kkk around every corner. When was the last time any report of kkk violence was in the national news?
nyk’s black racism directed at any white American is typical of what is wrong with our country. They see no outrage in dirty politics as long as it benefits their pandering to the blacks in the dimwit party.
Jeremiah Wright has said that blacks use the wrong side of their brain when learning, nyk, you are a perfect example of his thesis.
Pull your head out of your @ss!
I guess I missed it, when did Robert Byrd leave the democratic party?
Please point out to me exactly who is opressing the black people of this nation.
What party are these ‘opressors’ members of?
The Democrats (Dixicrats, actually) were the party of the KKK until the 60’s. Nixon’s southern strategy was to get them to switch from Democrat to Republican because northern Democrats had forced integration on the South. Nixon was almost 100% successful — Stennis, Helms, Lott, … . Now, except the ancient Byrd, they’re all Republican. Republicans have carried the racist vote in the South ever since. More decrepit feathers in the Republican cap.
O another question. What happend to Bill Crosby when he went into the black communities to try to help them???
Who exactly lept to their feet when Crosby did this? What party do these people belong to?
harrrdeharrrhaahhhh harrde harrr barf barf.
LOL not many comedians can make me laugh myself sick!!!!!
I’ll agree both political parties have their loons, but your statement was just laughable. The Dem’s side has every racist race hustler on its side right now who is pushing not for racial unity but continually making a living off racial strife. Wright, Sharpton, Jackson…
And what party affiliation was Martin Luther King Jr. again?
Ok so the racistcrats left the party after the party voted against the latest civil rights act? They hopped over to the party that voted for the act? Yep that’s democrat wisdom for ya.
Facts. This kind of garbage might work somewhere else but round here we keep a written history of these events and the people behind them.
and exactly how did you come to this conclusion? do you know whom the racists are? where they live? eat?
your so full of poop sometimes it’s amazing.

If you are the voice of conservatism — and I trust that you are not — the point about racists in the ranks is readily made.
Funny that none of those facts you linked to are post Nixon’s southern strategy of ‘72.

I think he would nyk,but that is just my opinion of the man from observing his speeches and reading the history. Because despite his role as being the leader of the civil rights movement he was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and not the “Uni” variety you find in many churches today that sway Democrat. He valued life, and liberty.
But that topic is all just speculation. Back to the topic at hand where racism is alive and well on the Democrat side of the house.
So believers in Christ can’t be Democrats?
Race perhaps, but not necessarily racism.
Kind of like blacks voting for the dim party that has destroyed the black family through welfare and pandering.

True, we’re both guessing here, and I agree that he was “a devoted follower of Jesus Christ” above all else. Do I think MLK would be, for example, pro-life? Certainly. But I also believe he would be stridently opposed to the war in Iraq (based on his opposition to the Vietnam War) and pro social programs aimed at aiding the poor (because of his Poor People’s Campaign). Consider the more radical tone of his message at the end of his life.
But this is all conjecture, of course.
I guess we should take that as an affirmation of culpability, it’s about time. Anyone got a link for Nixon’s southern strategy? I didn’t think so. No it’s not funny a fact is something that can be substantiated unless of course you are a democrat. Trying to saddle the horse after it has left the barn, it’s hard isn’t it? This is fun, please, keep it up. Xoxoxo.
Is it true that Democrats continue to support a Klansman??
Robert Byrd.
Or is that just a rumor that DEMOCRATS continue to elect ROBERT “the wizard” BYRD klansman.
Here…key quote from by the man behind it:
Then we disagree. Sans the Presidential races, Southern States voted overwhelmingly democrat for national, state and local races from 1965 until 1994, 29 years later. I don’t see any evidence that adherents to the KKK were bucking this trend and voting republican during this same period.
In addition, the Civil Rights Act of 1965 was passed only with the support of Northern republicans, making up for the void of Southern democrat support, including Al Gore’s father and Bill Clinton’s mentor Arkansas Senator Fulbright who were segregationalists.
Your contention: that Southern democrats with klan tendencies, and with 100 years of party tradition to consider, suddenly picked up their blankets in 1965 to go join the party of Northern republicans (who overwhelmingly supported the Civil Rights Act of 1965 to begin with) as a sort of protest against Southern democrats who voted against it…this doesn’t make any sense to me. Especially since Southern states remained solidly democrat for 29 years after this period.
Am I clearly stating my confusion with your premise?
You will have to do better than a newspaper article.
We know you support al quedia ideologically, lgm, and anyone one else who will endorse democrats no matter what the damage to the Constitution.
But the whole Byrd thing? Get over it! It’s 50 years old now.
Most of us are even over what Bill Clinton did.
Oh, I see. So now you’re going to blame democrat losses on whitey. Nice.
So who are you, anyway? Someone who suffers from white guilt, or are you just another sniveling minority?
Some actual historical facts are needed here. Forrest did not form the original Klan. He did, however, order it disbanded, and did work towards ending racial discrimination later in life. He was a complex man, and has been treated very unfairly by those who want to RE-WRITE history, rather than tell what happened.
Likewise Davis, was very progressive in his views on race and slavery for his time. He was a fine man and franly anyone who knows their history would be proud to have a memorial to him in their town. Certainly Jim Limber would
King be a supporter of and a member of the party of black oppression???? No way in hell oppression is what he fought againist, not for.
King was a very smart, aware, knowledgable man. King would not have been sucked in by Democratic propanda.
Party of oppression :Sharption, Jackson, Wright, Reid, and so many more.
Remember Bill Crosby’s experience a few years ago! Who attacked him for trying to help the lower class blacks?
opps
propanda=propaganda
No biggie, but…
Bill Cosby.
Bing Crosby.
Thought the first time was a typo, but clearly not.
Ezu!!! John Kerry Kohn Heinz said everyone participated and was complicit up and down the chain of command.
THAT MEANS HIM.
lgm. Al Gores own father was a Democrat racist.
It must suck to be you.
Nyk said:
Pretending is what you do all day Nyk. How the hell did you get this far in life?
Lemme guess Nyk you don’t work for a living, you sure don’t think like a person who holds down a $3000/month mortgage. You have a monthy nut to bust Nyk? Of course not! You’re a seriously weird lib. It’s amazing people think like this.
Nyk doesn’t think MLK would be a Republican today. Nyk has no clue.
Todays clueless liberals have made a mockery of what Martin Luther King stood for. King wanted a society where ones race did not matter. Our current Democrat Party is exactly the opposite. Our current Libocrats are all about division. Affirmative action, set asides, pandering, and hand outs. Failed social experiments and zero results. I’m afraid the days of blacks being oppressed are over. But the legacy of LBJ and the Libocrat welfare society, and the carnage of crime, illiteracy, and illegitimacy without consequence has set our urban black population back generations. And Libs want more of the same. As long as they get the black vote, they’ll continue to sell American blacks a false tale of oppression and unfairness.
Some of our Lib posters HERE are well meaning, but clueless. They want to believe that they are morally superior and care more. So they meander down the path of least resistance. Tax and give, ask nothing, expect nothing, and blame those who object to more failed programs.
BTW, JFK, would NOT be a Democrat today.
He wasn’t weak.
well written
They beat Cosby down with an ugly stick he hasn’t been heard from since. Its interesting where things have gone. Take for instance MLK and his generation like Sidney Poitier. Sidney in the movie, guess who’s coming to dinner, says to his dad the difference between you and I is that you think of yourself as a black man and I think of myself as just a man. Now we have gone full circle with a cherry on top. It is no wonder that Cosby and MLK are not on reverend wrongs monthly magazine. Curiously BHO and Farrakan are. I’ll take Sidney, MLK and Cosby and raise em a Swann and a Thomas. They can have the change. Oh and don’t forget the ultimate man in the wilderness, Alan Keyes.
I have to agree with Nyk to an extent.
It is probably true that most White Racists vote for Republicans.
However, ALL black racists vote for Democrats. Black racists are not afraid of scrutiny and exist right out in the open. McKinney, Wright, Sharpton, on and on and on.
Obama getting over 90% of the black vote indicates something. But the MSM will not even examine the truth there, nor will liberals.
The fact that there are many many many many angry black racists is not disputable. Libs don’t hold blacks to the same standard as they hold whites, because libs PITY blacks, and do not respect them.
Race, religion, gender or national origin is irrelevant to me. It is not irrelevant to libs. Libs use divisive group tactics to gain power.
My one exception would be: leftie leaders do NOT give a DM about people, the ONLY care about THEIR OWN wealth and POWER: socialism.
followers of the left do not have a clue because they chose to live in la la land.
Guys! None of this matters. Not one bit. WE read, stay informed, have principles, etc…The idiots that are going to vote for GrandMaster B Obama, are voting for one reason: they are way more sophisticated than us and, like, it is sooo time to elect a, you know, black guy. Woo Hoo!!! Nothing is going to change the mind of people who actually follow American Idol. To make matters worse, “our guy” is a raging *sshole (global effing warming??)

what the hell is wrong with ‘quote’ tonight?
Thank you allrsn. We can NEVER get beyond race, as long as RACE PIMPS have a MOTIVE not to.
Let’s take Michelle Obama for example.
She has EVERYTHING, yet she is mired in a self pity and unhappiness. She has a chip on her shoulder bigger than Rodhams ample behind. Why?
I can tell you why and it’s truly ironic.
She doesn’t have HOPE. HOPE!!
She bought into the line of bullshyte that self proclaimed black leaders and poverty pimps, and liberal politicians have spouted since JFK died.
You are victims.
You need our help.
You need our money.
You need affirmative action.
Whitey hates you.
Your kids cannot succeed with an advantage.
This country was built on the backs of your grandparents etc.
We are the government and we are here to help you.
Just shut up and take the check.
We’ll ask nothing in return.
DON’T FORGET TO VOTE DEMOCRAT!!!
But she never noticed Jeremiah Wright saying such things over the course of 20 years.
Yeah sure she didn’t.
BINGO: yes that needs repeating and repeating and repeating…
Nyk has no compunction to the moral decay and destruction of America caused by the hand of the Democratic Party. It is the party of insipid hatred to what America stands for. The Democrats’ main purpose is to divide and conquer; it spawns death and the confines the human soul. We will rise up against Democrats, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but we will. I call upon people of all races, creeds, and religions to destroy and decimate the Demoncrat Party.
Global warming on Mars and Venus are viewed as reactionary and in anticipation of earthlings beginning to travel there and pollute the place up with carbon dioxide. source: ASSA research project.
Oh wait I just remembered, they are actually going to be needing carbon dioxide to you know make Mars green again.
Again thank you allrsn.
Here’s the gig. Libs think everyone who doesn’t agree with them and has Conservative views is by definition racist. They believe the Ku Klux Klan is alive and well in America and that Conservatives/Republicans are closeted members. They operate from that assumption. In fact how often does a lib or black whip out the RACE card, when confronted with diversity of thought.
You don’t agree that we should piss more money down the black hole of Urban public schools or welfare. RACIST.
You don’t believe that ALL CHILDREN deserve equal assessment in UNIVERSITY admissions. Again…RACIST.
You don’t believe in public spending racial “set asides”. RACIST.
They claim the moral high ground and assume that EVERYONE is racist. EXCEPT THEM. They are think the rest of us are haters.

Speaking of which the surface temp on Mars is rising at the same rate as on Earth, WTF does that tell you all global warming stewnods? Go soak in it Gore!
RIGHT WING REVOLUTION!
tgusa. There are a lot…A LOT….of liberals who are just useful idiots. They are in constant need of a cause.
They need to find something to believe in that makes them feel superior, yet never have to held accountable for any results. Baby seals. Bobby Seals. Save the Whales. Coexist!! Mean people suck. They find causes that can have no definitive result that is in any way measurable. There are also calculating self serving narcissistic phonies like Rodham and Kerry Kohn Heinz. Then there are poverty pimps like Sharpton, Wright and Jesse Jackson, who get filthy rich via someone else’s supposed misery.
These politicians PREY on idiots, students, and disaffected losers. They also glom onto UNIONS, groups (gays, abortionists, trial lawyers etc) to gain a “coalition” of power and a critical mass base of power. The JOURNALISM SCHOOL LIB GRADS who come out in litters every May see the world in make believe and idealistic ways, and they spread the b.s. like lib Johnny Appleseeds. The populace buys what the MSM is selling as if was Britney Spears new record.
They eat Hershey bars, believing they actually have some sort of NUTRITION.
if you will…..

Undrsiege, Gore is NEVER going to stop his nonsense. He is rewarded handsomely. He is filthy rich, he is loved by Hollywood, the Nobel clowns honored him with a Peace prize, and Bush STOLE the election from him. Before that he and Tipper were the basis for LOVE STORY, he INVENTED the INTERNET and that was before his lunch break. He flies about the world on private luxury jets and apparently isn’t phased by the rise in food prices.
Do you see a pattern developing??
You would have to have eaten lead paint chips as a child not to see what a bloated clownish hypocrite this ass-hat is. But libs don’t see it.
Then again, libs love Kennedy despite him killing a woman and swimming off to be. Libs have no problem with Robert “the Wizard” Byrd of KKK fame, and libs looked the other way when B.J.Billy Clinton disgraced the ORAL office and shot copious doses of Presidential Spoo about the carpets and blue dresses of the ….errrrr……WHITE……House.
If the democrats are so anti-KKK, why is Grand Poo-bah Robert Byrd in with the democrats in the U.S. Senate???
Lenin, same difference. You have the right idea, if you’ve seen one tin pot commie you’ve seen em all.
Cause he doesn’t have anywhere else to go?
Hmmm. So the Republican party is the party of the KKK and racism?
Consider if you will two parallel events:
1)Lott exclaimed at a private party for former Sen. Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday, that if Lott’s 1948 segregationist presidential bid had succeeded, “We wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years.”
2) In a speech on the Senate floor praising Mr. Byrd as a national treasure during a celebration of his 17,000th vote, Mr. Dodd said, “I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia that he would have been a great senator at any moment. He would have been right at the founding of this country. He would have been in the leadership crafting this Constitution. He would have been right during the great conflict of Civil War in this nation. He would have been right at the great moments of international threat we faced in the 20th century.” For reference, Mr. Byrd was a Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan and fought to derail the 1964
