I dunno.

I like to use the term "Knee-Grows".

I got that one from Reading Malcom X's autobiography.

Really, Dan?

How can you read that little speech he gave and not think it reads like Bundy is stuck in 1962? He is clueless and hopelessly lost in the long dead past.
I already agreed with that Dave, the guy is a bigot to say the least. But lots of people are and it's not news.

My point was it was far bigger news to report what was happening out there between all parties and most the media ignored it.

But now some racist remarks are top of the news cycle of a story they ignored in the fist place.

If you do not see that as agenda driven I can't help that. Do you need for me to explain the agenda? We already have ignorant posters here to show you.

I give him Kudos for being up front about it instead of trying to deny it like a lot of them do.
Here is the agenda Dave.

Let me see how ignorant would I be if by pure individual comments I placed all in a category.

“He (Reid) was wowed by Obama’s oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama – a ‘light-skinned’ African American ‘with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,’

Does this comment make all Democrats pregidous bigots?

You aren't going to know jack squat about how the real world works.

The use of the phrase, "....the Negro." suggest it's been a while since Cliven has left the ranch for any appreciable duration of time. Think about it; How long has it been since any English speaking people used the word "negro" so casually? The early '60s?

Our man really does need to get out more.

Modern racist usage: negro is code for nigger.

I hear what you are saying about isolation, Dave.... But it's hard for me to understand how anybody these days does not know how offensive those words are. Surely he has a television and newspaper, he can't have missed what has happened in regards to race in our country in the past fifty years.

Just finished watching Sean Whatisname communications director of the RNC on CNN. Actually he is the chief whiner of the RNC as all he could come up with "when a democratic governor touched women inappropriately there was zero, zero coverage." I suppose the double negative meant there really was coverage because I saw it. Sorry Sean but your boys stepped in the cow shit all by themselves, no one pushed them.

I think it makes him a jerk...but then I've always though he was a jerk....


Fortunately for the democrats, his jerkiness is way overshadowed by standard across the board republican jerkiness.

1967 - "Guess who's coming to dinner"

At the time interracial marriage was also illegal in some states.
