It's official: the Republican Party is the party of racism

[REDWAVE]

As if there was any doubt to begin with, Senate Republican Majority Leader Trent Lott has now made it official. He recently praised the openly racist, segregationist campaign of Strom Thurmond for President in 1948. Here are his exact words: "I want to say this about my state. When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years, either."

Even worse is the lack of any indignation over this from either the Democratic leadership in Congress or the corporate media.

AmeriKKKa-- rotten and racist to the core.

I realize there was already a thread on this, but it's such a big story, and so utterly revealing of the true nature of AmeriKKKan society, that it can't be emphasized too much.

I have completely stopped posting to these threads because there is just NO point. With the likes of you and Don K Dyck and ppman, it's a ridiculous endeavor.

But I do still like you personally, pal. You are just soooo fucking misguided.

This is racist how?

It is a blanketed statement that anyone can use for or against any argument.

You used it for yours. It makes it racist cause you say so.


You are shit stirring racist yourself.

The right to revolution

There is already more than ample cause for revolution, according to the Declaration of Independence itself:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Surely even you can't defend Lott's statements. And he's no junior back bencher with no power: he's the leader of the Senate Republicans.

REDWAVE saying racist = Hanns saying cunt.

Meaningless.

You see their method

You see the method of the racist demagogues such as Problem Child. He cannot refute what I am saying because it's undeniably true, so he engages in name-calling and invective.

You started the thread off with name calling and generalizations.


No... wait... you fight against that.

No, I am not defending anyone or anything. What I see here is a provocative thread post that once again degenerates into name calling and just plain goofiness. Not only degenerates into it, but pleads for it to begin with.

Give me an intelligent debate again. Otherwise, I am staying off these "political" threads. They are non-sensical. Even you can see that.

 

[Ham Murabi]

Er, Redwave, that first Civil Rights Act (was it 1964?) was passed by Republicans and opposed by southern Democrats such as Al Gore Sr.

Touché.

Wait a minute. PC engages in name calling? You are one of the worst around here. You called me a racist for a light-hearted comment about digging to China. Your comments might carry more weight if they weren't so tinged with bile.

 

[REDWAVE]

Again from the Declaration of Independence

"When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, IT IS THEIR DUTY, to throw off such Government . . ."

Yes, the Republican party, the party of Lincoln.

Oh wait, I forgot, he's on RED's "racist" list as well. Damn, I guess emancipating the slaves wasn't a big enough gesture afterall.

I haven't called anyone any names in this thread. All the name calling has been directed against me. And for what? For speaking out against racism.

And let's put your "light-hearted comment" into perspective, shall we? It was part of a thread you created for the purpose of encouraging and inviting other people to abuse and ridicule me for my political opinions.

Your short-term memory is shot, REDWAVE. I started the thread after you called me a racist. You called me a racist after I asked if I'd dug through to China yet since I kept dropping lower in your opinion with every post I made. I was dropping in your opinion because I asked if there was a country currently in existence that followed any tenet of your political idealism and suggested visiting it might be good for your blood pressure. I also said I liked having you in the U.S., but you ignored that bit.

People call you names because you rarely present a thread topic without ranting. You are a "character" in many eyes. In contrast, your responses on my thread to you were some of the most balanced I've seen. And remember how civil the tone stayed? It's all in the presentation.

You started off calling me a racist demagogue, you lyin' douchebag fuckwad.

All I did was point out what a jackoff you are because you toss out the word racist like breadcrumbs here.

Maybe if you didn't wear the word down to threads, people might take you the slightest bit seriously.

 

[Texan]

REDWAVE is a joke.

In the past, I tried to make sure everyone could see how foolish he is. I've stopped bothering. Anyone who is stupid enough to take REDWAVE seriously, deserves what they get.

REDWAVE does to rational thought, what Rosanne Barr did to the National Anthem.

 

[REDWAVE]

Mischka

Not true. I didn't call you a racist until AFTER you started the "Pick a country for REDWAVE" thread as a deliberate provocation and vicious persecution of me for being a political dissident.

And by vocigerously attacking me, while uttering not the slightest peep of criticism of Lott's outrageous racist statements, you have confirmed that I was right.

You know, there's some real truth here. The more you toss out words like racist or nazi or klansman, the less impact the word carries. It's like saying fuck or c*nt constantly, they eventually mean nothing to anyone.




Jesus..... I really was done posting here. *sigh*

 

[70/30]

Redwave's right on this one. There are a lot of charts to prove it. 10's of millions of minorities are trapped in decaying urban areas and Republicans conveniently want to localise funding for education. Recently they've started to slash ALL remedial college courses at 4 year and 2 year universities. If you fall a little behind, let say maybe because you went to the shittiest high school around--you're screwed--you are forced to community college or worse. They want immigration to end, they need to create more lower level workers that are desperate enough to serve. Lott let it slip...I already knew.

Redrump, you are the worst kind of racist there is. You use the term racist whenever you want to defer attention from yourself.

Besides, who in the world listens to anything that twit, Trent Lott, says anyways?

Go back to bed, red....

Okay this really will be my last post...... it's a question really.


Do you and this dope (70/30) have a direct line to each other?

You must.
