A true oxymoron. Except the minority part.

Do you really want to be taken seriously? Try not rhetorically hyperventilating. So now Obama’s whole church is racist? Where did you get that info? The same place you got the lame “Bush was the first to appoint a black” assertion?

One glance at Bush’s cabinet and you’ll see that Bush has no problem appointing qualified minorities to positions never before held by a person of color.

Like Ron Brown, Clinton’s former transportation secretary, Or Madeline Albright, Clinton’s Jewish, female secretary of state?

If your point is that Bush was first to appoint a black to a cabinet position, you’re really, really wrong.

When you’re tired of pissing in the wind, go piss up a rope.

So how did John McShrub vote on the bill to make MLK’s birthday a national holiday?

Get real and/or educated…oh, never mind.

Next.

It’s time we faced this.

What’s happening. Winning hearts and minds?

“MOST Democrat (sic) lawmakers”? Wrong. If that was true, the civil rights laws would never have passed at all. Only the Democrats from southern states opposed the bills (also all Republicans from southern states). Democrats from states in the northeast, the midwest, and the west supported civil rights overwhelmingly — and in greater numbers than did the Republicans from these states.

And no — I’m not going to say that Democrats from southern states switched parties overnight en masse. They didn’t. Over the years, some did (Strom Thurmond was a good example) — but most stayed with the Democratic party until they retired or got defeated for re-election by a Republican. Many of these Republicans started out as Democrats, but switched parties before running for office (Jesse Helms and Trent Lott are good examples). Most Southern states are now overwhelmingly Republican, both in population and in representation. This shift really began with the 1964 election, when conservative Republican Goldwater ONLY carried southern states (plus his own).

Now, you can comb through ancient history all you want, and you can cherry-pick quotes all you want, but do you REALLY think that you are going to get anyone here to believe that the Democratic Party is more racist than the Republicans?

He shouldnt have done it in a tie..

“Basketball comment is yet more blatant stereotyped racism coming from the left.”
– WHAT basketball comment? Matthews’? He’s hardly “from the left.” If you are talking about a comment from another TP poster, please reference who it was and the time of the post.

“This campaign has clearly shown the racist underbelly of liberals.”
– Unless you can elaborate on that with some specific evidence, this is an empty comment. Furthermore, what does this have to do with Tweety?

“No surprise, there’s a long racist history in the DNC.”
– It’s true that well over a century ago, Republicans were the progressives and Democrats were the mentally arthritic we-fear-change crowd. The parties have since switched positions, yet you wingnuts still like to bash Democrats for anti-Reconstruction positions of the 19th century.

“But don’t let the facts get in the way.”
– How in the world could “facts get in the way” when you have failed to provide any?

Oh, and what’s up with FAN OF MAN (response #2)? Is it necessary to use foul language on this site? Let’s not stoop so low, okay?

Chris Matthews:
“The biggest story of modern Third World history if Obama wins the American Presidental caucus in Iowa.”

Because anyone who understands the Third World knows that the most important thing to these Third World people is that US elects a black President with a “Third World” name.

_AIO_

Better yet, if we want this to be the criterion for choosing the next leader of the free world, let Obama and McShrub go head to head in EITHER bowling or basketball and see who comes away the winner.
