Senator Robert Byrd says "white *******" on TV - YouTube
Again..
By relentlessly serving his state's economic interests, Byrd has secured his place as West Virginia's preeminent politician. As a long-reigning chairman and ranking member of the Appropriations Committee, Byrd pumped billions of dollars worth of jobs, programs and projects into the state that did not have a single mile of divided four-lane highway when he began his political career. More than three dozen bridges, highways, schools and public buildings are named for him.
Still, says Ken Hechler, 90, a liberal Democratic former U.S. House member from West Virginia who served with Byrd in Congress, "It's impossible for anyone to try to whitewash the KKK and its overall symbolism."
"But at the same time," he added, "we honor those people who publicly admit the error of their ways."
Last week, Byrd said: "I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times . . . and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened."
A Senator's Shame
What college do you teach at?
Is it your contention that people cannot change?
Since you claim Robert Byrd changed, can you explain to us what a "white ******" is?
Newark Mayor Cory Booker slammed the Obama campaign's ad criticizing Mitt Romney's record as the head of Bain Capital, and called for an end to"nauseating" attacks from both sides.
"I have to just say from a very personal level, I'm not about to sit here and indict private equity," Booker, a Democrat, said in an appearance on NBC's "Meet The Press" on Sunday. "To me, it's just we're getting to a ridiculous point in America. Especially that I know I live in a state where pension funds, unions and other people invest in companies like Bain Capital. If you look at the totality of Bain Capital's record, they've done a lot to support businesses, to grow businesses."
The ad--released last week by the Obama re-election campaign--makes Booker, who endorsed Obama for president in 2008, "very uncomfortable," he said.
"This kind of stuff is nauseating to me on both sides," Booker continued. "It's nauseating to the American public. Enough is enough. Stop attacking private equity. Stop attacking Jeremiah Wright. This stuff has got to stop, because what it does is it undermines, to me, what this country should be focused on. It's a distraction from the real issues."
Cory Booker slams Obama campaign ad attacking Romney
Also,
The basic Obama-liberal critique goes like this: Bain buys a company, loads it with debt and then sucks out cash before foisting the wounded business upon an unsuspecting buyer or a bankruptcy court. In the risk-taking world of private equity such a scenario can certainly happen, and it's true that Bain likes management fees and dividends as much as the next partnership.
But then how to explain the history of Bain Capital? Mr. Romney started the business in 1984. The company has since bought and sold many businesses and executed thousands of financing transactions.
If Bain's standard operating procedure were to hand the next owner of one of its companies a ticking bankruptcy package, how is Bain still finding buyers nearly three decades later? And who would agree to lend money to a company backed by Bain? Wouldn't word have gotten around by, say, 1987 that Bain's portfolio companies weren't creditworthy?
The liberal critique of private equity assumes that the financial industry is full of saps who have been eager to lose money across the table from Bain for 28 years. This is the same financial industry that the same liberal critics say is full of greedy schemers when it comes to padding their own pay or ripping off consumers. But financiers can't be both knaves and diabolical geniuses at the same time.

gee, that settles it. now everyone who supports the president is going to go out and put the rightwingnuts back in power.
do you honestly think this is effective as against anyone who *would* and *has* voted for the president? i don't. i think it's more fauxrage and nonsense....
fwiw, i saw cory booker make his statements. he's briliant and will be the next governor of new jersey. his criticisms were of BOTH the idea of swiftboating the president with racist trash about reverend wright (which failed the first time around) AND about demonizing bain. so your o/p is HALF right.
he's also backtracked now, but that's besides the point.
Democrats don't fall in line like the Cons do.
This is the problem we have today in the United States of America. The racist indoctrination of many Americans is ruining our nation. Salt Jones is an example of the lunacy and ignorance that has taken root in our culture.
What the fuck are you talking about? Do you even know American history?
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.- IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The 13th Amendment to the Constitution declared that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Formally abolishing slavery in the United States, the 13th Amendment was passed by the Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the states on December 6, 1865.
AN ACT To enforce the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That this Act shall be known as the "Voting Rights Act of 1965."
SEC. 2. No voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure shall be imposed or applied by any State or political subdivision to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color.-Transcript of Voting Rights Act (1965)
When did the so called "racist indoctrination of many Americans" begin and when did it "take root in our culture"?
Democrats don't fall in line like the Cons do.
Wrong.
Even now Romney is not going along with bringing up Rev. Wright.
There is a reason why democrats fixate on the steel company that had no choice but to fail instead of the hundreds of companies that benefitted by Bain. It's a democrat thing.
And it will help crush Romney. The bain ads will work.
Since no one on the left can explain what a "white ******" is, can any of you explain why Harold Ford is now an "Uncle Tom" for simply agreeing with Cory Booker?
Hostage watch: Harold Ford agrees with Cory Booker, branded ‘Uncle Tom’ and ‘corporate prostitute’ | Twitchy
Booker will be clarifying on Morning Joe, first thing in the morning. He's already heard from New Jersey's black community, that his chances of running for governor are crap without black support.
Watch and learn.

racist trash? Oh I get it, any critique of obamas associations is racist, got it
"Yesterday, Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker (D) attacked the Obama campaign for making an issue of Mitt Romneys tenure at Bain Capital during an appearance on Meet the Press. While the progressive leader later backed off the criticisms, Republicans have been quick to highlight his comments as an attack against the idea that scrutiny of Mitt Romneys record as a businessman is fair game.
A ThinkProgress examination of New Jersey campaign finance records for Bookers first run for Mayor back in 2002 suggests a possible reason for his unease with attacks on Bain Capital and venture capital. They were among his earliest and most generous backers."
See they are all hooked together. Bain Romney Obama. Corporations play both sides and so do politicians.
Fuck we should elect Ron Paul cuz he is the only one not playing ball with them yet.
Since no one on the left can explain what a "white ******" is, can any of you explain why Harold Ford is now an "Uncle Tom" for simply agreeing with Cory Booker?

And you note just mere hours later he did a 180...and it wasn't BAIN that contacted him to elicit the turn around to make him look the fool.
