For 8 years the right has been called racist.

[Correll]

What's particularly pathetic about the race whores like Jillian is there is actual racism in the world and their endless quest to label anyone who disagrees with them a racist just overwhelmingly dulls the use of the word to background noise and actually protects actual racists

Well if you believe in the respect of our federal immigration laws through enforcement, you are considered a racist.

When you present them with the real world "reality" of the kind of people that are behind these terrorists attacks. As well as present them with where their strongholds and training camps reside, with the common sense approach as to why you simply don't open your doors to refugees in regions where the threat terrorists thrives, you are called a racist.

It's just the kind of games that liberals play, when you just don't agree with their views on the issues and they simply can't get their way.

we have been deporting people. the numbers of people coming in has been flat for ages.

the games are yours. if you don't like the labels you get, stop nominating people who call mexicans rapists, a latina beauty queen "miss housekeeping" (which doesn't even begin to touch on the disgusting things your orange loser says about women) and stop cheering every time black kids get killed.

now go pretend that you don't vote for bigoted policies. in normal society, a man who re-tweets white supremacists wouldn't even be considered acceptable to have lunch with, much less represent this country to the world.

the bigger joke is that your ilk doesn't care if your electoral system is hacked by putin. how much must you hate your country.

Again the flat out lie that Trump called "mexicans rapists." He said rapists come across the border from Mexico, which is true and an entirely different thing.

This is how you prove what a political slut you are. If Trump was really what you say, you'd say the truth. But lies like this prove you are to be ignored. It actually defends Trump because you kill all your credibility and nothing you say is to be believed

Thanks for clearing this up, poor Donald was defamed by the MSM: See,

damn, trumpsers are such dolts. they prove every day why Donald only wins the uneducated angry white male demographic.

History shows N-word created by Democrats. The racists are in their party.

1885 illustration from Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, captioned "Misto Bradish's n*gger"

"There is a direct and strong link between the word ****** and anti-black caricatures. Although ****** has been used to refer to any person of known African ancestry.2 it is usually directed against blacks who supposedly have certain negative characteristics. The Coon caricature, for example, portrays black men as lazy, ignorant, and obsessively self-indulgent; these are also traits historically represented by the word ******. The Brute caricature depicts black men as angry, physically strong, animalistic, and prone to wanton violence. This depiction is also implied in the word ******. The Tom and Mammy caricatures are often portrayed as kind, loving "friends" of whites. They are also presented as intellectually childlike, physically unattractive, and neglectful of their biological families. These latter traits have been associated with blacks, generally, and are implied in the word ******. The word ****** was a shorthand way of saying that blacks possessed the moral, intellectual, social, and physical characteristics of the Coon, Brute, Tom, Mammy, and other racial caricatures."

JCM: ****** and Caricature

Do you know what year it is?

It's an election year. And the racists are still in the Democratic Party. Was that so hard?

no little boy... the racists have left the democratic party to join the GOP.

are you intentionally lying or are you just a moron?

Really? When did that happen?

[Correll]

The fact that you believe certain forms of racism should be legal does not change the fact that you are racist if you exercise that legal right.

And?

The topic of this thread is racism.

The topic of the thread is the left's use of false accusations of racism.

And the coming use of false accusations of sexism.

Back it up, or admit that you are spewing bullshit.


Your constant use of personal attacks is noted. YOu are an asshole.

BTW, I am pissed at how fucking rude you are. That is the exact opposite of sociopathy. But then again, you don't really mean it as it's dictionary meaning, just as something bad to accuse your enemy of.


LIberals are dicks that way.

There is not a Democrat anywhere that supports flying the Confederate Flag
That is a position of TODAYs Republicans who hide their racism in a broad States Rights position

Never deal in absolutes.

House Votes to Ban Confederate Flag at National Cemeteries - Breitbart

Georgia Representative Sanford Bishop was the only Democrat to vote no on the bill.

In a roll-call vote, the House voted 265 to 159 in favor

Of that 265 in favor 84 were Republicans 181 were Democrats
Of the 159 against the ban 158 were Republicans

Republicans voted 158 to 84 to keep that flag a-fly'n

I know that from the article. however my post isn't about the concept as a whole, its about your statement, which I quoted below to remind you:

[here is not a Democrat anywhere that supports flying the Confederate Flag

I showed you one Democrat who did. Your statement is therefore false, and I expect a retraction on your part.

Oh...thanks for the clarification

ONE Democrat out of 182

<a bit anal of you isn't it? You should have that checked>

Again, your mistake in making an absolute statement, words mean things.

Not to liberals.

 

[Correll]

Interesting observation from 50 years ago

But it is TODAYS Republicans fighting for the display of the Confederate Flag
TODAYS Republicans opposing affirmative action and voting rights
TODAYS Republicans fighting for States Rights

At least, you admit you lost 1964. Ha ha. Revisionist history again. It's not the GOP who wants to display the Confederate Flag but white Southerners who are Democrat. His name was Ernest "Fritz" Hollings, well-known Democrat -- senator from South Carolina -- is responsible for the Confederate flag flying over South Carolina.

The rest has nothing to do with racism.

There is not a Democrat anywhere that supports flying the Confederate Flag
That is a position of TODAYs Republicans who hide their racism in a broad States Rights position

the whole "states' rights" thing is a scam that they think would allow them to have jim crow laws again.

State's rights is not about ignoring the constitution, which would have to occur to re-instate Jim Crow Laws. The only way that would happen is if we get another Plessey type SC judgement that overtsteps the courts power, and ignores the 14th amendment.

State's rights is about letting the States manage things that are 1) Not Explicitly given to the Feds and 2) Explicitly protected as a right of the people by the Federal Constitution and incorporated onto the States as well.

Well, Reagan did give a tacit call out to racists when he introduced the term at the Neshoba County fair here in Miss kicking off his 1980 primary run. However, to me, you can make an argument that there is a necessity to have natl regulation of commerce (including healthcare and educational standards) but leave the social issue stuff up to the states. And, we can block grant stuff like fed aid to medical indigents and even special education (assuming we want to fund that nationally).

As for Jim Crow Laws, just enforcing the 14th prevents that from ever arising. And, yes the current Supreme Court is not enforcing the equal protection clause with states opting to make it harder for blacks and the poor to vote.

This one?! LOL!!

Sure. REagan gave a speech in a place where several miles away, a long time ago, something racist happened.


And this is presented as "Evidence" of GOP racism...



If you are forced to use such weak "evidence" it is time to admit that you are wrong.

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Insane ^^^

There is nothing liberal or violent about me or anyone reading the threads you post and concluding that you are way out of touch with reality. You make stuff up in your head and convince yourself that it is true, or lie.

The crazy right wing has shown to be (on this forum and at Trump rallies) biddable, sexist, racist, homophobic and misogynist.

The Right Wing supports Plutocrats and fears democracy, aka, WE The People.

Remember the Big Tent once claimed by the GOP? They dropped that fiction with the nomination of Trump. Bush claimed to be a "uniter", Trump is all about dividing the country in his quest for power.

The NYT printed the 281 people, places and things Trump has insulted on Twitter:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/28/upshot/donald-trump-twitter-insults.html

Keep in mind the Bible and President Lincoln's speech on a house divided. And many of Trump's loyalists seek to end the founders Great Experiment, a nation of the people, by the people and for the people.

ZOMG HE INSULTED PEOPLE ON TWITTER!!!!

On Twitter alone, now let's add the billion or so Muslims, millions of Mexicans, countless women, liberals, judges and justices, journalists, in fact the media in general. Each group and individual a member of each group insulted in his stump speech, off the cuff comments and let's not forget all the women he groped.

1. The Muslims are insulted by the fact that we won't just let them destroy Israel.

2. Mexico deserves to be insulted. THey have been terrible neighbors.

3. Women? Women in the rest of the world should have more to worry about than Trump. Hell the women in Europe should be so lucky as to have a Trump come along.

4. LIberals. Fuck them

5. Judges? Justices? WTF?

6. The Media? They are vile pieces of shit.

Listed by a bigot, a racist, a sexist/misogynist, a homophobe and an all around nasty curmudgeon.

You do nothing but call me names for 50 fucking pages and have the nerve to call me a "nasty curmudgeon?


You are the bad person here.


If you cannot grasp that, you will remain completely out of touch with reality.

That is all he ever does when the topic is beyond his grasp.

Whether one thinks the fed govt should be involved in elections when the constitution reserves that power for the states is up to individuals, but that was the message and Reagan delivered.

1. Atwater did NOT say that at the time. You are referring to an anonymous interview given 13 years AFTER the facts, which was not attributed by name to him till over a decade after his death.

2. In the interview, if it was Atwater, I've seen no information indicating that his strategy was every let outside of his head.

3. The primary alleged dog whistle was Crime. Crime was a serious issue in the late 60s.

4. There has never been ANY indication that the Fairgrounds were picked for the reasons you lefties accuse.

the mechanics of elections are are the province of the state. but those mechanics have to exist within the federal constutional guarantees of equal protection.

Yes, and O'Connor's explanation of her view of equal protection in Bush v. Gore is a nightmare. LOL W was going to win even if the feds had stayed the hell out of it, as they should have done.

You get called racist because of all the racist shit you say !

5 min in this place is all you need to get a good dose of deplorables.

FAIL

"This place" didn't block Obama. Congress did, and not very well at that.

They blocked Obama and vowed to do so before he was sworn in. Why do you think they did that? And why is your conclusion of why they did it better than someone elses who concludes they did it because he's black?

Your opinion means more than everyone elses?

Bitter partisanship?

My opinion matters more because it is supported by the bitter partisanship we saw with Bill Clinton, and now see with Hillary Clinton, both white.

Yes, because attacking a family that has given a son in defense of the country is always a good idea

Responding in kind is part of the gam . If they didn't want to be invoked they should not have invoked Trump first.
It's a simple fucking concept. No one is above reproach

Actually, sometimes you gotta pick your battles
A concept Trump does not understand

Attacking POWs and Gold Star Families is never a good idea

Using POWS and Gold Star families as partisan political operatives is the act of putting them into the partisan political battle.


The person that set them out there to attack Trump is the piece of shit.

It was Donny FeelnGrope who brought up POWs to attack McCain

Gold Star Families have freedom of speech to criticize a candidate for President who wants to restrict their rights as citizens even though they have given a child in defense of our country

YOu are an asshole.


McCain deserved to be slapped down. He was being an asshole.

ONly an asshole would take an counter insult and pretend that it means anything more than that.


Of course the Khan's had a right to speech, to publicly attack Donald Trump. No one has said otherwise. That was just you being dishonest.


BUT, in doing so, they choose to open themselves up to counter attack. THEY choose to step down off the pedestal of Gold Star Family.

You suck dick <fun when we get personal isn't it?>

If Trump disagreed with McCain attacking his supporters, the ADULT response would be to defend your base and attack what McCain said. The childlike response would be to attack POWs as losers

Khan had a right to point out that Trumps ban on Muslims would have kept his family out of the country. Also to point out that Trumps surveillance of Muslims would treat the family of a war hero as terrorist suspects.
If Trump thought otherwise, he should have said so
