White Democrats are doing stuff for black people it’s okay to stereotype black them? Would that have been acceptable for Trent Lott, assuming he didn’t do anything for black people (whatever that is supposed to mean)? This is especially paramount since it was Reid, who in 2002, called then Senate leader Trent Lott’s controversial birthday comments to Strom Thurmond “repugnant.” Republicans have only asked for the same standard by which Lott was judged,
It is one thing for some white cracker to be this egregiously stupidly ignorant, it is another for any black person to descend to this level in search of some idiotic political talking point. If Tara would like to have the GOP do some winning on the issue of race it would be far more useful to reform the twits than ask that they be held to the same standard as Democrats. It should say something to her that this crap will only succeed with pig ignorant crackers and GOP check writers. Which do you suppose is more important in her "world?"
The larger point is that the GOP certainly does not want to be held to the same standard as Democrats, not in the least. If that were the case there would not be the occasional twit of color shilling for them - you'd have to go to Stormfront to find their constituency. I'm not sure any political party can do enough for the issue of race relations, not while it is a political football driven by cultural imperatives rather than sense, but it sure isn't someplace the GOP wants to try throwing rocks and especially not in regard to Trent Lott. If I were a GOP shill I'd do my level best to let Trent Lott be buried in the sands of American electorate short-term memory loss. That they would dredge him up only points at their desperation and stupidity in this area.

Chuck- What I think is going on here is this. Incidents like Lotts generate outrage, a true emotional response. The Repubs seek to gerenate faux-rage if you will,a media response. I don;t discount the power of faux-rage especially among the base but it is just that, fake. The Rs still seem to be stuck in the party as media event rather than party as political entity. Given America's media saturated environment this scares the hell out of me.
I suppose fauxrage is the object but I can't figure the audience it is intended to engage. The ones who will quietly eat this crap sandwich hardly need winning over. This is why the effort seems so completely stupid to me, flinging yourself off a high place to impress the rubes...
Well my leftard friend. You assume everybody that happens to disagree with you has to be a GOPer (repug) cracker. You couldn't be more wrong.
It just happens that I am none of the above. Fortunately, I have evolved beyond the liberal group think that has kept us away from progress. Yes, I belong to a minority if you must know..
States Rights? ok, you can type whatever you like - cracker.
