"I see."

Quite obviously, you do not. I made a specific point of how silly it is to impugn a poster with racist intentions based upon their comments unless they prove themselves to be racist with repeated overtly bigoted comments. You missed that somehow, huh? You aren't racist, but you clearly do employ the liberal trick of trying to twist what people say to fit your own twisted agenda.

"I mention that you may have may used an unfortunate comparison and the first thing you do is call ME the bigot."

Here you go again. That is the exact opposite of what I wrote. I have watched you on FreeRepublic for years, so I know you're not that stupid. Well, neither are we. Your repeated use of Liberal canards and straw-men speakes to your own insecurity, nothing more, nothing less. Most signally, it says far more about you than it ever will about me.

I suggest a "time-out." Go back, re-read what I actually did say, then re-read your lame, transparent attempts at Liberal revisionist manipulation. You'll probably feel as silly (and hard to take seriously!) as you look to us when you pull this three-year-old crap.

And you would do well to remember, when you try to put words in my mouth, you'll get your nuaghty little fingers bitten again ~ just like you did here. N'kay? Run along now... there's a good lad.

;-)

There is no race or clan or tribe of humans in all of history who weren't at one time or another, for centuries, used as slaves. For America's blacks to feign that this is their issue, and theirs alone, only speaks to their lack of true historical awareness.

It also speaks, ironically enough(!), to their having been victimized by the Liberal Left into believing that their most persuasive calling-card is that of being America's perpetual "victims."

By buying into this steaming pantload, many blacks apparently feel that it is their birthright to do poorly in school, eschew learning proper language skills, and expect a "Gummint handout," most likely from "Obama's Stash," to make up for how badly they've been mistreated by society as a whole.

Never mind that the last actual black slaves died many decades ago, or that if they (as a group) would just get over this garbage being drummed into their heads by real racists like Wright, Sharpton, Jackson, and Farrakhan, middle-America would have alot more respect for them.

It's really hard for people who are not racist to have any respect at all for people who have no respect for themselves, and who prove that they still have none at every possible turn. Just listen to how blacks refer to each other, in an unending attempt to keep alive the vile epithets that, for nearly all of white America, would otherwise have died out almost 70 years ago.

Blacks can keep playing this "Po' downtrodden black man" role for as long as they feel it somehow serves them to do so, but it has gotten really, really tired and pointless. It's time for America's black community to grow up, and move on. If blacks really can make it on their own (and they know they can, the question is, "do they want to?"), then do it. If they actually can't, they should stop blaming others for their own lack of spine.

The free Racist Ride is just about over. Whites are getting tired of being victimized just because of the color of our skin. And when, in a few short decades, whites are the new minority, you won't see us in the street waiting for our handouts. We have too much self-respect.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what it means to me.

This is the thing Gargantua, I never called or impugned you as being a racist. I merely said the language was unfortunate.

Great. So what did you think about the actual point of the article? The discussion about who are the real racists, America's Tea Party or the neo-militant blacks and their enablers/appologists?

Since you're bound and determined to hammer away at one peripheral analogy within the entire piece (yet another Liberal ploy, by the way), I'm sincerely interested in your take on the posting as a whole.

I think once you start penning excuses and/or diversions for what is obviously a lying and unethical attempt at character assassination, you’ve already lost the argument.

Basically you played a childish game of “I know you are but what am I?”. Game over, they won.

But not attacking the underlying premise and intent of the accusation you subconsciously accepted it and responded by saying “Okay, we may be racists but you’re a BIGGER racist!”.

Nice debating there Sherlock.

Talking to yourself again? It is fun to watch, I'll admit.

How you seize upon these flights of fancy is amazing to watch. You concoct content out of, apparently, the dim and shadowy folds of your cerebellum which have nothing at all to do with the topic at hand... totally ad hoc and appropos to nothing. It's an amazing feat for someone absent extremely heavy medication. How do you do it? I am sincerely in awe.

Most of all, I thank you for the repeated bumps... that was my goal, you know. You're a prince among men.

"...a lying and unethical attempt at character assassination,"

Cut and paste, please. Now, the exact quote which you feel was a "lying, unethical character assassination."

Anything other than the direct quote which proves your allegation will be your admission that you either made the whole thing up, or hallucinated it...

...this is fun! I love you, Bobby J!

Haven't blacks voted around 90% for every Democratic Presidential candidate for the past 5 or 6 decades? Didn't Steele, Swann and other black Republican candidates for governor get between 10 and 20 percent of the black vote? You have far from proven your race baiting assertion.

Typical ethnocentric apologist mumbledygook from a transparently agenda-driven reverse bigot. Voting for someone because of their skin color is just as bigoted and racist as is not voting for someone based upon their skin color.

The Republicans are perenially the most anti-racist, minority-prone political party on any ballot, because it is the Democrat's pandering to minorities which is the most blatant attempt to keep them "on the plantation" waiting for handouts and pats on the head from "Bwana Massah."

Treating all people as true equals is the most un-racist, anti-bigoted approach to human interaction. The GOP practices this in virtually every instance, while Democrats are genetically incapable of such even-handed behavior. That minorities have for decades been systematically duped by Democrats into believing that their "Affirmative Action" is anything other than the most insidious, insulting, demeaning and de-humanizing form of brazenly racist bigotry is a disgusting deception, not to mention largely causal of the current and continued plight of inner-city minorities despite the civil rights strides that, for decades, the rest of society has made around them.

The dumbing-down of America knows no singular racial focus, as all of society have been exposed to the horrific fruit of its sewing, watering and tending by Liberal Academia over the past half-century-plus. But the most devastating destruction of the human spirit has occurred where this dumbing-down has been combined with the savage belittleing of the individual under "Affirmative Action," where the most capable and deserving are often turned away in favor of another whose minority status fulfills an arbitrarily decided, purely racist "quota."

True fairness and equality is, and must be, color-blind. Anything else is racism, period. That blacks vote more often for Democrats (and not just for other blacks) is not a dismissal of, or an explaining away of, the thrust of my article. It is actually further proof-positive of my posting's nail-on-the-head accuracy.

Since you asked. Thank you.

Nice strawman. Not address the point. If blacks vote around 90% for white Democratic Presidential candidates and tend to vote between 10 and 20% for black Republican candidate for governor, what is your bases beyond ignorance and race baiting for declaring that voting around 90% for a black Democratic candidate is automatically racist?

Also, why do black Republican candidates tend to get less support from Republican voters than white Republican candidates?

"If blacks vote around 90% for white Democratic Presidential candidates...?"

Over the past 50 years, the national average is 67%, not 90%.

"...why do black Republican candidates tend to get less support from Republican voters than white...?"

Please show us the statistics which form the basis of this racist screed. There are fewer black candidates who run as Republicans, but that is a decision made by blacks. Those blacks that do run in the GOP get support based upon their qualifications, not their skin color. Ask any black Republican... like Martin Luther King, Jr., J. C. Watt, Rod Paige, Carter G. Woodson, Frederick Douglass, or any of the other prominent black Republicans down through history.

Try to remember as you spew this phenomenally ignorant hootane drool that it was the Republican Party who freed the slaves and started the Civil War against the largely Democrat southern plantation owners.

Typical of an uninformed Liberal bigot to call my arguments "Straw Men" when that is all you offer in each of your screeching disinformation blatts.

Keep posting, genius. You true colors are showing.

Well, take us back 50 years all the way to the time when Southern Democrats were CONSERVATIVE. How about the national average over the past 30 years? Jimmy Carter received around 90% of the black vote. Same for Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton, Gore and Kerry. But blacks are racist for doing practically what they did previously for 6 white Democratic candidates.

Ask any black Republican... like Martin Luther King, Jr., J. C. Watt, Rod Paige, Carter G. Woodson, Frederick Douglass, or any of the other prominent black Republicans down through history

You named one elected official. Paige and Douglass were appointments. Woodson never held political office. All you have is Watts who only reached Congress (as opposed to Senate). Ken Blackwell couldn't win Ohio. Lynn Swan couldn't win Pennsylvania. Michael Steele can't win the Senate.

Try to remember as you spew this phenomenally ignorant hootane drool that it was the Republican Party who freed the slaves and started the Civil War against the largely Democrat southern plantation owners.

Another straw man. It is quite telling how folks like yourself repeat how it was the Democratic Party who pushed for slavery and segregation as opposed to saying that "liberals" pushed for slavery and segregation. The Democratic Party was formed under the philosophy of a weaker Federal government. It was during Reconstruction that many of the conservative Northern Democrats switched over to the Republican Party. The conservative Southern Democrats became Republicans after the Civil Rights Movement. Bull Conner was a Democrat, yet was conservative.

Also, Mr. Luther King SENIOR was a Republican. His son, the famous one, never publicly endorsed a party.

Typical of an uninformed Liberal bigot to call my arguments "Straw Men" when that is all you offer in each of your screeching disinformation blatts.

Typical of a bigot who spouts faulty racial generalizations to ignorantly declare anyone who calls him out on his bigotry a "liberal". Very cliche. Of course, not knowing a persons social and political views nor who that person voted for (Bush and McCain in my case) is meaningless. To many conservatives like yourself believe that in order to be conservative, you must bash racial and ethnic minorities. Black Americans are not adverse to conservatism. They are adverse to conservatives such as yourself. YOU and those like you are the greatest impediment to blacks voting Republican. But I feel that deep down you prefer it that way.

Site for the National Black Republican Association:

http://www.nbra.info/index.cfm?fuseaction=pages.blackgop

An excerpt from the wonderful site celebrating America's best-known Black Republicans:

"... He (King) and ninety others were arrested and indicted under the provisions of a law making it illegal to conspire to obstruct the operation of a business. King and several others were found guilty, but appealed their case. A Supreme Court decision in 1956 ended Alabama's segregation laws enacted by Democrats.

Note how it points out that the South's Segragation Laws were enacted, not by "liberals," but by "Democrats." In fact, laws are not enacted by conservatives or liberals, but by Republcans and Democrats.

Look at the three most outspokenly racist, divisively race- baiting figures in America's social and ploitical discourse today: Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and Barack Obama. All three are black, all three are Democrats. Hell, look at the top ten, and include John Conyers, Maxine Waters, Reverend Wright, Charlie Rangel, Carole Mosely-Braun, etc. I mean really... how much proof do you need before you admit it?

Blacks and Democrats are not only the most racist, race-baiting provocateurs alive today, they have actually made a cottage industry of fanning the otherwise dwindling flames of racial tension for their own cynical political gain, regardless of the destructive effects their actions and words have on the country they were elected to serve.

But, as you so aptly prove over and over again, there is none so blind as he who simply refuses to see.

BTW, are you black? I am.

Conservatism is the Republican ideology. When Republican’s stray from this ideology, that are called RINOs. Rush Limbaugh leads the Conservative Movement, not the Republican Party. The party is led by Steele, who is widely viewed as a RINO. While there is nothing racist about conservatism, historically and unfortunately, those who have been most inclined to express anti-black racism have tended to be conservative, whether Democrat or Republican. Today’s Democrats are nothing like the Democrats of the past.

Also, Louis Farrakhan is not a Democrat. He would be far from it. As a rule, he has no polical affiliation and being that he is anti-abortion, anti-government dependence, anti-gay, pro-traditional family and gender roles, anti-sex outside of marriage, etc., he seems quite conservative.

And there are others divisive individuals to add to your list:

Pat Buchanan
Charles Murray
David Horowitz
Ann Coulter
Rush Limbaugh
Steve Sailer
Carol Carter
James L. Hart
Jared Taylor
Gordon Lee Baum
David Duke
Glenn Miller

All Republican or Conservative

Beyond being quite liberal, please give me details of how Obama is “divisive”. Is he any more divisive than Carter or Clinton? The most divisive racial action out there is white flight.

And yes, I am black and conservative. I just don’t believe that black bashing and playing the reverse race card is a criteria for being conservative and such others holding such a criteria is, in my opinion, what fuels the very perceptions that turn blacks away from the Republican Party.

You come on here, pretend to be conservative, pretend to be black, and pretend that there is some correlation between race-baiting/fanning racial flames, and being controversial?

Take a clue, dipstink: this post is about "who are really racist ~ Democrat Blacks or The Tea Party." Your ignorant Liberal spew, and failed attempts to derail the topic at hand by calling Ruish Libaugh "divisive" is just more inane Liberal BULLSNOT. Jam it up your crease, and enjoy it, pantload. Thank you for all the free "bumps," you've proven my point with every vapid imbecilic femmy screed.

Good to know that you claim to be black. Just more proof in the pudduing, and icing on the cake. Post all you want, I won't be responding to your off-topic misdirections any more. But pleae, keep bumping the post, and "Thank you!"

"Beyond being quite liberal, please give me details of how Obama is “divisive.”

Let's up the ante a smidge here, shall we? I'll go you one or two better than that. I'll prove that Obama is not just "divisive," but that he is also an inflammatory racist bigot, and that despite likely not even realizing it, you yourself are as well!

Let's start by keeping two things in mind:

1. You claim to be both black and conservative.
2. Obama claims to have written "Dreams From My Father."

On July 22, 2009 Barack Obama went before the TV cameras and in his official capacity as President of the United States said the following: "I don't have all the facts here, but I will say this--the police acted stupidly..."

It is exceedingly rare to hear a sitting President actively speaking out against Law Enforcement, especially in a racially-tinged episode with far-reaching societal overtones. It is unheard of for a president to begin such a nationally-broadcasted public criticism with the admission that he still didn't have all the facts. To offer a conclusive opinion without knowing all the facts is the definition of "bigotry." This was a first for America. It was neither a "first" nor a "last" for Obama, who would later claim that an Arizona law would cause "rampant racial profiling" and allow "Dad and the kids going out for ice cream" to become likely targets of racial persecution-- despite that the Law in question specifically prohibits such actions by Law Enforcement.

In both of the above instances, Obama made repeated public proclamations which later proved to be erroneous, and which had at their core a shared potential for (if not design to) creating public unrest and distrust of Law Enforcement.

Hardly presidential, though extremely bigoted.

Obama's pattern of racist commentary is traceable at least to his years in college if not his childhood. In "Dreams From My Father" he explains that his Grandmother is a "typical white person" with the following explanation (as if the statement isn't racist enough without one, never mind this one!).

"If she saw a black man on the sidewalk coming toward her, she would cross the street to avoid passing too closely..."

Are there white people who do this? Of course there are. Are these "typical," i.e., representative of the majority of whites? Absolutely not. In fact, in order foer one to either believe, or merely to state for effect, that such behavior is typical of all white people requires extremely bigoted thinking. Bigots take the extreme actions of the few, and paint them as being representative of the entire group. It is just how hate is done... when you're a racist.

This comes quite easily to Obama, who admits to having been steeped in the very worst of radical racist traditions from his years as a child at the knee of Frank Marshall Davis to his years in the pews of Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Only very committed extremist racist bigots would say any of the above, yet Obama has said all of them. Racist. Bigoted. Inflammatory. All for political gain, at the expense of a nation's decades-long attempts to heal, and come together.

This above addresses my assertion concerning Obama's amply demonstrated racist zealotry. As to you, let's take off the gloves here. You are aware, and have been for some time now, of everything I just related in these paragraphs. Yet you have the balls to ask me to demonstrate how it could be that I call Obama a divisive, inflammatory racist bigot?

Thank you!

I rest my case, but it was you who made it for me.
