I love how he quotes three Democratic congressmen(he didn't identify Harold Ford, Jr. or Bennie Thompson as such), as if they are non-partisan. Remember, only one party has a confirmed KKK member in its senior ranks at the Federal level, and it ain't the GOP!

How many times did their hero Clinton meet with the Pro-Life Congressional Caucus?

[Hi Heels]

Village Voice

I read no further.

[NYURepublican]

who reads the village voice anyway? Walking around in the village I never see people reading it and everyone passes it up from the hobos who are being paid to hand it out (it is free). If anything i only see them on the ground.

For four years Bush didn't meet with the Congressional Black Caucus ...

I don't recall Martin Luther King reaching out to the KKK very often either.
Maybe because both knew what sort of response they'd receive.

He didn`t meet with Arafat either.
This all would seem to make him a discerning person.Know thy enemies.

"Civil rights is a good education. Civil rights is opportunity. Civil rights is home ownership. Civil rights is owning your own business. Civil rights is making sure all aspects of our society are open for everybody."

This is bad? At least this VV leftist has admitted that they don't like the idea of black people and other minorities owning their own homes and businesses.

They're supposed to stay poor and enslaved on the democrat farm.

Village Voice is below my awareness level normally, but I see from a few lines that it is a socialist rag. The author is horrified that American citizens, rather than the state, might have control of their own personal resources and lives.

I think I saw some of this little conclave on CSPAN a week or so ago discussing the president's Social Security partial privatization and african-americans. All these smart, well-coiffed black people going on about how their fellow hapless, helpless, downtrodden and downright stupid little darkies could never be trusted with their own retirement decisions and needed "massa" to take care of them...

[TChris]

...he offered an insulting cliché: "Civil rights is a good education. Civil rights is opportunity. Civil rights is home ownership. Civil rights is owning your own business. Civil rights is making sure all aspects of our society are open for everybody." When you get past the rhetoric...

Just how did GWB supposedly get this wrong? These examples sound like very good functional definitions of "civil rights"

Social Security reform that turns over substantial hunks of a person's account to Wall Street, where the vicissitudes of the marketplace can yo-yo it up and down...

At the very least, SS has a chance to go up with private investment. The status quo has given us only the down.

Typical inflammatory, irrational brain vomit from the left...

[guitarist]

In short, either:

-you support huge socialist programs
OR
-you are mean spirited and are responsible for sickness, pain, and death (in this case, of blacks)...

"Civil rights is a good education. Civil rights is opportunity. Civil rights is home ownership. Civil rights is owning your own business. Civil rights is making sure all aspects of our society are open for everybody." When you get past the rhetoric, Bush's ownership society amounts to an unprecedented attack on black people.

What is an attack on black people is the racist Democrat plantation mantra that black men and women can never succeed without being treated as they were nothing more than helpless and not very bright children trapped in adult bodies.

Do you have to be a poofter to write for the Voice? I'm not familiar with this guy.
