America hating leftists never regret anything they do or say. There is no price to pay for being a racist pig......i.e: Byrd using the words white niggers several times within the past few years.
I also find it interesting that Sharpton admits he would have organized a protest if, say, Ed Koch had done the same thing. Apparently Sharpton only opposes racist language when politically convenient to do so.
Yep... Apparently it's okay to use that word if you receive Reverend Al's blessing.
The same Rev. Al that led protesters in chants of "Blood Sucking Jews" and "Jew Bastards," by the way.
Code for: I mostly agree politically with Nader.
"If Ed Koch had said what Ralph Nader said, we'd be marching," Sharpton noted.
At least he admits there is a double standard.
Demagoguery
Oh, I guess nothing would happen, considering Byrdbrain did it a couple of years ago on a nationally broadcast interview.
Wow, Sharpton pulled out his anti-semetism again by saying they would march if the (Jew) Koch said this! And suddenly this article ID's "consumer advocate Ralph Nader" as a multi-millionaire Ivy League grad. And how about the continuing idiotic refusal to print the "N word" like it was a religious taboo or something?
Koch is a liberal democrat. No reason for Sharpton to single him out except that Sharpton was on an anti-semetic jihad when Koch was mayor. Sharpton got people KILLED in a racist boycott. He is the last person to lecture anyone about bigotry. And Nader is leftist scum who lives like a king and acts like one too.
I love the smell of Dems fighting.
Bingo. This is Sharpton's version of selective anger, I guess.
How are we white crackers supposed to know when it's OK or not to drop the "N" bomb? Do we need permission? And from whom?
HEADLINE: liberal whites get a pass, conservative blacks are sellouts, yea right.
"It's not something that I would say," Ickes told me yesterday. "Having grown up in the 1950s and 1960s, I think it's not a word that whites can use.
"Not a word that "whites" can use? It is certainly not a polite word, I don't use it; never have.. but it's like an "exclusive" word only blacks can use? I guess the thinking is.. blacks can use the word because "they earned it"; whites haven't therefore, they are "excluded"? This is just stupid.
It's a crude, coarse, ugly word with ugly connotations. I wish blacks wouldn't use it either. Especially when referring "in the groove, jokingly" to other blacks. For that matter, Ickes shouldn't even be opining on who can or cannot use the word, right? I mean.. it was his party who condoned slavery and injustice against blacks..
I was unaware that there is a List of Words White People Can't Use.
I wonder who publishes this list?
This story will never make it to first base in the MSM.
Yes but Koch also supported Bush for re-election, so in Sharptons mind that obviously means Koch should be protested over Nader. Like another Freeper says, at least Sharpton admits he has a double standard. And I remember that as well, I live in NYC and there aint no bigger anti-semite than Sharpton, except for maybe Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson.
