From my experience, dog fighting is popular throughout the South, with the Rednecks as well as the AA’s

Vic was not just involved in dog fighting, he personally tortured and killed defenseless dogs. This makes him inhuman.

It does seem that some posters on FR feel somehow threatened if someone indicates sympathy for a mistreated animal.

I would like to ask Ms. Harris-Perry why it’s so prevalent among upper class black women to use hyphenated surnames. Do they think it sounds classy. Is it a feminist thing. Or is it a way to dispel the “stereotype” of the unmarried African American woman. I’m curious.

Well, the host asked her to explain, from a historical perspective, why people are still so mad at Vick. Ms. H-P said white people historically treated blacks like animals and even called them apes. Then she went on to say people (presumably whites) love animals- but only certain ones. They don’t care about chickens or pigs, but they really like dogs. Hence, the reason white people are so mad at Vick is because he’s an animal whites don’t like (an ape) who was really mean to an animal whites do like- dogs. At least, I think that’s what she meant.

She's more representative of liberals than most...

Articles that explain how modern liberals suffer from a mental disorder.

I think the “curse” is in full effect.

Consider. In his last 2 games, against The NYG and the Vikes, he played a total of 120 minutes and except for the miracle against the NYG which saw the eagles score 4 times in 7 minutes and about 40 seconds he has been totally dominated for the other 117 minutes.

I'm white. I love dogs. I also love chickens and pigs.

...Right next to the rice and gravy, fried okra, and cornbread.

I don’t think Vick should be excused.

I do think he should be in the NFL now.

I think he could have a dog maybe one day...let his supervised release officer determine.

I think he’s done enough “time”.

and count me with those who doesn’t think animal life is worth the ...what is the best way to put it?....well...I just don’t have the exaltation for animals some here do.

there is a lot of room between Mike Vick and Sungirl....I’m in there somewhere

oh...and for Yankees who as usual think they know it all here....dogt fighting is very unpopular amongst white southerners....in fact it’s scorned like incest

and they are precious few rednecks anymore..now white trash is just wiggahs..we have reached racial parity

PS...I love cock fighting...could care less

Yet another "animal life isn't worth as much as human life" post. I'll write this in your style so that you may understand.

It's not about the "sanctity" of animal life over human life.

You can post that kind of crap all day.

It is still not what anyone here is saying (except you Vick defenders).

What made the story so horrific is that Vick and his homies tortured the animals (outside of fighting them) and took a sadistic delight in their suffering.

Sadism is the derivation of pleasure as a result of inflicting pain or watching pain inflicted on others.

He probably had a raging erection while he tortured the dogs.

Vick is a disgusting piece of trash. No fan should ever have to cheer for such a POS on their football tram.

Based on the intellectual standards set by this ignorant, hyphenated racist, I’ve just awarded each of the speckled Koi out in my fish pond, a full-tenured professorship.

Hence your always warm posting style eh dear.

You just sorta gave yourself away

Professor Melissa Hayden-Perry is entitled to have a dog in this fight.

I wonder if the Hayden part of her handle comes from old Tom Hayden, the pizza-faced commie who was married to Hanoi Jane.
