I see David is channeling his inner Democrats
If we need a Grand Wizard, David, we can just rent one from the Democrats.
Way to show your true colors, guys. I hope black America is paying attention.
He meant to say “Grand Kleagle.” But that Byrd has flown.
No, Bryrd was a dem, maybe not the 'Grand Wizard', but up there. Dead but prolly voting in Chicago.
The Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist wing
of the DEMOCRAT Party.
David Gregory needs to ask the Wizard of Oz to give him a brain.
Too many featherless non-thinking media elites get paid too much for producing too much verbal excrement!
Hey David!
The Dem’s were the only ones with a “Grand Wizard” in their ranks!
These guys think they are 20X smarter than their enemies so I am sure he was surprised we got his slander.
Gregory is a stoopid F’ing bastard.
Sorry, I had to get that off my chest.
Rush on it now.
The Democrats gave birth to the Monster known as the KKK
The Democrats have been the real racist since before the Civil War.
The Democrats are the party of Jim Crow
The Democrats stared the KKK to intimidate
The Democrats are the party that never did vote for anti-lynching laws proposed by Republicans
The Civil Rights movement did not start in the 1960s it stared 100 years ealier, and it was the Democrats that harshly opposed giving former slaves Civil Rights.
It was the Democrats that began poll taxes, literacy test, grandfather clauses, hide-and-seek polling places, and several other ways to keep the Blacks from voting (because blacks voted 100% Republican).
It was the Democrats who would lynch Blacks & whites trying to advance Civil Rights for former slaves.
It was a Democrat who shot the Great Emancipator Abraham Lincoln.
And it was Democrats that did not elect their first Black to Congress until 1935 while Republicans have been doing it for 67 years.

The Democrats did not elect their first black American to the U.S. House until 1935, and he was from the North. The Southern Democrats waited until 1973. The first Black Senator was not elected until 1993.
Even more offensive than the obvious racial overtone of this remark is the suggestion that the Republican party is controlled by a single person. That might be the way the Democrat party works, but the Republican party practices democracy within it’s ranks. The members of the party are free to support who they wish to support. The Democrat party, in contrast, is controlled by a few agenda setters and all are expected to line up in lock-step according to their direction. That sounds a lot like a politburo and the peasants they control... Hmmm
Very true. All the “grand wizards” were wearing white hoods and sheets and leading the Democrat party.
Cain is democrat’s worst nightmare. They keep on the Romney chant, but they’ve got their game plan in place to take him down.
Cain could be the beginning of the end for the RAT party owning the black vote. Then it’ll be the Hispanic vote that
splits from the plantation. Unions are already eating themselves with no money for their extortion tactics on tax payers. They’ll never admit it, but Cain scares the hell out of them, as he has the best chance of beating Obama.
Everyone should stop reading FR right now and pen a letter of disgust for the racist remark made by their host. Post the text here.
Here is my e-mail to the Today Show:
“David Gregory’s racist comment on the Today show was overt and offensive.
To suggest this was a “poor choice of words” is further insulting. Only a racist would use the term “Grand Wizard” in a slip up or otherwise. Media figures have been suspended and fired for far less agregious “slip ups.”
Because my daughter asked me what a “Grand Wizard” was, The Today Show will not allowed on our TV until David Gregory apologizes to Herman Cain and the GOP for even suggesting a political party should have a “Grand Wizard” determining the political fate of People of Color.
Sincerely (and ashamedly),
- My real name was here.”
