Maybe old Cokie should spend a few minutes in a Southern state in modern times instead of going off of impression based in the past before she opines on this subject.

The South ain’t what it used to be under Democrat rule.

“Cokie, a Democrat, is a member of the party that endorsed Jim Crow laws and lynched blacks.....”

Comparing the two parties today with those of 75-100 years ago is a bit pointless, but yes, it were the Democrats that tended to be segregationist.

The Dimocrap party of today has now been taken over by the Marxist/Communist. They might as well merge with the CPUSA.
Given their way, America will resemble the now defunct USSR.

Nah, and if I were Laz I’d keep “Little Laz” out of harm’s way! Just the thought of what you are proposing send chills down my spine!

Isn’t ID required to cash a SS check?

That skank Cokie is a Democrat so naturally she would oppose laws that promote the integrity of the election process. I have yet to hear a single one of these scumbags explain why Democrats need ID to get their food stamps, welfare EBT cards, and Section 8 housing subsidies, and all the rest of their handouts, but shouldn’t need ID to vote.

From the Wikipedia entry of her boggy bullfrog of old man:

During his tenure in Congress, Hale Boggs was an influential player in the government. After Brown v. Board of Education he signed the Southern Manifesto condemning desegregation in the 1950s and opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Yet unlike most southern congressmen of his era, he supported the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Open Housing Act of 1968.

So he despised the Negro himself and yet saw the writing on the polling booth wall. Well, isn't it just fine for Missy Cokie to expiate her shame by smearing others as criminals...one can only imagine the slurs and degradation dealt out daily in the hallways of home and office at the historic, palatial Chez Boggs...

And no I don't wish her a well day on earth, regardless of her sainted old mother's passing...Cokie Roberts would rather see the likes of me and mine up against a wall, or in shackles out in the shed like the blacks her great-granddaddy used to OWN.

Cokie and her verminous family will do just fine on her own using you and me and those who think like us as fodder and grist and bonemeal to cover over their greed and guilt and hate.

“What’s going on about voting rights is downright evil because it is something that really needs to keep going forward not backward.”

I would really like to ask Miss Cokie what is "backward" about requiring photo ID to vote.

Shouldn't one have to prove that a.) they are who they say they are, b.) a citizen, c.) a resident of the precinct and d.) of voting age in order to cast a ballot?

If not, why not? Shouldn't voting be as easy as a.) cashing a check, b.) driving a car or c.) buying a gun?

She made a dumb statement...and she wasn't challenged on it.

Cokie, as always, is confused. What is downright evil is what Holder’s Dept. of Injustice has done with the Voting Rights Act.

The Voting Rights Act should never have been extended by Bush and the Republican congress. It should have died a well deserved death. Now all it does is give the Alinskyites avenues to ensure Dhimm districts.

Cokie (and her idiot husband) have gotten hold of some bad mushrooms.

Cokie was never the brightest bulb on the tree.

She is a mouthpiece.

Cokie’s daddy and mommy were both big-time Dems. Hale and Lindy Boggs. Her brother, Tommy Boggs is a big time Dem lawyer/lobbyist in DC.

“Isn’t ID required to cash a SS check?”

Could be. I opted for direct deposit. Our postal service is a bit “iffy.”They deduct for Medicare, so that saves me the trouble of mailing in a check.

Long-time NPR marxist hag, Roberts is now 70 years old....and probably doesn't want anyone seeing an up-to-date photo ID of her.
