They're getting lazy on the Liberal Plantation and Bubba and McAwful still haven't figured out how to give the house slaves a sound whippin.'

Typical of the DumbNC. They always think money is the solution. Yours, of course.

May they rot in peace. Ok, I'm just kidding about the peace part. :)

I got news for you, Donna. It was never a love affair. To DemocRATS, blacks were nothing but ....well, I can't say it, but it rhymes with Gores.

[Nick Danger]

I thought Frank Lautenberg, Walter Mondale, and Nancy Pelosi were all honorary Black People, like Clinton. Does this mean they're not?

[Dog Gone]

We'll see in the Louisiana senate election on Saturday. If blacks don't show up in large numbers, Mary Landrieu is toast.

[Southack]

This is just a plea for more money and power for herself.

If Brazile had been serious about the slights handed to Blacks by Democrats recently, then she would have at least mentioned the insult to Jackson when McAuliffe was bumped up over him to head the DNC, or that Page had been walked over by Mondale for the Senate nomination in Minnesota, or that Pelosi had dissed Ford for House Minority Leader, or that the leading Black candidate for governor of Louisianna had been snubbed by Landrieu.

If Brazil had been serious about Democrats losing ground to Republicans on the topic of promoting Blacks, she would have alluded to Clarence Thomas getting his Supreme Court nomination from a Republican President, or that Rice and Powell and Paige were in higher positions under Bush than any Black in Clinton's cabinet after Ron Brown.

But even though she isn't serious, she's flirting with fire. This issue could explode in the Democrats' hands.

"In massive numbers we still can't go and pull that Republican lever, but we can still stay home." ,/i>

You want to know why? Because if traditionally democrat supporting African-Americans went to the polls and pulled the Republican lever, that would mean they had to admit that all along they were duped by the RATs for 40 years. I'm not blaming them its only human nature to not want to admit you were wrong. But at some point, they have to suck it up and send a message that they want their independence and support true American values, not socialistic pandering.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Blacks may not ever be willing to vote GOP in substantial numbers - but they showed they can decide elections by just not voting.

Blacks are now alienated by the Democrat Party for several reasons. They know its leader Klinton pardoned Marc Rich while seemingly every black person in America has a relative close enough to name doing 5+ years for just having one rock of crack under Klinton-signed drug laws. They know inner-city government schools - a Democrap monopoly - suck, and that their victims are nonwhite. And they know that the Democrat Party - which totally depends on black votes - is totally dominated by a nonminority nomenklatura of leftist social-cause outfits, incumbent politicians, and staffers.

[Revolting cat!]

Send Donna back to Brazil!

[bayareablues]

Time to redouble our efforts at outreach to this community. There seems to be lots of gloating in the GOP ranks since the midterms. We should not underestimate LalaPalosi, nor call Hillary irrelevant, nor think the Dems cannot lure African-Americans back with the promise of more social programs. Overconfidence breeds defeat. Our message of lower taxes and border control should resonate with the African-American population.

[slimer]

Donna could set a good example by leading the way swithching parties

In massive numbers we still can't go and pull that Republican lever, but we can still stay home."

Hehehehehe....that is why they fail. Don't they realize that a "Swing vote" is really worth 2 votes?

Think about it this way. Florida went to Bush by 537 votes. That means that if 538 more blacks had voted for Gore then he would have won. Or it also means that if 267 swing votes had gone the other way then Gore would have won.

Work for those 538 votes, or work for those 267 votes. Which one of these two choices do you think the pragmatic politician with a campaign budget to keep within is going to select most of the time???

Hehehehe.

[shiva]

Maybe she's trying to 'pay back'. Remember this from Magazine Watch June 2000?

You’d think quota-sensitive reporters would lament Al Gore tabbing a member of the old white boy network to head his campaign, snubbing a top black aide on his own staff. But both Time and U.S. News praised the selection of Commerce Secretary Bill Daley but gave Gore a pass on bypassing one of his top aides Donna Brazile, a move that according to the Drudge Report had many within Gore’s camp fuming. "She is the real star of this campaign...I can't believe she was overlooked for the top job," Drudge quoted one Gore source.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Although African-American turnout in 2002 was similar to that of other midterm elections, Brazile still termed it "unsatisfactory,"

For it to be "satisfactory," Brazile would expect Blacks to vote more than once. That's for the live Blacks. She's reasonably satisfied with dead Blacks only voting once.

[Leisler]

"..Brazile attributed the diminished turnout to the fact that the party spent less money in 2002 on minority outreach..."

Minority outreach, read that as cash to preachers, union heads, local politicos. She is just getting the word out that she is fighting for the economic well being of "her people." Not african american voters, but their local capos that do what they are paid to do, lead their people to the voting booth with visions of the promise land just one more election away.

"In massive numbers we still can't go and pull that Republican lever, but we can still stay home."

How many more handouts can the democrats promise ?
They control nothing and any more radical proposals will turn off independents
All they can do is demagog fear etc and that is wearing thin.

Would you please explain why post #13 was pulled, for it merely was a quick and very real reflection of the language used by at the least 19% of the black population and more of the rest of the nation than the "Political Correctness Police" want to admit.

I have used the term in a descriptive nature, much as most who are familiar with the south would call "White Trash", not necessarily in the Hillary Clinton term, for all Southerners who did not contribute to make her a queen were called white trash, amongst other derivatives.

Is FR becoming so Politically Correct or "sensitive" that the use of the word nigger, regardless of capitalization, is now out of bounds, even thought the word is used by most of the country?

If you want to monitor the use of that descriptive, then that decision is warranted, but to take every post that uses the "N" word (since that is only what Free Republic will allow) off the netways is quantifiably ridiculous, for the nomenclature has been, is, and will be used for decades to come, regardless of anything the loser Jesse Jackson, the NAACP or any of the others who have obviously frightened many of the US public.

Quick and private would serve a fine purpose, for I haven't any reason to put this site in jeopardy for a silly word that the media and a more than a few "African Americans faux leaders" use without concern.

I will abide...
