Lott was only spilling GOP's dirty little secret

Houston Chronicle ^ | December 15, 2002 | FERNANDO DOVALINA

[Flyover Country]

Stopped the subscription to the Chronicle years ago. It was either that or line the bottom of the bird cage. Also was useful in paper training the dog.

Dovalina is a playwright who retired as an assistant managing editor of the Houston Chronicle. He is one of the founders of the Houston affiliate of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.

Sounds like a segregationist association of journalists

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I know. Lott should have the simple integrity to step down from the leadership, and to take a back seat. Whether he thinks he is electable or not in the future is up to the people of Mississippi. I wouldn't even dream of saying he should be a leader again without him explicitly repudiating the segregationist and neosecessionist groups he's been cozy with in the past (and no more "the GOP is the real heir of the spirit of Jefferson Davis" comments).

[Inkie]

I think it is quite obvious that they do not.

[Howlin]

They have ignored Lott's remarks for YEARS.

Chickens, home to roost, all that.

Now WE are paying the price for not policing our own.

No matter how hard I look, I still do not see the words "Republican Party."

[Howlin]

I know I've been thinking long and hard about my own upbringing, my past attitudes and my current attitudes.

Me, too!

Maybe we should take this opportunity to examine ALL our "long held" views about race. Let's get it out in the open and discuss it; it's the only way to defuse the issue and take it away from the Democrats.

[Howlin]

Isn't that a slap in the face to the Democrats; especially when you add in the fact that even the Democrats didn't support Johnson. It took the Republican votes to get the bill passed!

[Terry Mross]

Here's another thing LBJ said when he appointed Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court: "When people look into that office I want 'em to see a nigger sittin' in there." And, of course, he doesn't believe that Hillary said "F...Jew Bas..." nor does he believe Clinton told his Arkansas State Police driver to "Get me away from these niggers."

But what I find most amazing is how these liberal press suck ups "know" exactly what everyone else is "thinking".

This author is an idiot.

Well, so many targets from such a short article, let’s start off with the following:

From the article - Dovalina is a playwright who retired as an assistant managing editor of the Houston Chronicle. He is one of the founders of the Houston affiliate of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.

First we have a former assistant editor of the Houston Chronicle who appears to be very liberal and bias towards republicans. So we have a member of the press with an agenda. So much for reporting the news, no Mr. Dovalina wants to create the news to further his agenda.

Second we a founder of a Hispanic Journalist association. Want’s the matter, the National Association of Journalists not good enough for you? Or are you a racist? Someone who only associates with their own group? Want is the make-up of the membership of the Hispanic Journalist association, any non-Hispanics? If not, why not?

Third point Minorities know the code/buzz words, too, of course: "states rights," "affirmative action," "special interests," "special rights," "liberal ideas," even "Al Sharpton," even "Hillary Clinton." . Well the ‘old’ only Minorities can define what is a racist remark. Thanks. Now when a newspaper, such as the Houston Chonicle prints a story about environmentalist special interests, I will now know that is a RACIST group. Thanks for the heads up.

Bottom line, minorities know Republicans are racists because they use words which the minorities have determined to be racist if used only by Republicans. If used by minorities or their supporters, then the words are not Racists. Example:

Mr. Dovalina states” I would like to meet with Hillary Clinton”, meaning – an opportunity to talk with Hillary Clinton.

President Bush sates” I would like to meet with Hillary Clinton”, meaning – President Bush would like to drag Ms. Clinton behind his pick up truck, just like he did James Bird while he was Governor of Texas.

See how easy “Lib Speak” is boys and girls. You can not take the most innocent comment and turn a Republican into a racist.

Still not convinced? Well let’s translate the phase from President Bush ”I would like to introduce Secretary of State Colin L. Powell to say a few words...” Shoot we all know that translates to “the house N...., will now shuffle up here, hope he doesn’t trip on the chains, and shuck and jive to keep you’ll amused.”

And the Libs think they can unite the nation with this type of article.

[DumpsterDiver]

Gee. You ought to take the rats on a trip....

I'm not gettin' what you're saying here. Are you saying that I should send all the rats a one-way ticket to hell?

[Terry Mross]

You gotta' wonder who us good ol' boy racists would vote for if whe didn't have the GOP.

[Paulus Invictus]

err...How else do you feel about LBJ? (and you were right), but I can't recall which dram of couth the X42 had. Please clear it up.

[bimbo]

Nothing subtle about the DNC's code words. Byrd.. [KKK, N-word, racist letter against blacks in the military, marathon filibuster of a civil rights bill], Hollings [cannibals], Hillary [F-ing Jew Bast-d].

The Dems have others not so subtle: "Bull Conner," "Lester Maddox," "George Wallace," and, of course - Bill Clinton's favorite - "William Fulbright."

[bimbo]

I'd be very interested in having that confirmed. I'll check out google asap. You have a link or can you site a source? That is no small quote. Man!

I've heard that Johnson quote, too. The trouble in finding a reference is that most newspapers have "pc-sanitized" their databases of Democrat embarrassments.

[robertpaulsen]

I'm curious. Lott said the same thing in 1980 and ......nothing. If it's bad now, wasn't it bad then?

[Howlin]

It was bad then. And he didn't learn anything, did he?
