OUTRAGEOUS THINGS SAID BY RATS THAT DID NOT LEAD TO RESIGNATION

Trent Lott is a weenie and should step aside so that a Republican with huevos can lead. Apparently, he made the equivalent stupid statement 20 years ago. Trent, go play with your pom-poms and vote when they tell you it's time to vote.

What Lott said about Strom Thurmond was just stupid. The Dixiecrat Party thought blacks were equivalent to animals in the jungle. That is not what we Republicans believe. We believe in judging INDIVIDUALS by what they do and how they act.

That having been said, this thread is an opportunity to site all the outrageous statements made by RATS for which they never had to pay a price.

Have at it. Please provide a link for documentation.

Hillary Rodham Clinton --- EFFING JEW BASTARD STORY

Didn't I note somewhere around here that Armstrong Williams thinks Strom Thurmond is a decent and honorable man?

[Alberta's Child]

Looking for links to Jesse Jackson's "Hymietown" comment, Al Sharpton's "bagel-eating diamond merchants" comment, and Robert Byrd's "white n!gger" comment. That's just off the top of my head.

This is what Ronald Reagan had to say about Strom Thurmond. Do you think he should have stepped down from the Presidency for having said it?

RANGEL COMMENTS IN THIS ARTICLE

Harlem's Democratic congressman Charles Rangel attacked Republican tax cuts as pure race hatred. "It's not 'spic' or 'nigger' anymore," Rangel growled. "They say, 'Let's cut taxes.' "

No.

When good people say bad things

In the movie, "The Godfather," the godfather's consigliere, played by Robert Duvall, goes to Hollywood. Duvall attempts to get a producer to cast a family friend and singer in an important movie. The producer resents being strong-armed. He insists the family friend will never get in the movie, warning Duvall, "I don't care how many dago guinea wop greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork!" Duvall tells the producer that, no, his heritage is German-Irish. Without missing a beat, the producer promptly calls Duvall a "Kraut-Mick."

What's the point? The producer wanted to demean Duvall, thus the derisive epithets. And when he found out that Duvall was not Italian, no problem. He quickly changed the denunciation to make it applicable to Duvall's heritage.

This brings us to First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's alleged anti-Semitic remark. In an unauthorized biography, "State of a Union: Inside the Complex Marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton," former National Enquirer reporter Jerry Oppenheimer accuses Hillary of referring to Bill Clinton's former campaign manager as "a (bleeping) Jew bastard." Angry because Bill lost his congressional race, Hillary blamed the campaign manager.

Ms. Clinton, running for the Senate in New York, denies the remark. She'd better, because analysts call the large Jewish vote vital. Jewish Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., dismisses the allegation, "I've known Hillary Clinton for eight years, and she doesn't have an anti-Semitic bone in her body."

Schumer need not worry. For, when "good guys" like Hillary say bad things, the media applies a different standard. Yes, the remark allegedly occurred some 25 years ago. And, yes, the Clintons have Jewish friends and many members of the Clinton administration are Jewish. But even if that weren't the case, Hillary benefits from a media double standard.

When Dick Armey called Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank "Barney Fag," the media had a field day. An apology promptly followed. And, following a victory, black former California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown said, "Those white boys got taken, fair and square." No apology demanded, none followed. When Jesse Jackson referred to Jews as "Hymies" and New York as "Hymie-town," he first denied the remark. When Washington Post reporter Milton Coleman insisted Jackson made the remark, however, the reverend finally owned up to the slur. But Jackson called it an "error," and said, "Charge it to my head ... not to my heart." Now it is seldom mentioned.

New York's Rev. Al Sharpton called Jews "diamond merchants," and spoke of "white interlopers" who, he felt, did not belong in the minority community. Again, no problem. Indeed, presidential contenders Al Gore and Bill Bradley, during the Harlem presidential debate, showered praise on Sharpton, noting how much the reverend had "grown." Never mind that Sharpton falsely accused former Dutchess County, N.Y., Assistant State Attorney General Steven Pagones of raping Tawana Brawley. Pagones, along with his daughter, received death threats following Sharpton's accusation. When Pagones claimed innocence, Sharpton challenged Pagones to sue for defamation. Pagones did, and won. Sharpton refuses to pay one dime, apparently transferring his assets into his wife's name. As for an apology, fuggedaboudit.

Donna Brazile, Al Gore's campaign manager, referred to the Republican Party as the party of the "white boys." No apology demanded, none offered. And in his book, "The Dark Side of Camelot," Pulitzer Prize-winning author Seymour Hersh says that President Kennedy referred to African countries as "boogie republics."

During his presidential run, Arizona Sen. John McCain referred to his North Vietnamese former captors as "gooks." McCain apparently used the word many times over the course of several months, but only later did a reporter divulge the remark. What took so long? Well, remember, the media loved "maverick" John McCain, the non-Republican Republican. Similarly, the campaign manager at whom Hillary Clinton allegedly directed the anti-Semitic remark says he told reporters about the incident years ago. Yet no one, until now, published it.

All right. Assuming Hillary made the remark, what do we make of it? One of Bill Clinton's key former advisers was Dick Morris, a Jew. And Rahm Emanuel served as Clinton's chief domestic policy adviser. Clinton works with and has appointed several Jews to his administration.

On the infamous Watergate tapes, Richard Nixon made anti-Semitic remarks. Yet Nixon appointed the first Jewish secretary of state, Henry Kissinger. William Safire, a Jew, was an important Nixon speechwriter, and Leonard Garment served as Nixon's counsel.

In a letter, President Harry Truman referred to New York as "Kike-town." Yet Truman aggressively pushed for the establishment of the modern state of Israel.

People in anger say intemperate, insensitive and demeaning things. This is no justification. But fair-minded people look at one's history, background, friends, and actions before branding the speaker a bigot.

Fair is fair, and we should apply the same standard whether the speaker is Hillary Rodham Clinton, Rev. Jesse Jackson, or for that matter, John Rocker.

Santor Byrd being KKK.

[Revolting cat!]

And this, my friends, would have been Trent Lott's response had he had anything of substance in his trousers! What an opportunity to expose and defeat while they hand you a spot on the center stage!

Found this...

When Jesse Jackson referred to Jews as "Hymies" and New York as "Hymie-town," he first denied the remark. When Washington Post reporter Milton Coleman insisted Jackson made the remark, however, the reverend finally owned up to the slur. But Jackson called it an "error," and said, "Charge it to my head ... not to my heart." Now it is seldom mentioned.

Who was the violent bigot (democrat) representative from the northeast who said he just wanted to slap a white person for his mental health? Rumor has it that witnesses reported that Colin Ferguson uttered a similar statement just before he started machine-gunning 'whitey' on the subway. And didn't Cindy Mckinney remind America that its most notorious hypocrite, Al Gore, had a 'low negro quotient.'

[Alberta's Child]

Good find. I remember when Al Sharpton was running around making those "diamond merchant" and "white interloper" comments. There was a Jewish talk radio host in New York at the time named Jay Diamond, and for a while after that he would introduce himself at the beginning of each show as "Diamond Merchant Diamond." LOL!!

Cynthia McKinney's dad, a state representative, assigning blame for his daughter's defeat (which she chalked up to legal cross-over voting that she wanted declared illegal after-the-fact): "It was the Jews. J-E-W-S."

IS RACISM A WHITE THING?

August 2, 2002

For as long as I can remember I have heard that racism is a white thing and that blacks can't be racist. But wonder as I might, I cannot figure out why anyone can even assume that racism is the exclusive domain of whites. The pure unadulterated truth is that racism is just as pernicious in the black community as anywhere else. For many years, blacks would have the rest of us believe that racism was a "white thing" but any thinking, sane individual would acknowledge that this is not so. To help prove my point, here are some of the lesser vile comments made about black conservatives or just blacks that think differently. The pejorative terms that are used below refer to people like Ward Connerly, Justice Clarence Thomas et al, to make the ludicrous statement that they are not "real blacks."

* At a recent national convention of the NAACP, Julian Bond, the chairman stated, "Ward Connerly is a fraud and a con man."

* Jesse Jackson, Civil Rights leader, called Connerly, " a house slave" because of Connerly's opposition to affirmative action.

* The late columnist Carl Rowan stated, "if you give Thomas a little flour on his face, you'd think you had [former Klansman] David Duke."

* Willie Brown, mayor of San Francisco called Thomas, "a shill for the most insidious form of racism." He added that Thomas, "should be reduced to talking only to white conservatives and must be shut out" by the black community.

* Manning Marable, political scientist, asserts that Thomas has "ethnically ceased being an African American."

* Spike Lee, movie director, calls Thomas, "a handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom."

* Author June Jordan calls Thomas "a virulent Oreo phenomenon, a punkass and an Uncle Tom calamity."

* Late dean of New York Law School, Haywood Burns called Thomas, "a counterfeit hero whose ideals had crushed or forever deferred the dreams of millions of blacks."

* Julienne Malveaux, columnist told a television audience, "I hope [Thomas's] wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter, and he dies early, like many black men do, of heart disease - he's an absolutely reprehensible person."

* Former NAACP executive director Benjamin Hooks denounces black conservatives as "a new breed of Uncle Tom and some of the biggest liars the world ever saw."

* Historian John Henrik Clarke calls conservatives, "frustrated slaves crawling back to the plantation."

* The late Khalid Abdul Mohammad stated, "when white folks can't defeat you, they'll always find some Negro, some boot-licking, butt-licking, bamboozled, half-baked, half-fried, sissified, punkfied, pasteurized, homogenized Nigger that they can trot out in front of you."

Now the question that lies before us is simply this, why is this kind of slander acceptable from blacks and not whites? Is this not racism in black face or is it only relegated to white faced individuals? Why is the name Uncle Tom suddenly analogous to blacks who share different views and opinions? Why is it that in order to be considered a "real black" in certain quarters it means that you have to agree with the notion that every black is a victim and that "whitey" must pay for hundreds of years of slavery?

Depending on whom you listen to there maybe different responses to these questions but the real truth is this, blacks who believe as these individuals do are comfortable in their own victimization. It is much easier to paint Justice Clarence Thomas, Ward Connerly, Thomas Sowell et al with the same brush because they do not take part in the crying game. The crying game is as pernicious today as it was ten years ago. It raises its ugly and repressive head and sprays its venom over the most innocent among us who have been convinced that "civil rights leaders" know what's best for our community. Somewhere along the line it was decided by crying game blacks that anything other than a direct assault on the "other" is a direct betrayal of the black race. These professional civil rights leaders have made a name for themselves by disparaging conservative blacks and anyone else who: think that affirmative action is a setback to the black race; who think that the welfare system is nothing but modern day slavery; and who think that the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King is being eroded every day not by conservatives but by those who serve as a mockery of the civil rights movement. If we continue to listen to the crying game blacks we will only serve to hasten our death as a community.

Didn't X42 just dedicate a pricey statue to that segregationist Fulbright, calling him an American we can all be proud of?

Yes, the Sinkmaster dedicated a statute to racist Fulbright.
