6. "Paraquat pot"

During the late 1970s, a controversial program sponsored by the US government sprayed paraquat on marijuana fields in Mexico. [8] Since much of this marijuana was subsequently smoked by Americans, the US government's "Paraquat Pot" program stirred much debate. Perhaps in an attempt to deter people from using marijuana, representatives of the program warned that spraying rendered the crop unsafe to smoke.

Absolutely and it isn't potato salad BTW. Actually I think Reid ought to resign because he's a sh**head, sneak and a coward. This Marxist creep ought to be tarred and feathered...just for general practice.
The dems love to hammer the repubs for every misspoken word or something taken out of context, and they scream for a firing or resignation, so what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If luck will have it the last thing Reid see's is the heel of a voters boot on his posterior..

Yeah, the point is that when Democrats and Republicans alike call for resignation or impeachment because of what a person says, it is always unjustifiable, and plain stupid.
 
I don't think he should resign for the statement he made as a matter of free speech.

I think he should resign for selling out the people. In fact I think they should all resign, republicans and democrats.

This I would agree, and it seem to be that politicians spend more time and effort trying to do stupid things than actually trying to represent the people and run this country. This has become a Peyton place and the voters need to step up and start slapping some sense into these baffoons...or fire them one or the other. Actually just get rid of them...
 
I don't think Reid should resign - I think he should be kicked out - the Dems won't kick him out, so the voters will come November - but he already knows this so he will quit just before then claiming some lame excuse as to why he is (lol) retiring.

Anyway - I feel that he should go because what he said pretty much amounts to saying that a darker skinned person, or a person who speaks with a negro dialect, is not worthy of the position.

Sure, you can spin it to put it on the people and not him - that the people wouldn't vote for a darker skinned person who speaks with a negro dialect - but the people are the establishment of the nation, so he is saying that the establishment says a darker skinned person, or a person who speaks with a negro dialect, is not worthy of the position.

It is racist and it's an insult to the American people for that twirp to say what he did, and this is why he is history - bad history at that.

Do you think obama would have been elected had he sounded like a rapper or a homie, regardless of the color of his skin?

Come to think of it, would Reid have been elected had he sounded like Larry the Cable Guy?

I'm not sure. I had always thought our elected officials were expected to be able to speak standard English, but then, that was before the nucular president.

What is the point you are making. I don't understand the Carter reference. Tell me more, please.

He did not say what you said he said. He did not say that Obama was "Not worthy to be president" or anything close to that.

I think what he said was true. I guess you love the emperor's new clothes.:confused:
 
He was complimenting Obama, and insulting dark skinned blacks who don't speak like 'whitey'; that's what he was doing. And for that he needs to be frog marched out of Washington.

How was he insulting them by telling the truth? You are using political correctness as an excuse to trash him.

You never did answer my question. You used an ad hominem attack instead.

I can not take a comment like yours seriously. Trolling, trolling, trolling down the river.:doh

If you are saying 'Whitey' = good english, not necessarily true.....
I would have to say 'good English' is a direct proportion of how much education you recieved....;)
That's why when you sound like that, (white or black), you sound like a dumbass & it is usually true......;)

You must have your pants on backwards, accusing a conservative of using PC is a joke first off, you lose your credibility immediately. FAIL

Would you feel the same way if Reid had said something about "fried chicken and potato salad" in reference to blacks?

So, for the record, you believe that using archaic, racial stereotypes when referring to persons of color is always unacceptable, in any form. Is that about right?

Actually, the quote is "I got the fried chicken and potato salad!" and it was uttered by RNC Chairman Michael Steele, six months ago.

Steele: I’ll Attract Diversity To GOP With “Fried Chicken & Potato Salad”

Last weekend, in a sit-down with bloggers during the Young Republicans convention in Indiana, RNC Chairman Michael Steele revealed his strategy for attracting diverse Republicans.

Cameron Cowan of The Mile Hive, a Denver blog, asked Steele what his plan is for including “diverse populations” into the Republican party.

“My plan is to say, ‘Ya’ll come!” Steele said, adding, “I got the fried chicken and potato salad!”

I agree. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. And those who perpetuate racial stereotypes should be roundly criticized, regardless of political leaning.

So now we're all anxiously awaiting your similar condemnation of Steele, and your demands that he be drummed out of his position/party, tarred and feathered, etc. ;)

Michael Steele IS a black man, so he is allowed to make comments like that.

Try again.

Because Michael Steele is an important black leader, perpetuating racial stereotypes about blacks should be an anathema to him.

Careful. Your partisan racial hypocrisy is showing. ;)

So you plan on encouraging Sharpton and Jackson to do the same, aren't YOU?

Didn't you know that Steele is just an Uncle Tom. It doesn't matter if he's black, he's not allowed to talk about black people like Sharpton, Jackson, Holder, and the others are.

And Glinda has the nerve to call others hypocrites....:roll:

I always have. Sharpton and Jackson are a couple of clowns and their habit of using the race card at every opportunity is an impediment to achieving any real progress in solving racial issues in America.

But then again, I'm not the one jumping up and down in outrage, demanding that anyone be ousted/blackballed/fired/tarred and feathered for being a clown or an impediment to solving our racial troubles.

Only the right is doing that. While conveniently ignoring their own political leader's similar transgressions.

I'm shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED.
