Y'know dude, I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Why don't you provide the post to which you refer?

Oh, and by the way, your homework is late.

1. Find a post of mine where I say anything about Trent Lott. Just one. Go ahead. We'll wait.

2. Find another post of mine where I demand that anybody be run out of town on a rail.

Good. Then you agree that Reid had every right to say what he did. I knew you'd see the error of your ways.

I never said he didn't. And.. before you ask and ASSume again, I don't think Reid is a racist.

Now, if you can show where I said Reid had no right to say what he did, as you claim I did, I'll be glad to address your specious questions.

:doh I did not claim "Gill said Reid had no right to say what he did." What I said was, "then you agree" with me that Reid DID have every right to say what he did.

Jesus. It's like trying to have a conversation with a dining room table.

When you fail to supply the posts, I'll accept your apology. :2wave:

This is at least the second time I have seen you use this "Find my postings" crap. Why don't we view it like this....

1. Would you say that it is a fair statement to say that when Lott made his remark at a birthday party that liberals in Congress made hay out of it, and pressed the notion that he should step down?

2. if the answer above is yes, which it should damned well be if one is debating honestly, then how is it any different for repubs to now make hay over this?

Unless ofcourse, you are saying that what is good for demo's to level at repubs is not fair when turned toward demos....

I don't think I have to comment any further. You really have a hard time trying to make a point without lame insults don't you?? Very sad.

Exactly what "error" are you referring to????

In answer to 1: That's a fair statement if someone says "some" liberals instead of just liberals.

In answer to 2: If a Republican was dismayed by it being done to Lott then, they are being a hypocrite if they do it to Reid now.

If a Dem was doing it to Lott, they are being a hypocrite for not doing it to Reid now.

If someone thought it was BS to do it to Lott, and they think it is BS to do it to Reid, they are not being a hypocrite.

If someone did it to Lott, and they are now doing it to Reid, they are not being a hypocrite.

From what I can see, both Dems and Repubs have a preponderance of hypocrites.
 
Chill out people. You are making a mountain out of a mole hill. This is just the way that the establishment wants you to behave so you wont notice the real important issues. Don't let them dupe you, please.:)

yes, it would. When Lott made his famous statement, I took it to be a repudiation of the New Deal. Maybe that's what it was, but no matter, the Democrats made a big deal out of it and made Lott out to be a racist.

It isn't any different, of course. It's the usual partisan sniping, "your party did it too! Did not! Did too! Your party does it worse than my party! Does Not! Does too! If your party does it, then mine has to too!

It reminds me of fourth grade a lot.

If one party shoots barbs and makes mountains out of molehills, then the other must do the same. It's a cardinal rule of partisan politics.

BTW, the p*****ng contest between Gill and Glinda is getting tiresome to say the least.
 
Oh well, I guess if we did not have partisan :roll:sniping and everybody agreed then there would be no one left to kill and it might get boring.

Yes, yes they did, and I agree with you that Lott's statement was probably not racist in nature, just as I don't think Reid thought about what he was saying before he let it fly.

As usual Ditto, you make a good point. But precedent is precedent is it not? I would think that the two are comparable, and thus it should be Reid's turn to walk the plank. If not now, he surely will in Nov.

One of the rules for radicals from Allenski is to make sure your enemy has to abide by their own words and rules, while you get to break them. Precedent was set when demo's made such a stink with Lott, now we are supposed to turn our heads and not do the same for Reid....This has to be called what it is.

I don't agree with the part about the private sector. The only one I've seen locked up so far is Bernie Madof. The crooks in the private sector are intertwined with the political sector with unholy alliances designed to pillage the treasury. They all belong to the oligarchy that really runs this country behind closed doors.:(

I agree but the laws do exist, it's just that we don't enforce these laws nor do we demand it.
 
Glinda said:
What Reid would expect from his counterparts isn't the issue here. We're talking about YOU.

If you honestly believe Reid should resign for his use of racial stereotypes, why do you work so hard to avoid saying Steele should also resign for his use of racial stereotypes?

Here, I'll make it easier for you: Do you believe Steele should resign for his use/perpetuation of racial stereotypes?

Yes or no. Pick one.
Click to expand...
LOL, I am not working hard at all in regards to Steele, personally I think Steele should resign he isn't a strong enough leader. Therefor let him resign for what he said no argument here but, whomever makes the case about racial overtones in Steele's case...good luck. If for example Reid called Scott Brown a cracker, whomever would have the same problem making a case about racial overtones. The culture has changed and we have allowed groups of the same race to use derogatory terms in regards to race and when insults are directed at each other this has been considered the norm.

Yes, let's call it what it is. I believe I did just that: It is silly, childish partisan sniping. In other words, it is business as usual between the two major parties.

So if I read you right, and I think I do, your saying that republicans that put up with some of the worst political sniping over the last eight years should what? Just take it, and be quiet?

No, not at all. I would expect them to do exactly what they are doing. What I'm saying is that neither party has the high ground in this matter.

Should the Republicans take the high road, when the Democrats don't? I'm not sure. I wonder whether the voters would realize that is what is happening, and see only one party as being childish and silly, or whether they would take at face value what the opposition is saying.

I'm guessing that the Republicans are better off to just snipe back at the Democrats. The voters aren't paying that much attention anyway.

So, if I read YOU right, you are saying that Republicans should currently act exactly like Democrats did during those 8 years, proving that they are just as scummy, right?

As exampled by what, the recent Virginia, New Jersey, or Massachusetts elections? Oh, I think they're paying attention, I think the political tsunami that just hit Tuesday night demonstrates voter anger and participation.

Absolutely! The voters are so pissed that they would probably have voted for Satan!

Perhaps, or was the person causing the upset not an incumbent at all, but the opponent running on the Democrat ticket?

Maybe the people of Massachusetts aren't quite as Democratic as they are painted. They do have a Republican governor, don't they?
