No more racist than this.
Proposition R: Renaming the Oceanside Water Treatment Plant - San Francisco County, CA

Shall the City change the name of the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant to the George W Bush Sewage Plant?

Fiscal Impact from City Controller:
Should the proposed ordinance be approved by the voters, in my opinion, it would have a minimal impact on the cost of government.

Meaning of Voting Yes/No
A YES vote on this measure means:
If you vote "yes," you want the City to change the name of the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant to the George W Bush Sewage Plant.

A NO vote on this measure means:
If you vote "no," you do not want the City to make this change.

LOL... Is that real, or a prank?

You know Pelosi's district will overwhelmingly vote YES on it as well.

---- ooopppsss...---

That's already six years old, and passed by more than a 2:1 margin!

OK, what sewage plant can we mane after Obama?

Many conservatives don't consider the confederate flag racist.

So, if they don't consider it racist, is it racist? Don't you have to MEAN it to be racist in order for it be racist?

Face facts, both sides will do and say whatever it takes to win elections. It is really THAT simple.

In other words, you really don't want to check for yourself whether one side makes significantly more racist statements than the other side. Afraid of what you might find, hm? Probably not...because you already know what the result would be. And yet you still make the same political choice.

LOL,,, not at all. Been called names too many times to get upset about it anymore, and that's what I'd teach my kids. Sticks and stones now are a different story.

mm-hmm...riiiight. Yeah, if only the blacks would stand quietly by when racists call their children n***ers, then everything would be just fine, huh?

That leaves us with two possibilities - either you're being incredibly naive...or you're being disingenuous.

You don't know what my political choices are. I've heard both sides say some pretty outrageous things. Nothing surprises me anymore.

The subject was not about bills passed, but about the head of the chamber not allowing votes, which is highly prevalent in the Senate. Reid won't let bills be voted on and you are Ok with that. No difference between the two.

I don't really have time to dig up the particulars on that one, so I'll give it to you. Besides, if I want to point out epic obstruction by the GOP, all I need to is point to the simple fact that nearly HALF of all filibusters of presidential nominees have been made since Obama became president. How anyone can think that's somehow "business as usual" is beyond me.

What child are you talking about?
Click to expand...

If you yourself have a child, and if that child happens to be, say, black...and if you dearly love that child as any good dad does, are you seriously going to claim that if a bunch of racists come up calling your child 'n***er', that you're just going to ignore it and keep walking?

Some dads would...but only if they felt outnumbered.

Funny ****. When it's a democrat...the cry of FOUL! or Deflect! rings out.

A racist from Nebraska? Impossible, racists are all from the South, right?
 
SEVEN votes for yes now!
 
I really don't care.

(it's not racist but it is somewhat offensive, but honestly, whoever is freaking out about this needs to go outside)

Well, let's see, we were discussing a stupid float in a Podunk parade....until you made it about a dead man. Because the whole idea that we can't blame Democrats for all the evil in the world...well, we can't have that can we?

Gotcha. Opinion. Certainly establishes the Presidents belief about Pennsylvanians and Mid-Westerners.

Not opinions, facts based on observations of certain people's behavior. Plus, I'm white, so other white people will confide in me with their racism towards people who aren't white.

You forgot one possibility, intelligent. :mrgreen:


ps. If racists were calling people that name and got 'zero' reaction, they'd be less likely to keep using such an ineffective moniker. ;)
