liberals insane notion about when IDs are required

Jim Moran had a video posted the other day where a bunch of people from outside his district came in and disrupted his meeting. He's just a bit wary.

And he's going to win the next election anyway. :)

Fox News should be banned. Fucking liars.

This is why we need stronger libel laws in America. There's absolutely no disincentive to just make shit up, and huge incentive to. Glenn Beck and other conservatives take advantage of this loophole like made to feed into the naturally deranged minds of their conservative base.

No. It's a free country. Fox News should be ignored, and in general, most intelligent people do just exactly that.

Well maybe it was when Trent Lott, Senate Majority leader at the time said "When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over the years, either." Considering Thurmonds Presidential platform was based on racial segregation, thats a pretty racist comment.

Or maybe it was when Rush Limbaugh said "Donovan McNabb is overrated because the liberal media wants to see a black quarterback do well."?


Or maybe it was George Allens "Meccacca" commnet?

Lame rebuttal PiMP. It's comments like these made by Lott, Limbaugh and Allen, that allows the political opposition to define conservatives as racist. A better rebuttal would have been that the truth is, is that when these individuals made these comments, mainstream conservative Republicans denounced them for the racist comments that they are and made it clear that these individuals opinions in no way reflected the values and beliefs of Republicans or the conservative movement. The evidence for that is quite clear. Lott lost his Majority Leader Position, Limbaugh was fired and Allen lost party support in his re-election bid and it cost him his chances at being re-elected by his conservative constituency.

Since very few minorities vote for Republicans, I'd say the perception is that the GOP is racist.
 
Why would minorities vote for a party that supports policies directly against the best interests of minorities?

That is the perception but that's alls it is, is a perception. Both parties in fact contain racist. Neither party advocates racism. The perception of Republicans being racist is a generalization and like all such generalizations, when applied to a broad group of people, is wrong.

I'm not a racist and I was a Republican for 24 years. The vast overwhelming majority of Republicans I know are not racist. Do not advocate racism and generally speaking, dont' tolerate racist policies. It's the ranting of the wing nut fringe that give this perception which is magnified by partisans of the oppsosite stripe.

The same thing is true about Democrats. Most Democrats are free market loving capitalist. It's just the handful of lunatic fringe progressives that allow their opponents to paint the perception that all Democrats are welfare state socialist.

Until 1964, that would be a true statement. But this is not 1964 so that is not an accurate comment.

After they took control of Congress in 1892, Democrats passed the Repeal Act of 1894 that overturned civil rights legislation passed by the Republicans, including the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875. It took Republicans nearly six decades to finally achieve passage of civil rights legislation in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

It defies logic for Democrats today to claim that the racist Democrats suddenly joined the Republican Party after Republicans finally won the civil rights battle against the racist Democrats. In fact, the racist Democrats declared that they would rather vote for a “yellow dog” than vote for a Republican, because the Republican Party was
known as the party for blacks.

It defies logic to think that all of the racist Democrats suddenly rushed into the arms of the Republican Party after the Republicans were successful in helping blacks gain freedom and civil rights. In fact, Democrats declared that they would rather vote for a "yellow dog" than vote for a Republican because it was Republicans who fought to free blacks from slavery; amended the Constitution to grant blacks freedom, citizenship and the right to vote; founded the NAACP; and pushed to pass civil rights legislation in the 1860's, 1950's and 1960's over the objection of Democrats.

Democrats were perfectly happy when the racist South was voting monolithically for the Democratic Party. Yet, Democrats today have the gall to demean Richard Nixon for his "Southern Strategy" in the 1970's that was designed to reach out to fair-minded Southerners and get them to stop voting for the Democratic Party that did not share their values and had caused so much harm to blacks. It was Richard Nixon who first implemented affirmative action with the expanded 1969 Philadelphia Plan, assisted by black Republican Art Fletcher who was known as the "father of affirmative action enforcement." Nixon was also responsible for the passage of civil rights legislation in the 1970's. The transformation of the South from voting solidly for the Democratic Party was a 30-year odyssey, and Louisiana is still in the hands of the Democrats.

In 1854, when the Republican Party was founded, it was known as the anti-slavery party. The 20 Congressional founders wanted to end slavery not because it was the popular thing to do, but instead it because it was the right thing to do. At the conclusion of the Civil War, the first blacks elected to Congress were Republicans and from southern states. In 1898, when the Wilmington riots took place, 2,000 blacks and 1,000 white Republicans were lynched and forced from their homes by Democrats. The KKK was started by the Dixiecrats, who were Southern Democrats, affectionately known as yellow dogs.
