Farm subsidies and the KKK
 

I despise Byrd, and am not "rushing to his defense."

Last week, I noted that Helms continues to insist in his new autobio that segregation was a good and wonderful thing that would have ended naturally, due to the inherent goodness of southern white folk, if only those uppity niggras and jew activists had gotten involved. Club responded that Helms must have learned that from Byrd. This week, Byrd came out, and at least admitted that joining the KKK was "a mistake." Not evil, but a "mistake" (sort of like the Pope's view on being a Nazi, but whatever).

Cue the Wahhabi Repubs to explain how Dems are all racist because Lincoln freed the slaves.

You have redeemed my once and former crush on you. Carry on.

The Bible tells us, "Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord" and it is my understanding that Koresh was the second coming (which thought I respect as equally valid as the other religion of peace and tolerance, Islam, because everything is morally relative), and thus Koresh was exercising his dad's vengeance proxy, no?

the difference is I shave my legs and bikini line, Ann is au natural (or so Slave told me).

But the Bible says, render unto the ATF the things that are the ATF's. Plus, I'm pretty sure that the Bible passage you have in mind only applies to tall, suave, black men.

I missed this, can I get the cite to where he actually used the words "uppity niggras and jew activists" in a modern setting?


And you still fail to respond how as to how that apology for a single action means anything in light of a subsequent documented twenty-five year history of racist speech and action. My posit is that it is a meaningless sop and that the people his people (and by association him) lynched should not be bamboozled by this.

By implication you tried to tag all Repubs as racist by virtue of southern republicans lack of support for the civil rights act (and subsequent republican presidential candidates exploitation of that position for electoral gain). I responded in like kind. Why is one criticism any more legitimate than the other?

So how come it was only Southern Republicans who wanted to duck the voice vote on the lynching apology?

They weren't doing the lynching, the Byrds of the world were. those guys have a lot to apolgize for.

Kennedy was probably thinking about Mj Kopechne, Marilyn and all of the women his nephews and/or cousin-in-laws have raped and/or murdered (allegedly) when he cast his vote. there is a lot to atone for in the democratic leadership.

You think so, huh?

If you can find me a photoshopped picture of Helms in sheets , I would stipulate to a moral relativity between the two.

How odd, then, that Senators Inouye (Hawaii), Baucus (Montana) and Obama (Illinois) (for example) were OK with a roll call vote on the apology, but your Southern Republicans didn't want to go on the record.

Touché.

eta: i said phottoshopped, that pic looks legit!

BTW, how is the Senate allowed to do anything these days, with all the so-called "filibusters" going on?

I thought the whole point of the filibuster was to halt all other Senate business?

I'm pretty sure that James Byrd was the one that was lynched only a few years ago. Neither of the Senators from his state (Texas) signed on to the apology.
