A conservative's justification for reading Slate

If Christopher Hitchens is a liberal, so is David Horowitz. And Sonia Gandhi is Italian.

I have heard many Reps criticize and disavow what Hastert said. Hastert made a stupid comment and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up publicly apologizing to McCain for that comment.

Bill Cosby: Blacks can't speak English

This is being underreported by the liberal media.

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/articl...TICLE_ID=38565

NAACP leaders stunned by remarks of prominent comedian
  • Cosby said, according to Leiby: "Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids – $500 sneakers for what? And won't spend $200 for 'Hooked on Phonics.'

    He added: "They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is' ... And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk. ... Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. ... You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth!"

    The Post said Cosby also targeted imprisoned blacks.

    "These are not political criminals," he said. "These are people going around stealing Coca-Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake and then we run out and we are outraged, [saying] 'The cops shouldn't have shot him.' What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand?"

You picked the wrong battleground, son. Did you miss the first half of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"? The future Mrs. Claus was fucking hot. Hotter than Heat Miser! Yowsa!



She wound up with her own bad parody song, too.

Who, bilmore, who?

Not sure what this means, though. She could have been the next PM.

Hitchens is an independent. Horowitz is a former lib turned conservative.

Interesting remarks. Imagine how quickly a speaker other than bill cosby would have become a business and social pariah had he made similar comments.

Plus he'll be raking it in from the Pound Cake Manufacturers Association.

Unclear to me what the liberal media should be saying about this, though. It certainly proves that they're liberal, though.

Hitchens is a principled person who is also a liberal. This means his positions are determined by his principles, not his partisan affiliation. You could learn a thing or two from him.

Well, if he had said Jello Pudding Pop, it just wouldn't have worked.

Imagine if a white person had said it. The screams of "Racist!" would be deafening. Even more so if it were a white Rep.

You are being a troll and a moron, or you have not bothered to read anything Hitchens has written since he left The Nation, so I will let you argue this out with sgtclub.
