When all else fails, Repugs resort to racism

[TexasTiger 13,029]

Not racist. I thought the whole female thing (black or white) was to put emphasis on his character and the fact that he had taken money from porn producers. It was more about raunch than racism.

Now on the other hand, I'm not voting for him because he's raunchy. I'm not voting for him cause he's black. That is my right. Blacks do it every day and its called solidarity. White folks do it and its called racism. How is that racist?

Funny. When I was thinking about the kind of voter they were trying to motivate, you came to mind. Thanks for your honesty about your racism, even if you don't know what it is called.

And the porn producer money thing isn't exactly a "fact." Our local news dissects each of the candidate's ads and the claim about him accepting money from them was labeled "incorrect." Porn producers did send money to his campaign, but Ford sent it back in full.

Now on the other hand, I'm not voting for him because he's raunchy. I'm not voting for him cause he's black. That is my right. Blacks do it every day and its called solidarity. White folks do it and its called racism. How is that racist?

Are you serious? You would not vote for someone because they are black?

Whcih begs the question: Any talk (from either side) of Corker sending money back to the NRC as a way of rejecting the ad? Might even be a smart idea from his team in terms of PR.

Just curious since you're getting local news and I'm limited to the national press...

Not to my knowledge. All he did was say he thought the ad was tasteless. I have no reason not to believe he's sincere, but I could see why some people see it as a good cop/bad cop routine. The RNC runs the ad, Corker's name isn't attached to it, he denounces it to look above the fray and they just keep running it.

You totally missed the point of the statement. Once again we as a society will act all high and mighty if a white guy makes that statement, but then accept it if it comes from the black community. Racism ONLY applies to anything percieved negative against a black guy? Same ad could be the other way around with a black woman and NOBODY would claim $hit.

Therefore I deem this NOT RACIST.

And thank you TT. I am glad you thought of me. Now just stay in Texas and we will get along just fine.

I guess you're right. I don't get what you're saying. I mean, I get the part where you don't see the ad in question as racist. I don't really see it either. I was just asking about the part where you said "I'm not voting for him because he's black. That's my right." Maybe you just didn't phrase it well or maybe I'm an idiot.

I think you understood him perfectly. He's a proud racist but thinks it's not racist to be a racist. Clear as mud.

[AUChizad 0]

Ok, first of all there is absolutely nothing racist about this ad. It kills me that people can claim with a straight face that there is anything racist about it. To me, this is a worshat test. You see what you want to see. The only racists involved in this debate are those that can claim that they saw anything racial whatsoever here. The intent of the ad was, however, to slander his character as a shady person for hanging out at Playboy parties. I roll my eyes at any slanderous attack ads, but this is nothing worse than 99% of the political ads I've seen.

Now on the other hand, I'm not voting for him because he's raunchy. I'm not voting for him cause he's black. That is my right. Blacks do it every day and its called solidarity. White folks do it and its called racism. How is that racist?

I kind of understand the point your making, but I definitely think you worded it poorly. And if you seriously meant "I'm not voting for him cause he's black" literally rather than to prove your point that a double standard exists, then I can't defend that at all. Would you seriously not vote for Condeleeza Rice or Colin Powell, or any other candidate whose political views aligned with yours simply because of the color of their skin?

I was just pointing out that if I choose that route, I am racist. If the black community does it, its called solidarity. The point is that anytime the black community is mentioned in anything, its racist if they don't agree. Why is it not racist when the black community does not vote for a white guy 9 times out of 10 because he's white? So what if I don't vote for a person becuase they are black? Maybe I feel like the black community and feel that a black guy cannot represent my white ass as well as a white guy? According to today's society, I am wrong for it and they are applauded for it?

And TT, you can kiss my white racist

I would love to know the name of any black person who announced they would not be voting for someone solely based on the candidate being white.

I'm pretty sure THIS GUY wouldn't vote for a white person. The article is from the NYT. I figured you libs wouldn't dispute its accuracy.

Tex, I havent said a word till now. The Republicans in Alabama dont get the sheet wearing vote at all. Afterall, Mr Lincoln freed the slaves. Those folks are called Yellow Dogs and they vote Democratic. I did a website for a Dem just recently. he said the Dems get around 40% of the Alabama vote and half, 20%, was Yellow Dog. They vote that way based on losing the Civil War and blacks being freed. Idiots!

The older Yellow Dogs I knew growing up talked about Hoover and FDR as the reason for their commitment to the Democratic party. Most racist Democrats switched to the Republican party during the realignment of the "Solid South", a al Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond. Truman said when he signed Civil Rights legislation that he had lost the South for a generation. It has actually been longer than that. I'll bet if CCTAU were honest, he'd tell us his Granddad was a Democrat. I bet your's was, too.

Al, I can tell you for real that the sheet wearing folks do not like us. The Republicans were the ones signing up blacks to vote back in the 60's. Ask Condoleeza Rice why she is a Republican. We and the Democratic minority carried the Voting Rights Act etc OVER the rest of the Democratic Party. Al Gore's Dad was a ring leader against the VRA. Do you honestly think his supporters now vote Republican?

Bull Connor was a die hard Yellow dog Democrat and the "state, local, and county" Democrats still rely on their support. Sorry guys, the conventional Wisdom does not wash here. The Republicans are still hated in the South for freeing the slaves. They are hated for voting with Kennedy and LBJ etc.

Of course I grew up with democratic roots. Most in the south did. I did not leave the democratic party, it left me. As we grew more intelligent, we saw that things change. As we strived to become more successful, we saw which party wanted to hold us back. Many others did too. Today's republicans are different from yesterday's democrats due to the fact that many overcame the group voting mentallity that they were led to believe would save them. As society grew, the demoncratic party turned to the dark side.

Of course I grew up with democratic roots. Most in the south did. I did not leave the democratic party, it left me. As we grew more intelligent, we saw that things change. As we strived to become more successful, we saw which party wanted to hold us back. Many others did too. Today's republicans are different from yesterday's democrats due to the fact that many overcame the group voting mentallity that they were led to believe would save them. As society grew, the demoncratic party turned to the dark side.

You think you have overcome a group voting mentality? Do you ever read your posts?

And the pot said to the kettle, "Damn you need to read and think about what you just said!"

I never vote with a group becaus the group votes that way, I vote how I want, if it happens to be with a group (as many a percentage of votes are) then so be it. But I at least have a dissenting opinion every now and then. You, on the other hand, are hopelessly lost in your 55 gallon drum of hatred for all that is Bush.
