Democrats/Liberals can't deal with it when someone dares to utter the truth. Too bad, they have to. This man has every right to speak, and conservative students should never ever back down and not have them there, simply because of those who don't want to hear the truth.

They have to hear things they don't want to, see things they don't want to, it's called the freedom of speech, and it goes both ways.

They where upset that someone called Uncle Al and Uncle Jesse poverty pimps.

I yelled back at my wife (she was in the back seat today - long story, don't ask), "I've called 'em that in columns I've written before. What's the problem?"

She just laughed.

Correct! It's just selective history. They want to hear the same old rehash served again.

Pretty well. The memory lapses have gotten fewer and much further between.

She still slows down dramatically by the end of the day, and is still having to use a cane to get around with, though she seems to be better on that note as well.

She'll probably go to the chiropractor next week. And the neurologist's appointment isn't until the end of the month or so. At least she's back at work.

Only issue now is dealing with the insurance company and the lawyers.

And no, she doesn't read FR -- I usually share the more interesting stories and responses with her.

Lol!!!! The thing I like about Michael Medved, he does not have to yell at the guest to make them look like fools. He lets them do it to themselves. They dweebs made them look like fools themselves. I guess they (the college Rats),where about to have someone who is lecturing about how to make elections in Ohio run much better.

Vernon Robinson's problem is that he THINKS he's smart...in actuality, if he were to get elected to any sort of high office, he would inevitably do something that would bring shame down on the entire Republican party.

He is a grandstander, nothing more.

Another case of a fine young AA college student telling a conservative AA politician that he should know his place and remain in it. Sounds familiar. I was around in the era of the Civil Rights Act. How did the JJ's of the world hijack everything that was accomplished by the civil rights heroes?

"Any black speaker who refers to the Confederate flag as a "harmless display" is a man who has clearly never read a history book." < /snip >

They should have invited Ward Churchill. Could have saved themselves a lot of controversy. What kinda decent black man goes around acting all conservative and acknowledges the symbols and cultures of other people. Somebody better get that dude back on the plantation!

Actually I have the greatest respect and admiration for Vernon Robinson, right up there with Booker T. Washington, Walter Williams, JC Watts, Rev. Jesse Peterson and my personal hero, HK Edgerton.

Oh my gosh, I just mentioned HK in another post before I was yours. I'd buy a ticket if HK would take this crowd on. If you've ever seen him give anyone a "what for" in his Southern gentleman manner, you know what I mean. What a jewel he is!

"I've called 'em that in columns I've written before. What's the problem?"

But did they know you were black in the column? That would lay the poor bedwetters up in the hopsital for at least a week.

And I won't ask why your wife was in the back seat....but could you FReepmail me? :-)) (just kidding)

Mind you, one of the junior high name callers ended up marrying me years later.

LOL! That counts as "getting over"!

And Lurking2Long's problem is that he is a damned bigot. Whenever there's a thread about someone who is black, you come right along and spout some unsubstantiated nonsense.

You're a poseur, nothing more.
