MSNBC Host: GOP Candidates Want to Go Back to a Time When ‘Slavery was Cool’
The Blaze ^ | 09-24-11 | Madeleine Morgenstern

The racism charges keep coming at the Republicans.

The same day actor Morgan Freeman said the Tea Party was “racist” in its attempts to get President Barack Obama out of office, an MSNBC anchor said the GOP presidential candidates would like to go back to a time when women couldn’t vote and “slavery was cool.”

Thomas Roberts’ comments came in response to former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum‘s answer during Thursday’s presidential debate about gay service members in the military. Santorum said the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell“ amounted to ”social experimentation” and, if elected, he would re-instate a similar policy.

Is there anything that the dopes a PMSLSD won't say? Almost everything they talk about anymore is outrageously inflammatory.

The only problem that liberals have with the history of chattel slavery in America is that the slaves were privately owned.

These people are ignorant beyond belief . . . . in fact, they are the racists for even trying to go there with this stupidity

Congrats, Freeman, btw. Glad to see you’re still on the plantation, dancing to the strings of left wing White America.

And the Democrats want us to go back to the time when the kings ruled by divine right. A**holes.

The Republican Party was founded to stop the spread of slavery. The Demonrats kept control of the country for years through an obscene alliance of corrupt urban socialists and Southern racists. The only black nominated by the Demonrat Party was a cross between an African illegal immigrant and a communist white woman. Republican Presidential candidates have already included American blacks like Alan Keyes, and now we have the chance to nominate a real winner like all-American Herman Cain. Let them take their racist lies and shove them.

There is no escaping such moronic pronouncements.

Even here on FreeRepublic, on more than one occasion, I have said "I miss the 1950s."

And then I have been attacked by outraged freepers crying, "Really?? You want to bring back Jim Crow?! Hey, this is a Conservative site, buddy!"

It might be funny as satire, but these freepers meant it.

Friendly reminder for MSNBC:

Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.

“Why do they call you Red, anyway?”

“Maybe it’s cause I’m Irish.”

So 2 of our candidates who are most popular with true conservatives are a woman and a black man but we want slavery and subjugation of women. They aren’t even trying anymore, just repeating a worn out meme to convince themselves.

Ok, from memory of history I think: The Republicans, led by Lincoln, freed the salves. And wasn't the KKK an organization affiliated with the Democrat Party and didn't the Democrat party mostly vote against the civil rights laws in the 60’s? Just saying or am I misinformed?

Racism is when you treat people differently because of their skin color and ancestry. I’m for ignoring race. Liberals don’t want to ignore race. They want to use race as a wedge issue to advance their own agenda.

A time when slavery was “cool”?

In parts of Africa, that time is “Today”.

God has issued a condemnation of murder, adultery, premarital sex, kidnapping, lying, idolatry, and homosexuality.

If godless liberals want to take that up with God, let them try.

It is really that simple.

Democrats were running the show back when slavery was cool. I don’t believe Republicans are wanting Democrats back in control.

Segregationist Democrat Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus was the one blocking racial integration of Little Rock Central High.

(Republican) Eisenhower, faced him down and integrated the school.

If someone said the same thing about Democrats they would be fired and the network would apologize.

civility, it’s not for dinner.
