I sort of agree regarding Frederick Douglas

I absolutely agree regarding Booker T.

I sort of disagree regarding Medgar Evers.

Apologizing, backpedaling, and kowtowing to the racist, communist, homosexualist democRATs will avail you nothing, only cost you your dignity.

I hope he doubles down on them.

I'm so tired of our side expected to grovel, apologize, and withdraw nominations while their side does no such thing.

And anyways, similar comments he made have been posted here countless times by multiple FReepers so people here need to save their pearl clutching.

[Drew68]

Yeah Trump can find someone better. Just like with the Jay Jones texts, if these texts are true we cant be hypocrites about it

Did Jay Jones withdraw from the race? Lose any endorsements?

Of course not.

[vivenne]

Well, ask Jay Jones who had private texts about murdering the VA Speaker of the house and his wife and children. He won’t step down. Just compare the two and this guy can do the same.

If this politician knows the real history of MLK,Jr. then he is spot on. The Congressional Record entry by Jesse Helms outlines MLK,Jr’s adultery, association with Communists, his hiring of prostitutes and him beating them, his plagiarism of his doctoral thesis and speeches, and his shakedown of businesses for his own pleasure. Ask yourself, the Rosenbergs’ tapes were sequestered for fifty years. Why was MLK Jr’s tapes by the FBI sequestered for over seventy five years? Even Ralph Abernathy said when MLK,Jr., was killed on the balcony of the Lorraine, they had to whisk the married woman he had in his bedroom away to preserve his legacy. Even though this nominee is a POS he at least knows the cover up and truth of MLK,Jr.

This guy cannot shut up except to pour gasoline on himself and declare he has a right to. He doed. And he will not be confirmed, easily.
