Bump .. the mainstream lags as does their credibility on most all issues confronting this nation unless they can stick President Bush or the Republicans with blame.

You gotta be fecesing me. Blacks are upset about a comment Dodd makes, but are (and has been) silent over Byrd's involvement in the KKK as a Grand Kleagle?
To: wjersey
Not to mention Byrd's use of the N-word on national TV

Sorry, all, I only scanned the article and posted a stupid comment.
Like Jack Nicholson said in "A Few Good Men" -"Don't I look like the f--ing a--hole."

Well now, don't you see......Senator Dodd is within the "Massa" class. The new slave keepers..He's a Democrat..
Look at the black voting record.....they confirm their love for "massa"...
Dodd will escape this....without so much as a hair out of place...
He's a Democrat -- the rules don't apply to them..
And the majority of black citizens will NEVER even hear about the insult...
Semper Fi

Dodd is more white than Trent Lott which would be hilarious to see on BET. Trent wasn't even close to being insensitive. Dodd on the other hand said everything he could to screw himself. CNN will shine the light as well as Dan Rather.

This story's got no legs unless Dodd becomes a Repub.
To: river rat
And the majority of black citizens will NEVER even hear about the insult... Didn't I hear that most black voters believe the story, that no blacks died on 9-11-01, so that they should not worry about the War on Terror, as it's a "white man's war"?
To: All
Yah, let's see if Dodd steps down from anything or continues to kneel at the alter of the Dem Party statue of the great x42....

Although the RAT cult has managed to package itself differently, today's democrat party is no different than it was when Bobbie Byrd was a grand klegal, George Wallace was having his thugs putting the dogs on black children, and Al Gore's daddy was rallying the good old boys in the Senate to vote against the civil rights act.
If the media was the least bit intellectually honest they would have pointed out that excluding race pimp Al Sharpton, the stage at the recent Jackass Unity dinner was totally devoid of color.
Gore Jr's blatant adversion to being guarded by black Secret Service men, Clinton's ghosting of his much vaunted Harlem pad, Dean's token appointments of minorities in Vermont, and Kerry's weekly no rhythm shuck-n-jives at black churches are nothing more than a sophisticated form of Jim Crow.

NAACP Calls For Senator Trent Lott To Resign From Majority Leader-Elect Post
Denounces Senator's Remarks as Hateful Bigotry
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) today called for Senator Trent Lott to resign from the majority leader-elect post citing recent bigoted remarks he made during the congressional celebration for Senator Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday. The junior senator from Mississippi said: "When Strom Thurmond ran for president we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had of followed our lead we wouldn't of had all these problems over all these years, either." Thurmond, the outgoing senator from South Carolina, ran for president in 1948 on a staunch segregationist platform.
Kweisi Mfume, NAACP President & CEO, said: "Senator Lott's statement is the kind of callous, calculated, hateful bigotry that has no place in the halls of the Congress. His remarks are dangerously divisive and certainly unbefitting a man who is to hold such a highly esteemed leadership role as the majority leader of the senate." Lott is scheduled to become the senate majority leader next month when the 108th Congress convenes.
Mfume added, "Sen. Lott should resign from the position of majority leader-elect to make way for another member of the Republican Party whose moral compass is pointed toward improving race relations and not dredging up this nation's poor, polarizing performance of the past."
Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its half-million adult and youth members throughout the United States and the world are premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.

This is all in your mind, a vast right wing imagination of the space cadet party, don't ya know. Never compare the elite with anyone or you'll be audited for the rest of your life. They're in a class all by themselves.

They must be mistaken...everyone knows that only Conservative Republicans are bigots.
