If the man is so offended by things associated with slavery, he should be against the Democratic party being allowed in the Senate, rather then be a member of the previously pro-slavery party.
I am wondering how Sen. Spencer Coggs (D), feels about the
The ICE-T Cop Killer song? http://it.uwp.edu/gangsters/ice-t.cop.killer.html
Well, slavery is often associated with slavery, so he needs to shut up and stop bringing it up.
"eenie meenie minnie moe - catch a tiger by the toe"
He would call that racist too - why? Because he is IGNORANT!
When they played it at the National Cathedral after 9/11 it gave me chills because I knew the man at the helm, BUSH, was a God fearing man, bent on justice...
A similar question: Wagner is often associated with Hitler and the Third Reich, even though Wagner lived way before the existence of the Third Reich. Do we stop listening to or performing Wagner?
In a related issue, when senator Coggs (D) was buying a bicycle for his son, was SHOCKED to see chains and padlocks being sold at the local Schwinn store. "Ass we all know," said senator Coggs, "That chains and padlocks were used by the slave trade, and I feel that it's terribly insensitive for Schwinn to sell these implements of the slave trade. I believe that the board of directors of Schwinn needs to reevaluate the way they do business."

I have been insulted and discriminated against by several of the minority folks from Milwaukee in my time. I am fed up with their panty-waisted whining! And, I'll wager, the ghosts of their departed ancestors are fed up with them too!
Another wacko who thinks it's all about slavery. Get over it!
Senator Coggs? Wasn't a L left out of the spelling? A Coggs (cogs) keeps everything moving smoothly. A Clogg (clog) does things like blocking sewer lines, etc.
I drove by there once on my way to Minneapolis.
I chose to stay the night in Portage.
Abraham Lincoln is supposed to have ordered the playing of Dixie on formal occasions, and saw nothing bad about the song or the tune. The composer was, I believe, a Northerner.
The compaliner should read the column on how blacks can improve themselves and their situation, in today's Wall Street Journal (4 Jan 2005). It is a classic.
It is unfortunate that this special day was marred by such an unnecessary event."
No, it is unfortunate that this special country is marred by such unnecessary democrat voices.
ROTFLOL!
Hilarious.
Coggs is a pol with awfully thin skin.
JMJ, I am sick of him and his ilk.
As a square dance caller I have used the music "Is it True What They Say About Dixie?" (Phil Harris did one of the great versions of this song.) and "Get Me Back to Dixie" (much less frequently) as well as "Rockabye Your Baby (with a Dixie Melody)" (Jerry Lewis in the 50s) I do a bunch of other music too.
See! That shows my ignorance. When I hear "Dixie" I don't think of slavery, I think of the Duke boys General Lee.
A friend I've known for years is named Dixie. Years ago, before I became the proper gentlemen I am today, (/sarcasm)
I used to whistle or sing that song everytime I saw her.
I truly appreciate that she took it for the joke that it was. I would have been highly embarrased if she clenched her tiny fist and popped me in the eye.
If groveling will satisfy and it is felt that no one is belittled by bowing down before another then by all means suck it up and get it done so all can get back to reality!
It is hoped then that doing the real work of the Senate and of the House will not be set aside while being suffocated with these outbursts of na na nana na, gotchas!
Only in the minds of liberals and those easily offended by anything with which they do not agree.
