The Ugly Side of the G.O.P.

I applaud the thousands of people, many of them poor, who traveled from around the country to protest in Jena, La., last week. But what I’d really like to see is a million angry protesters marching on the headquarters of the National Republican Party in Washington.

Enough is enough. Last week the Republicans showed once again just how anti-black their party really is.

[Lorianne]

The ugly side of Bob Herbert.

Warning: Don't read if you have a heart condition.

And in other news, NPR spiked an interview George W. Bush did with Juan Williams regarding race-issues. Go figure.

[roses of sharon]

Soon, soon, all the old racists like Herbert will die.

And there will be peace.

[Mr. K]

what the heck does being republican have to do with Jena???

If this was 6 white guys beaing up a black man there would be national marches and rioting AGAINST THE 6 ATTACKERS

Here they want to defend the attackers because they ‘were charged too hard’

Once again if they were white they would be CALLING For attempted murder charges.

This guy is a bigot. But he’s the DNC’s bigot!

[italianquaker]

I guess brother bob is marching on Virginia where the blacks beat up that white kid too

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

What is this guys email?

I’d like to drop him a line...

[linn37]

Bob can stuff a sock in it.

[tina07]

and the public lynching of the Duke LaCross students was just okie-dokie with this guy, eh?

[tired1]

unfortunately, they breed.

Herbett is a notorious rascist. He should read all the facts in the case, before blaming the Repubs.

[sig226]

It should be retitled, “The Ugly Side of Self Loathing Black Liberals.” What a jackass. Dan Rather can get a job there after Cuban gets sick of him.

[LucyJo]

I’ve taken your advice not to read it, but the headline begs the question, “Does the mention of a GOP bad side indicate that a Dem actually thinks the GOP has a good side?”, or was it an oversight?

[mkjessup]

Bob Herbert will be beating his racist drum until the day he dies. The President could personally call him up, ask for his advice, praise him in public, award him something like the Freedom Medal, and Herbert would probably respond with something like “F-YOU WHITEY!”

Let me recall. Orville Faubus was a Democrat when he opposed the integration of Little Rock High. George Wallace was a Democrat when he stood in the door of the University of Alabama to block integration. The south at the time the Civil Rights Bill was passed by the GOP was solid Democrat and staunch segregation. Without the support of the GOP in congress there would not have been a Civil Rights Bill. Seems that this clown chooses to ignore these facts.

These clowns are so transparent. The NY Times has a bloody nose from the Petraeus fiasco so they trot out the race issue to deflect the criticism.

[Rome2000]

Bob Herbert, New York Times, Dinosaurs.

[dhs12345]

Is New York Times still in business?

Thought they’d be out of business because of all of the cut rate advertising they are offering.

Besides, it is a proven fact that the NYT hate Republicans.

[Saltmeat]

It goes far beyond procreation. They also vote.

[maine-iac7]

What an

[BKerr]

That is the dumbest pack of lies I have ever read! The problem is that the dumber sheople he’s targeting will buy it hook-line-and sinker.
