I know, I know, it was a long time ago, but is not what you are intimating for the majority of whites, apply to Sheets Byrd as well? "Once a white hate mongering bigot and racist, always one?

Newt slamed the speach!
I would also say that there’s nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group.O RLY?
cue the “aw jeez” guy
The stupid speech told us what we all knew already — that many blacks have a foaming-at-mouth racism problem. What he utterly failed to address was the nauseating, disqualifying factor — Baraq is intimately associated with people who hate our country beyond your wildest dreams. That is is problem. He can NEVER get elected president of this country as an America-hater.
Hypocrisy thy name is Obamanation
Where are Newt’s comments?
Imus is white, it’s only fair HE be fired for comments../s

Nuance is such a delicate art.
Slurs against the Americans of African descent are such a horrible depiction they ought never, ever, be used in civilized conversation and dialogue. But conversely, all Americans of European descent are so inherently depraved, that nothing is too great a slur to hurl in the heat of passionate discourse, thereby rationalizing the scorn heaped upon Don Imus, while soothingly explaining away the apparently repeated intemperate outbursts by the Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Bullfrog, er, Wright.
Just about every injustice that was ever practiced upon the Americans of African descent, was fostered by the internal politics and the appeal of the liberals of this nation, both as part of an institutional principle, and from the effect of unintended consequences for good intentions gone dreadfully wrong.
The conservative viewpoint (I am speaking in terms of the Reagan movement here, not deep-seated resistance to all change) has stood by patiently waiting for the Americans of African origin to recognize the very REAL freedoms they possess, as Americans, and would welcome them into the tent in a heartbeat.
But first, they have to want to become free.
Stop Calling Obama A Liberal !!!
Start calling him what he is, “A Living Room Leftist”. Read his speeches. He is a Leftist Social Engineer regarding our schools, welfare, health care, etc. This is not a Right Wing Opinion” but his own words stating what is his agenda. Massive increases in Government controls, spending and taxes. Obama has a Leftist approach to US foreign policy. He voted against the USA’s ending one of the most evil regimes of the last part of the 20th Century. He voted to keep in place a regime that caused the death of a million Iranians, the murder of hundred of thousands of Iraq citizens including children and women, rape rooms and putting people into wood chippers.
He was on Fox News about 1.5 hrs ago. I doubt they have them printed up yet or the video posted. I have not had time to check!
Imus should demand Obama step down, yea right!
I see Newt will be on H&C tonight. Gingrich was the first person (I know of) to come out and call this Wright situation exactly what it is — America-hating leftist politics.
Nice little flag “nest” you’ve surrounded yourself with, Mr. “I don’ know nuthin’ ‘bout no racist preacher.” Guess that flag does come in handy for you after all.
Get the jam, buddy - you’re toast.
I usually don’t watch H&C but I will watch Newt tonight. This afternoon I only caught a part of what he said about the speech but he literally slammed Bambi to the mat and put a full Nelson on him!
Obama is a hypocrite.
