Elected individuals?

I don’t know how any semi intelligent American could vote Democratic after watching this convention. Granted, I have been a Republican my entire life so I am biased. But...... My wife has just recently made the switch after watching this election. She has finally gotten over the college liberalism that plagues many of our naive young people. Just seeing these idiots and nut-cases spew and gaffe on live t.v. is certainly not helping them get votes.

DOWNTOWN DENVER - A group of about two dozen people -- anarchists of earlier protests -- marched on the 16th Street Mall on Monday afternoon. They were Hillary Clinton supporters. The group referred to itself as the "PUMA Pack," the acronym standing for "Party Unity My (expletive)."

Sheri Tagliaferri, a member of the group, said that they were opposed to a skewed process for selecting a Democratic nominee.

I think the FOX news anchors are holding back a lot, and biting their tongues. You can tell from their facial expressions and innuendoes that they think a majority of the DNC convention is filled with idiots.

What is an “uncle tom”?

Looks like I'll be mercifully away from my TV when The Swimmer's "tribute" runs. If anyone wants to pick up my fumble from post #115 and run A Tribute to Mary Jo Kopechne when the Swimmer is on, that would be more than fitting. See #115 for the idea.

This is a definition I borrowed ( read “lifted”) from Wikipedia:

Uncle Tom is a pejorative for a black person who is perceived by others as behaving in a subservient manner to White American authority figures, or as seeking ingratiation with them by way of unnecessary accommodation. The term ‘Uncle Tom’ comes from the title character of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’, although there is debate over whether the character himself is deserving of the pejorative attributed to him.[1]

It is commonly used to describe black people whose political views or allegiances are considered by their critics as detrimental to blacks as a group.

"Like many of you last month, I watched that giant masquerade ball at Madison Square Garden -- where 20,000 radicals and liberals came dressed up as moderates and centrists -- in the greatest single exhibition of cross-dressing in American political history."

-- Pat Buchanan, August 17, 1992

"Is everyone watching Fox?"

I am. I'm listening to Mark Levin, and have Fox News on mute with captions scrolling.

[defconw]

Not sure, Fox is on their regular programs, from the convention.
