My father retired from the Atlanta Police Dept. Hosea was a very bad and usually quite drunk driver!
Hosea was known for his multiple DUI’s and accidents. He always had a few drinks and enjoyed his “hooch”-as he called it. A cop asked him once why he hit a fire hydrant and Hosea said it was placed in the wrong place for his car to get through. He also received a Silver Star, multple Bronze Stars and Purple Hearts from his heroics in WW II. I always admired the man, but wished he didn’t have a problem with the booze, knowing full well the demons he was chasing.
So you are aware of his antics. Oh what the hell, yeah, it was him.
I also respect his work in the Feed the Hungry Project. I had always considered going to their big day on Thanksgiving, but was (for obvious reasons) a little hesitant. It seemed that it was a good project though. No one is ALL bad.
Born n’ raised on the west side, ma’am. Yes, VERY familar. And don’t miss him one bit!
Fox News stinks. Their radio top of the hour stuff says the same thing in the same way that ABC does. I can’t believe people think they are so great.
Fox News should be ashamed of using innuendo alone as a source for such an inflammatory story. Geraldo doesn’t know any better, his career was made on innuendo, but Huckabee ran with it too last night. Now the morning crew along with Chris Wallace is doing it.
If this does not stop, and FOX continues to spout the Lewis lie. We will stop watching FOX, and most likely drop our satalitte feed.
I see no reason to pay for something I can get on all the rainbow stations, I won't watch them either. I will just get my news from FreeRepublic.
I don't mean that I don't understand why they're for welfare or for affirmative action. That I can understand. I don't mean that I don't understand why they don't vote for conservative white Republicans. That I can understand. What drives me up the flippin' wall is why the Black church is utterly incapable of producing a single, solitary politician who isn't a raving looney on homosexuality, on abortion, on euthanasia, on evolution, on Israel . . . on every subject under the sun.
Muammar Qaddafi is a Communist dictator, but he's a fundamentalist moslem as well. No abortion or "gay rights" in Libya, and our liberals (who act as if the dark ages ended on 1/22/1973) have never uttered one word of criticism of him for it. Shoot, so far as I know Hugo Chavez, though a Communist dictator, is a fundamentalist chr*stian who doesn't allow abortions or "gay rights" in Venezuela. Yet in America one cannot be economically left wing without being socially and morally left wing as well. Has no one in this day and time ever heard of William Jennings Bryan? Of Huey P. Long?
One of these days I simply must get up the courage to ask some local Black chr*stian acquaintance just what is the flippin' matter with them on these issues.
He’s a congressional version of al sharpton.
Exactly. They have some decent personalities, but their news is absolutely wretched. I get just as mad. The Fox newscasters regurgitate Democrat talking points, using the exact same descriptive terminology and psychological prompts as the unwatchable chatty Cathy’s on CNN Headline News.
Geraldo is as stupid as any MSNBC reporter.
I have black tenants and I say what ever I feel like saying to them. Nothing Racial mind you, but just about the system they DESIRE to continue to live in.
Like Keep you legs closed for a change. Where is the DAD's of these kids.
Like "Why do you want to continue to be in slavery?"
Of course there is never an legitimate answer, they just look at me, like Buckwheat just saw a ghost.
One said to me, cause I would not fix something she broke, "Im going to report you, for discrimination"
My reply, "Go for it", over half of my rentals are black, and you were BLACK when I rented to you a year ago, RIGHT?
SHUT HER THE HELL UP.
In my humble opinion, the absolute association of traditional morality with a certain specific economic system is part of what's killing us here.
A few years ago Lewis spoke at the Duke University graduation. He was the obligatory token black that elite Southern schools have to trot out now. Everyone gave him a standing ovation when he was introduced (except me). When he finally finished there was tepid applause. I think nobody could understand a thing he said...
They rely on your fear to approach them, that is how they win.
He exemplifies a belief among some some in the civil rights movement that “justice” won’t be achieved until we have reverse Jim Crow of even reverse slavery.
