"Looks like the Bill Clinton era is over," the New York Post's Deborah Orin writes.

"Democrats led by Clinton's handpicked chairman, Terry McAuliffe, decided [Wednesday] to take their 2004 national convention to Boston instead of New York

Hilarious: Edwards is trying to get "gravitas". But of course the libs in the media won't portray it like that.

Mr. Conyers, who did not identify any particular issue, went on to denounce black Republicans. "How can you be a conservative when conservatives have been giving you hell all your life, and then in earlier history, before your life?" he said. "What makes you like this?" Mr. Conyers asked of Republican blacks. "Why do you think that getting some money and a title and job is somehow going to change the fact that you are black from the moment you are born till the time you die?" He said the appointments of Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice mean nothing. "If you think having those two stand in the background of Bush putting two black people, very qualified, very admirable, very smart — so what?"

This SOB wants to play God. They are so in denial about losing support from African-Americans who happen to think a little differently about themselves. He also conveinently forgets which party was in charge and primarily responsible for Jim Crowe activity-why not seek reperations from the Democratic party? I believe many African-Americans are seeing through this veneer and appreciate the fact that a black man stands just a few steps away from the presidency, a black woman is in the highest advisory role ever, and that she may very well become the first black VP. What is everyone else missing?

I read this five times and still can't figure out what he said. Can somebody translate?? I mean, would he rather them have handouts in lieu of opportunity?

(mhking: thought you might be interested in this tidbit!)

"Why do you think that getting some money and a title and job is somehow going to change the fact that you are black from the moment you are born till the time you die?"

This guy is a complete idiot. So what is he suggesting blacks do? Not get a job or make money but sit around and whine about the fact that they are black? This guy is a moron. We will never get to a color blind society with the likes of this guy as elected officials. Talk about hateful. Maybe we should make it a hate crime when they talk like this about Republicans.

bump for later reading///

[Wphile]

I don't get it either. I guess he's just trying to say that a Republican will never respect you no matter what because you were born black. A title and a paycheck doesn't count because he's a republican. Republican = BAD. Democrat = Good. According to this moron.

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

I love how he's rewritten history - it was the Dems; the liberals whose boot of oppression rested against blacks throats in the 20th Century and before. And as for this "money, title and job," will someone tell me where it is and how much it is supposed to pay? Last I checked, I earn every dollar I make, and I have to struggle just like most other Americans with taxes, prices, credit, and everything else. That has nothing to do with being black. I was born black, I am black and I will die black. But I am also a proud American conservative.

As thick=headed as Conyers is, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he can't figure that out.

"How can you be a conservative when conservatives have been giving you hell all your life, and then in earlier history, before your life?" he said.

I don't think so, Bro. Conyers. It is your type that has been giving me hell.

"What makes you like this?" Mr. Conyers asked of Republican blacks.

You did, frat. You made me like this. And the hate that hate produced is coming home.

"Why do you think that getting some money and a title and job is somehow going to change the fact that you are black from the moment you are born till the time you die?"

If I'm not mistaken, you're making it sound like being black is loathesome. And yet I am the one accused of "self hate?" That's sad and funny at the same time.

"If you think having those two stand in the background of Bush putting two black people, very qualified, very admirable, very smart — so what?"

You're right, Bro. Conyers. So what? "So what" that you can't point to these blacks with pride. Others can and do, and not just black people. But don't you know that they both embody the creed of the Bond that both you and I belong? Isn't our creed "Achievement in every field of human endeavor?" Of course it is. Yet you don't appear to like that.

Your day is coming, "brother."

No mercy.

Still waiting for the cheese shipment to show up to go with the whine.

It might take a while.
I heard it got hijacked by PETA.

[Overtaxed]

I heard it got hijacked by PETA.

Does that mean that the cheese is already with the whine?

[Constitution Day]

Hmmm, I guess you have a point!

(I think they will need EXTRA cheese, though... since they have an excess of whine)

[Overtaxed]

Hehehe...
