You know what I mean! She always gets that face in next to the President. She's disgusting. I wish they would send her AND Barbara Streisand somewhere far, far away. We just can't get rid of these people!

This all is right out of the communist manifesto.
My, what an unfortunate set of words and images this brings forth... no-no-no... not in the Bush White House! :-)
Wrong! Republicans should have been fighting back against the liberal establishment for the last three weeks. They should have been knocking down all the double standards and race baiting that was going on during the condemnation and assassination of Trent Lott.
What's happened to your objectivity and level headedness. Open your eyes already!
Let them start! This will soliidify the Republican base, and turn off the independent and swing voters. It only continues to show that the Dems have not ideas of their own.
And then there is Robert C. Byrd, Democratic senator from West Virginia (and George Mitchell's predecessor as Senate Majority Leader). He voted against the nomination of new Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas on October 15th on grounds (among others) that Thomas had "mounted his own defense" during his nomination hearings "by charging that the [Senate Judiciary] committee proceedings were a high-tech lynching of uppity blacks." Byrd branded it "an attempt to fire the prejudices of race hatred."
Senator Byrd has first-hand knowledge of racism. When he was running for Congress in 1952, his campaign was nearly derailed when a tough primary opponent revealed that Byrd had once belonged to the Ku Klux Klan. During a subsequent radio broadcast, Byrd acknowledged that he had been a member of the Klan from "mid-1942 to early 1943" because he was young (24) and because it "offered excitement." But he claimed: "After about a year, I became disinterested, quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization. During the nine years that have followed, I have never been interested in the Klan."
Byrd, who was praised for his "candor" and "forthrightness" regarding the issue, won the primary handily to secure the Democratic nomination. But just prior to the final election, a letter surfaced (in Byrd's own handwriting) which confirmed that his association with the Klan had been far more cordial, for a far longer time, than he had claimed. Dated April 8, 1946 (three years after his alleged break with the Klan), the letter was addressed to Klan Imperial Wizard Samuel Green of Atlanta. It stated in part: "I am a former kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties of the state .... The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia .... It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va .... I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities."
So the same Robert Byrd who railed against Clarence Thomas for raising the spectre of racism and lynching was actively promoting the Klan years after he told voters he had severed all ties with it. He was nevertheless elected, as he has been six times since.
Clearly, when it comes to the Ku Klux Klan, the Democrats now pillorying Republicans about David Duke have a full hamper of their own dirty bedsheets. Admittedly, the former memberships of other public officials in the Klan should have absolutely no bearing on the significance of Duke's recent membership. But history shows that major media exposures of "racism" can be very selective. In the media's eyes, not every Klansman is the same.

I don't know if President Bush will do something like that or not. My guess is that he will just go about his business and let the RATS overplay their hands. That has worked well in the past. However, he may say something in his State Of The Union...who knows?
sw
I'm shocked, so shocked, that race baiting is so common. Evidently the only one who didn;t know that we're at war with leftists that engage in it was that dumba$$ Lott!
Now how can he be running things being so dumb.
