Larry Elder is an ass.

[EveningStar]

I like him a lot. He's highly underrated.

Why so harsh toward Larry Elder? I agree with Elder and thought exactly that when I saw a couple of brief clips from the speech the other day - Pres. Bush conceded far too much to these racist charlatan hucksters such as Julian Bond, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson. Pres. Bush should never have placed such blame on the Republican Party - he should have been polite but firm in asserting that the Republicans have a difference and BETTER vision for America that raises prospects for everyone who will make a bit of an effort. Sure, be cordial to any audience, but don't accept the premises of NAACP leaders that THEY have the moral high ground (they did 40 years ago, but not now, not after 40 years of pandering to many of the worst idiots and bad ideas in American life).

Larry Elder - great stuff:


Bush could have grabbed the NAACP -- and indeed, the country -- by its lapels, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, good news. While racism can never be purged from the hearts of all people, it no longer represents a force potent enough to hold back anyone in America who works hard, invests in education and avoids making poor moral choices. Because of the hard work of your organization and countless men and women of all races, America has come a long way. Despite America's flaws, we can now say that we have the fairest, most free, more upwardly mobile and more open society in all of human history. We have black CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. Black people occupy positions in government at the very highest levels. The black middle class grows and thrives. It is an insult to hard-working black men and women to suggest that, but for race-based preferences, they never would have made it.

"The real problem facing this country is a growing sense of entitlement -- of you owe me, blaming slights of the past on those living in the present. Well, all a state can be, is just in its (SET ITAL) own (END ITAL) time. As Bill Cosby once said, America has done its part. Now we must do our part."

Now that would show he "cares."

You're wrong.

It wasn't pandering, the reason he went was so the next group of Republicans don't have to start their Administrations off with the cloud of a previous administration having snubbed the NAACP.

That being said, we all know the NAACP is a racist organization that is race obsessed. They need to thinking of themselves as Americans and not a color to begin the rest of their journey toward the American dream.

Larry Elder is an ass? Why? Because he dares criticize the Supreme Being In Chief Who Can Do No Wrong? Is he on your list of traitors now? Read what he wishes the President would have said, and compare that to what the President actually said.

Now here's the hard part: Decide which one of the two speeches you would have read in front of the crowd. Be honest. Which one is closer to the truth of the situation? My guess, for what it's worth, is that you would pander to the crowd like Bush did, because you are a Republican't first.

Brilliant comment, by the way. Why don't you enlighten us as to why Elder is the east end of a westbound horse? Or is "he's an ass" sufficient enough for the rubes on this board. Why didn't you call his show, instead of posting something on a forum written by someone you think is an ass? The funny thing is that now I, and many others know what this "ass" wrote, and I wouldn't have unless you posted it. And I agree with him! I'm sure most who read the article agree with Elder, too!

This post is one of the most pathetic of all posts I have seen from a supposed FR veteran who should know better. If Larry is an ass, you are a "hole" 'nuther body part.
