Of course keeping in mind that what is today considered a "racial slurr" was often the "standard" terminology used in the Early 70's (and before)- prior to the PC police deciding they know better how Americans are to speak.

Nice to see the Senate race here is really being discussed on the issues.

They cannot talk the issues because they would lose.

This is the biggest, most tense and committed liberal-media complex alliance formed to get somebody out of office, that I have seen in many years.

That is absurd, You must be a very gullible guy to believe that nonsense.

Ummm, I was alive in the early 1970s. The "N" word was consisdered insulting then too. Polite then was either negro or colored. "PC" is often just an attempt at forced polite-ness after all.

Your argument may have held water in say the 1870s.

Whether that makes a man a biggot now--for what he said 30 years ago--is a totally different matter.

With all due respect, that's a crock. Standard terminology for racist morons, maybe. I was a teen in the early 70's, and knew full well that the so-called 'n' word was used by people with their heads up their a$$es.

You mean like how Senator Ted Kennedy tried to smear Chief Justice Roberts for using the word "amigo" in a memo many years ago?

Yeah, you're right... "N!&&*r was a VERY standard term directed at blacks in the 1970s. The PC police sure ruined use of a perfectly acceptable term. Democrats/Leftists/Speech Police are such killjoys.
