By any standards, I should be, and yet curiously enough...I am not. I sort of recognise that:
1) It was all a long time ago.
2) It doesnt affect me today
3) Mr Lynch was not representative of Americans even then, and most certainly not Americans now (apart from Freepers :) )

So therefore I condemn him but I dont bear any kind of grudge. Of course, I could GENERATE a grudge if you were to encourage me to, say by offering me preferential treatment and lots of money. It does, after all, seem to be the gravy train to jump onto...

I love this! Bring race into this campaign at every turn! The more race injected into it, the more it will hurt Obama when white voters enter the voting booth in November.

We'll just have to start referring to the word "lynch" as the L-word.

One the day he died Saddam Hussein was all up tight with the words lynch and noose.

Could it be a common trait that anyone with the middle name of Hussein doesn't like the words noose and lynch?

It was racist because only black people have ever been lynched.

You can't use that term "paddy wagon" in reference to Bill O'Reilly. That's racist.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddywagon

Paddywagon and Black Maria are slang terms for either a police car, or a police vehicle used to transport large groups of people who have been arrested.

The word paddywagon is of American origin. The precise origin of the term is uncertain and disputed, though its use dates back to at least the beginning of the 1900s. There are at least three theories as how the phrase originated.

The most prevalent theory is based on the term "Paddy" (a common Irish shortening of Patrick), which was used (sometimes as derogatory slang) to refer to Irish people.[3] Irishmen made up a large percentage of the officers of early police forces in many American cities. Thus, this theory suggests that the concentration of Irish in the police forces led to the term "paddywagon" being used to describe the vehicles driven by police.

An alternative theory is similarly based on the term "Paddy" but states that the term arose due to the number of immigrant Irish being arrested for having consumed too much alcohol and taken away in the vehicles.

It could come sooner than that. We may see a repeat of the 1968 DNC riots if the superdelegates vote for Hillary.

If Hildabeast does well next Tuesday, that will dampen some of Hussein Obama’s claim on the nomination, but the blacks will still riot if they don’t get their way. I have a friend who has been buying assault weapons as fast as he can get his hands on them, I see why now.

Thanks for the reminder! I remember it well. Too funny. And, *ancient history* now.

There was also a skit once when Jimmy Smits was guest host and he played a new “token” Hispanic news anchor at a TV station. All the other employees started using exaggerated Spanish pronunciations for everything from Los Ang-uh-leez to on-chee-lawd-uhz, while he just spoke regular English, which shocked them.

Don’t you know she was? These promos had Borat (Barack) doing some of the voiceover, saying that, like Jackie O, when his wife walks into a room everyone stops to stare and that her fashion sense is just so extraordinary.

Those aren’t direct quotes, just my paraphrasing of what I remember overall. Also, the first day, they were using a photo of MO that cast her skin in a very dark light, so dark you couldn’t make out her features at all - the contrast with Jackie KO was unbelievable, lol.

Then, someone must have complained, because the 2nd day of promos, they had changed MO’s pic to one showing her with a much, much lighter skin tone.

It certainly didn’t change anyone’s opinion, but I found it kinda “enlightening.”

Good ammo....er....I mean info.

It only strengthens my original point.
Some people who profess to be so in touch with their roots and proud of their heritage often seem overly keen on co-opting the ugliest portions of a heritage-not-their-own, using it as ammunition against those who they perceive as enemies...simply based on the color said enemies' skin.

Pushing Marxism is so true. I don’t post much about him or read any threads about him, because I can’t stand it - so I’m probably repeating what others have said - excuse me, if so.

He’s running a commercial here in TX before our March 4th caucuses and primaries, saying “would you believe that some CEO’s make more in 10 minutes than regular workers make in a year?”

My mouth was agape the first time I heard it and now I just mute the TV when it comes on. I had never heard that all people in the US were supposed to make the same amount of money! (But hey, I want *mine*!)

This is very scary.

I had to look it up, too. I would’ve guessed “down with the North,” as said by a Southerner - but I would’ve been way wrong (and I knew Whitney Houston wouldn’t have been saying that, anyway!).

Here’s the Urban Dictionary entry:

” ... hell to the naw

It simply means “hell naw”, but it really means “no.”
It’s used to describe surprise and opposition towards a comment and/or situation. usually in a major way

WOMAN: I need a huge favor.
MAN: What.
WOMAN: Will you pay my rent and bills? I’ll give you something to make it worth your while.
MAN: HELL TO THE NAW!!!!!!!! You just gonna use me, then set me up. ...”

What will really show the truth of Obama’s intentions, would be *IF* he were to be elected POTUS (Please No!), his followers were to stand and sing the Black National Anthem instead of the Star-Spangled Banner.

It happened here in Houston when Lee Brown was inaugurated as our mayor. I posted about this once here on FR and got shouted down and told it was a beautiful hymn or something. So, to answer your last question, yes, I think it’s possible.

Star is a hypocrite. She thinks she is all that and throws fits when she is not catered to excessively.
