Time to update the Body Count?
"Mr. Bumpers was part of a generation of moderate Southern Democrats, among them President Jimmy Carter"
These guys can't make up their minds.
I know. Moderate, my ass!
One of Bubba’s big enablers bought the farm.
But he is remembered more for what he did in the twilight of his career.
Protecting a lying, drug-addled rapist.
No comment.
The hell it wasn't!
Wrong Arkansas Liberal!
The New York Times could not report on today’s weather without throwing in some bias.
NYT needs an editor:
“Mr. Bumpers was part of a generation of moderate Southern Democrats, among them President Jimmy Carter”
should read:
“Mr. Bumpers was part of a generation of leftist Southern Democrats, among them President Jimmy Carter”
Let’s look at this one:
“he guided his native Charleston, Ark., to become the first community of the former Confederacy to integrate its public schools.”
Per ‘Great Schools’ Charleston Ark. High School is 95% White, 3% Hispanic, 1% two or more races, and 0% Black. I expect when he did his accomplishment, there weren’t that many Hispanics. http://www.greatschools.org/arkansas/charleston/268-Charleston-High-School/
If the rest of the “former Confederacy” had been 0% Black, integration would not have been a big deal anywhere.
Typical Democrat Politician.
Carter ran an infamous race-baiting campaign for Governor in 1970 against ex-Gov. Carl Sanders, accusing him of the egregious crime of shaking hands with Black sports players. Bumpers had the nerve to co-opt the agenda of GOP Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller and take credit for his racial politics. Both are/were creeps and phonies.
Hysterical. The whole Democrat operation until the 1960s/70s was keeping the jackboot planted firmly on the neck of the Negro. When Whites abandoned the party for the GOP, they changed it to attacking Republicans as being racists while still keeping the jackboot planted firmly on the neck of Blacks. Some things never change.
May he roast.
Clowns.
RIP...I guess.
And check the byline—ADAM CLYMER . . . long time Freepers will remember the catch phrase “He’s a real Clymer” (after an open mic captured an exchange between Cheney and Dubya concerning their mutual opinion of Clymer. LOL
Good catch.
Paula Jones' suit regarding workplace sexual harassment was a crime against society. The issue of whether Bill Clinton had and continued to engage in workplace affairs was of relevance. His lying and enabling wife denied it had ever happened in their lives.
When my daughter graduated from the U of Arkansas, he was a guest speaker. When he walked up the isle I was tempted to put my leg out and trip him and watch him fall on his face.
Then he gave his speech. This was not long after the Columbine shootings and he gave one of the most Down speeches I ever heard.
One of the students graduating with my daughter said, about Bumpers’ speech. “Well I guess we all should just go out and kill ourselves!”
