Hey Dave!

Have you asked Bambi why he didn’t pardon Johnson?

[tinyowl]

Oh brother.

When/If Trump reads this dribble, he’ll pardon Johnson in a heartbeat. Don’t these lunatics know by now that when you go against the President, it just cements his feelings? Good grief. MAGA

Anybody know: How old was the woman?

[Beowulf9]

On the one hand they claim to want to end racism.

On the other when it looks as if a white man behaves without it they don’t like it.

Can you imagine if Jesus was upset that his apostles got credit for doing acts of kindness?

I think not.

what an idiot. ‘breeding’, in context, had to do with breeding crime, not spawn

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

David Zirin is an hardcore Marxist, closely associated with the “International Socialist Review” journal, of the International Socialists, a Marxist organization.

The “Nation” has been under either direct Communist Party USA control or influence since the 1930’s when CPUSA organizer Carey McWilliams took over its editorship. It has been “red” ever since with fronters like Navasky and Van Den Heuvel doing the dirty work now (David Corn used to write for them. Now he’s with YAHOO, another far-left news service).

The wrath of a leftist when blacks get educated and taken off the cotton/war plantation.

“Git back in line being angry at Trump!!!” {whip whip whip}

What would it be like to wake up every day in a country you despise?

[Iron Munro]

Democrats had their chance when they held the presidency for 16 out of the last 26 years.

Blacks expected democrats under Obama to do a lot for them but he was concentrating of supporting muslim terrorists and destroying America.

Yet dumb blacks still voted 88% democrat in 2016.

[hinckley buzzard]

The very fact that The Nation even has a sports editor is peculiar. I had no idea these bell jar left wingers even knew what sports was.

[Fedora]

Zirin is utterly ignorant of Donald Trump's history.

[a fool in paradise]

>>The thought of Trump pardoning Johnson is further “repellent” to Zirin because Johnson did nothing wrong.

Ever? Or just in the case of a supposed Mann Act violation?

He acknowledged he was a speed demon behind the wheel and had the cash to pay the bills when he’d get stopped.

He was a showboat at times and probably a target for his skin color and his wealth.

Are there people who also want Chuck Berry’s name cleared for his Mann Act prosecution?

I seem to recall a push to pardon Jim Morrison’s name for his reputed public exposure at a concert.

You cannot libel the dead, does pardoning them change their life?

[mewzilla]

The Kaepernick Whisperer He has the ear of Colin Kaepernick, Michael Bennett, and Gregg Popovich. Why do the lefty icons of professional sports turn to Dave Zirin when they want to speak out?

[CharleysPride]

God bless President Trump.

Jack Johnson was a great man and a fighter who faced racism and government prosecution.

But he was a Whore-Monger.

In our recovering-puritanical country that’s enough to get you blacklisted by “both” sides.
It takes somebody who ignores the pearl-clutching hysterics of the mob to do the right thing.

That somebody is the President.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Dave Zirin is an off-the-rails Leftist nutball.
I would not invest any time into anything he says.

Pardoning a man who is already dead seems pretty pointless though.

[NohSpinZone]

Boy these are a bunch of racists who love projecting their hatred on others, don’t they? Eff you, clowns. Your god Obummer didn’t want to bother. Go take it up with him.
