The Lott Gaffe & DemoKKKratic Hypocrisy

[P-Marlowe]

Ok, so what is your solution to the Lott situation. Just attack the democrats? Call them hypocrites? What will tht accomplish. Who's listening? Who pays attention when Democrats are hypocrits? Nobody.

Now what do we do with Lott? He's our boy. Do we let him slide?

I’m glad to see you finally remembered that I already address your accusations. Let me make this simple: this is all about politics, of course I’m going to highlight selective moral outrage on the part of the democrats who have consistently tried panting me and others of my political persuasion as being racist. You seem to think that democrats get a pass.

What will it accomplish you ask? Well, the democrats are now a campaign of pure demagoguery after suffering a huge midterm defeat. They manage to keep the black vote tightly locked up and this is part of the reason. Just 6 weeks ago Clinton praised a segregationist, but for some reason we find people like you saying republicans cannot talk about that. You sound like the political correct Gestapo crowd trying to censor any mentioning of Democrats.

You ask who is listening? Well, obviously this is a conservative forum and I am surely hoping plenty of freepers are listening. Hopefully if we quit setting around doing nothing as you suggest we do, then we can get our message out on say Fox News, which allows a conservative voice. Best of all, the American people who are be berated by Democrats, the Liberal Media, and so forth are listening and maybe it’d be nice if we could voice something despite your wishes that we shut up.

And for the record: I pay attention when Democrats are hypocrites. The Free Republic pays attention. Obviously you don’t and you have no desire to.

What do we do with Lott? Simple. We force him to step down as majority leader and make it clear as Bush DID that his comments don’t reflect what we believe and that we are indeed not racist. Although 6 weeks ago when Clinton did it….there was no call for an apology, no media firestorm, or anything else. And best of all…you didn’t care.

We're not Democrats. We have higher standards. We should only be concerned about Trent Lott and not Byrd or Jesse or Hildebeast or anyone else.

Indeed, indeed! I have not checked most of my clubs (I have like 60) in ages. I really only check 2 of them anymore.......just too busy with college to deal with too many of them.

I think Lott should just blatently fess up and say he 'is' predjudiced against the black progressive leftist communistic caucus in which the Clinton's have made of the VERY HARD LEFT, democratic party.

This way they have to shut up and then the leftist communists in the media and politics and Hollywood can scream how right winger he is. He is guilty of being an extremist right winger not a racist.

the horror the horror of it;;;;;;;;anyways

racist means nothing!

[TLBSHOW]

The words “racist,” “bigot,” and “hatemonger,” coming from embittered followers of demagogues, mean nothing.

Good article. Good add-on. In addition:
Let's continue.... Senator Hollings (D-SC), then governor, modified the state flag to include the confederate flag. Papa Bush is loved to be trashed as well. What about Al Gore, Sr. who voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act? (the apple probably didn't fall far from the tree)
Where's Jesse, Al or Katie Couric?
