Other books by Joe Hadenuf:

RACE MIXING: WHY PUBLIC SWIMMING POOLS HAVE NEVER BEEN THE SAME"

Swimming pools, drinking fountians? Sorry, but I stand by my #861.

"LYNCHING: MORE THAN JUST A HANGING, A TIME TO GET TOGETHER WITH FRIENDS"

Lynching? 50 years ago? Get real. While in todays world for poor inner city blacks routinely try and avoid the nightly drive-by murders. Again, todays real reality.

"BACK OF THE BUS: WHEN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WAS GOING IN MY WAY"

Seating arrangements again? LOL! You are desperate. I stand by #861.

As a young black man I would have sat at back of any bus 50 years ago, than on todays bus, where he would be sitting on a bus full of drugged out zombies, carrying weapons with bad intent, gang members that want to blow his brains out just for initiation into a gang, and several others on board that demand his shoes or else. LOL! And you are complaining about the seating arrangements of 50 years ago?

You don't get out much do you?

Ms Intense, the *only* place I dissent from you is that the Lott is only fighting a good fight, thus far it appears, for the Lott. That is self-centered and spineless. It's the only spine he's shown and it's disgusting thus far. Again, this is based on the fact that he's blackmailing the GOP again.

Point 5 - I don't doubt it, because he did it before with regards to the Majority Leadership, an 'election' to leadership that he rigged, running it way early and taking the newcomers that must serve under/with him out of the voting process that normally happens in January.

[ApesForEvolution]

The Lott is only tough with his colleagues in smokey back rooms where no one can record him...

[ApesForEvolution]

That is beautiful. Let's dream.

[Bluntpoint]

So. Are you saying that the end of segregation caused all these maladys?

What period do you want to go back to that will fix all these problems the blacks have?

Did the right to vote cause these problems for the Blacks?

Did the right to sit anywhere on the bus they pleased cause these problems for the Blacks?

Did the right to attend any school of their choosing cause these problems for the Blacks?

Did the right to live anywhere they please cause these problems for the Blacks?

Did the right to eat in the same restuarant as you cause these problems for the Blacks?

Did the right to drink from the same water fountain cause these problems for the Blacks?



I give up. What are we missing today that was present 50 years that would fix these problems?

[Nephi]

Sorry. You're funny.

[Bluntpoint]

You are sweet. What are you doing later? Want to cat juggle?

[koax]

why hand a can of gasoline and a match to the dem media?

they'll dump it on you, and light the match.

lott is stupid.

s-t-u-p-i-d.

[trick question]

Your expression works particularly well when one uses the definition of 'moon' as an exposed ass.

[EternalVigilance]

He didn't do what is alleged.Why can't you get your facts straight?

Let's say for the moment, and for the sake of this conversation, that he didn't (I don't believe it for a minute, but let's say it anyway).

Lott's most vociferous defenders on Free Republic have been waving that threat around since Thursday night...that's a fact.

Do you approve of THEIR attempt at coercion and blackmail..or is that ok?

[EternalVigilance]

#1070 is a question for you as well.

[Bluntpoint]

Wait a minute. What Trent Lott have you guys been talking about? I was talking about that SOB Trent Lott that owns the hardware store up in town.

I think I might have been wasting you alls time.

[Godel]

The thing is, if Lott steps down as majority leader, the Democrats will still be banging the drum claiming, "if what he said was bad enough to step down as leader, he should step down as Senator as well", it's their chance to steal a Senate seat.

[Bluntpoint]

Well, when he is sitting on the garbage collection committee, such tirades can more easily be tolerated.

[EternalVigilance]

Yeah, you gotta watch what that guy sells ya, too!

;-)

[StopThePress]

He has to step down as Senate Majority Leader. If he resigns his Senate seat or blackmails the GOP as a threat then so be it. If we let Lott stick around then we're no better than the liberals. This is a huge turning point for our party and the decent is growing. I say bite the bullet and take the moral high ground on this one . . . otherwise Lott becomes a lame-duck Senate Majority Leader if there is such a thing.

To mention what could be the result of a piling on is in itself a reprehensible thing? I call that "thinking ahead".A whispering campaign, being well fed by his enemies and those of the WH,is being made to his neck, and his reputation is at stake.It was fine for Bush to kick his ass, as he is the voice of the party and its face.But when lesser creatures use it to pile on , to make mischief, Lott is very entitled to hit back.I would too.He can ask for another vote and settle the leadership question , but have it done quietly.There appear to be many who want to still stir the pot, such as yourself.Why?

You have your agenda, it's clear from your post.You can't possibly believe the story was a fake, just because...well..you know...and you expect me to engage someone as dishonest as you on good faith? You are a smear advocate, and a self righteous prig.You continue to post innuendo,hector Lott for not taking YOUR advice(sure,KeyesBoy), and then to top it off, accuse in,a snide manner, others of being hypocrites by pointing out what men fighting for their political lives would do if cornered by a mob.A mob of unreasonable jacobins.To speak that is somehow a problem?

You like being kicked around, don't you? Don't post to me anymore, as you are too stupid and life it too short.

[Mercat]

Help me out. Is the gov of Miss a dem or a Republican?

[Fred Mertz]

Has Keyes weighed in on this yet? Just curious.

[Fred Mertz]

A Dim.
