Robert C. Byrd, the West Virginia Democrat, no longer is the U.S. Senate's president pro tempore. And that means he's no longer fourth in the line of presidential succession. Neither is Mr. Byrd, 85, any longer the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, the nation's porkmeister in chief, if you will. He lost those positions

Behind every Senate appeasement, you'll find Trent Lott. I wonder if Byrd will still be alive by the time his replicated office is ready.

!!(@*)&#(@*$ Lott #&^&##*$_*#%!!!! ping - Kev, just LMK when we're gonna chain ourselves to this piece of taxpayer ripoff.
Everywhere he goes, there should be someone holding a sign that says, "White Nigger." Everytime. So that it is an automatic association. See Byrd, think "White Nigger."
And how to deal with all the other scum? Simple also.
For example, someone on another thread was asking for ideas of what to put on signs freeping Scott Ridder. The answer: "Is Scott the White Nigger Byrd was talking about?" Because everyone will be asking themselves, "Is he?" and because there will be a constant reminder of who exactly Byrd is and what he stands for.
I apologize for using such language, because it is so offensive, so degrading, so hard on the ears. Hard to believe that it was spoken so flippantly on the floor of the United States Senate.
Now, a question. Again, I apologize for the language, but since Byrd was given a free pass to use it in front of America, perhaps it is more offensive to me than it is to most. Anyway, the question:
Apparently it is okay to say "White Nigger." Based on results this is true, but we all know that it is not okay to say the N word by itself. See, I can say "White Nigger" because a respected member of the United States Congress can say it without any redress. And this is the United States where members of the Senate and common citizens are equal. It is, apparently, the defining adjective which makes the difference.
Which begs the question: What other adjectives make the N word acceptable.
How about Yellow Nigger? Pink Nigger? Green Nigger? Or is it just that everything is fair game as long as "White" is being denigrated. I feel fairly certain that the adjective Black would be frowned upon, but who knows? Perhaps a senior democrat could even get away with that one.
Which begs the question: If using an adjective with the N word that makes it absolutely, perfectly clear that one is not alluding to an African-American/Black/Negro somehow makes it okay to use in common speech(and it must be okay because a senior democrat did so with no outrage from either his fellow democrats nor the unbiased media) then is it also acceptable to use the N word if it is qualified by other adjectives?
Like short. As in the sentence, "He is a high ranked democrat, but he is also a short, white nigger." Surely, if it is okay to say "White Nigger", adding short to that can only be an improvement.
Or how about, well, I think the point is made and you can supply other adjectives which would make the N word acceptable. Just pretend you are a democrat and have at it.
If you find this post offensive, it begs a question: Is Byrd going to be allowed to get away with it? The answer: Not if every time he is seen by the public a sign is held or posted, reading, (or someone just yells out), "White Nigger."
Such a course, in time, would show him for just what he is.
