But you can’t even honestly compare the two. Bustamante made the mistake of using the wrong word – and apologized profusely for it.

Lott effusively and implicitly praised Thurmonds segregationist views.

No, there is no hypocrisy there if one chooses to be intellectually honest.

Geez…

The mere fact that you would then try to turn that into evidence that the democratic party is racist
No, not that they are racist, but that they are hypocrites. Senator Lott was run out of his leadership position because he said “”I want to say this about my state: When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years, either.”
HE DID NOT mention race! Yet a Democrat politician can say NIGGER and gets a pass… no, no hypocrasy there…

Senator Byrd has long denounced what he did as a youth and has since worked to further the cause of civil rights.., er, 42 isn t considered youthfull very often&

Let’s ask Henry Hyde, shall we?

[At a February 9, 2001 speech to the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, California's Democratic Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante said "nigger" when, he apologetically explained, he wanted to say "Negro" in the title of a black labor organization.]

The mere fact that you would then try to turn that into evidence that the democratic party is racist – is ridiculous to say the least. And while I’m at it… please – the operant word in your silly comment re: WMDs is “had” – yes he used them on Iranians, Kurds and Iraqis… but when was the last time any of that happened? Part of the selling of the war was the presence and imminent danger of the use of WMDs. Please don’t insult anyone’s intelligence by trying to play semantic games. Geez.

As for Dugger, Fariss, et al. – can you possibly explain what Wellstone’s funeral or abortion have to do with the topic at hand.

And lest I forget – Ian: “but don t claim to be the party of life if you are okay with the death of innocent life.”

That’s the silliest thing I’ve read all day – what, babies must be preserved at all costs, but innocent men, women and children are fine as cannon fodder?

How dare those uppity negroes try to talk about what that woman stood for! Don’t they know their place?

The rest of the arguments (Wellstone, abortion, Iraq, etc.) is just so much white noise (pun very much intended) to hide the racism. I mean, it would be eay to sit here and pick apart the specious arguments and logical fallacies they present, but to what end? It’d be like talking into an empty phone.

But thanks anyway for identifying yourselves.

I’d like somebody to mention that day, that Martin Luther King, Jr., tried to give his life serving others. I’d like for somebody to say that day, that Martin Luther King, Jr., tried to love somebody. I want you to say that day, that I tried to be right on the war question. I want you to be able to say that day, that I did try, in my life, to clothe those who were naked. I want you to say, on that day, that I did try, in my life, to visit those who were in prison. I want you to say that I tried to love and serve humanity.

Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice; say that I was a drum major for peace; I was a drum major for righteousness.

I mean, it would be easy to sit here and pick apart the specious arguments and logical fallacies they present, but to what end?

Oliver’s quote was:

Nothing is more sacred to progressives than preserving human lives.

I was merely pointing out that there IS something more sacred (according to Progressives): the right of a mother to “choose” to quash a human life.

[quote]We know now there were no weapons of mass destruction over there[/quote] first of all, Quaker, that is a FALSE statement, We KNOW Saddam had WMD, because he used them, on Iranians, and, btw, on IRAQIS!
What we don t know, yet, is where he hid them

Sorry, Oliver, but this is quite a bit stupider than Ian, and almost as bad as drpecker. Even Bush has admited ‘no can do’ on the WMD, spastic.
You really ought to ask for a raise, pajamabloggers can’t pay you enough to make this much of a fool of yourself.
Hey, how’s the worlds stupidist dr doing today? Sure Glad the Kings elected yall as their spokesman, I’m sure!

What we don t know, yet, is where he hid them.

Musta hid them really, really well. We’ve had the run of the place for nearly three years and haven’t turned them up yet.

However, we do know that they’re not under the sofa cushions in the oval office.

Taking care of sick people. Feeding the poor. Calling for peace.(whining, lying and pandering) A Liberal Trifecta!

Not a member of the religious right, I see.

It is a sign of the weakness of the left that they use the remembrance of an american whose family literally changed the face of our country to spew their hate-ridden missives.

Hate-filled?

You call this “hate-filled”?

We know now there were no weapons of mass destruction over there. [Standing Ovation] But Coretta knew and we know that there are weapons of misdirection right down here. Millions without health insurance. Poverty abounds. For war billions more but no more for the poor.

Taking care of sick people. Feeding the poor. Calling for peace.

“Hate-filled”?

He will take any chance to make a jab at anyone, when he has no room to make a jab at anyone — no seriously, he doesn’t have any room, much less any room for him.

If you think “working” at a “job” that is funded by an anti-American billionaire makes you informed, then again you have no room. Attack the argument, not the person.

When you say I don’t read other opinion to make up mine, you’re right, I read this blog.
