If Bush used the term, “White Nigger”, I’d assume it was another verbal blunder as he has no history of racism.

I assume Byrd used it the same way Chris Rock used nigger in Bring the Pain. (Or was it Bigger and Blacker? I have both on DVD and could check, but I’m not going to.)

If that is the case, it would be similar to the term, “White Trash”, which was used by blacks to describe poor white people who refused to do menial jobs because they thought those jobs were beneath them.

Let’s put it on the table: Yes, Mr. Byrd made an offensive and racist statement. As CSS has pointed out, Byrd’s phrasing is offensive in many ways. His use of the term “white nigger” implies that he finds it astonishing that some white people can fall so low and become so dissolute as to live like black people.

Byrd is an old fool. He gets up and yammers about Cicero. He shovels all the federal money he possibly can to his home state. In short, some of us wouldn’t cry if he decided to retire today.

Nevertheless, the people of West Virginia keep renewing his contract, so we’re stuck with him. As LBJ once said, “I’d rather have him inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in.”

Can we move on?

He used the term “ni***rs” several years ago. He admitted the word is still in hi vocabulary.”

He used the term, “white nigger,” which while offensive on many levels, is not the kind of racism you are charging him with.

I hope those broken fingers heal soon so you can do your own Googling!

O-Dub has taught you well. But you should leave off the “Maybe not you in particular”, because O-Dub has determined that if you’re a conservative you ARE racist, regardless of what you say or do, just by virtue of being a conservative.

Better tell the CWA and Bill O’Reilly!

That link was from 2002. Is he still the spokesperson for CWA?

And it would have been nice if Americablog’s statement that Bennett claims to “speak on behalf of Concerned Women for America in Washington, DC” per his website was, you know, actually supported by something on the web site. I couldn’t find it.

He used the term “ni***rs” several years ago. He admitted the word is still in hi vocabulary.

What is that, the 8th time you’ve flogged that horse today?

Pull the other one, already.

Now, you conservatives, you ARE racists. Maybe not you in particular, but your buddies like Bennett, Rush “get that bone out of your nose” Limbaugh, your buddies at VDare, Charles Johnson, Tom Tancredo, Pricess Cupcake Malkin, the Freepers, etc. You hate blacks and hispanics RIGHT NOW. Byrd, THEN. You, NOW.

Get it? Now let us never speak of it again.

1.) He frequently speaks on behalf of CWA, as opposed to is interviewed by Anderson Cooper. There is a difference.

2.) Robert Byrd was a member of the KKK and a racist, 60 years ago. He has long since dropped out of the organization and apologized for views he knows were wrong. People can change and you should be willing to let them.

Better tell the CWA and Bill O’Reilly!

This statement is based entirely on a post by John Aravosis on Americablog which says:

Religious right leader Stephen Bennett, who, according to his own Web site, “speaks on behalf of Concerned Women for America in Washington, DC”

And of course, the title of the post refers to Bennett as a “Concerned Women for America spokesman”

But when you go to Bennett’s website, this is actually what you see:

Stephen Bennett appears frequently on numerous secular and Christian television and radio broadcasts nationwide including: CBS Television, Fox News Channel, Fox News Live, The O’Reilly Factor, CNN’s 360owith Anderson Cooper, The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, Paula Zahn, Showbiz Tonight, CNN’s Headline News, The Today Show with Matt Lauer & Katie Couric, Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer, World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, The 700 Club, PAX Television Network’s “Faith Under Fire” with Lee Strobel, Billy Graham’s Decision Today, Concerned Women for America, TBN, CBN, Sean Hannity, Geraldo Rivera at Large and Mike Gallagher.

So if crazy nutjob Stephen Bennett is a “spokesman” for Concerned Women for America, I guess that makes him a spokesman for CNN’s 360 with Anderson Cooper, The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, Paula Zahn, Showbiz Tonight, CNN’s Headline News, The Today Show with Matt Lauer & Katie Couric, Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer and World News Tonight with Peter Jennings as well.

Who knew that a white supremacist was a spokesman for so much of the MSM?

Sorry O-Dub, this is yet another turd that’s already sliding down the wall.

Tell me again why blacks don’t vote Republican?

Tell me again why liberals have bad reading comprehension problems?
