Romney Uses Slur In Iowa Speech

[scout]

You have got to be kidding me, he uses a derogatory term from decades ago and can't figure why it would cause a stir. He uses the term "tar baby" to describe the Big Dig. Wait, wait, wait, here's a good one, hold onto your chair, his spokesperson said the governor was describing a "sticky situation". Yea, thats the term I would have used.

“They are much, much better than they’ve ever been in my lifetime,” Byrd said. “I think we talk about race too much. I think those problems are largely behind us… I just think we talk so much about it that we help to create somewhat of an illusion. I think we try to have good will. My old mom told me, ‘Robert, you can’t go to heaven if you hate anybody.’ We practice that.” Then Byrd warned: “There are white niggers. I’ve seen a lot of white niggers in my time; I’m going to use that word.

Remember do not respond directly to the allegation, divert the attention to something that was said maybe 30 or 40 years ago... it is gonna be ok, lie when you have to we will emerge victorious in 2006. Do not forget take everything out of context and only put out part of the quote.

I am sure we could go back and find lots of good Strom Thurmond quotes for example, or Trent Lott, or any of those other nice Southern Good old Boy congressmen and Senators, but, what would that prove? NOTHING, its all in the past, who the hell cares.

A good example is how they twist facts when a lot of them say that it was the Democrats in the SOuth, not the Republicans who voted against the Equal Rights bills, etc....and they are telling the truth...

What they dont say though, is that they were the Dixie crats, the Southern Democrats who bolted the Republican Party and voted Democratic, and eventually, most of them returned to the Republican party.....

Tats just one example of how they tell part truths....

Just like you, the democratic party of toady is filled with racial and religous bigots.

Its the hypocrisy of the sore losing left making excuses for a on old time Klansman and wanting to crucify another for a simple "remark" that was far less insulting than what the "Democrat Klucker" said.

The Reason:
Romney isn't on their side.

My people are called "White Mother F-ckers" daily by people in the "Hood" and by prominent entertainers. (I say to them, "F-ck you" call us anything you want, I fart in your general direction) who gives a sh!t.

Sorry, neither of these words are used in "my house". Secondly, I have never defended Byrd for his behavior decades ago. I just find it (hilarious, amusing, outrageous, insulting [please pick one]) that in this day and age, you have a politician running for the Presidency, using language in which was insulting back in the 60's. Is there anyone in this forum (besides "liberals") who think this was a hideous comment? Can you at least admit this without saying, yeabut.

I have never heard that phrase as being considered a racial slur until today. And apparently neither has the American Heritage Dictionary.

This is just the radical left trying to make a mountain out of a molehill because the person involved is a Republican. If he was a democrat, he could be an ex-Klansman and no one would care.
