How many large tea party rallies have you attended, Jackoff?
I've walked by two of them in DC and noticed plenty of signs,

artwork and phrases on them. Tea party types remind me of a time in
U.S. history when we were plagued by the "know nothings."


Many on the left (including some here) conclude that if one does not
fully endorse Obama and his agenda, one is a racist. Simple as that.

Complete BS. Please show us an example of this. You can't. You're
just
lying.




I don't have to try hard. Let me see. Let's start with the signature
favored lately by one of this newsgroup's frequent liberal posters:

"The Republican Party is racist, and so is its base, which forms the
bulk
of the tea party."






At the last GOP national convention. what percentage of the delegates
and alternates were blacks or latinos?


No clue. I suppose if I were really inclined to notice such things, I
might be a racist and your accusation might have merit. Could have been
10 percent. Could have been 60 percent.
I really didn't notice or record the stats.

Do you really pay attention to such matters? Are you a racist?




Do you seriously believe it was as high as 10 percent?



I said, "No clue". I meant it. I don't record that kind of info in my
mind.
Does that mean I am a racist, a moron or both?


I believe you that you don't have a clue.

It means that you don't think much and have no interest in doing so.

Neither... you're normal. It seems that the people that pay the most

They're morons. ;-)

Perhaps I should not have used the word opinion. The defense lawyer
would simply present facts.
The woman did admit she was once a racist. The words on the video were
hers. The part that was opinion was whether she was actually reformed.
She gave an example of something that supported that claim later in
the tape. The open question is whether you could find someone who had
evidence that she did other things that refuted that reformation.
As Carville said during the Clinton debacle, "Drag a hundred-dollar
bill through a trailer park, you never know what you'll find". If they
turn up a few disgruntled USDA employees who have bad things to say
about Sherrod this whole thing could blow up in her face.

We still have not established that simply pulling actual excerpts out
of a longer recording and representing it as the truth can be called
slander/libel. If so, virtually every news outlet is guilty. They all
edit their raw tape to get the clips that support the agenda they are
presenting with their story. In a lot of cases they make the people on
the tape look like deadbeats or criminals even when there is no
evidence to support it.

I think, when push comes to shove, the other networks would circle the
wagons. The would condemn what Breitbart said but they would defend
his right to say it.

"Sue the *******" is not the answer to everything, no matter what the
ambulance chasing bottom feeders try to tell us on TV. The part they
leave out is your whole life can be laid bare in that court room.


Well, you're not an attorney, so your "opinion" and/or your representation
of the facts needs to be taken with a big grain of salt.

The defense attorney is supposed to supply a rebuttal of the "facts"
actually, not necessarily facts of his own. Maybe. That depends on what's
out there. Her reformation wasn't on the clip I believe, so not
particularly
relevant in and of themselves. They would show that what was on the clip
was
taken out of context, deliberately, etc.


I suppose you should watch the tape before you talk about as much as
you have. That was the whole point of her address, that she originally
screwed this farmer and that she got a conscience and eventually saved
his farm


She never "screwed" this farmer. She thought about the racial issues and
made the right choice. I suppose you should watch it more carefully.



Perhaps you haven't "established" this or that. It really doesn't matter,
since you're not a party to the case. I even dispute that she admitted she
was a racist. She admitted that she had to struggle against that.

So, twist all you want, you're not an attorney and your opinion about her
being a racist isn't really isn't germane to whether or not Brietbard
defamed her.


The fact still remains that he posted her words. I will grant that he
didn't post all of the speech but when was the last time you actually
saw Olbermann show all of a Sarah Palin (or pick anyone else he wants
to ridicule) speech? They cherry pick out the snippet that puts the
person in the worst light and then go off on it for 5 minutes.
That is why the media will flock to Breitbart's defense as a 1st
amendment issue, just like they did for Flynt.

The bet still stands. I have $10 that says this just goes away. I will
even give you odds, you put up a buck against my 10.
If it does go to court I will give you double or nothing she loses.


Whatever. You're just wishing it would go away. I think that's the real
story. That's a pretty sad commentary on how you view the world I think.

I'll take that bet if you wish to extend it. My buck against your 10. I
win if Breitfart settles in any way that favors the woman he slandered,
or if it goes to court.


OK but define "in any way that favors the woman he slandered".
They may get some half assed apology and if you agree that makes them
even the $10 is yours. (or I will make a $10 contribution to the DNC
if that would be better for you) ;-)



If it is an apology and no bucks are exchanged, it has to be an apology
in which Breitbart admits he was guilty of more than just presenting an
"edited" tape that came over his transom.

I think the whole thing was overblown, mostly by the gang who can't

administration fire someone over an unverified story on FOX???
This was a racist post on a blog that should have never got past the
racists who read it. The scandal is not the blog, it is the fact that
anyone took it seriously without doing the most minimal investigation.
I can understand the people at Fox, they are biased to say the least
and they are known to go on air with a half truth, (to the point that
you all call it FAUX news) but how did this get as far as it did on
the other news outlets and particularly in the White House?
Yes I think it should go away because if you start assessing blame,
there are plenty of people who should be blamed and that goes far
beyond Breitbart.


Yeah, it's all FOX.. Damn them for actually letting both sides have a
say! Damn, what a bunch of racists there. I want to watch Olbermann with
4 Dem operatives discussing Bush and giving the "R" opinion for everyone
too;)

In real life I expect nothing out of Breitbart but contempt for

What would be interesting would be for you to hold MSNBC, and the Obama
administration to those same standards.. Bill O apologized and put the
record straight the very next time he was on the air... Prime time,

Olbermann is just the Anti-Fox/Limbaugh. Just as biased.
I sometimes wonder if Bill O, Olbermann, Limbaugh and Maddow don't
play golf together every Sunday and discuss what they will be talking
about next week.
It is all a roadrunner cartoon in my opinion. They take turns painting
the tunnel on the rock and watching the other one smack into it.


Well, you may be on to something... But really, every time I watch
Oberman, all he talks about all night long is Bill O... Bill doesn't
spend as much time on him but to mention him in "pinheads" once in a
while... Keith is almost smitten with Bill...

All night long is a stretch but I have never seen an Olbermann show
where Bill O was not brought up, usually on the worst person segment.




Bill-o frequently is "cited" as a worst person, but that only lasts a

Bingo! The Tea Party is not a racist org.

How many large tea party rallies have you attended, Jackoff?
I've walked by two of them in DC and noticed plenty of signs,
tee-shirts, and what-not of the attendees with blatantly racist
artwork and phrases on them. Tea party types remind me of a time in
U.S. history when we were plagued by the "know nothings."


Many on the left (including some here) conclude that if one does not
fully endorse Obama and his agenda, one is a racist. Simple as that.

Complete BS. Please show us an example of this. You can't. You're
just
lying.




I don't have to try hard. Let me see. Let's start with the signature
favored lately by one of this newsgroup's frequent liberal posters:

"The Republican Party is racist, and so is its base, which forms the
bulk
of the tea party."






At the last GOP national convention. what percentage of the delegates
and alternates were blacks or latinos?


No clue. I suppose if I were really inclined to notice such things, I
might be a racist and your accusation might have merit. Could have been
10 percent. Could have been 60 percent.
I really didn't notice or record the stats.

Do you really pay attention to such matters? Are you a racist?





When one of the two major political parties fields candidates for
national office, I think it important to consider who that party and
its candidates represent. Oh, and it was 1.5 per cent.

From CNN:

"After seating a record number of African American delegates in 2004,
next week's Republican National Convention in Minneapolis/St. Paul
will have the lowest black representation in 40 years, according to a
convention guide that will be distributed next week to delegates at
the Republican National Convention by the Joint Center for Political
and Economic Studies (Joint Center).

"Blacks and the 2008 Republican Convention, released today by the
nonpartisan research institution that focuses on minority issues,
notes that African Americans will comprise only 1.5 percent of the
total number of GOP delegates, substantially below the record setting
6.7 percent in 2004.

"The 36 black delegates in 2008 represent a 78.4 percent decline from
the 167 black delegates at the 2004 GOP convention."

The GOP represents white Americans. I have no interest in voting for
candidates of a party that represents only white Americans.



Watch for the "change"!

Well, you boys have a nice break. I'm outta here for an adventure
for a
week and a half!

May your big jib always draw..... and the wind be at your back.
Have fun sailing and don't agree to any purchases until you have a
chance to
return home & sleep on it.


Come on Don. If anyone really thought about it, nobody would buy a
boat ;-)

You just get caught up in the moment and come home with one.
That is why they have boat shows.


I guess.
I've been on the very edge of buying a couple of boats this summer....
one, a small Boston Whaler, and the other a 17' daysailer.


Sure. More boats to store and admire from your window...

Liar.


All night long is a stretch but I have never seen an Olbermann show
where Bill O was not brought up, usually on the worst person segment.


Well, I must admit, sometimes he talks about something else...


like Hannity! I have seen segment after segment of "news opinion" based
on out of context quotes, or fairy stories the likes of Media Matters or
the Huffington Post, New York Lies.

The problem with them is they never let the opposition be represented,
their idea of fair and balanced is Olberman, Rangle and Stepenolpolis
(sp?) sitting around a table with James Caravelle "representing" what
they see as the "conservative" side of the debate ;)
