How can you fail to notice the double-standard here? Condaleeza Rice and Colin Powell have been called "house n-----" and other abhorrent names that would normally raise a hell of a ruckus from political, Jackson, etc. Oh, but I guess it's okay if you use the N word for republican black leaders. So, I guess only the evil Republican Right has to conform to the 'policial correctness standard. Disagree with their politics all you want, but let's at least hold commentators to the same standards, regardless of whether they are skewering a Republican or a Democrat.
[quote]The comment in question was delivered last week ago during a 100th birthday party for the retiring Thurmond -- a party that often resembled a roast of the South Carolina Republican, who later in his career rejected segregation and supported civil rights.
Lott noted that in Thurmond's 1948 presidential campaign, whose centerpiece was opposition to integration, Mississippi was one of four states Thurmond carried.
"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," Lott said[/quote]
Quote:Here's a quote from Senior Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, of West Virginia, in March of 2001:
"My old mom told me, 'Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that," the senator recalled. "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time - I'm going to use that word."
Quote:"Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart? Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza? Or the way you wash and park the whitey's cars?" -- Song from the show of left-wing radio host Neil Rogers
Blacks and Hispanics are "too busy eating watermelons and tacos" to learn how to read and write." -- Mike Wallace, CBS News. Source: Newsmax
"You f*cking Jew b@stard." -- Hillary Clinton to political operative Paul Fray. This was revealed in "State of a Union: Inside the Complex Marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton" and has been verified by Paul Fray and three witnesses.
'Hymies.' 'Hymietown.' -- Jesse Jackson's description of New York City while on the 1984 presidential campaign trail.
"The Jews don't like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He rose Germany up from the ashes." -- Louis Farrakhan (1984) who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002
"Jews ?- that's J-E-W-S." -- Democratic state representative Bill McKinney on why his daughter Cynthia lost in 2002
I don't recall any outrage over any of those quotes from Dems. Could it possibly be because of their party affiliation? Racism is abhorrent and should be treated as such regardless party affiliation.
