| Why is it ok for democrats to be racist? Rep Steny Hoyer [D] commented in a "comedy routine" about Michael Steele [R] this:
How is this acceptable and allowed to continue? This isn't the first time Michael Steele has been called a uncle tom, slave, ect to the republican party by liberals and democrats. How can blacks continue to support this blatent racism? | ||||

If you look at the minutemen speech at Columbia, same thing. They rushed the stage calling him a nigger and all kinds of things. The Democratic followers are getting really out of hand. Last edited by JaJae; 10-17-2006 at 03:30 PM.. | ||||

| As mentioned in another thread, Democrats aren't held to high moral standards. They are already immoral, and are expected to be so, so everyone lets it slide. Republicans and Christians on the other hand are held accountable when they screw up. | ||||

Just look what happens when they lose elections. They feel it is impossible to lose a "fair" election because they are so obviously superior than anyone they run against. People in areas that vote republican regularly are called "Walmart Republicans" or a "Nascar Republicans". Any election that is lost is considered stolen. It's an amazing thing. But it's been this way for a long while. | ||||

| Thorgrim is entitled to his opinions. Please don't attack other members. He didn't say he thinks Steele is a racist term. He said he's on the fence of whether or not he should call him one. Please direct your comments on his post and not the poster. If you want to attack his point, perhaps you should try attacking why you disagree with his position. But stop the name-calling. Next person to call him a racist will be booted from the thread. | ||||

Clearly a rich white man raised in privledge is better destined to represent black people only because he is a democrat. | ||||

| I think it's wrong, bigotry and racism should be opposed in all its forms. If he doesn't represent the "black community", there are much more constructive ways to criticize that lack of representation than calling him an "uncle tom" or "house nga" or whatever. Those type of comments do society no good and are one of the lowest forms of personal attacks. I don't like Steele because I think he's put an insane amount of misinformation out there, and misleading the public in order to confuse them on who is a member of which party, etc, does a disservice to the public, but I don't see what race has to do with it honestly. Any Democrats participating in that should be ashamed of themselves. They can win on the issues, they don't need to stoop to this level. | ||||
