You can say what you want about the GOP–at least what they stand for is out in the open.

Much Black poverty, for example, has resulted from “Great Society” policies that have virtually destroyed Black two parent urban families.

There are a lot of people who have grabbed their piece of the American dream and prospered. There are also a lot of people who haven’t. If you tried to draw the line between them, I bet it would look a lot like that. Families work so much better then a nanny state.

How did they miss mentioning Byrd?

For now, most still believe it is jihadists – not their own president – who pose the real threat to their way of life.

The Europeans are no longer smug in the belief that the Islamists are incited only by the cowboy George Bush. They are weary and increasingly angry over the Danish cartoon hysteria, Dutch murders, French riots, London and Madrid bombings, foiled plots in Britain and Germany, and the most recent threats to the pope. Terrorist communiques allege anger over Iraq – but also Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechnya, Gaza, Kashmir, Kosovo, Lebanon, the Philippines, the West Bank, and on and on.

And…this was before Ahmadinejad and Chavez came to town:

In the past, leftist shrillness – whether it was Michael Moore calling Iraqi terrorists “Minutemen” or Cindy Sheehan pronouncing an American president “the world’s greatest terrorist” – hurt the Democrats, who came across as amused by the noise of these supportive public megaphones.

The reason I hate the black ad is that it’s selling the Republican party to blacks but on liberal values. It’s telling you to vote Republican because they supported affirmative action and minimum wage laws.

I like that it shatters the illusion of the Democrats being champions of black people when the history says otherwise. I’m not all that bothered by the liberalism of some of what’s noted in the ad. But I love you being to the right of me, Johnny T. We may right this ship yet, huh?

God Bless America and those who love her.

Talk about patronizing. Hey, if you people knew Lincoln’s party affiliation, you’d quit voting for the Democrats!

Maybe it’s just me…

The reason I hate the black ad is that it’s selling the Republican party to blacks but on liberal values. It’s telling you to vote Republican because they supported affirmative action and minimum wage laws. Why not just add that they’ve grown entitlements too. If we’re going to sell the Republican party based on how similar to the Democratic party it’s become, what’s the point of telling people to vote Republican? In that way I feel the ad is unhelpful, because it sells the Republican party but not actual conservatism.

Unfair and “unhelpful”

I’m mystified as to how this ad is unfair, and it’s only unhelpful because most Democrats either won’t listen to it, or won’t do the research to verify it. Instead, they will simply listen to the Democratic leaders that are sure to attack it as full of lies, and they will simply accept what they say as gospel.

Maybe the illegal aliens will vote Steele!

Hey I’m Black and I LOVED THE SPOT! Why did Steele disavow it? Does anybody know?

No idea, but a thought. They place this ad, Steele comes out all “hey, let’s not be all uppity and righteous; that’s not helpful…”, and whitey in Maryland puts down his Blatz and pork rinds and says “you know, this Steele guy might be ok!”

Positively Rovian…

Hey I’m Black and I LOVED THE SPOT! Why did Steele disavow it? Does anybody know? The only thing that was new info for me, was King being a Republican, I didn’t know that. Does anyone know whether this is true. I see, in the refutation of the ad they say there is no evidence of it and that King was “non-partisan”. While I find it hard to believe that ANYONE calling themselves a minister of Jesus Christ could possibly support the Dems, considering all they stand for, they were considerably less vile in the sixties, sans firehose of course. LOL.

Then again they also refuted the KKK thing with some strange logic, stating the KKK itself was never a political party, when I think the argument is that it was populated by Southern Dems, so they are trying to shade this spot in the negative just a bit. If anyone knows about King’s political party please respond, thanks.

“We don’t know that the KKK was started by Democrats; we’ve never endorsed them or their actions.” Heh. Everyone knows the Klan was all Dems; that’s all there was in the south.

And in fact, the senator in the democratic party with the most seniority if a former kleagle in the Klan. Someone you may be familar with wrote about him once.

I think the ad is important for one particular reason. It puts the left on the defensive, and draws out the kinds of statements that we would never hear otherwise.

“No, King was non-partisan, he wasn’t a Republican.” Ever hear that one before?

“We don’t know that the KKK was started by Democrats; we’ve never endorsed them or their actions.” Heh. Everyone knows the Klan was all Dems; that’s all there was in the south.

With these more reasonable statements on record, the dialogue shifts into a much more neutral and favorable tenor for conservatives, instead of the usual CNN/NPR ‘conservatives are racists’ BS.

Steele’s up 1 in Maryland, by the way.

No way, dude. Not gonna happen. White people simply won’t vote for a black guy and black people won’t vote for a Republican unless they’re stupid race traitor black people.

At least that’s what Steve Gilliard told me, and he knows exactly how black people think, which us white people don’t. Also, he knows exactly how white people think, and we don’t, though I’m not too clear on how that happened.

So, bottom line: Only self-hating Uncle Tom wannabe blacks will vote for him, and how many of those can there be? Maybe he can get some Mexicans too, but I’m not sure on that. I’ll have to check with my man Gill and see if he knows how our Latin comrades think too. Or maybe O-Dub has that covered. I dunno.

/yep. it’s sarcasm.

Smart Brother: Well, they were the party of Lincoln. They stood against the tyranny of oppression by leading the call for the Civil War, and forced passage of the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves.

Conspiracy Brother: (PAUSES) All right,
name two things they’ve done… recently!
