		<description>Amen Mr. Doggett.

Democrats love minorities like plantation owners loved slaves.  As long as they behave, work and know their place they just love them to death.  But when one gets &quot;uppity,&quot; then they had better watch out, they will be made an example of.</description>

		<description>Reading these transcripts, and going back in a time to the poisonous Thomas hearings, I am struck by how Doggett was like the character of Tom Robinson in &lt;em&gt;To Kill a Mockingbird.&lt;/em&gt;, except that instead of a black man being charged with raping a white woman, he was a black man charged with kissing a white woman.

Metzenbaum also reminds me of Eliot Spitzer, what with his ruthless, Machiavellian &quot;steamrolling&quot; technique. 

What a shameful history the modern Democrat Party has.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What does it say about black Americans that they vote so overwhelmingly in a one-sided fashion? Sure human nature is what it is (fallen) and there are liberal whites, hispanics, Chinese, Indians, etc. But I don’t know of any other groups which are so monolithic in their voting preferences.
&lt;strong&gt;urbancenturion on March 13, 2008 at 3:42 PM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;


  Jewish-Americans, by as large a numbers as Blacks, overwhelmingly vote Democratic.  I have observed that Blacks, like Jews, are in practice, moderate to conservative in their thinking, but almost always vote democratic.

&lt;blockquote&gt;I don’t know freevillage so I don’t know if he is being pointedly sarcastic/ironic or explicity raaaaacist!
&lt;strong&gt;urbancenturion on March 13, 2008 at 3:42 PM&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  After reading freevillage&#039;s previous comments on this matter, I think that the Hot Air audience will have no problem in determining whether he is doing a poor job at being sarcastic or a good job at being racist.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Agreed. The liberals are racists. And blacks overwhelmingly vote for them because they are blind and can’t see what’s going on. Virtually the entire race. 

Did I mention the liberals are racists?

freevillage on March 13, 2008 at 12:54 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

All blacks are blind? Does blind = underclass?

&lt;blockquote&gt;Unlike most of black people. Who demonstrably don’t listen to reason, since they vote for Democrats. You know, the racist Democrats.

freevillage on March 13, 2008 at 1:20 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Blacks don&#039;t listen? Effectively deaf = underclass?

I don&#039;t know freevillage so I don&#039;t know if he is being pointedly sarcastic/ironic or explicity &lt;em&gt;raaaaacist!&lt;/em&gt; But I must confess that I have a question based on a similar sentiment based on the same observation of voting patterns:

Some may contend that the question itself is racist. Would it help to think of the question not as racist, but as a challenge to prove the &quot;obvious&quot; answer wrong?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;an idea that people are commodities rather than individuals
Hmmm….Now I wonder where this idea comes from….? So, identity politics is capitalism’s fault?

Grow Fins on March 13, 2008 at 12:40 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Actually, Marxism equates people-workers-labor as commodities whose value is solely linked to economic value.

Capilaism and Western Judeo/Christian views of liberty and freedom recognize the intrinsic value of an individual that includes far more than economic value. A family is not just an economic unit but the focal point of education in matters of love, character, spirit, culture. This is why the destruction of values, morals, and family is so important to a Marxist. When they are gone, the only thing left is economic value, the most basic and animalistic aspect of human existance.</description>

		<description>What will it take for the 90 or so percent of Blacks, who vote liberal, to get out of it? Some of my Black acquaintances talk exactly like Mr. Doggett, and vote liberal anyway.</description>

If it was racist and divisive of Geraldine Ferraro to say that Barack Obama&#039;s candidacy wouldn&#039;t have gotten as far as it has if he wasn&#039;t Black, why was the now-late Howard Metzenbaum tolerated when he tried racist smears against...</description>

		<description>Bravo... I do feel for the guy though.  He&#039;s in new territory here and will have few friends who can relate... fortunately, those friends are people of color who have actual accomplishments on their resumes, which explains why they (Powell, Rice, Thomas, Jindal, etc...) are so powerful and so respected by all conservatives.  

Self esteem and societal respect is always best when it&#039;s earned and not handed out like Halloween candy by do-good liberals.</description>

		<description>Nothing new, but refreshing to hear none-the-less.  After watching Hillary&#039;s ridiculous, pandering apology for the words of truth spoken by Ferraro there can be little if any hope of a real campaign focused on issues this fall. The framework of identity politics has been completed and it appears unbreakable. Conservatives must accept the reality of a political rout this November, which will be the direct result of political correctness masquerading as the already demonstrated &quot;we are taking the high road&quot; excuse for not calling out the charlatan.   Get use to hearing; President Obama.</description>

		<description>Let me simplify things - under Communism, there will always be the proletariat. To the Communist elite [oxymoron that it is], skin color doesn&#039;t matter. ALL people, regardless of race, are minions to be controlled by them. While the minions queue for delicacies like milk, bread and potatoes, the Communist elite will have their collections of cars and their dachas. 

The Communist [e.g., Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama] elite in America are no different than the Communist elite under Stalin. The People don&#039;t matter - only power and privilege matters. The Communists in America don&#039;t show contempt for a person because of his/her skin color, or gender - they show contempt for him/her - &lt;strong&gt;simply because he/she exists and is not a part of the Communist elite&lt;/strong&gt;.

Communism is, and always will be, a fraud. A religion of hypocrisy. Their &quot;classless society&quot; is really only one of us versus them. And they wage class warfare every day.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;...and tried to warn people of the meltdown the Democrats will experience in 2008.&lt;/em&gt;

But will they? I think the jury&#039;s still a long way out on that one. I think a lot of their internal contradictions and tenuous alliances are being exposed in the primaries but that doesn&#039;t rule out blindly voting &quot;D&quot; in November, especially against a divided Republican party.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It’s nice to see that some Liberals will actually listen to reason.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Unlike most of black people. Who demonstrably don&#039;t listen to reason, since they vote for Democrats. You know, the racist Democrats.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;In fact, their liberal orthodoxy cannot exist in a world where blacks and Latinos no longer “need” their help.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Read the novel &lt;strong&gt;Black No More &lt;/strong&gt;by George Schuyer.  This is a ferocious satire written in the 1930s.  When a treatment makes Black people white, not only does this send the KKK into a frenzy, but also the NAACP and other &quot;helpful&quot; liberals.  Where are the downtrodden masses who need them now?</description>

		<description>And not just 2008. Identity politics is in fact the enemy of democracy--everywhere it has become institutionalized, it leads to ghettoization and the rule of local bosses, as in the &#039;millet system&#039; of the old Ottoman Empire. Europe is already going down this road--if we follow, we might as well forget the Constitution and our history and everything else that contributes to the the American identity.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;All of this comes from an idea that people are commodities rather than individuals, which is what angers Doggett so much. He got challenged by a white person for not being black enough — ie, not mindlessly following the liberal line. Ferraro, Hillary, Obama, and Wright all perpetuate in one way or another the same notion: that people are commodities who should follow identity politics in order for authenticity, except when those identity politics put them as individuals at a disadvantage.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Bravo, Ed.</description>

		<description>Agreed. The liberals are racists. And blacks overwhelmingly vote for them because they are blind and can&#039;t see what&#039;s going on. Virtually the entire race. 

Did I mention the liberals are racists?</description>

		<description>Isn&#039;t it amazing when people, black or white, have common sense and tell it like it is? Good for Doggett.

		<description>Ed, I&#039;ve just reread your post with the transcript of Metzenbaum&#039;s attempt to smear Doggett, linked by The Anchoress in her piece, &quot;Why I left the Democrat party.&quot; The upside of the Democrats winning Congress in &#039;06 was that I could leave the party knowing that I wasn&#039;t abandoning the losing side for the winning side, to paraphrase Whittaker Chambers. Thank you for your fine work</description>
