“Today I relieved “whatever her name is” from her duties in my office. An offensive, and frankly stupid, cartoon was forwarded to her and instead of deleting the cartoon immediately “whatever her name is” passed it on to others. I have no doubt that “whatever her name is” is in no way racist and my guess is that the person who sent her the cartoon is in no way racist. This cartoon is an example of the kind of simple minded and personal attacks that those of the opposing political philosophy have developed since they are unable to defend their own ideas or constructively refute opposing ideas. These tactics were glaringly apparent in the recent attacks on Gov. Palin and her family and the good citizens of this country who expressed their concern of the government policies through their participation in the recent Tea Party demonstrations. We are proud and confident of our philosophy and ability to communicate and implement them and do not need to resort to the tactics of the left. We will continue to openly and honestly communicate our ideas while always following the Golden Rule.”

But no, this idiot politician never realized the obvious or acted in a manner that would indicate she had any idea of how this stuff works. She fell right into the leftist trap and made things worse for herself and anyone connected to her.

Good morning my Brother. You’re missing the point rcl was making. In the 60’s the repubs engaged in a southern strategy to win over the “cracker vote” and the WH. That is historical fact. And I believe you are referring to the Nixon win over McGovern which was indeed a landslide. rcl was referring to the Nixon win over HH which was by less than half a million votes. So without the cracker vote Nixon would have lost to HH.

Redneck Woman says Robert and I don’t know history. Well Redneck, segregationist Geo. Wallace took Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisianna and North Carolina in 1968. Richard Nixon won them all in 1972. Do you think the populace of the South had a mass change of heart on Republican economic policy?

talk about not knowing history….Nixon had a huge landslide all over the country…did the northeast vote for him because he was a racist???

laughable

and nixon instituted affirmative action…before 1972 I believe…sigh…

The Lord says the sins of the fathers will be visited upon his children for three or four generations. We’ve got one or two more to go before America’s paid her debt on race.

the Lord ain’t a big fan of twisting His words for your own political ends….

You’re running on fumes when you’re trying to extort me based on my supposed guilt for my grandparents.

Funny how the political movement based “only” on opposition to civil rights not only failed to assault civil rights, it also failed to condemn its own failure. That’s unlike any Republicans I ever met.

McGovern lost because his party is chock full of looney tunes.

Your party (assuming you are a rep) consciously sought out these dixiecrats.

Hey smartie pants, name all those Dixiecrats who became Republican. You can’t because that is a meme that has been perpetuated for years and is completely untrue…

And why was Dr. King a Republican? Why was he not a Democrat?

Redneck Woman on June 17, 2009 at 9:52 AM

I see Robert may be in the house so I’m bringing this back up from page 7. I brought up the Dixiecrat thing though I didn’t use the word. Redneck Woman is pulling a Sean Hannity selected history trick; she’s technically right but thoroughly wrong. When I brought the issue up I knew someone might slap back. The change was regional not individual. I can’t recall any “Dixiecrats” that jumped ship like Sen. Shelby or Arlen Specter but the “Solid South” became solid GOP territory for one reason only, opposition to the Democrat “Civil Rights” legislative agenda including Affirmative Action and minority targeted welfare and social programs.

Redneck Woman says Robert and I don’t know history. Well Redneck, segregationist Geo. Wallace took Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisianna and North Carolina in 1968. Richard Nixon won them all in 1972. Do you think the populace of the South had a mass change of heart on Republican economic policy?

It was race that tipped the balance and everyone paying attention knew it. I bet I’m with you Redneck Woman on policy issues most of the time, but I’m not going to lie about the past to justify the present.

Be careful Itchee, the spell check/punctuation police is on the prowl. I’d consider changing Itchee to Itchy as well.

I was still at work revising a contract for a client. I derive what little pleasure from my miserably boring work by thrashing you repubs on HA. It’s a guilty pleasure I know.

You’re hired if you can correct this fine example of sentence construction:

“Which has been your argument the entire time, the more sophisticated “I know you are but what am I?” from racism to reading comprehension.”

Thank you. Your finally catching up.

robertnyc212 on June 17, 2009 at 8:28 PM

I think you’re punch drunk…kinda numb in fact.

I know, it’s late, my bad.

What, past your bedtime? Even in New York it’s still early.

But you can compare it to the other examples where I’ve spelled it properly.

And give you the benefit of doubt that you don’t extend to others even when you have ample evidence of their innocence to choose from and yet choose the one instance of their error?

It’s your rules I’m playing by here.

The next time I need to hire a secretary I’ll keep you in mind. Bye.

robertnyc212 on June 17, 2009 at 9:02 PM

Sorry, but I don’t work for racists, and the editing you require is more than one person has time for. I’ve only corrected your spelling, not your punctuation.

I know, it’s late, my bad. But you can compare it to the other examples where I’ve spelled it properly. So thank you as I know that’s your (not you’re) basic function here. The next time I need to hire a secretary I’ll keep you in mind. Bye.

Thank you. Your finally catching up.

robertnyc212 on June 17, 2009 at 8:28 PM

You’re. You are using two words, not one.

Sorry, I’ve dished out enough beat downs for today. You’ll have to wait your turn next time…I’m out.

Uh oh, here comes the pine riders.

Thank you. Your finally catching up.

The jig is up

Now thats good.

The jig is up, you got me with one exception: I’m no liberal but you can call me Rush.

That was cogent.

Classic projection.

robertnyc212 on June 17, 2009 at 7:34 PM

Which has been your argument the entire time, the more sophisticated “I know you are but what am I?” from racism to reading comprehension. Might help to get your own argument next time.
