farglebargle -> Old Man McCain and The Republican Octogenarians... (11/16/2012 7:42:23 AM)

The GOP is in a difficult spot. On the one hand, they've got a party full of racists who are threatening secession because the black guy got re-elected. On the other, they're dealing with a demographic reality that threatens to make them irrelevant if they go with the racists and ignore everyone else.

Now that Lee Atwater's "N*gger, N*igger, N*igger" tape is public, and that Today's Republicans are on notice that although they might not have known explicitly that racism was THE STRATEGY of the GOP, they DO KNOW NOW, and it's time to see if they have the balls to do what needs doing.

I suspect they DO NOT have the balls to do what needs doin'. But they have the opportunity to demonstrate whether they do, or do not.

Got a link for this tape...thanks in advance?




Moonhead -> RE: Old Man McCain and The Republican Octogenarians... (11/16/2012 8:47:27 AM)

Given that Atwater died in '91, I doubt it was recent. Could this be a quotation from the '60s, or even the '50s?

As recent as '81. Dearie me...




farglebargle -> RE: Old Man McCain and The Republican Octogenarians... (11/16/2012 8:53:59 AM)

Given that it's the core of Karl Rove's playbook, and he made MILLIONS 'advising' and 'consulting' on Romney's failed presidential run, promoting this, I think it's relevant. And again, now that REPUBLICANS **KNOW** about it, the question is, "Are Republicans MAN ENOUGH to throw the racists, and those who promote this strategy out of the party?"

Again, I doubt it, and I don't see any of Our Republican Friends standing up in outrage, but we'll see...




Moonhead -> RE: Old Man McCain and The Republican Octogenarians... (11/16/2012 9:09:42 AM)

That whole "dogwhistle" crap was going on long before '81, you'll find.

The problem, Fargle, is that if they throw out the racists and the religious zealots and the anarchists and the general purpose nut jobs, what's left? Precious little. I predict that IF any attempt is made to 'reform' the GOP, these elements will 'reform' the reformers right out the door. They have 'purified' the GOP so far that there is no way it can come back, thankfully. We don't need them pretending to be 'Demo-lights'.

Goodness. Is this what it has come too. Someone posting something that someone said over 20 yrs ago. Get a grip. I'm sure I can find many a recent video of anti- white comments being said by an Obama voter. Some people need to just get over themselves and get a life on both sides. GTFU.




DomYngBlk -> RE: Old Man McCain and The Republican Octogenarians... (11/16/2012 10:50:49 AM)

"Obama voter" ....lol..

That "someone" you refer to is the architect of the GOP's strategy for the past 20 years. Of course, this highlights the ignorance without which the blatant racism of the Republicans wouldn't have been viable this long.

This is so unbelievably ridiculous.

The dude that was an X KKK guy was a Democrat, a few Republicans in this election were morons.

That certainly isn't all Democrats or Republicans.

There's just as many texts being sent to young boys by Democrats as their are stupid concepts being blathered about by Republicans.

Granted, Republicans tend to fall more along religious/moralistic fault lines, Democrats fall more along the fault lines of saying whatever sells...(just KIDDING!!!!!)...it doesn't make your Gramma a heathen or a scarab solely because she believes that YOU should have had a chance to live and breath.

This has been going on since Socrates and earlier.....get over it.

The Dems lambasted George the 2nd (Washington being the first George), Rush Limbaugh fucks with anyone who isn't a Republican, Anne Coulter too, some other chic has a radio show and she and some other guy with bad hair on cable play the opposite end of the spectrum.

Smart people listen to both.

I listen to Rush to get a laugh when I'm out of "X" and I listen to the Dem radio when I want to see how ridiculous people can be (both, by the way....are)....

The Republicans are idiots.

The Democrats are idiots.

When everyone actually realizes that and votes for people like Ross Perot or Ron Paul....the world will be safer, you'll pay an immediate price because both understood that...there's a price to be paid....and you get to pay it because you put these fuckheads into office.....and that, friends....that's when shit is gonna get fixed.

Good thing Congress authorized that debt for Obama. He couldn't have completely recovered the economy to pre-2008 crash levels.

And we all agree that returning the stock market to pre-2008 crash levels is a good thing. Obama did it in about 3 years ( the current 52 week high is higher than the 2008 high. )

Sen John McCain, Sen Lindsey Graham, UN Amb Susan Rice

Two old white guys beating up on a young black woman.

Great optics for the Party of Lincoln [8|]

The difference being that this guy isn't just some voter:

Could you please explain how secession is tied to racism? Do they claim only whites are going to benefit from a separation?

Aside from if The White Guy Won, they wouldn't be talking about it at all?




fucktoyprincess -> RE: Old Man McCain and The Republican Octogenarians... (11/18/2012 5:21:36 PM)

A majority of married white men and married white women voted Republican in this year's Presidential election. Big surprise. This party has been and continues to be, the party for well off white people. But yes, their "demographic" is shrinking. Welcome to the new world order. Do they have the balls? They haven't had the balls in a really long time. But stranger things have been known to happen. It's just not going to happen soon.
