Jeez, is this really a thread? What happened to the people who called Clinton and Obama old news? Anyway, let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Will the PF members who never, ever uttered an unkind word about anyone please speak up, everyone else who is bashing Nixon, Reagan and cons are just hypocrites. You guys do know that the Dean Martin roasts featured worse language than what's being discussed in this thread, but those were Hollywood elites, so that's different.
No and No I do not believe either Reagan or NIXON were racist by their actions. After all, NIXON had his Jewish campaign manager way before Kissinger although might vent the usual anti Jewish slurs. NIXON on his own authority saved Israel with supplies in the Yom Kippur War. Reagan was concerned about the illegal Mexican American realm of underclass poverty and exploitation enough to grant amnesty. His error was no Wall associated with the amnesty. Their vocalizations were a product of their times and upbringing. Not racism in their first person, present tense actions. And let's face it. Sub Sahara nations are "monkey". Like it or not. The Alpha Male Gets The Most. Little left for the people's benefit Witness Rhodesia to Zimbabwe Full bellies and food exporter to starvation and food importer. What part do I have incorrect?
You have it all incorrect quite frankly. It's a silly assertion that because both men catered to one race means that they are not racist towards other race(s) is a bit silly. And why must you keep bringing up monkeys and Sub Sahara? That doesn't bring your point across well unless you want to make yourself look bad.
Duh-Uh That is what the Thread and Reagan's statement to NIXON is about. Why must you deny sub Sahara nations are not as described above? Reagan improved the lives of many illegal Mexican Americans. Hardly racist. Got Truthiness or just P.C.
What is strange is that none of the righties on here thus far have condemn Reagan's comment for what it was. All they got is conflation, obfuscation, and deflection. Funny that.
So why ask us whether or not we approve of Reagan's comment? You didn't volunteer anything either about LBJ until I asked you in response.
@Talon Oh How Deeply Sorry I am for enjoying Orange County, California. Strangely enough, significant Black population do stop at the county line. Why? I do not know. We got Asians of all flavors, Hindu, "Persians" etc. but we don't have Black people in any measurable numbers. That's the shameful history of Orange County California and the legacy. Are you jealous
Every single one. LBJ killed most of my graduating class and did his level best to kill me. He's the same sort of warmongering ******* we have in there now, they just switched parties.
Without paraphrasing - as above what part of a quote do you need illuminated? @3link Are YOU saying you can't read? Don'tchyajust paraphrasing?
