    I made a numbered post describing reasons why blacks vote Democrat, none of which entailed "stupidity." Of course instead of responding to that, you just sling more lies characterizing millions of regular people as racists who think blacks are stupid based on their political beliefs alone. That's -real- stupidity.

    You really are the straw king. The low info voting bloc of the left doesn't include only blacks and other minorities, but whites, union members of all stripes, young people, a majority of women (65% of single women under 35 voted for Obama). I also never said nor implied that the entirety of the leftist voting blocs were low info... just most of them.

    How about Conservatives just let black people vote how they want to vote, and deal with the consequences.

    Why do they have to play these race-bating games?

    Because if they don't get enough minorities to support them, their worthless ideology will become irrelevant in this country.

    There's a low info voting block alright.

    Nixon and Reagan pandered to them and got them to become Republicans.

    You both have good points. The Democrats of the past were quite racist and anti-black, but this isn't relevant for deciding on Democrats as candidates today. Even judging candidates by the actions of their immediate predecessor can be risky - judging Taft by the actions of Teddy Roosevelt is a good example.

    Sure, judging them based on their colleagues actions rather than their own might be a good way to explain a lot of behavior in society, but I don't think a very good case for this to be a good thing in actuality.

    I dunno, hell why even have this forum or any political discussions at all?

    As far as "race-baiting" lawlz, the nonleft sat by quietly for 50 years while the left slung bigoted poo around unchecked, and persists in that to this day. It's not OK to call someone you don't know a racist based on where they live or how they vote alone. It's just as bad as any racism, yet carries the patented leftist seal of approval and always has. Get used to backlash, it's going to increase. The left, not anyone else, decided that politics needed to be a hateful exercise in race-baiting, and everyone else is starting to rise to the bait.

    Conservatives have been race-baiting politics since the 1850s.

    If you wish to sully the author's reputation without proof, go right ahead.

    I'm heartened to see you dismiss racists quote from a dem POTUS who obviously hated blacks. It bolsters my faith in liberals.

    Only a lib would call telling the truth 'race baiting'.

    'Lib' is name calling? So you run from your belief system? Hell, I don't run from any of the labels you people use to reference Republicans.

    Respond to the point which is your double standards.

    yes, its an offensive pejorative.

    that's why you call me "Lib" rather than my member name.

    embrace your use of personal attacks.

    When the Dixiecrats retired, they were replaced with many republicans who either embraced or subtley supported racism:

    Yeah, they are all fooled, but not you, you know the Democrats are the real racists, why just look at what William Jennings Bryan said........and don't pay any attention to the last 50 years, and you make perfect sense, especially if we ignore the present day policies of the parties.....


    You don't suppose the black people pay any attention to stuff like this
    Because that kind of sounds offensive doesn't it?

    No perjorative lib.

    http://www.internetslang.com/LIB-meaning-definition.asp

    What is LIB?
    LIB is "Liberal"

    LIB Definition / LIB Means
    The definition of LIB is "Liberal"

    The Meaning of LIB
    LIB means "Liberal"

    So now you know - LIB means "Liberal" - don't thank us


    If you think it is a personal attack, report it. You have that right. But if your feminist heroes commit assault that's fine.

    I put in a variety; not just op eds as you maintain. Are you claiming there is no racism in the republican party?

    So what if LBJ used colorful language. He did more for Blacks than any other president since Lincoln. That is quite an achievement, and not one Black voters are going to forget.

    Yeah. A variety of op-eds form the ignorant left rag sheets. .

    Are you claiming there is racism in the Republican party? Post it then.

    That, and Gingrich referring to Obama as the "food stamp president", Santorum claiming he doesn't want white people's taxes going to Black people, conservatives harping on "Obama phones", emailing around pictures of Obama was witch doctor. The list goes on and on.

    Right! So what if he said he was going to pander to them and buy their votes with handouts? Is that your point? Because that is what he said and what he did.

    Only a lib would say that buying black votes with handouts was 'doing more for blacks' since Lincoln. You celebrate blacks getting pimped and pandered to? Only a racist would do that.

    Why do Angry White Guys think that Black Americans think that the Democrats actually care about them?

    Angry White guys just can't understand why Black Americans don't love them any more.

    They like to pretend it is about Black Americans.

    Republicans on the Supreme Court recently gutted the enforcement provision of the Voting Rights Act. WI Republicans just limited voting hours in urban areas. With Blacks disproportionately representing felons, the GOP disenfranchises them. Their mouthpiece, Fox News, shows Bill O'reilly flabbergasted by the image of Blacks using knives and forks in a restaurant, Meghan Kelly insisting Jesus is white, flogging the no -entity, the New Black Panther Party on her show. It just goes on and on...

    That's because your knowledge of LBJ is limited to one sentence, maybe two. As a teacher of Latino kids in 1928, he decided to commit his life to winning them equal rights.

    Don't forget Limbaugh's "Magic Negro" drivel.

    There has been no credible evidence that LBJ ever said that.
