    Show me the rule that says a post that otherwise follows the rules is trolling if the poster's sole motivation is his or her own entertainment.

    I remember how all the Republicans fought the idea of a Martin Luther King Day.

    Reagan also submarines the Equal Rights Amendment.

    Doesn’t appear the dems were ever bothered by Johnson’s use of the n word.

    One word, we condemn you, and anyone who doesn't condemn you. "The Mello Guy," the saint, absolute god on earth, never been bused, never been beat up by other races for your color, yeah, tell us you never said a racist word ever; all of you hypocrites.

    Let's see, black calls me every name in the book, I didn't respond in kind, he later admitted that he wanted to get me fired, and all it would have took is one word from me. So, do I forgive and move on, or do a dredge it up when I see him 30 years later and demand for my entertainment that you all condemn him, because he was a racist 30 years ago, with more than one word?

    We can't even see what Raygun was responding to, the Tanzanian delegation was dancing, why, what did it look like, any video?

    Amendments take States, and for far longer than any Republican majority, you still didn't do it.
    Only a Bigot would say "all." Just checked, my representative voted for it, he was a Republican. Oh, wait, he was the only Republican to vote for it, the only Republican in our State, more Democrats voted against it. See if you can guess his name, he later became Speaker.

    Actually, the article from the tabloid New York Post says some guy named Ryan Lizza said Tim Russert said it. So second-hand quote? From a member of the lamestream media? That's your source?

    So the answer to my question is, "No, Mr. McMurphy, there is no recording of Clinton saying that."

    That quote, isolated, might lead one to conclude that Trump hates America. I mean, it's no better that anything Omar has said.

    His chief complaint seemed to be that they were not wearing shoes. He even blasphemed! Where is the evangelical anger over this?

    Liberals were bothered by it. Conservatives weren't. I don't believe anyone knew about until way after the fact. By "anyone", I mean the general public.

    I don't care. How about that?

    If you produced audio of Donald Trump saying racist things I wouldn't care. I don't care what people think I care what they do. So far the things Trump has done or has wanted to do I've been mostly okay with some things I actually support.

    You can cry racism all your little heart desires. Most people don't believe you and the ones like me don't care.

    Comments can be racist in nature. So what?

    You probably think I'm racist because I voted for Donald Trump.

    So what do I care if you think I'm racist for not condemning Ronald Reagan?

    Why the hell should I care, I'm not the keeper of evangelicals.

    I'm sorry Bigot or Racist sir, your one word, that one word wrong you said years ago, makes you that, forever. Where is the "liberal" condemnation of you? Oh, wait, you're a saint or something perfect.
