Well i use it when appropriate (Clarence Thomas, Allen West, Jesse Lee Peterson...to name a few), and yeah...it's a scummy word. But some actions necessitate its use sometimes.
It really doesn't bother me that Rush used the term...i just think his logic is flawed. But whatever...i'm cool with it.
Some of your posts are racist, that is obvious. You use Uncle Tom to play the race card because you cannot discuss policy as it would expose the failed ones you follow. Informed people discuss policy.
[quote=desertdetroiter;35401597]LMAO....this cracked me the hell up. I guess Rush was kinda mad.
Can't win. Conservatives want blacks to vote Republican....but only when it's legal.

Reason: do not "fix" another member's quote
If Cochran wins, they DON'T get he Tea Party guy...
That's called a win-win.
BTW... Mississippi black folks know Mississippi white folks quite well. So Cochran isn't getting over on anyone. Blacks don't trust him as far as they can throw him, but he's still better than the alternative.
Good to see the racism in your posts again. Business as usual. Since when should people be judged by their color? Rhetorical.

I fixed your quote for you. It looks like many of the votes were illegal. But keep falsely testifying since you're afraid of the truth.
I don't mind if you call me names or insult me. Couldn't care less about the TOS rules regarding that.
But please, avoid changing my posts in the future.
If the votes were illegal (you hope), then you've got nothing to worry about, do you?
And no, i use Uncle Tom to describe black folks that have it coming. And as i've said in many other posts, i don't consider it the business of non-blacks to interfere. It's not like you can help these people anyway. If anything, you're hurting them.
BTW...what failed policies do i "follow."

Oh...so you're really not interested in my answer to that, are you?
Of course not. You don't really wanna discuss that one.
[quote=MrClose;35403537]Harriet Beecher Stowe, The author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, like most liberals believed that support for the downtrodden demanded sympathy rather than solidarity.
Like most liberals, she thought that liberation could only be granted by the good grace of the powerful rather than achieved by the will and tenacity of the powerless.
In one polemical passage Stowe asserts: “There is one thing that every individual can do [about slavery] they can see to it that they feel right.†To that extent Tom must also be rescued from Stowe as well.
The fact is .. it is the Black Democrats who use the Uncle Tom expression when a Black leaves the plantation!
Uncle Tom is whoever you want him to be. Arbitrary in application — who decides who is an Uncle Tom and on what basis? — and prohibitive in nature, it exemplifies the very limits of race-thinking. Even though it is an insult that falls most readily from the lips of self-avowed radicals, it is in fact a reactionary form of psychological and behavioural racial policing within black communities.
I can find numerous examples but the following sums it up nicely:

Under the state law of Miss runoffs (and Texas' too I might add), it was entirely legal for those who had not voted in the primary at all to vote in the runoff. It doesn't seem fair and/or moral, but that's the law.
Even funnier is Donna Brazile commenting that Cochran did so much for black Mississippians and that they were paying him back- LOL. Uncle Tom in real life was a fugitive slave who helped more than 100 other fugitive slaves escape to Canada in the 1830s. He was an american hero.

I'm not from Mississippi so i can't say...sounds like you know though: has Cochran NOT done much for black Mississippians? Is that what you're saying?
Because he's done plenty for white Mississippians...believe it. If he's done nothing for black Mississippians, that sort of justifies black opinions about Republicans because as a senator and not a congressman, he represents ALL of black Mississippi too...right?
Limbaugh is a reactionary, a shock jock, and a sore loser. And many people wonder why Blacks have reluctance to vote Republican. The moment many Blacks do, suddenly, there are those who complain. All this shows is that Blacks can't win. Deep down, I feel like some people don't want Blacks involved in the political process at all.

I spent a good amount of time at post #27 spanking the meme of the left!
There are some BIG WORDS in the post .. let me know if you need some assistance?
You are telling me you read the entire forum before you post a comment ? I think not, but if you want to pretend you do, it matters not to me.
As for your post itself, you didnt refute a single thing i posted. You just posted the origin of the original term, And Republicans interpretation of why the author was a moron in his/her opinion ?
You said it refuted me, and if i had any question, you would be willing to answer them, so explain how it refuted my post ?
Are you arguing that the terms have different meanings to different people? If so, the only way that refutes my claim is if you know Rush's definition is different than mine, but you dont.
He was using the term as a negative and misusing it at that.
