Typical Republican I would say.
Typical uneducated Democrat.

Do your Math.

You mean, typical Democrat? Because Deen is a Dem who campaigned for Obama in 2008.

Bullhockey! Blacks have the same opportunities to succeed or fail as everyone else. If they find themselves falling behind for reasons other than the fact that there aren't as many of them, they need to look within and fix their personal issues instead of sitting around whining and crying. Acceptance of responsibility is a requirement, which seems to be a hard pill for some to swallow.

And if Deans Great Grandfather was a slave owner he was also a Democrat.

People sure forget their history.

Django Unchained. Wasn't that movie nominated for an Academy Award?

Time for the self righteous P.C. police to give it a rest.

Maybe Jessie should worry more about his son and daughter in law? The fruit didn't fall very far from the tree now did it?

Prosecutors Friday recommended four years in prison for former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., following his guilty plea this year on criminal charges that he engaged in a scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items.

The government suggested an 18-month sentence for Jackson's wife, Sandra, who pleaded guilty to filing false joint federal income tax returns that understated the couple's income.

Loved Matt's anger at being stood up! Hope he shows for interviews when he's sent out the door which by all accounts is coming.

It's funny NBC can't figure out the reasons for their poor ratings beside the crappy shows.

Let them keep firing people. They still don't get it and just keep sinking in the ratings.

After the Zimmerman distortion, I refuse to watch the channel. It would be one thing if it was all accidental but it's not.
