These right wing hypocrites are almost too fast to keep up with my parodies of them.
Did Toure' quit after his junior year in college or did he flunk out?

Now all we need is the, "Where's all the white women at?" clip from Blazing Saddles and a pic of the three members of the "New Black Panthers" for it to completely erupt.
When did the NBPs gain that third member? most of the leaners here talk about all two of them in the video and you just gave them a new member.

He was wrongfully, but not illegally, fired for his comments. I'm against what happened to him just as I am when it happens to liberals.

It's you poor right wingers, that wrap yourself in the flag, and act like victims only when one of your own gets taken down.

Very few of you have any credibility when it comes to standing up for free speech.
I sure liked that one. Do it some more so we know how really smart you are.

I have the right to criticize and choose any insurance carrier I want based on their actions.

Freedom, love it or leave it.
Besides that insurance company that adds the bashing of the two cars always says you can save up to $500 with them over GEICO.

Can't even get through one post without name calling. I feel sorry for your lack of words.

Well, yeah, especially if the comments were about leaners. Huh?

Replacements don't always fill in so well as the poor soul that was fired. Too many people like him.

Exactly!

OMG, those people who administered my only IQ test way back in the late 40s didn't tell me that if I took on the wrong ideology my IQ would drop. I kept the proper ideology in my head till I was 42 and then must have started dropping IQ points since the Democrats nominated an admitted socialist for President. Oh yeah, they nominated George McGovern that summer. Damned liberals caused my IQ drop and that must be why I don't like them any more. I know that such a thing can't happen but I also know that IQ is about the ability to learn and has nothing to do with your real intelligence. Read up on that one sometime.
