Still purposely perpetuating the lie of what never happened? Andrew Brieitbart has a reward to go for NAACP scholarships if you have the video proof. Excuse me if I don't hold my breath.
Were you there? Doubtful.
Just because it wasn't caught on video doesn't mean it didn't happen. I trust that these men had no reason to lie about being called the "N" word.
Well, SHE was making the claim that it was a lie. Therefore, she has to prove it never happened if she claims it's a LIE.
Of course, those who would try to confuse will continue to do so regardless of facts.
That's just abouot the most ridiculous statement I can imagine. Do you actually believe that the onus of proof is on the person who says something DIDN'T happen? OK, let's play.
You stole my car last night. I saw you.
Go ahead. Prove you didn't. After all, that's how you say it works.
I cannot watch the video where i am, but I saw that interview on TV, did you hear the reporter giggle when the guy said "my people"? Maybe she thought the guy was "from the Special Olympics or something"?
In other words, when an experimental economic policy creates a tinderbox situation, inevitably resulting in a 100 million acres fire laying waste 60yrs of growth, you'll absolve yourselves of all responsibility for voting that policy for 30yrs but blame the fire department for all actions taken to manage a global nightmare.

Well, when the fire truck shows up loaded with newspapers, bundles of currogated cardboard, and and a small forest worth of logs, it's a good idea to remind them that they are supposed to be trying to EXTINGUISH the fire, isn't it? Or would you prefer we help them throw those logs on top of the burning stack?
Just because it wasn't caught on video doesn't mean it didn't happen. I trust that these men had no reason to lie about being called the "N" word.
Are you kidding?
Of course they had a reason to claim they were verbally attacked and called "the n word". It gives them a way to bypass actual discussion on the issue. It lets them play the role of victim, and to dismiss all opposition as ugly ignorant racists. So much easier than actually defending their positions.
Funny how that works. Of course the moment he summons the audacity to advocate such evils as equality and social justice he just becomes another Al Sharpton to them, his honorary white conservative token badge having been duly and expeditiously revoked.
advocating social justice hardly makes one an 'al sharpton' in anyone's book.
They have been whipped into a hysteria by Beck, Limbaugh, Palin and others, some if it driven by the race of our President.
You've got it backwards. It's the LEFT that has whipped itself into a hysteria and is frothing at the mouth in their hatred of Beck, Limbaugh and Palin. This entire statement is beneath contempt, especially the last part.
The people who actively protested Bush were far fewer than the mob that has formed against President Obama.
People react to the economy. Obama was handed a weaker economy. If Obama came before Bush, Bush would be catching hell right now.

The media loves to run this spin too. Each side wants the other to fail. This is old news. Same BS when the some of the Repubs call people against the "War on Terror" unpatriotic.

When times are tough people protest more. Your idea of viciousness is different from mine. I care a lot more about the issues people are protesting. Substance over style.
Generally speaking the Republicans have been for lower taxes. The smaller gov't is a partial truth. Smaller government on policies that fit the Republicans agenda. When they say "smaller Government does not include the military" I get confused. Team America?

The race card is being played by the left. That doesn't bother you? But the minute amount of attacks on Obamas racial background do? You keep adding credence to things that don't represent the majority of people dissatisfied with Obama.

Like I said. This is a media thing. Knowing the policies Obama backs have failed in the past is different than "wanting him to fail". And yes the right loves to implement their own policies that are no better. They just serve their side instead of your side.

Why weren't any of these "better" people willing to take on the steep mountain of problems that America was facing under the failed administration of George W?
Why did these "better" leaders stand on the sideline if they truly felt that President Obama was a radical who would take America in the wrong direction?
Isn't really true that these same people who stood on the sideline actually did not have the guts to take on the problems created/expanded under Bush but knew that they could attack from the sidelines much easier than to actually be in position to create solutions?
Too many from both sides are loyal to their party instead of their constituents and the Constitution. I felt I had to point that out since you only mention one side. First they are against the Patriot Act then they are for it.
There were a few candidates who have stood up to Bushs and Obamas unconstitutional policies.
Maybe you can tell me why you backed Obama if you did. I have no idea why people backed McCain or Obama, except party loyalty.

The fault lies within yourself. It is your inability to open your ears and eyes to the solutions. We already have a good path to the answers but people like yourself ignore it. It's called the Constitution.
The real problem is not "the other guys say mean things about us".
You have to read between the lines. "Taking our country back" means white people taking it back from a black man. Also, the Teabaggers want to cut spending in vital services such as unemployment benefits and assisted living because they perceive poor lazy black people as leeching off their taxes.
Well , thats what i get for engaging such ignorance..........more of it.
