This is the same president who, the day after MLK day two years ago, used the recess appointment mechanism to appoint for only eight months Charles Pickering, a Mississippi judge rejected by congress with a questionable history of civil rights views.
And even though it infuriated civil rights activists, at least Bush''s friend gets a higher pension for being elevated, if only for a short while.

His actions never match his rhetoric.

"Lynchings are wrong." Brilliant. We knew that.

Hanging and lynching are not the same thing.

You could be hanged after a trial and verdict, like John Brown.

But more blacks than whites have been lynched.

[iceman_1960]

"The era of rampant lynching is a shameful chapter in American history," Bush said in an event marking African-American history month at the White house."

That was the waterboarding of that era.

But I for one applaud President Bush for really going out on a limb like this.

Imagine the guts it took to make that bold statement.

OK, now lets get back to the deficit, the mortgage meltdown and the war in Iraq, shall we?

Why is it that some people need reasons to be better than the next and would focus on the color of the epidermis?

Answer: Because this type of sentiment is borne of a European mentality still suffering from a mean elitist streak. There is a book by Jared Diamond called Guns, Germs and Steel...it is a must read for anyone sensitive to this sort of history and question. Sometimes I feel like there is no sense trying to level with a hardened bigot...we just have to wait for them to die off.

He was not pointing out any "irony" he was stating that Bush was in the Klan. I DID read the post. Thank you very much.

Well...MC has always been one who like to name call to drive his point home. That makes him a little abrassive, but wholly correct still. No sense being such a literalist when it comes to such remarks...sometimes you need to read a little deeper, and the irony is perfectly evident. It''s not what you read, but how you read it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The word is psychotic. Transferred from reality.

[blondmadison]

I have never and probably will never understand why color is a big thing.

Flowers are all different colors.
Vegetation is all different colors.
Animals of land sea and air are all different colors.
The human species comes in all colors too.
Why is it that some people need reasons to be better than the next and would focus on the color of the epidermis? Answer: Because they are shamefully dumb I would guess. What an embarrassment to be them.

[crusherking]

dmotte,
you have been dismissed. with that type of mentality, wait.. lack of mentality, you have no credibility. good bye.

[crusherking]

THinkharder,
SO, you are saying that MCVet has provided evidence that Bush is in the KKK? I''d like to see it. Thats my point. If you make a statement that inflammatory, you have a responsibility to provide the proof. I haven''t seen it because it does not exist. He was not pointing out any "irony" he was stating that Bush was in the Klan. I DID read the post. Thank you very much.

[bot5plus]

Bush needs to go phuckkcc himself. That murdering lyer needs to be wearing it for crimes against this country. Impeach that piece shiiite.

[fizzal-2009]

If this is so then why is it ok too spit on someone,call them names, throw their tools into the street, pull their spakplug wires out of their engine, just because they try too get too work and don,t belong too a union?

[forthepeopl1]

all you white americans guess what, haven''t you heard we are the minoritys now.

thanks bush.

65% of america is black,mex,his,asia,saudi

[thinkharder-]

Get off it you whiny azzed blacks...Many, many more WHITE people have been hanged than blacks...
Posted by DylanXXV

Hmmm...how do you figure that? Keeping count? You know...people like you and dmotte are member of a VERY sad past for this counrty. You are out of your time, out of your element, and apparently out of your minds.

[dylanxxv]

Get off it you whiny azzed blacks...Many, many more WHITE people have been hanged than blacks...

[dmotte]

Oh yea, screw U Mcvet.

[missingamerica]

lollll...Bush is equal opportunity, alright. If you''re wealthy, you matter - regardless of color, gender, or religion.

[thinkharder-]

Still espousing hatred and failing to receive the message. Why don''''t you provide something to back up your statements. Wait..That would mean you''''d have to speak the truth.
Posted by crusherking

MC had repeatedly substantiated his position on these forums. Why, have you not seen them? Wait...that would mean you''d have to read. While this walking *** we call president is 100% correct in his announcements here, that does not take back the torment he has put this country''s citizens through. And that''s not even mentioning the rest of the world. Back in the "lynching" days these criminals preyed on the fear of the black community using simple symbolisms ike nueses and burning crosses. today we have high level red terror alerts and the "scary" Iranians. You can''t blame MC for shedding some light on the irony here.
