  1. I suppose it would take about as long as some regulars on here took calling African-Americans for Obama a racist organization. Doesn't mean they'd be right. Except that's exactly what it is. Stop sanitizing racism.
  2. It doesn't but FJ never lets facts interfere with a good rant against an imaginary enemy.
  3. Motorcyclists have been subjected to this type of treatment for a long time. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/2/12419/Motorcycle-Article/Virginia-Law-Halts-Motorcycle-Checkpoints.aspx http://www.cyrilhuzeblog.com/2011/03/03/georgia-state-justifies-motorcycle-checkpoints-location-disclosed/ http://www.policechiefmagazine.org/magazine/index.cfm?fuseaction=display_arch&article_id=1536 Ask any biker who has attended events like Rolling Thunder or Bike Week.
  4. Unbelievable. Forced sterilization was done in the past and was deemed repulsive to the Nth degree. Maybe we HAVE totally lost it. See the problem is when it's institutionalized sterilization. A kick in the nuts would be more appropriate and acceptable.
  5. And then someone from the "other side" will feel obligated to get a dig in, even though the criticizer was completely neutral in his criticism. Unbiased criticism...yep, that makes a lot of difference. Damned sure does. If it was biased you'd be raising hell about that...and rightfully so. Maybe the problem is really those who can't take criticism of any sort. Nice, except both of you missed the tongue in cheek response. Perhaps the real issue has more to do with overly emotional response's and less with the ability to comprehend?
  6. I think the Unions grossely abused the recall process. The recall was just a pathetic attempt to overturn the results of an election and to subvert the will of the people. Walker was fairly elected, and fulfilling his campaign promises (rare these days) and the unions didn't like it. I think the recall option should only be used when an elected politician has broken laws or is clearly using his power for personal gain, or involved in some subversive activity. The people of WI should be embarrased that this fiasco was allowed to happen.
  7. The NAACP is populated with a lot of racists. By definition, it is a racist organization. Fortunately, they do not encourage violence. That;s very likely why many find their racism acceptable.
  8. Aw come on Wendy, it's not like you to play the victim/poor me card. With donors like Soros, Corzine and the like, it's pretty disengenuous to contend this came down to money. Especially considering Obama raised more money in 2008 than any President in history. The real question is why wasn't the Obama money machine in WI campaigning? That's the real truth.
  9. You're kidding, right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdjoHA5ocwU
  10. I see your point, but I think you miss mine. "African- Americans for Obama" may support Obama simply because he is African-American. That would be racist. If they support him because they agree with his policies, and they happen to be African-American, that is not racist. If "Non-African-Americans Against Obama" are against him simply because he is African-American, that is racist. If they are against him for other reasons, and they happen not to be African-American, that is not racist. The OP discovered a website called African-Americans for Obama, and instantly assumed that it was a bunch of racists. I was merely pointing out that the organization may or may not be racist. Just because they are a group of people who share a race, does not make them racist. In other words, would an organization called "African-Americans for Romney" automatically be racist? I don't think so, maybe you do. Where do White African Americans fit into your pigeonholes? Or are you only referring to Black African Americans? Oh, I know several white Africans, living and working in the States having dual citizenship. Are they "White African Americans" ? Or are you only referring to Black African Americans? I'm trying to figure out what Dan is referring to. I have 2 friends who are from South Africa and they have blonde hair and blue eyes. My point is that it isn't truly "African Americans for Obama" it's actually "Black African Americans for Obama" and that makes it racial and it also makes it wrong.

  13. You do realize that the website is not "African Americans for Any Guy Who Happens to Be Black", right? Perhaps black Americans share more than just skin color. Perhaps they also share a common history, culture, food, religious ties, etc. Is it okay for them to bond over those things, or is any group of black people getting together for a common cause evidence of racism to you? If it was just African Americans for Obama, then no problem. But it's not, it's "Black" African Americans for Obama, and that's racial.
  14. .....and then someone else jumps in and criticizes everyone else for being biased. Perfect, thanks for completing the pathology.
  15. Nope. Been too busy with the daily struggle of slogging my way through the Great Obama Recession.
  16. It showed nothing of the sort. People can register at the polls in that state, apparently. But that aside, it's third hand he said he said, appears to have been misread, and wasn't cited well to start with. It shows what reaching for straws looks like. Apparently DOJ disagrees With you. Please send Eric Holder an email and tell him to stop wasting tax-payer money investigating voter fraud. http://p.washingtontimes.com/blog/watercooler/2012/jun/4/picket-doj-monitor-wisconsin-recall-election-tuesd/ http://p.washingtontimes.com/blog/watercooler/2012/jun/5/picket-wi-ag-warns-voter-fraud-can-be-easily-commi/
  17. This is what happens when people spend too much time on left-wing websites. It rots the brain.
  18. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/06/05/report-voter-turnout-119-percent-in-madison Yep, no problem here.
  19. Is the baby cranky tonight? This type of stuff is beneath you, Bill. "say one word if you are guilty....go ahead say something.... *shaking head* Has it dawned on you yet that it's not an issue of supporting either person but that it really is a question of the application of Florida's "SYG" laws dealing with personal defense? Shhhhh............. Let him go, he's on a roll.
  20. Wrong again. The very next post was questioning YOUR words. Care to try for the nightly Trifecta?
  21. The Police advised Z not to shoot M?
