I think some people have reached a new level of desperation in their need to insult those that they disagree with politically.
The Election Of The Greatest Con-Man In Recent History
- Thread starter Stretch
- Start date
"When Clarence Thomas was going through his confirmation hearings the Democrats showed their true colors. Thomas dared to not kneel and grovel at the feet of Liberal Democrats and they attempted to smear him and failed miserably. It was a Clarence Thomas said..."
Actually, EagleSmack the Democrats, and especially their sainted beached whale, alcoholic, drunk chicken-livered killer Ted Kennedy revealed their true hateful self with demonizing Judge Bork, giving another word to the English language: borking.
When they did the same in colour with Judge Thomas, it was just a feather in their cap.
To Democrats, any black person, who dares to be anything but a Democrat, is a pathetic, miserable Uncle Tom.

Why the over zealous Canadian interest in The American political scene? For those that obsess in Obama's acts or lack of them, why not express your analytical views on BC's destruction lead by Gordon Campbell ?
Probably because there is a forum for BC in another section.
Campbull is an out-and-out jackass and his idiotic party are out-of-touch with the realities of BCers. The Dippers are no better. Their habit of taxing the heck out of BCers so they can fritter away money and double the provincial debt every time they get in is despicable. Last time they got in they chased businesses and residents out of the province with their disastrous fiscal policies.
I have no idea who I will vote for next prov. election but it sure as hell won't be Glib or Dip.
Um, sorry about avoiding discussion about The Big O but there are plenty of threads devoted to smearing/praising him.
You missed my point probably because you took it as a personal slight. People can say what they like pro and con about " the big O " , that's our right, I just wondered why it appears to be of such great interest in here when we have our own politics to beat on or not. Have you been in the BC Forum lately. Interestingly I go to another Political Forum { American ] and the Americans are much less cynical than Canadians of their president.
I probably didn't take it as a slight. I just can't see the reason for bringing up a Canadian provincial political issue in an thread where the topic is American federal politics. It just seemed out-of-place to me.
But, people like to talk about all kinds of things. There's only so much you can say about Campbull and BC provincial politics. People get bored and move to other issues.
Simple answer: Canadian politics are boring whereas US politics are combative and polarizing which make for good entertainment.
SirJosephPorter, Civil Rights and Voter Rights all came about during Nixon. LBJ had NOTHING to do with it.
Yukon Jack, Nixon pass Civil rights Act? Give me a break, when did Nixon do anything good (except start the EPA)?
No doubt you have selective, reprogrammed memory. In your memory, everything good has probably been done by a Republican, everything bad has been done by a Democrat. Well, I am sorry to shatter your dream world, but Civil rights Act was passed in 1964 (I thought everybody knew that). For your information, Nixon became president in 1968.

Medicare and Medicaid are bankrupt.
So are you saying that they should not have been started? I am sure the seniors and the poor people in USA will be happy to hear that. Medicare and Medicaid are so popular that even the Republicans dare not shut them down.
First black Supreme Court Justice. If you were just as jubilant about the second black Justice, your enthusiasm could be justified.
The second black justice is a right wing hack, a political, partisan Republican. He is a conservative Republican first, a jurist second. Compared to Thurgood Marshall, he is like a poodle to an elephant.
Crucifix in piss? If you all that kind of endowment for the arts a success, you are welcome to it.
Again, Republicans controlled House, Senate and presidency for six years, they did not shut down NEA. In fact, they did not dare to shut down any of the programs established by Johnson. That shows how successful Johnson has been, most of the programs he started are in existence today, and going strong.
LBJ? Engineered the murder of his President. Is that great?
Really? You must be a birther, you seem to love conspiracies. Do you believe that Obama is an illegal alien, a Muslim terrorist?

Oh, by the way, YJ, Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965, and your hero, Nixon was elected in 1968. Contrary to what you believe, not every good thing was done by a Republican, and not every bad thing was done by a Democrat.

Race and supreme court confirmation?
Of course our forum conservative friends forgot about the Republican smear of Judge Sotomayor. But it's OK when the Republicans do it, naturally.

No. YukonJack makes a very good observation. People should be treated as individuals, not as "blacks". The treatment of Clarence Thomas by some liberals in the U.S. (I happen myself to be an American and extreme left-winger) is atrocious.
I wouldn't call last November-January in Canada boring. The election campaign may have been boring. The coup attempt err, coalition attempt after was not.
That smear of her was downright dumb. I practice in the Southern District of New York, where she formerly sat. She had a rather good reputation.
To take a biased approach to her was both wrong and stupid, if the Republicans ever want to take California, New Mexico or Florida again.
Obama hypocrisy: continuing American fascism with unlimited detention

Almost a year after Mr. Obama's election as President, with the sworn duty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, his administration continues the unconstitutional policies of declaring human beings as "enemies" and detaining them without rights for as long as they so dictate (as in dictatorship). As a teacher for US Government classes, I can tell you that this is un-American in every academic understanding of what Americanism means. We have other words to describe a political philosophy of unlimited government that rejects inalienable civil and political rights: dictatorship and fascism are academically correct.

So according to Carl Herman, Obama is a Fascist (and also no doubt a Nazi, a Socialist, a Communist, an illegal alien, a Muslim terrorist etc.). The guy probably belongs to the extreme right, he is probably a birther, an Obama hater.
