Frist appearing surrounded by black people
i didn't listen but i saw when Frist came out surrounded by some black people. it is just too fucking funny. are the Republicans really trying to say the party which a majority of minorities support are the racists ? why do they even try ? it's just so pathetic and they look like fucking idiots considering the lack of minorities in their party and their own policies.

2. Uh, your wrong!!!! They have minorities!!!!
Look at Powell, Rice, and Gonzales.... yeah.... they are multi-racial, and even ethnic !!!
They may be soooo far off their ethnicities economic and societal 'bell curve' as to be invisible - But b*sh is God - he has made them visible.


Ideology means nothing to them, so long as they agree w/b*sh - all is well !!!

3. The republicans...
...can manufacture appearances all they want. They can pose for symbolic pictures with minorities--but everyone knows that they're the party of the rich, white male.

When their flock comes to them--like at the inauguration--there are no minorities present. I watched the president's inauguration speech and the camera panned the crowd many times. Not one minority was within a half mile of that stage.

Bill Frist can pose all he wants.

Everyone understands that this extreme administration cares nothing about the real concerns and needs of minorities--and most times they leverage policies that work against minorities.

4. Saw it. It was a black coaliton who were
there to smear Robert Byrd. They were standing up for Condi Rice and pretty much maligned Byrd by bring up his Klansman past, he's racist etc One of them said that in a 2001 interview, Byrd used the N word. The tape will be circulating very soon.

She's a case--makes a living suing "gansta rap" artists.

18. She Was Joe Lieberman's Pal...
I remember her and Joe making a lot of noise about rappers...


By the way as a rap fan I'm somewhat sympathetic to her complaints.... Much of rap isn't suitable for kids but for adults it's just another form of entertainment...

20. I think he has been to the African ones though
Mostly they are all still that way from what I have heard and surmise, just the names have changed. This fundies and others just use all this B.S. for tax write off. Mostly they are not even sacrificing anything when they are at the top of the food chain of it. Frankly I feel the whole US seems like a Reservation, if you ask me. Where in the heck are all the real freedom loving people who can think for themselves?

The Religious Right, the Christian Coalition and Their Attack on Religious Freedom

(snip)
In April of 1997 the Virginia Pilot ran an article that reported Marion Robertson's Operation Blessing is more a blessing for his finances than for the sick, poor and hungry. In the article they interviewed the chief pilot for Operation Blessing during Robertson's Zaire period, Robert Hinkle. This is during the time Marion was buying diamond mines in Africa. According to the article, "Only one or two of the roughly 40 flights could be considered humanitarian. All the rest of the flights were mining related."

So the kind, yet misguided, souls who were sending money to Operation Blessing thinking they were helping poor hungry Africans were actually helping an American millionaire make still more millions! Surely, this is NOT what Jesus would want. We challenge Marion to do what the Bible says Jesus told the rich man in Matthew 19:21-25 to do - sell his possessions and give the money to the poor, not to one of his corporations.

Currently Marion's thoughts, as usual, are fixed on making still more money. His latest financial adventures involve oil. He wants to reopen oil storage tanks and an offshore terminal that was the site of a 1990 416,000 gallon oil spill off of Huntington Beach, California. As you can imagine local residents are worried of an other environmental catastrophe.

The "Reverend" formed an oil refining company called CENCO Refining Company in March of 1998. The plan is to have CENCO pumping 50,000 barrels of crude oil per day beginning in 1999. The trouble is Marion/CENCO doesn't want to go through a full environmental impact review because, according to the Los Angeles Times, "the company is buying assets of existing firms that held permits to operate the terminal, pipeline and refinery."

War is peace, up is down, GOP is pro-black.

21. Bush is supposed to be meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 02:36 PM by DesertedRose
Of course, last time they tried to meet with him, he sent Colin and Condi outside to the gate to say he wasn't there.

They said they weren't leaving until he showed up and he met with them some 20 minutes later.

*sigh*

Transparent....

And LEST WE FORGET....Black History Month is almost upon us! We might be seeing more of this. :puke:
