"The Left Smears Another Black Republican" says white winger asshole
Note that Blackwell's race, in this post, matters only to the white wingers. Par for the racist course.

http://therealuglyamerican.com/2006/06/01/the-left-smears-another-black-man/



Filed by The Ugly American on June 1st, 2006 at 22:53 under Democrat Shenanigans, Frauds, Liars, and Scumbags, Lies Damn Lies & Statistics!, 2006 Elections

Confederate Yankee called this one early. The Rolling Stone editorial by Robert Kennedy Jr. pushing the conspiracy theory that the 2004 presidential election was stolen is really a thinly veiled smear of Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell.

Kennedy’s article was constructed for on reason, and one reason only; to smear a black fiscal and socially conservative candidate that has charisma, integrity, and cross-cultural appeal–in short, a real chance of winning.

tristero at Hullabaloo blog doesn’t wait long to drop the pretense and smears Blackwell directly.

Plain and simple, the Republicans stole the presidential election and Kenneth Blackwell, who seems to be up to his eyeballs in the shenanigans, is quite an accomplished liar.

Now should I accuse tristero of being a racist for saying Blackwell “seems to be up to his eyeballs in the shenanigans” and calling him “quite an accomplished liar”

No doubt if tristero were a right wing whacko saying the same thing about a black Democratic candidate that accusation would already be flying.

I guess since he is a left wing whacko smearing a black Republican candidate he gets a pass.

1. When all else fails
play the 'race card', or the 'gay card', or the 'family values card',
which ever one plugs in appropriately when the facts destroy your case
and you have no leg to stand on to rebut them

2. Since when have they ever let facts and reason interfere with their
"logic"?

3. Except that none of the criticisms of Blackwell have a damn thing to do
Edited on Fri Jun-02-06 02:38 PM by asthmaticeog
with race. Is criticising Katherine Harris' election theft misogyny? Nyet, comrades. Nothing to see here but desperation, move along...

edit: spelling

4. JC Watts is a sleazebag, Condi is a criminal, Powell is a shill,
and Blackwell has broken a lot of laws.

That's why these people get attacked by the left.


And, BTW, Republicans: If you're so concerned with promoting the rights of minorities, name for me one, just one, black Republican in Congress...

10. Can't
But wouldn't that be up to the people in their state to put them there?

5. Probably half the people who despise Blackwell's actions
have never even seen a picture of him. His infamous record is far more reknowned than the color of his skin. Why am I even attempting to argue against this guy's lame assertion anyway?

JC Watts' daddy still is the smartest guy in the room on this issue
A Black man voting for the Republicans makes about as much sense as a chicken voting for Col. Sanders," Watts Sr. ... told the Los Angeles Times.... http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1355/is_17_95/ai_54731475

6. Yea so? Blackwell got a taste of his on medicine
I don't like dirty politics but that's just the way things are, so if repugs don't like it perhaps they could stop doing it.

Politics have always been a contact sport, but ever since the 2000 election the good, bad and the ugly have been out in the open for all to see.

IMHO Blackwell doesn't need to be smeared, he needs to be convicted for what he did in Ohio in 2004.

Peace!

9. I didn't even know Blackwell's race until I opened this thread.
One of the many benefits of avoiding TV news.

11. Yeah, they're really quick to play that race card, aren't they?
Too bad most black folks in this country are smart enough to realize all those pudgy white men at the center of power in that party are still their deadly enemies.

The GOP sheep just can't understand why there's not a knee jerk defense from Democrats protecting any black man who gets his hands caught in the till.

We MUST be racist.
