1. LOL I love that piece

:rofl:

Army WakeMe2008 will defend Hudson, IMHO that was not racist if you heard the whole statement he made. He was talking about being in the Army and about a lot of blacks not being able to swim. He went on to say, We made sure the other Troops would be able to help anybody that was having trouble swimming.

4. It is also true, what he said,

according to govermental statistics and studies. You can read it here:
http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aa070901b.htm

"The report shows African American males above the age of five had significantly higher rates of drowning than white males. Drowning deaths in swimming pools were from 12-15 percent higher for African American males than for white males.

"Researchers have known that African American males are at a greater risk for drowning, but we didn't expect this to be due to an increased risk of drowning in swimming pools," said Dr. Brenner. "Additionally, a number of these deaths were in pools accessible to the public, rather than in private residential pools. Public pools hadn't been a big area of concern; however, our results present a very different picture."

Dr. Brenner suggests that African Americans' increased rate of exposure to dangerous situations in pools, such as overcrowding or lack of a lifeguard may contribute to this racial disparity. Differences in swimming ability and availability of swimming lessons may also play a role."

I will be the first to decry a bigot, but this just wasnt the case here.

9. you're kidding right?

but just in case you're not....Cafferty is comparing Sens. George ALLEN (R-Va), Conrad BURNS (R-Mt),
and the other guy (?), and their recent gaffes to Moe, Larry & Curly Howard (The 3 Stooges). I hope this helps.

7. CNN: "Cafferty News Network"

I wish that were the case. He should replace Wolfie.
