Reagan's evocative(and patently untrue) tales of welfare recipients driving Caddilacs and buying vodka with their food stamps didnt incite racism?
Or Nixons blatant pandering to former segregationists?
How do you think the Republicans ended up with such stellar "humans"(in this case it needs parentheses) as Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms?
We should cut off Lockhead-Martin tommorrow,and Mercedes,and Mack
Much bigger welfare queens then Reagans mythical welfare queen by far
Face it,the first place every president weve had since Reagan goes to cut the budget is welfare,and that includes the "liberal" Bill Clinton
Right now the money industry are lining up for the biggest US government handout ever. Bankers are a bunch of capitalists until they fuck things up by being greedy, then they turn into a bunch of socialists and ask the government for a bailout. A large amount of wealth is going to be transferred from working Americans to banks over the next few years via taxes, debt and inflation, the biggest single corporate socialist bailout in history. Even the debt and inflation makes money for the money industry -- your raging inflation is our record profits, interest rates have to go up to tame inflation so you pay us more interest on the debt you owe us for bailing us out. And this is apart from the huge regular corporate socialist subsidies paid every year to the healthcare/agriculture/pharmaceutical/war industries, to name but a few.
Yet Rush or whichever rightwing dickhead you listen to has you believing it's a few black welfare cheats that are putting your taxes up. Like illegal immigrants: black people vote 90% for Democrats because Democrats were being the civil rights bills. Hispanics will vote the same way for the same reasons in future. For decades the Democrats supported rights for illegals and this cost them votes and elections because the GOP pandered to the white majority over immigration. Now that the GOP need Hispanic votes to continue to win elections they're having to support what the Democrats have been advocating for decades. But all those years of demonising immigrants to their base are coming back to bite them, and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of racist panderers.
Yes I do and you insist on comparing apples to oranges...both concepts of inciting racism are wrong HOWEVER Republicans like Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond don't speak for or assume to speak for "All white people"....Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to assume to speak for all black people.
Thurmond and Helms never got anyone fired or extorted any money from companies like Sharpton and Jackson either.
Yes giving companies breaks doesn't do anything good for society....they do pay taxes, more taxes than individuals, and their survival keeps money in the pockets of their workers who also pay taxes.
The "Welfare Queens" as you wish to put it don't work, they don't pay taxes, they live off welfare.
Strom Thurmond once ran for election on a pro-lynching platform. He's one of a huge list of historic white vile racist assholes who you no doubt would apologise for too.
White politicians extort billions of dollars every year from companies, what guys like Sharpton get is a drop in the bucket. You ripping Sharpton for his sharp practices while ignoring the billions of dollars of deals that go on between lobbyists and racist panderers in congress every day shows just how bigoted you really are.
The rest of the post is just more dumbass rightwing radio host talking points. You just can't deal with facts and evidence any other way except repeat crap you heard off the radio, can you ?
I don't appologize for Strom Thurmond he was a product of an era of resentment and hatred. It's not for ME to appologize for as I had nothing to do with his views or electing him.
Sure Strom ran on a pro-segregation platform....remind you of anyone? Louis Farrakahn? Malcom X? Both segregation advocates and are THEY called racist very often? Not as often as Strom.
If Strom had no love for black people then how do you account for his fathering and care for Essie Mae Washington-Williams his illigetimate daughter?
We get so far off the point because you guys want to go back and try to say I am racist and I am a bigot when basically this is a dead issue now....Bernard should know what he said was wrong and it shouldn't happen again, there doesn't need to be any fine or firing or anything like that but ohhhhh noooo you guys just can't accept that, you'll go back and wail and moan about my views on other issues because what I just said isn't sensational enough for you to use to paint me as a bigot.
