QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 01:52 PM) OK, so they almost killed the white kid as payback for past racial injustices done to their ancestors? Why didn't they just say so? They should just get a slap on the wrist then. My willingness or lack thereof to become black or latino has no bearing whatsoever on the fact that these kids beat up someone. Not my message. But you knew that. Next time use green and don't quote me.

It's fun to be in Texas

It sounds more like blackmail to me. We're going to be good if you do what we want and get out. And this guy is from one of the smallest factions.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 01:37 PM) It just amazes me what some people will defend to allow the government to take over everything people don't want to handle themselves. You mean like national defense, education, public health, eliminating polio, law enforcement, inspecting food processors, checking medicines, cleaning up polluted rivers, student financial aid, highways, air traffic control, prisons, courts, etc. etc.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 01:38 PM) I just gave a precis. A teaser, if you will. I didn't really do the material any justice - just giving people an idea of what the article was about. Well damn then, I guess I'll have to drop my print media boycott and read it.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 01:39 PM) That shouldn't be in green. . .

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 05:30 PM) OMG that was so wrong on so many levels

QUOTE(Soxy @ Oct 7, 2007 -> 06:24 PM) Worst.nightmare. Seriously, if I ever go into surgery I'm writing "NO TOUCHING" on my girls. Or on a date with anyone here . . .

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 01:16 PM) I link to an article, you question the article, I clarify, and you tell me you didn't read the article? I asked what sources they had because I didn't read the article. I trust that you can offer a good synopsis of the article. If you wanted us to read it, why explain it?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 01:17 PM) Whatever, dude. No one here is saying that. And most white people will agree that Sharpton makes it worse.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 09:19 AM) Cornhole In a fun v. redneck graph, fun just barely wins over redneck. http://www.washers.org/index.html is better.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 12:45 PM) The source was right there in the story - its the insurgent leader that is interviewed. ??? I didn't have time to read it. Plus, IIRC the Trib has a registration thingy. Thanks.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 12:58 PM) damn, son...it'd sure help my rap career. Maybe not dog, you were looking fly here

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 12:47 PM) That sounds like a good character for one of those beer commercials, where they highlight some odd hero, like "Mr. Taco Salad Maker" or "Mr. Giant Foam Finger Guy". Bud Light!! Best advertising. BTW, a while back they ordered a site shut down that had all the MP3s of the Real American Heroes and Real Men of Genius. I couldn't figure out why. Now I know http://www.budshop.com/budshop/itemDetail....e=3%2f28%2f2007

So we're to believe that ABC managed to crack Qaed's network by themselves? Yah right.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 12:16 PM) It's also worth thinking about the fact that, with the dark dungeons of the internets out there, it wouldn't be that hard for 100,000 people to read a comment on Daily Kos, think "Hey, that makes sense" and decide that's what they want to ask without it having been a plant at all. Of course.

We can cite facts all we want but perception is reality for minorities in America. Are there any white middle class males that would switch and be Black or Latino? I don't think so. It still isn't a level playing field, and won't be in my lifetime. We have however, made giant strides in my lifetime. While signs proclaiming WHITES ONLY and NO n*****S seem like ancient artifacts, there are many people alive who remember them vividly. And they would make a bigger impact on the people excluded than included. So while taking down the signs are a big step, they do not erase people's memories and attitudes.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 10:43 AM) Very interesting article in today's Trib about the insurgency, and why the violence saw a sudden downturn recently. There is good news and bad news. The good news is, these insurgent groups are starting to think like political factions instead of just warring tribes. Further, they are seriously considering aligning themselves more with the U.S. The bad news though, is that its a temporary freeze in action, not anything due to the gains the military claims were gotten due to the "surge". Also bad, the freeze is under the expectation that the US will start materially pulling out troops, AND let former and current insurgent groups be part of the government. So there is an opening there, but it seems that opening leads to another dead end. Did the trib have any credible sources or is this some theory from a reporter?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 9, 2007 -> 09:41 AM) Of course she's been asked the question three other times. It's because it's an issue, you stupid b****. God, I can't stand her. It's interesting that three people came up with the exact same phrasing. So the question was a plant. I wonder which of your opponents planted it, and what questions have your campaign planted at the other candidate's appearances? What makes you think she is stupid? I think she is far from stupid, in fact it seems she is rather intelligent and nimble of thought.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Oct 7, 2007 -> 09:17 AM) http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,299917,00.html What a freekin pansy this guy is! ( Not to mention a hypocrite ). He is trying to use a court, which he is already on record as saying he'd ignore, to try and stop the execution of a brutal rapist and double murderer. This because the s***bag's "rights were violated". Our so-called president doesn't want to do anything about illegal immigration except hand these criminals a free pass to live here in this country and now he doesn't even want to punish them when they commit crimes. Is this weak, hypocritical asshole out of office yet? We need a real conservative in the White House and not some shill for the Mexican government. Damn right, Conservatives f***ing over human rights Show them what a hard ass you are whoopie!!

QUOTE(NUKE @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 02:34 AM) You're grasping at straws here Rex. Seriously, any organization that is solely focused on one ideology for its scorn checked any hint of objectivity at the door. If it has Media in their name, they have a liberal bias. Too bad conservatives have never been able to own a media outlet or make any inroads. But play on liberal media It's working.

Wow, even if he does the right thing some still complain. LMAO

I would agree with y'all if unemployment rates were double digits, but they are not, and haven't been. Even with immigrants, y'all still found dishwashing jobs, so there seems to be more than enough to go around. Build a guest worker program and rely on legal workers.
