How those is that proof that the media is conservative?
Call me crazy, but I don't think Strom Thrumund, or Trent Lott have used the word ni**er on a national news as recently as 2001.My bad. You should know your senators.
Senator Byrd actually used the phrase "white nigger." He wasn't referring to black people, he was actually criticizing white bigotry... he also said that race relations have continually improved during his lifetime, and they need to continue improving. Now, ok, I am slightly embarassed at Senator Byrd's poor choice of words. But he is an 83 yr old senator, who is openly honest and critical of his KKK past. You can find more than a few quotes were Senator Byrd cricizes the Klan, racism, and admits his own embarassment in his past actions. He has also willingly chosen a party, that has been responsible for the civil rights movement.Again, I'll remind you. When the democrats pushed for a civil rights movement, they did what GWB often claims he does, they made an important decision without considering opinion polls. The democratically inspired civil rights movement, was the beginning of the end of democrats being able to carry southern states. In fact, Strom Thurmond, was a former democrat until Johnson pushed for civil rights, the democracts at that time pushed a lot of racists out of their party, and guess what, all those former racists democrats, eventually became republicans. But I never said, Bush is racist, or all republicans are racist. I said, the republican party enjoys the support of racist voters. Clearly they do. This is why the republicans can so easily carry the south. In case you didn't read it the first time, Strom Thurmond, left the democratic party and ran for president on a platform stating:"We oppose and condem the Democratic Convention in sponsoring a civil rights program calling for the elimination of segregation." He carried four states, and recently Trent Lott, an individual, your party chose as its majority party leader, actually said:"I want to say this about my state: When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either,"A candidate you ran this past election, ran on a platform stating there are 'favored races' and the reason detriot is a "looks worse than hiroshima", is because it is dominanted by "less favored racists" i.e. blacks. That's not only racist, it is very similiar to the nazism. But republicans voted for him during the primaries, and chose him as their candidate. and just last week, republican voters in alabama, voted to keep segregation part of their state constitution. When I said the republican party recieves a lot of racist support you responded "LOL! I'd really like to see you try and back that up with facts." Not only have I presented you with plenty of 'facts', but your making it seem as if ur second republican myth may be true also. But then again, maybe its not that republicans are entirely illiterate, they just can't read anything that disagrees with their idealistic view of their party.
