Can you believe that there are STILL White Supremacists in our Govt?

[mopaul]

bill frist, tony perkins, trent lott, and many others in our government are avowed white supremacists. trent lott's uncle arnie is head of the CCC, council on christian conservatism, which is really the kkk with a new title.

tony perkins who gave a big scary speech to his all white followers last sunday night, bought a mailing list from david duke, to contact his voting base, frightened southern republican whites. this group who is attacking liberals saying we are agains people of faith, they go to the same churches we do, but they are WHITE RACISTS.

their agenda is a WHITE RACIST agenda. their leaders are white supremacists. some are actually fully functional klan members.
and when they say they feel threatened by liberals who are against people of faith, they mean WHITE PEOPLE.

1. not..

.. surprised.

[sweetheart]

2. can you believe the democratic party has not denounced racist policy?

like gerrymandering, the drugs laws, and the overwhelming tendency of
the judicial system to incarcerate and execute blacks?

One part IS racist in all but name.. and the other is afraid to
denounce all the subtle racism for fear of losing votes.

4. what a situation

one of hundreds of stalemates that stop progress.

7. That's the biggest problem right there

Not that we have a bunch of racists on the Rep. side, that's kind a no shit Sherlock moment, but that the Democrats do not stand up more forcefully and denounce racism in it's many new and varied forms.

15. gerrymandering

The party will never denounce gerrymandering. If we can win state elections before the census, it would be Democratic legislatures which redraw the political boundaries in their respective states. You can bet that they will engineer districts in their political favor.

3. I'm curious.........

about where you copied and pasted this from? Because

<they go to the same churches we do, but they are WHITE RACISTS.>

I was under the impression you do not attend church

<their leaders are white supremacists. some are actually fully functional klan members.>

Do they have evidence, or are they just making shit up based on a feeling? If they have evidence, why are they not all over the place with it? That would be exactly what we need.

6. here's the article:

5. Well there is your talking point rebuttal, then

When anyone on the right brings up the "you commie secular asshole who hates us people of faith" line, you just tell 'm you hate all those disgraceful ungodly klansmen in "their" movement. No one wants to admit that they are a racist pig, it's like advertising that they have herpes or something!

If they deny it, hit 'em with the connection, and claim that they knew all along, but they just ignored it, and the teachings of JEEEEESUS, because they were proud and wanted power over salVAAAAAATIon. They need to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and God the things that are God's. And last time I checked, God did not have a desk on the Senate Floor, nor does she WANT one. Then pull out a race card, roll it up, and poke the bastards in the eye with it!

I don't go for playing the race card easily, but this is totally justified.

8. Its disturbing to know that de-nazification never took place.

And to know that there are still pro-nazis and racists within the government, including the lovely Doctor Frist and Mr. Holt.

I'm just glad that we are now aware of it, those of us who need to be and actually now have a say in the matter.

9. In short: Yup. Freaks me out every day. n/t

10. race has been an issue since the dawn of man...

i read that somewhere in my life, but i don't know the original writer.

[BiggJawn]

11. "STILL"? I'm surprised there's not MORE...

Putting the BFEE in power was like ringing the dinner bell for these bigots.

12. Their fear of disclosing the mail list purchase

Proves this is a issue they can be beaten with.

Good work!

13. Keep in mind

that this picture wasn't taken that long ago. A few of these fellows are still in Congress and have not repented.

16. Still in Congress

Exactly which Republican Legislaters in the current Congress were members of the KKK?

14. Why is this a shock? The ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) has been

presented to Congress since since 1923 and as of March 12, 2005, is still not ratified.

Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.

Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.

Perhaps people fail to realize that sexism is still as prevelant as racism.... after all these years. Racism is still shocking, but it doesn't shock me.
