I guess his supersmart underlings haven't told him how civil rights really was passed. :tinfoilhat:bama seems more and more superficial by the day, truly an empty suit.

1. This Reagan thing is one of the biggest non-issues ever to earn 1000 threads on du.
Thanks for your contribution.
Keep up the good work.

3. Reagan was just as evil as Bush/Cheney and in fact set the stage

Hillary praised Johnson for realizing MLK's dream and has been called racist for it. How can :tinfoilhat:bama praise the evil Ronald Reagan and expect Dems not to :puke:

4. You mean Everett Dirksen. You could at least get the spelling right in your diatribes.
You know, I don't have anything against you personally, but I think I'll put you on ignore anyway because your constant stream of anti-Obama spewing ins getting boring as it descends toward gibberish.

Do you REALLY think you're going to get even ONE person to change their mind about Obama with these idiotic rants?

You don't like Obama? Don't fucking vote for him.

8. No they're e-mailing me and saying I'm saying what they think and suspect
:tinfoilhat:bama is threat to us winning the next election at the very least. BO allows the Republicans and their media allies to reframe the election around race instead Republican treachery, incompetence, corruption and crimes against humanity. Watch John Stewart tonite showing the video of what Hillary actually said about MLK and LBJ? Watch CNN framing the election "Electing a black President"?

12. That kind of anger and hatred might be helped by some therapy. Just a friendly suggestion.
Allowing an obsession to consume you is not, generally, a healthy thing.

6. Charlie Halleck was more of a supporter of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than the Bard of Pekin.
I was an admirer of ol' Ev in those days. He was someone I could disagree with and continue to respect.

11. Hey, maybe obama can come down to nesoba county, Ms
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 01:16 AM by BenDavid
and speak before the crowd as his friend reagan did and obama can stand there and tell the crowd, he too believes in states rights, and maybe someone standing in the audience with a hillary for president poster will say.....hey obama, you realize that down the road a bit is where three civil rights workers were killed for trying to help blacks get registered to vote aND YOU UP THERE TELLING EVERYONE JusT HOW INPSIRATIONAL REAGAN WAS......and you thought he inspired the country better then bill clinton did.....and then maybe say Obama what I and you should care about is that Ronald Reagan, the patron saint of the Conservative Movement, made a career out of deliberately appealing to the racist vote. it brought him to power and it was a constant tool throughout his career. Ronald Reagan acted in public as a racist acts. He deliberately set out to appeal to racists and continue the odious Southern Strategy. In doing so, he helped to mainstream racism in the GOP and thus the country.

Whereas regan inspired the racists and bigots and bill clinton was inspirational in moving the country as a whole forward to the 21st century and helped folks, no matter what race they were. So if you say you wanna do what reagan did then you have a serious character flaw....
