Why do Republicans make such a big deal of opposition to Rice

[Zuni]

and they complain Democrats overplay the race card! This is absurd.

Look at these Freepers: everything from the Democrat 'plantation' to the fact that Byrd was in the KKK like 60 yrs ago.
They seem to forget the hardcore racists in their own party who were active much more recently, like Trent Lott for example.

1. Here is some real stupidity from Doug From Upland

this guy is a real ass:

This is his song:

fairly long intro)


Condi is accomplished...that's what really scares them
Off of the plantation...of the DemocRATS
Race-bait DemocRATS
Those DemocRATS
Bitter DemocRATS


They don't know what they're going to do
Like the Whigs they are fading away
They spend all their time lying to you
Their whole party is in disarray
They don't know what they're gonna do


They don't know what they're going to do
Everything has blown up their face
They cannot make a statement that's true
On the Senate floor, what a disgrace
They don't know what they're gonna do


They don't know what they're gonna do
Teddy looked like he's really drunk
He's a man who seldom has a clue
Out of his mouth came foolish bunk
They don't know what they're gonna do
They don't know what they're gonna do


When the hearing started, Boxer took the lead in a sofa-looking coat
Then she stepped aside so that we could hear from a white haired racist goat


Man in the sheet...man in the sheet
For the KKK, Byrd led the way...now this charade's complete
See the man in the sheet...man in the sheet
Now the charade's complete...man in the sheet


It was quite ironic that this anti-black would be getting in his licks
Well, my friends, meet these vile scum DemocRATS...it's a party that is sick


Man in the sheet...man in the sheet
For the KKK, Byrd led the way...now this charade's complete
See the man in the sheet...man in the sheet


He's the man in the sheet...man in the sheet
Charade's complete...man in the sheet


As minorites will finally see what's up, the RATS can never win
We will look at them and with a friendly voice ask, 'Well, where have you guys been?"

Man in the sheet...man in the sheet
For the KKK, Byrd led the way...now this charade's complete
See the man in the sheet...man in the sheet
Charade's complete...man in the sheet

4. These people are really delusional

If anyone watched any of the confirmation hearings, especially for Gonzales, you would know how eloquent Boxer, Kennedy, Biden, Durbin and the other Dems were in their statements and questions. There were no unreasonable demands made of Gonzales or Rice; simply tell the truth. Both made conflicting statements, would not clarify, would not provide information, would not retract lies or admit they had made mistakes, both were extremely evasive-choosing instead to repeat Rovian talking points. Gonzales 'couldn't remember' much of anything he didn't want to remember. NONE of the Republicans defended (nor could they defend) the two candidates. The Repub statements re: Gonzales were brief (following a 'request' from the Repub chair, who was obsessing over time limits and wasted much time doing same, and which was meant to justify short responses) and included such banalities as "he came from a family of 10", "he didn't write that memo", "he filled out LOTS of paperwork", "he doesn't approve of 'torture'", "you're all just being SO partisan", "you just hate him 'cause he's Hispanic". Of course, the latter statement is designed to 'prove' to the world that it's Republitards that do the most for minorities. The Dems on the committee in the case of Gonzales were all united in their approval of the man as a person, yet concerned about his lack of candor and his evasiveness.

and Boxer kicked ass!

2. playing...

the race card to the hilt. Pay no mine--bluster, bluster, bluster! All her lies and contradictions got thrown back in her face and on live TV and we thank Barbara Boxer, Byrd et al. for finally doing so.

3. To avoid the discussion of the fact that

the Republican women and minorities are, for the most part, appointed and not elected. We are debating them on policy issues not race.

6. If Barack and Hillary run in '08, you'll see the repukes playing

with a 52-race-and-gender-card deck!

7. Since the pugs control all branches of government and should REALLY be

held responsible for what happens in this country, they want to deflect any responsbility they have onto the Democrats. They have spent a good part of the last 40 years blaming all of society's ills on the Dems, now when they control all branches of government and many state governments, they should not get by with using Dems as their boogeyman but since there is no real opposition party and no media to call them on it, they continue with what has been a successful strategy of BLAME THE DEMS.
