I don't know if this has had it's own post yet but I though I'd throw it out again anyway. Anyone have any more information on this?

1. Read it. He is a racist. I hope this blows up on him TODAY.

[ShortnFiery]

2. Yes, you know that those of us on The Net will have to MAKE it happen? n/t

[Benhurst]

3. A racist working for Fox News? I'm shocked. Shocked. NT

as usual

5. Someone posted a thread about that yesterday.

Here's the direct link to the article:

http://www.martinlutherking.org/kwanzaa.html

What is unclear is whether Tony Snow wrote the article for that website. My guess is that he did not. I'd guess that he wrote the article as a columnist for the Detroit News, and then martinlutherking.org posted it on their site without his permission. I tried to find it on the Detroit News website, but I could not.

8. It was picked up by hundreds of religious and conservative sites

Still not sure where it originated though.

16. I questioned the poster about this

I asked if Snow really did write the article for Stormfront.

I'd suspect not as well.

Someone in the media has to be extra-careful about their direct associations.

22. Thanks Skinner......

I wasn't sure if anyone had posted anything about this or not. I doubt Snow wrote the article for Storm-Front specifically but he didn't seem to mind that it was being used by hate groups across the land. That is to say he didn't make anyone remove it from their hate site, which I certainly would have done. But then I wouldn't have written tripe like that in the first place. ;) Bottom line, Snow's ideology is embraced by uber Reich-Wing hate groups and he doesn't seem to mind the attention, he actually encourages it. And THIS is the man that Bush chose to be his spokesman. :eyes: Another monumental F-UP by the "Great Decider".

6. The gift that keeps on giving....Thanks Tony&W

[Mr.Green93]

7. This is a serious charge

He should be asked about it at his first briefing and thereafter.

9. What's so racist about this?

It's not hard to imagine black people having the same opinion...

Notice the MLKwebsite reference...perhaps this an a popular opinon among blacks...

In fact, I think its RACIST to assume that this is a racist piece...

[DrDebug]

12. It's the wrong MLK website

The nazis have the .org and use it to spill their hatred for Martin Luther King. The site is tied to stormfront

[hexola]

13. So what...?

Copy > Paste...anyone can do it...Its not like Snow sold the story to those outlets.

The context of those sites makes the piece sound worse than it is...

[skooooo]

15. yeah maybe except there is a bit of a pattern here...

[gratuitous]

18. Sure, Nazis would copy and paste it to show their open-mindedness

Care to buy the Brooklyn Bridge? I got the deed ri-i-i-ight here.

[hexola]

20. Nazis would cite it because...

It is a piece against Kwanza/Multiculturalism...plain and simple.

[gratuitous]

21. Uh huh

Which, since it's against multiculturalism and ethnic sensitivity, shows that Mr. Snow is . . . ?

And we're back to the original point, which is that Tony Snow may be an appropriate spokesman for this corrupt administration, but is hardly representative of the majority of American sensibilities on race and race relations.

[hexola]

23. You're reaching...

being "against multiculturalism and ethnic sensitivity" is a far, far cry from racism and white supremacy...(from the title of the original post)

I think its "ethinicaly insensitive" of DU'ers to suggest that all black people give a damn about Kwanza...ya know - watermelon, tap dancing, and Kwanza...seems sort of racist to me...

11. Big Suprise

It's interesting how, more and more each day, the whole trajectory of this society becomes more fascistic and those who are leading us on this trajectory prove themselves to be more fascistic. Look at the Minutemen vigilante militias on the U.S.-Mexican border; they are getting ideological and financial support from some of the highest people in power today, and groups like the Minutemen and the American Resistance frequently recruit from Neo-Nazi organizations like the National Alliance and the Ku Klux Klan.

Groups like the Minutemen are filled with Neo-Nazis, and they are armed with the intention to kill unarmed immigrants, but nothing is being done to stop them by the powers-that-be, and in some cases, they are being supported by people connected with the Bush Administration!

It's horrifying... and it's a wake up call. This whole direction of society needs to stop; we need to drive out the Bush Regime and we need to envision a new society where stuff like this won't happen. The time is now to get out there, into the streets, and say NO to Bush and his whole ruling clique!

14. They Just Gave Up The Sheets

The KKK is the Bush Family Evil Empire.

17. The original post, by Intoxination, is gone...

...seems it's been removed from the Intoxination site.

19. Aren't they all?

I'm convinced every registered republican either has ties to a white supremacist group, or is allied with them in spirit.

[hwmnbn]

24. I agree 100%, and I've even debated/confronted .......

my freeper relatives. At the core of all the repug arguments is their basic premise:

"Fuck everyone else but me"

Regardless of the issue, I can strip away all the rhetoric and make them admit their policies always lead directly to that premise. They cannot escape the logic. They've stopped debating me. :rofl:
