It's okay. Doesn't bother me.

Bob, LucySam and now EDboy, remind me a lot of the bullies in the school yard. Name calling, trying to intimidate, etc in an effort to make themselves look big by attempting to hurt others or make them look small.

I work and play with a lot of liberals and we have some spirited discussions about many of the subjects bantered about on this forum. None of them use name calling or hateful comments to try to make their points or put down conservatives.

Fortunately, most of us have grown up and left the school yard.

Apparently, these three have not.

That's great to hear. That's how progress will be made.

Have you ever read a post and not looked at who wrote it and guessed if it was a "liberal" poster or "conservative" poster. VERY RARE to find an exception - a poster finding a new way of looking at something - among most.

After reading through this thread it is obvious that some do not want to address the point so they make wild accusations and divert attention.
Jimmy Carter is no racist. He stood tall in Georgia against the old guard segregationists like Maddox. By most accounts he was a good governor. I supported him for President in 1976 because of his record as governor. He is the only Democrat to date I have ever supported for President and as I was too young to vote in 1976, I have never voted for one.
He was a terrible President, in over his head. He left 20% interest rates, 14% inflation and hostages in Iran. Reagan fixed the problems at a high cost-runaway deficits.
I believe the point Fisher was trying to make is that had a Conservative with the same impeccable record as Mr. Carter made the same reference-calling a Black man a "black boy" that conservative would have been castigated by the media regardless of the years of service or the clean record. I think Fisher has a valid point.
Good people can make slips and mistakes. Cater made one and got a pass as he deserved. Hopefully we can come to a place one day where a good man who is a conservative can get the same treatment.

Carter used the term "black boy" in the correct context so his statement was not a slip or mistake making the example a poor one. Find an example of a conservative with the same impeccable record making a similar statement being castigated by the media and Fisher's point will be made.

respect is earned, especially when you post garbage masquerading as serious discussion. your schoolyard analogy is equally namecalling. call a knucklehead a knucklehead, ok knucklehead? you are not a conservative, just a southern democrat turned repub after the civil rights bill was passed. now go troll the real estate threads with your backwater negativity. please insert laughing emoticons .

you people are still defending the anti semite, hamas jimmy. the original point in this thread is accurate regardless the context. case and point, vp biden and his statement about obama being the first clean, articulate black man. the left and the media didn't give a d@mn. had wilson called obama the same he would have been hung by the left and demanded to leave the planet. realize the hypocrisy or find a sand box to shove your heads back in

You people?--sounds kinda of like "that ONE."....

Any-who (thats mid west speak, btw)I kind of do think Joe Wilson is a jerk, but as far as that haughty rag tag group of Senators and Congressman assembled there during president Obama's, who new exactly WHICH politician Wilson was talking to when he yelled out "You Lie!" I figure the whole lot of them's bums twitched just a bit when that got shouted out.

I am just saying...

Can you say Joe Wilson? Even Obama gave him a pass, but the rest of the left won't let it go. Hence, the purpose of the thread.

Also, can you say TRENT LOTT--??? Once again, given a pass by several big name libs but not by the media or many, many other prominent politicians and activists.

Just two easy examples.
