Trent Lott: Clean, light-skinned, articulate non-Negro dialect and carried Clinton’s impeachment coffee

Would Lott be Harry Reid’s perfect Democratic Party presidential nominee?

Another in our ongoing “Democrats are vile” series in hopes that the American people will finally get it despite the cover given them by the Drive-By Media. The only hope is that Republican leaders stop being brain-dead nice to their dis-honorable Jack Ass Party colleagues with beltway moral equivalence and poor reading comprehension.

In other words, Elephant party members: Never forget!

First of all, Majority Leader Reid’s thanks to God that Barack Obama is not a dark-skinned Negro with a Southern accent is not only about Harry Reid. It is also about the party that chooses to make him their leader despite his slander of dark-skinned Clarence Thomas several years ago as being not intellectually up to the job of Supreme Court justice.

It is about a party that nominated a Vice-President Joe Biden that thanked God that Obama was “clean and articulate.”

And it is about a party that nominated a President that viewed his white grandmother as typical of her race in being a racist; sat in the pews of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Hate white America Church for 20 years; assumed a Cambridge police officer was racist without any evidence; and dropped election intimidation charges against New Black Panther thugs.

In the final analysis, after 40+ years of evidence, it is a Democratic Party obsessed with skin color as a weapon against conservatives that oppose race-based policies, and a party that uses race to create victim-dependent voters based on imagined bogeymen.

Trent Lott was a victim of the Democratic Party-Drive-By media fake racism allegation machine. His comments at a birthday party for the dying Strom Thurmond were not racist. The comment that America wouldn’t have had as many problems over the years had Thurmond been elected were not meant to suggest any endorsement of 50 year old segregationist policies. They were meant to make an old, dying man feel better. Trent Lott’s life since the 50′s, as testified to by black folks in Mississippi make that clear. What was disgraceful was the cowardly surrender of President George W. Bush and the GOP leadership to the Drive-By media PC police.

Harry Reid has no such cover given his documented slander of Thomas, but also as judged by the actual meaning of the words he used about Obama and the defense of Virginia’s Tim Kaine.

Kaine is all over Sunday Morning Shows with the line that Reid was “praising Obama.” Yes, he was. The praise was that Obama was a better candidate because he wasn’t too black and could turn a fake Southern aka Negro (black) dialect on and off.

Obama was praised for his “whiteness” and for being able to “act black” when necessary.

This reminds me of the praise then President Bill Clinton received from the media and many Democrats during impeachment, for being able to lie so well.

Joe Biden praised Bill Clinton as such and apparently has examined Obama’s personal hygiene closely and found him superior to Revs. Jackson and Sharpton.

Democrats are vile racist liars

See also James Carville on terror smut.

Add the above to Bill Clinton’s outing of closeted GOP gays and documented by George Stephanopoulos treatment of White House employees and it becomes clear that the former President’s comment to Ted Kennedy during the Hillary-Obama primary battle about coffee-carrying Obama, that the Democrats also have utter contempt not only for blacks, but also for working people.

This also reminds me of many liberals in the press and Democratic Party who several years ago characterized as racist some drawings of black folks that they assumed were caricatures of blacks with exaggerated lips and other features. It turned out that the drawings were accurate depictions of real black folks. I think their reactions to those drawings, much like their assumptions that conservatives are racist because we don’t support their race-based, white-guilt infused, big government power grabs, are actually projections of their own racism.

Based upon his picture above, we assume Atlanta’s mayor, Kasim Reed (pictured), would not be acceptable to Harry Reid.

After all, look at Bill Clinton’s cabinet and the average Drive-By media news room. The whiteness abounds.

But Trent Lott and those Republicans like him, while not being racist like Harry Reid and his Democratic Party, are also part of the problem in keeping the America people ignorant of the rot that is the Democratic Party.

Bill Clinton was impeached by the House but when the matter moved to the Senate, then GOP Majority Leader Lott kept the most damning evidence against Clinton under lock and seal, where it remains to this day. No, it wasn’t just about sex (see also perjury and obstruction of justice), but it could have been more about missile technology to China and campaign contributions.

But the beltway protected its own.

Trent Lott should not have been forced to resign.

But Harry Reid should. The problem is that the Pelosis and Obamas that would have to force him out are just as vile as he is.

Finally, remember when Revs. Jackson and Sharpton and some in the black liberal media suggested early in the campaign that Obama might not be “black enough”?

I do, and was reminded of this recently when the AJC’s Cynthia Tucker defended Alabama Congressman and candidate for Governor, Artur Davis. Davis was the only member of the Black Caucus to vote against ObamaCare and was attacked by old line black civil rights leaders as not “authentically black” due to that vote.

Tucker rightly defended Davis’s blackness and diversity of thought in the black community in a recent column. But she ruined the message when she characterized white conservatives as racist due to disagreements on policy positions.

Dems are so vile that even when they get something right, they get it wrong.

    RACISM and they have NEVER left their origins behind. WE are to believe that an old white guy like Reid is NOT RACIST because what he said as Gov Kaine said on FOX today was a NICE RACIST comment?

    Democrats the party of WALL STREET who have USED middle class Americans tax dollars to BAILOUT their Wall Street buddies and their union buddies to the tune of TRILLIONS while those Wall Street buddies are continuing to make BILLIONS on their stocks while 10%+ of our fellow Americans are struggling to get work and make a mortgage payment in which the Democrats Wall Street buddies are YANKING out their houses from under them.

    If the GOP cannot hang this around the necks of Democrats in the next elections they are simply STUPID!

    have for people who hold lesser offices or no office at all. I saw and felt it years ago on a Senate staff and I really saw and felt it when I worked for State government; there is a rigid caste system that separates officeholders by rank and places them above staff and appointees, all of whom consider themselves above people who don’t hold elected or appointed office.

    I hope Rush, Hannity, Beck, etc. keep this issue out front as it should not be let go of – even if Reid will not be forced to resign his position – it would help by continuing to show the public the real face of the Democrats.

    Here. The hypocrisy of the left just gets more blatant with each passing day. But I see no backlash against Reid from those who blasted Lott or even George Allen, who used a, to me anyway at the time, rather obscure term. Reid can apologize and it’s all good. Lott and Allen can apologize but must still be destroyed, all by the same people who forgive Reid.

    Hypocrites all.

  • Maggie_in_Indiana

    do those blacks who accepted Reids apology understand that they are acknowledging also that the left is finally saying what they have thought for years and years out loud? And if they do will it make a difference in their party choice?

    I don’t think so,but at least it will be in the back of their minds.

    the message and the dialogue, we lose. First, I call the Dems Leftists, as they demonstrate having no standards for themselves or conscience on these issues. It means nothing to them, unless it is a cudgel to use over OUR heads, which has already been pointed out. The Left has the MSM and they control the story. Imagine if you will, a headline, that said “Senate leader Reid insults President”-it is all in how the words are twisted and printed. The MSM complicity in the takeover of our country, brings an almost unbearable price, as we are all finding out.

    No matter our hue and cry, the Leftists Dems believe they are the righteous purveyors of all that cures society’s ills; and even as they decry racism, they create it.

    And you hit it on the head, Blacks are nothing more than a commodity for the race baiting poverty pimps in the Democratic party. They are convinced that the only way for someone Black to win is to be an acceptable level of light skinned, Northern Black who doesn’t sound like an ignorant Southerner. Hence their rejection and vile racist diatribe thrown at Georgia born dark skinned Clarence Thomas, the most intelligent holder of public office today. At least we know this is the rule, not the exception.

    to me, a freckle-faced, pink-skinned descendant of Black Irish grandparents. (That makes me a “white” person.)

    What Harry Reid said reflects more about how he views me and my family than about how he views Barack Obama. What he said was, “Even white racists like you will accept Barack Obama because he is just fair enough and sounds enough like you for bigots like you to accept him.”

    The arrogance of those who presume that I have some preference with regard to the race of elected officials is remarkable. The truth is I don’t give a damn, Mr. Reid. What a condescending, closed-minded prig you are.

  • proudmarinemom

    “comments”

  • ZootSuit

    Trent Lott’s comments regarding StromThurmond were stupid. They may not have been meant as racist — and for the record, I personally do not think Lott meant to be racially offensive by them — but his comments were stupid and yes, I personally did take offense. As did many Blacks (including a couple of Republicans) and Whites (again, including a few Republicans) I know from South Carolina.

    (And as a quick aside to perhaps head off controversy about Strom Thurmond’s relationship with Blacks vis-a-vis his daughter, a family member is a personal friend of Essie Mae Washington and her daughter. Trust me, I am quite familiar with the details: probably more so than most.)

    Sorry for being picayune but I think this is endemic of the problems with Republicans and conservatives these days. Too often — perhaps not always but still far too often — conservative arguments degrade into nothing more than “… but what the liberals and Democrats do is worse!”

    In our quest to justly condemn the hypocrisy and racism of the current Democrats, let’s not fall into the trap of excusing the stupidity and ignorance of past Republicans.

  • merryj1

    …being offended by Trent Lott’s remarks about Thurmond’s 1948 presidential challenge to Harry Truman? As you said, Lott’s remarks were not racist, nor about race; Thurmond, a then-Democrat, had run against Truman, a Democrat AND a member of the KKK (probably a former-member by 1948).

    There’s little doubt that Thurmond was a segregationist, but that wasn’t likely an issue in his 1948 run, it was more about State’s Rights (10th Amendment issues). Segregation didn’t seem to be really challenged until Eisenhower’s order regarding public school desegregation in the 1950′s.

  • ZootSuit

    It simply comes down to the intent that you ascribe to Lott’s words. I found Lott’s comments to be offensive because they were stupid and (although I hate using the phrase, here I think it is accurate) “racially insensitive.” There are many people who were alive and fighting against the segregationist policies Strom Thurmond; you’re fooling yourself if they would not take some offense at what Trent Lott said.

    Moreover, although I personally do not think Lott intended anything racist by his comments — like gamecock, I think he meant his comments as simply kind words to an old colleague — but many people, both Black and White, liberal and conservative, Republican and Democrat, did take offense at his words as racist. If Trent Lott had said the exact same thing as he did say, you can argue that Lott was making a racist statement that he preferred a world of de jure segregation.

    And that is the similarity with Harry Reid’s comments: and why I think Reid should resign (or be forced out) just like Lott was. Democrats are making the argument that Reid’s intent was not racist and therefore he should not be condemned (and/or loss his leadership position). My argument is that if the Democrats are going to condemn someone (e.g. Trent Lott) whose comments are stupid and “racially insensitive” then they should comdemn someone else whose comments are stupid and “racially insensitive” (e.g. Harry Reid) or they are hypocrites. Which, for the record, I think they are.

    But note that I consider both comments to be stupid and “racially insensitive.” Where I disagreed with gamecock is in that he seemed to be making the argument that Trent Lotts comments were not stupid and “racially insensitive”; or at least not as stupid and “racially insensitive” as Harry Reid’s. Again, my argument is, if you condemn one then condemn both. And if you are going to try to excuse one, then don’t take issue with the other side excusing the other.

    And as for Strom Thurmond, racial segregation was the issue; “state’s rights” was just a convenient vehicle to promulgate and promote his then racist views. Simply look at his history and comments at the time. The States’ Rights Democratic Party was explcitly formed in opposition to the anti-lynching and anti-segregation planks endorsed by the Democratic Party in 1948. I will even agree that there were far worse White racist and pro-segregationists at the time but that does not excuse Strom Thurmond nor explain away his 1948 Presidential run on the “Dixiecrat” ticket as simply or even primarily about States’ Rights.

  • Achance

    to maintain segregation. And if anybody tries to put a glossier finish on that, they don’t know what they are talking about. Lot said the sort of thing that lots of Southern whites will say to “the boys” when they think nobody’s looking and listening. Anybody in The South older than their mid-Fifties or so was raised in a World in which segregation was the natural order of things. There were home-grown White opponents of segregation but they were few, very few – and lonely. People adapted, people changed there behavior, some may even have changed the beliefs they grew up on. But you’re not going to change two hundred years of White Supremacy in one or two generations other than changing its legal and superficial face.

    Clinton’s remark about the coffee. It was condescending as Hell, but I don’t think his condescension was based on race, just an established figure’s condescension towards someone he considered an upstart. Can’t say I’ve never exhibited that sort of condescension either.

    Thats the difference, I think, folks. When one of our guys does anything that even remotely puts them in the line of fire, there side fires. I havent seen a single commercial from GOP or conservatives smacking Racist Reid. Granted, I live in Canada, but I get a lot of American channels and havent seen one. Id love to be flat out wrong on this.

    People are people, and they respond to noise. If we dont make noise, people wont hear, they have lives to live and kids and loved ones.

    Ive never made a video, but I will give it a try. Hopefully others will too, and not just amateurs, but professionals too. Americans are the most generous people on this planet, and they despise racism. With enough noise, we can tarnish the party of slavery.

    That it is a compliment to Obama that he is light-skinned and has no dialect he can’t turn on and off

    For if it is a compliment, then it is an insult to darker skinned people and/or those with dialects.

    On dialects, this includes the presumption that those with dialects are not as smart.

    Moreover, another vile, false assumption is that most whites, conservatives and republicans are racist is that they would judge a candidate based on such matters.

    This is all bunk and it is the projections of racist democrats.

    Here’s a guy born and raised in Searchlight,NV. A town that I can think doesn’t have many or any Blacks living there. It was never right for him to say what he said and if it was earlier on when we didn’t see a black person, he might have been able to plead ignorance. Too bad for him, it wasn’t earlier on. I’m guessing if you become a part of the clique formally known as the Democratic party, you can get away with almost anything. For him, it seems that he’ll never have his macaca. I post more when I can think more on the situation.
