First let me say to any of Jack’s sensitive readers, I appologize for the tone of this post. But I feel this has got to be said!

Same tired arguments, Byrd, KKK, Durbin Traitor, what the fuck ever…

Bottom Line…. And I am going to keep this short to avoid any misunderstanding or interpretation.

I am Black, I am from Virginia, I care as much about one of our old farts running around in a sheet 40 years ago, as I do about one of YOURS fucking 16 year old black maids and then denying his daughter for 70 years or whatever. So piss off on the bullshit righteous indignation over an issue you really don’t give a rats ass about. Because to be honest the whole idea of conservative outrage over the racist past of a Democratic Senator is simply bullshit. (Oh my goodness, did I fart in the living room among civilized people… Forgive me!)

Conservatives in both parties have a long history or race baiting, appealing to racism and clandestine associations with Racist organizations.

The bullshit with some on the Right running around questioning people’s patriotism, calling up the ancient past to condemn people who challenge them, etc. Is nothing more than a smokescreen to divert attention from a deteriorating “Last Throes,” situation, and MASSIVE Problems worldwide that are not being addressed by the most incompetent Administration in recent history.

I love this bit of Disingenuous bullshit:

“And here’s a major difference: Karl Rove, while he may be a political genius and the architect of many of Bush’s successes, is only officially the Deputy Chief Of Staff — an appointed position. He’s a political operative at his core, not a leader. Durbin, however, is the #2 Democrat in the Senate. Rove may not exactly be a pawn and Durbin a Queen in the grand scope of things, but Durbin holds a far greater position of public trust — and can withstand a lot less heat than Rove.”

Eh Jay… Last time I checked, Durbin is a Senator from Il. He gets paid to represent his State. Rove gets paid by ALL of us, including us filthy, beatnik, Klan loving, peacenik Libruls…. Ya know? And I don’t want to pay him any more.
