Despite disagreeing with the subject matter and the intention (as well as disliking the Party), I would defend their right to produce and play the song to as great an extent as possible. Free speech is more important than a single incident.

 

Free speech is a double edged sword. They can absolutely play that song, they can play it as loud as they want, where ever they want. But alternatively everyone has the freedom of speech to call them racist assholes and not vote for them. Freedom of speech doesn't mean free from criticism from said speech.

Yes. Absolutely.

I'm not offended in the least, but the word racism and Republican go in the same sentence way too often for the Republicans to just shrug this off like it is nothing. They shouldn't get themselves in situations like this in the first place.

Its like Michael Jackson getting caught with another kid, or OJ having another woman he is dating get murdered. Even if you did absolutely nothing wrong, you sure as hell look guilty.

@Kasz: Oh, you are absolutely right. Its all about the old guard wanting to keep their power within the party. But that is worthless if your party is going to keep losing election after election because you are still sitting around fantasizing about Ronald Reagan and America being a "Center-Right" nation.


If Republicans want to live in dreamland, they are going to have a rude awakening when Democrats gain even more seats in the House and the Senate.

Eh, i still think it's better then selling out your ideals to get votes.

I'd rather die by my ideals then be part of a winning side i didn't agree with.  I once wanted to be a politican... until I realized that my stances were so far from what the two major parties believed in i'd never get a fair shot in either.

Sure i could go along and run as a democrat... and probably could of won some stuff too.  Early city consoleship would of been easy since the city votes for whoever the tnion votes for and i've got an in with the local union.  Building up from there would of worked pretty well.

But i'd rather not give up my ideas about fiscal conservatism and the like etc.

I hate the Neo-cons but i can actually respect the "going down fighting" mentality.

Since when was negro an offensive word? (it might be uncomfortable and stuff... but not racial)
Isn't it also spanish for "black"?

 

If you call a black person a nigger or negro it implies that they are still your slave. Its just unnecessary to call someone that anyway...

To be fair... they do call black people Negros some parts of  South America... either that or all the people i know from south america are racists.

I mean Negro actually does mean black in Spanish.

Which is just what i call black people.  Black.  I mean African American is stupid... Dave Matthews is more an African American then most black people.

I mean what if the guy is british or something?  Or from Haiti... or Brazil.

Well actually i just call people by their name... and only refrence them by race when i can't think of another descriptor when refrencing them to someone else.

The word "negro" is not racial? Do you not get dictionary.com in Tennessee?

 

Oh wow, I'm suprised a south-hating gay liberal says i'm stupid. Bravo.

Indeed.

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said.

All I'm saying is that some black people can be a way too damn sensitive.

They call white people crackers, honkeys, blahblahblah.
And they HAVE to be called Black, or it's racist.
Why should i have to pay for my ancestors sins?
It's not even that... I guess it's just that white people are looked down upon sometimes.

Did you copy and paste that off Rush Limbaugh's website?

Everyone is looked down upon all the time.  Its nothing new.  That doesn't make it right.

What if Obama was sending out CD's with a songs like, "Glad to see those Crackers are Gone" or "Whitey Ain't Righty."  I would find it childish and offensive.  People in  power should be held to a higher standard, and these members of the RNC are representing their ENTIRE party.  Republicans should be more offended about this than anyone, that is, unless they don't mind maintaining their status as the racist party (which sometimes I think they do).

Republicans are digging their own grave, and the Republican Party seems more than happy to keep on digging.

No. Rush is an idiot.
and It's no secret the republican party stinks right now... Although if they get their act together after George bush singe handedly destroyed the party. You know, make it about the people again, not politics.
And besides, barrack the magic negro doesn't sound nearly as bad as I'm glad those crackers are gone. I mean, it's obviously a joke!(albeit a bad one) The latter is just plain offensive.

Eh, Bush was just following the Regan Neo-con Template.

That's the thing.  The Neo-cons are only good when they have a strong seemingly impossible to defeat goliath to lobby against to give reason for their economic policies.

Hence the agressive war on terror now that they don't have communism to rally against.

 

A LOT of the stuff Reagan did he only got away with because people were afraid of nuclear attack from russia.



@strategyking92

I never said you were stupid. Just misguided and misinformed.
