Why are the sins of the Democratic party being aired out here? I'll throw in Richard Nixon if it helps!
Sistermadly-I have to say you have made some excellent points.
It's too far back, but was it you that pointed out the fact that the discussion in the media was now questioning why some were acting like it was only blacks who should be offended when we ALL should be incensed? I too heard this discussion. You were also right when you said it was FIRST noticed by the conservatives.
On FOX ( No Arya, I still haven't mended my wicked ways LOL) they did point out something about this fact. Why was it that no one cared about the comment initially? Could it possibly be that at first glance it was just taken for what it was-a birthday toast albeit a poor one? Why DIDN'T the liberals SEE it first? Sure, people can say the conservatives wanted to beat them to the punch... Fox also said this comment will probably be the "slogan" in the next election as the Democrats try to paint the entire Republican Party with that now infamous comment. So, in light of THAT, perhaps he should step down. I just won't judge what was in his heart, because I really believe he was paying homage to a 100 year old statesman, NOT implying "The South will/should rise again".
