Infanticide v Racism

So I just listened to a nearly 45 minute press conference from the Virginia governor in response to racist photos on his med school yearbook page. The Democrat party calls for his resignation over these alleged examples of racism have been incessant and deafening. However, only 24 hours earlier the same governor was defending new legislation legalizing abortion as late as the time of birth. Democrat party outrage???

Crickets

Is it just me? Or does anyone else see this as another example of a false moral equivalence for the purpose of exploiting a political agenda??

Not a D... an "R"

When the story was covered on Anderson Cooper’s show on CNN Friday night, the governor’s name was labeled with the letter ‘R’ – which stands for ‘Republican’.

My best guess is the Dems themselves released the yearbook picture to change the narrative from the Guv-nor’s statements regarding the murder of babies born alive. It seems to have worked. They threw him under the bus.

This could all be determined to be unfounded but, at this point, it doesn't matter - he's toast. He's on the stone altar and they're all fighting for who gets to be the High Priest with the knife. The Destroyers must be able to demonstrate the ability to eat one of their own.

That Gov. had a PAC run one of the most race baiting adds I've ever seen during his campaign.....a truck with a Rebel Flag / don't tread on me tag chasing children of color driven by a white dude.

If we can get them to eat their own as they get caught in the downward spiral of victimhood. I can see it now, the progressive libtard dimocrats organize a national Jonestown event because they are all guilty of microagressions and can live with it no longer.

Ret10Echo, way to optimistic. In the end, only those who are willing to trade their life for an ideal, will make a difference.

Never saw that, but I don’t live there either. However, he can go screw himself. Drum him out.

I don't want him to go to soon. Let the Dems fight about this for a week or three. Let him hang like a big chunk of chum on a hook over the side of the boat for all and sundry sharks to swim by and have a nibble.

This guy had "Coonman" as his handle. "Coonman the Barbarian", or better yet, "the Babyslayer" will follow him forever.

Virginia Politics.

The Governor is on the way out and the Lt.Gov. is being accused of sexual assault again, A lot of stone throwing in the Dimocrat ultra liberal left progressive party. I wonder who will be left standing by convention time? Should HRC be counted out?

Apparently these guys are the ones that broke both stories, although the Lt.Gov's accuser had previously told her story to WaPo, you know, the ones that apparently ran the $10M mutual-masturbation commercial supporting journalism during the Super Bowl. The right side of the aisle has a machine at work & things will continue to get sporty. 'Cause evuh-body got sumtin' in der past...

***It was Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Democrat, who founded the Ku Klux Klan.

***Woodrow Wilson segregated Federal Buildings and jobs after 50 years of integration under largely Republican administrations.

***It was the Democrat Party in the South that instituted Jim Crow Laws.

***It was the Democrat Party in the South that instituted "separate but equal".

***It was the Democrat Party in the South that supported the Ku Klux Klan.

***It was George Wallace and the Democrat Party in the South that said "Segregation Forever".

***It was Orval Faubus and the Democrat Party that wanted the Arkansas National Guard to enforce segregation, and Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican President, that sent the 101st Airborne to integrate the schools.

***It was Bull Connor, a member of the Democrat National Committee, who turned the hoses on the marchers in Birmingham, and it was the Republicans who made up the majority that passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, over the filibuster of such Democrat paragons as William Fulbright and Al Gore Sr. - and Grand Kleagle Byrd.
(And no, the Dixiecrats didn't join the Republican Party - most of them remained Democrats.)

***It was the Democrats who kept Grand Kleagle Byrd in the party.

***It was Democrats who called General Colin Powell a "house nigger".

***It was Democrats who called Condi Rice - who grew up with and knew the little girls in Birmingham who were blown up, by Democrats - an "Aunt Jemima" and ran cartoons of her with fat lips doing Hattie McDaniel riffs.

***It was Democrats, or at least Obama supporters, who called Stacy Dash a hundred different racist names for daring to leave the Democrat plantaion. (sic)

***It's the Democrats who hold annual dinners honoring Andrew Jackson, who owned slaves and who orchestrated the Removal, the Trail of Tears, the near genocide of several of the Indian Nations.

You have got a lot of nerve clouding the issue with a bunch of facts!
