    Yes you are blah, yes you are...
    ' Oh bury me, then rise ye up
    And break your heavy chains
    And water with the tyrants' blood
    The freedom you have gained.
    And in the great new family,
    The family of the free,
    With softly spoken, kindly word
    Remember also me."

    it's not unlike what happened when Eric Holder made his comment about prosecuting the "new Black Panther" case, except the same people who said that Holder was a racist for not seeing a case are now apologizing for this mayor making a clearly bigoted comment.
    I don't know that he was asked an honest question as much as a loaded question, along the lines of "have you stopped beating your wife?" The question he was asked was not an accusation, but it would be difficult to give a simple answer to it without seeming dodgy. It's a poorly formed question (I would say with intent). But that's just politics and he should be able to roll with it and give the more complex response. His was funny though.

    As far as Holder goes, I never accused him of being a racist, and I'm not for anyone here. I don't think there's anything to apologize for. I'm simply sharing my point of view on his comments.
    Again, I agree that in light of the situation a more conscientious politician would've certainly been more deft in handling the question, but I'm not willing to declare the man a bigot or a racist, or even concede that the comment was bigoted.
    I can understand some sensitivity due to the circumstances, but let's not get carried away.

    Those tacos will get the message, get into an SUV, drive out to Ronin and attack him. It is every man's dream to be overwhelmed with tacos.

    Is it because they use American cheese?



    Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. (Unless you throw a dictionary at me).

    If Liberals are against it, then its the right thing to do.
