Lord Dark Helmet 220 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Remember this line:"A writer observed: "We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity, and dignity." I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind when he praised Harry Truman."Turns out the writer she was speaking of was none other than Westbrook Pegler, a known racist and someone who called for the assassination of Robert Kennedy because of Kennedy's support for black Americans: "Some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow flies." Some of his other famous quotes:"Clearly the duty of all intelligent Americans is to proclaim and practice bigotry"."Jews are like geese because they hiss when they talk, gulp down everything before them, and foul everything in their wake" ."The Japanese in California should be under armed guard to the last man and woman--and to **** with habeas corpus".

She just read the speech. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

logic 3 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Leave her alone. She has no control over what comes out of her mouth. It would be like blaming Triumph The Insult Dog puppet for what the person that has his hand up his butt says... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frank's Red Hot Sauce 1,501 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Can't you comment on the original post?Okay, well obviously she is racist because she quoted a man who in the later years of his life began preaching bigotry. If she is a racist for quoting someone who is long dead, then Obama is a racist separatist for attending Jeremiah Wright's church and he is a terrorist for being an acquaintance to Bill Ayers, a known terrorist and he is Muslim since his dad was Musilim and he went to a Muslim school for 2 years. By the way, it wasn't JFK that he called for assisination, it was FDR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
