Say Silence Dogood: Accusing whites of anything is not considered racist?!
Since there has already been precedent established, perhaps the KKK would like to help American democracy by showing up at polling places to ensure voter safety?

Oh wait -- racism only works one way, right?

The democrat party can accept a black radical group at the polls confronting voters (2008/Philidelphia), but a white one? Different story.

Democrats have been allowed to get away with the race card for far too long, but now the chickens have began coming home to roost...and I agree with the below poster about looking at the stats.

DJ: Race card? The 200+ years of slavery continue to come back to haunt you. It's primarily what makes your country The Untied States of America!

TK: Yeah, and the sky is purple outside. Blacks were being heavily legally discriminated against well into the 1960's and the white people have done this. How sad it must be to be so afraid of everything in life the way this guy must me DJ, we sure get some pathetic thoughts running through here sometimes.

Say Silence Dogood that was an interesting rant, but not accurate on many levels. Congress has essentially been trying to cap certain damage awards, not prevent people from getting "just compenstion" when they have been injured. Simply look at malpractice insurance rates that have impacted the various medical specialties, ergo we have fewer people gong into specialties that people need, thus costs as well as wait times go up. In terms of Bush's low IQ as you and others suggest, he seems to have enjoyed numerous successes. I have a private pilots license (fixed and rotary) and have flown helicopters while in the miltary, and have been in numerous fighter jets. Bush flew a rather difficult jet compared to others. As far as his academics, well his transcripts are out there, including his graduate records. Where's Obama's? In terms of white racism, then that's a two-way street, just look at the stats.

Uh, 'Anon @ June 14, 2011 2:13pm; your argument is irrational. In case you haven't noticed, medical malpractice, drunk drivers, and people and businesses (or government employees) who don't follow the laws or use common sense and get people injured/or hurt others impact and increase their/employers' own insurance rates (not everyone else) when victims have to file claims for stupidity or lack of responsibility of others. (Educate yourself!) If insureds (and self-insureds like government)weren't increasingly irresponsible (or hiring corrupt and negligent employees)people wouldn't have to even file tort claims. It's usually the insurance companies that jerk everyone's chain in the process of a claim. Lay the blame on the perps and/or their masters, where it belongs, not the injured.

Baby Bush was the mouthpiece of capitalist elite power for eight years, no less than anyone expected him to be the day he was first 'selected'. I doubt he ever had an original thought that he wasn't taught by his father or his handlers. I can hear him now, "Next beer!"

There will never be a 'multitude of groups out there' who can pursue every injustice, as there's such a multitude of injustice in this country that the formation and paid membership of such groups will never keep up with the problem every time it rears it ugly-underbelly, and members would likely experience burnout after a couple years. I'm a white American, over fifty, and even I know that white racism against blacks (and now gelling against Arabs and Hispanics, too) in this country is entrenched from local* to federal government workplaces, and in quite a few private* workplaces, where* I have worked myself (since I was fifteen). It truly sickens me.
It only takes one bad apple white racist in any workplace for the 'white wagons' to circle so as to protect "their own" white peer butts with the hope of saving the whole barrel from being considered tainted and racist. It's called a 'coverup', after the victim speaks up or out..

Bush did what? Hey Tim we have thee branches of government, so Bush had only so much power (he wanted to reduce certain unlimited damage awards to medically related Tort lawsuits because they have been impacting and increasing insurance rates (educate yourself!), regardless of what you think you know or what you think he did.

Tim King: Do I need to remind you that he was the President and sh*t rolls downhill? He went to great effort to discredit the notion of suing in general.

As far as justice is concerned, no president has ever had more of a negative impact on the "common man" as Obama and his controllers. Obviously you have a real Jones for someone, but you have no real concept of what's going on.

Tim King: I don't know why I put up with this insulting garbage, you are wrong, watch the film and know in the meanwhile that your points are all non existent. Sure, Obama is problematic on several levels, but that isn't who I'm talking about right now and at least, like Clinton, Obama wasn't raised like Bush. There is a monumental difference

Regarding Coleman, if he was such a horrible victim of some perceived injustice, then how come the multitude of groups out there who pursue injustice have not come to his assistance? So did Franken smile at you or something? He is an absolutly horrible zionist piece of work. Maybe you should do a little more background review on him?

Tim King: You really don't glean much from the details do you? Coleman's entire ordeal is about racism, beginning, middle and end. We did a big story about the lackadaisical NAACP here, we have done many things, but groups are too extended to help. William is a person of integrity. Unlike you, if he wrote here he would be a man and list his name. I don't know about Franken's role as a Zionist, he seems too logical but at least you raised one possible point that could be valid while wasting my time like this. Also readers, this individual's other comment to Salem-News.com is in support of big pharma, are you surprised?
