@TheMightyTrowel: John Barrow is a scummy blue dog from Athens who moved to Savannah to get elected and then they gerrymandered his sorry ass so he’s moving to Augusta.
Ok, if African Americans were really as angry as the GOP liked to portray us, then we be slapping white people left and right. Be happy we seem to be taking most of it all in stride (civil disobedience, voting, petitioning, etc) …just steer clear of us after we’ve watched Roots, the MLK Jr story, and Rosewood. I dare anyone to be in a good mood after watching any of those.

There was a special on PBS yesterday about Chicago and the Civil Rights Movement. On special moment was when a brother they were interviewing side, “there were white people who were terrified that we were going to do to them what they did to us”.!

They talk about the multitude of ways the Nixon admin engaged in insanely dirty tactics. For instance, the CIA helped prepare plans to “neutralize antiwar protesters with mugging squads and kidnapping teams”.
That’s just a tiny taste. Way more at the link.

Doing fine, though sick of politics. It’s been a little cooler, with less smoke in the air, and Charlie is doing most excellent, like always. Thanks for asking!!
“there were white people who were terrified that we were going to do to them what they did to us”.!
And that pretty much explains the past 50 years of Republican politics.

All reflected a mind-set and a pattern of behavior that were uniquely and pervasively Nixon’s: a willingness to disregard the law for political advantage, and a quest for dirt and secrets about his opponents as an organizing principle of his presidency.
What the fuck?
Has the names Karl Rove or Lee Atwater ever penetrated the shell-like ears or Villager mentalities of these guys? Fine, they got a Pulitzer prize forty years ago. Do they, or anyone else, seriously think that Republican senators would actually join Democrats in a similar vote today? Hell, Mitch McConnell and his ilk, not to mention the likes of Richard Mourdock (if elected), would be cheering the burglars on, as long as they were working on behalf of a Republican president. Not to mention that most of the crimes committed by the Watergate burglars would today be considered legal if carried out by government agencies on the basis of national security; no need for a coverup. Move along, nothing to see here.
but are ya really gonna vote for the republican’t ?

I haven’t seen this story get much play in the blogs I check out:
Woodward and Bernstein are shrill!
