racist and someone who drags his secessionist state another notch lower. perhaps he can become a lobbyist with the current governor one day.

perhaps, but Wilson stands to be an accurate racist at the end of the day as the language in the bill currently sits, where President Obama stands to simply be a lying racist.

Honest or dishonest, I don't like racists period. Please provide a source for your statement that Obama is a racist.

I still think the white officer acted stupidly - am I a racist too?

You don't know?

I'm sorry I should have said credible source and not someone's opinion.

Spin it however you want, his statement was not a blanket statement of all white people, white cops, or cops in general. He was speaking to the individual. Had he made the statement that cops "act stupidly" or that whites "act stupidly" then we'd have a different argument.

As to the video, if I wanted out of context edited video I'd switch my TV over to Fox news.

Just because the man disowned the good Rev Wright, it doesn't erase my memory that the man sat his family in the pews for 20 years listening to that vile and blatant racism. Turn the tables and make President Obama a man of white skin color running for President, do you think we would even remember his name at this point had he had the same religious affiliation? Being elected doesn't erase someone's past...and that past affiliation only ended during the campaign when it became politically expedient. This country understandably has a hard time labeling anyone of color a racist...especially when that person is our President. Would you not label a man of white skin color who attended a racist church for 20 years as such?

Oh, I know!

Just seeing if anyone else can separate commenting on the stupidity of someone who just happens to be (insert attribute/race/religion here) and making a blanket statement about the stupidity of all (insert here). ;-)

All I want to know is how I get my $16.50 a month back when I was promised it wouldn't be taken in the first place. big grin.

Question - is it something this administration specifically changed/did or is it just due to tax breaks scheduled to end actually ending as stated in the original legislation?
