jerseyhoya wrote:NAACP leader likens black GOP senator to ventriloquist’s dummy

An influential leader of the NAACP in North Carolina recently compared Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the lone black Republican in Congress, to a ventriloquist's dummy.

"A ventriloquist can always find a good dummy,” the Rev. William Barber said about Scott during remarks in Columbia, S.C., on Sunday, according to The State.

Barber added that “the extreme right wing down here (in South Carolina) finds a black guy to be senator and claims he’s the first black senator since Reconstruction, and then he goes to Washington, D.C., and articulates the agenda of the Tea Party.”

Good thing black people can't be racist otherwise that guy might be in some hot water

i'm confused about the point you're trying to make

I thought it was a shitty thing to say, and I don't expect he'll feel a ton of pressure from folks on his side of the aisle to step down as the head of the state NAACP or even apologize for demeaning a black man like that. Would be happy to be proven wrong.

no need to modify description of him with "ventriloquist"

1) list doesn't look complete
2) & it screams "preppie"
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

Can anyone explain why McDonnell's Twitter account is just a bunch of Terry McAuliffe retweets?

The Rob Ford saga has definitely transitioned from comical to annoying to tragic. Dude needs help.

I wonder how much a very regular drinker of that size has to drink to be that drunk.

I like how Hannity basically admitted that he's an extreme right winger. Cuomo said that extreme conservatives aren't welcome in the state and Hannity said, "Fine, I'm leaving and taking my show with me. I don't want to pay taxes anyway. I want to go to Florida or Texas where I can leach off the government without paying taxes." I'm paraphrasing, of course. :)

Cuomo is very, very smart. He's picking this substance-free fight with the right wing, which utter dumb fuck Hannity lunges for, at the same time he's cutting off our far left mayor at the knees by pledging to fund de blasio's signature pre-K initiative without the tax hike on the wealthy de Blasio wants for it... which, folks are beginning to understand, is a bigger deal to the mayor than the pre-K itself.
