    Aww, I thought your posts here were special. I thought this discussion board was special. Now I find out you were simply going through the motions here. Just regurgitating posts that you posted THERE. That other discussion board. That " MUCH BETTER BOARD" over there.

    I feel so disappointed. So used.

    If this continues, someone on Clutchfans will eventually be the Governor of Virginia.

    @NewRoxFan , best to remember Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, particularly #s 4 and 5:

    4. Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
    5. Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.​

    Instead of whataboutism, just chuckle and move on. It was a joke.

    Since I am one of the early "they should resign for ..." I guess I see it not being a Democrat or republican problem as much a problem that unfortunately exists too much in leadership and society. The fact that even the president attempts to make political points on something his own party (and even himself) needs to clean up is a big problem. And sorry, I don't think joking about it is a solution.

    Don't really read Alinsky.

    And public ridicule may work but I also wonder what young people think when seeing government leaders getting exposed for past "jokes" about black face and KKK uniforms. Do some come away thinking its OK, or "funny". Do others think that it makes things harder on them if government leaders get away with things like this? Especially when its not just an isolated case or two.

    This is likely to enhance his stature in the neo-confederate Virginia GOP.

    This is a party that ran a General Lee car with a trunkful of lawn jockeys for Senator last cycle.
