    Lindsey feels that the criticism that rick perry received for ******head just goes along with territory of being a southern white politician. its an intimidation tool you know against those oppressed white guys from the south. you know that disenfranchised group of very non influential people. you know southern white males, don't you feel sorry for them?

    really, i wrote in the rick perry thread but i feel it deserves its own topic, if this is how you are going to respond to ******head, than don't expect blacks to eva eva eva vote for you. and to turn it around like perry is a victim? is this your strategy for expanding your base.

    we don't expect you to support affirmative action, but we do expect denouncing of ******head. and we don't think that's too much.

    He is a politician making up a BS story. How is that any different than all of the other ones?

    are you just admitting that instead of alienating the racist part of its base, the repubs make a political calculation and support ******head?

    Seriously is this even a story on the Perry side? His dad leased a property that had the name for decades. Promptly painted over a rock that had the name on it.

    What would you have liked him (his father) to do?

    i would like the republican not to defend it and instead, say we apologize for the name still being readable.

    but nice way to deflect the conversation

    Ok so Perry did nothing wrong right?


    OK so since we agree on that lets bring it back to LG. The only thing he said was Perry is not a racist (true), and that if you are a southern white guy you have to deflect unfounded racism charges.

    Perry is certainly having to deflect racism charges here that are unfounded right?

    i really don't care and i never said perry was a racist. i said don't take the tact of defending ******head, even if all you are doing is saying perry isn't racists.

    all you need to say is we regret that such an offensive name was still visible.

    Graham has received flack for being "too moderate/traitorous"...with the Tea Party itching for a replacement. This is his way of saying he's one with the good ol boys....

    because you as usual are trying to change the goal posts. it isn't really about perry, its about ******head. and when you go through these different defenses and deflections of the topic, you alienate minorities more.

    so why do you want to see where the term comes from. since you do, from what i understand, somethings back in the day that resembled a black person were named ******head

    but the term "******head" isn't the topic, denouncing something that's racist either if its from the past or from the present is. all you have to say is we regret that such a term was still visible. that's it. you don't have to blame perry, the town or whatever.

    Seriously when I have been off topic or moved the goalposts?

    You haven't disputed anything. You said it isn't about Perry but he is the focus of your first post. You are mad at LG, but his point is valid. You ask for Perry to apologize, but cannot say what he did wrong?
