hooskins 05-31-2007, 05:38 PM C'mon man, you know better than to generalize like that.
I am not generalizing, even before Allen ran there were doubt as to his racial views. They again surfaced during his campaign with the Macaka incident and his usage of the N word frequently during his time at UVa.
I do feel it says something about Republican leadership in the party or atleast in VA, to support a candidate like that when an issue such as racism should not be tolerated whatsoever. Also if you watch the Macaka clip, you can hear much of his supporters laughing and applauding. That is just sick in my honest opinion.
I have nothing wrong with Republicans, and I myself vote Republican for the House(Congressman Wolfe), but I do have a huge problem with overt racism. Perhaps he is a product of his environment or whatever, but the Republicans should not support him if there is suspicion and he supporters should not approve of that kind of stuff.
70Chip 05-31-2007, 05:41 PM When we topple governments we don't like, install dictators like we did with the Shah of Iran in 1953, when we station troops in Mecca and involve ourselves in middle eastern territorial disputes like we did in the first Gulf War, when we bomb, strike, invade, and occupy foreign lands, what sort of reaction do you think we will continue to get in that part of the world?
.
I have two questions. First, were we right to involve ourself in the European territorial dispute of the 1940s?
And second, when did we have troops stationed in Mecca?
Lastly. let me say that my experience with Republican isolationists like Ron Paul, or Pat Buchanan, or Bob Novak has been that they are mostly just good old fashioned anti-semites. I think they want to pull out of there because they would like to see the Jews driven into the sea.
This is in no way meant to throw an accusation like that at anyone here. I want to be perfectly clear about that. I'm not calling anyone an anti-semite in this forum. Unless Pat Buchanan is posting in which case I am.

Ok, but when you say the Republican party I think you're talking about every single person affiliated with Republican party. Even people like myself who tend to vote Republican.
Just craft your argument better, that's all.

Point well taken, I meant more towards Republican leadership for allowing such a candidate. I am glad you realize I am not generalizing.

On your first point, yes. Since Germany declared war on us first, we had no choice but to answer their threat.
Troops in Mecca? 1990. Gulf War I.
As to anti-semitism, you have a legitimate point about Buchanon. Novak I'm not sure about. But all Ron Paul has ever suggested is that perhaps it's time we let Israel defend Israel, and put an end to entangling alliances. When we side with Islam's sworn enemy, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that you'll irritate the people of Islam. Nothing against Israel -- they are the freest country in that region of the world, and I want nothing but the best for them. I wish them well. But they are not our fight.
Bottom line, stay out of irrational religious conflicts in the middle east. Period.
