[Hamilton Samuels]

I posted a quote from his daughter.

Speaking of context, your original problem was I stated White America hated King until after he was dead and you disputed that with your usual vehemence.

Now you’re saying King was persona non grata... no shit.

My original problem was your misleading bullshit. And I called you on it.

Larry you've used that 75% several times over the years to portray the white hatred of MLK, but you always ignored the fact that in '67, a year of riots and civil unrest of all sorts, about 60% of black America had a big problem with MLK too.

But you never mention that.

Nor that in 1964 (pre-riots, pre-Civil Rights and Voting Rights Act) the year that MLK won the Nobel Peace Prize, half of America admired him. And in the 1964-67, with the social changes, riots, and the war in Viet Nam, his approval fell from 50% to 25%.

And Larry the reason there is, as you say, "no shit" is because you are full of it.

Your original problem was your assertion I was wrong about white America’s attitude and that you and your family loved King.

My point remains, King was not the dew eyed dreamer he’s been whitewashed into.

Do you ever wonder why you spend so much time “calling” me on things?

Yeah.

I don't have a problem Larry.

You do.

With facts and context.

Facts and context about 1964-67, which specifically related to MLK, that you did not and can not refute.

And Larry I spend far less time calling you out than I do with Red or kid or Utley.

When I disagree with someone on a forum, I disagree with them.

If you have a problem with that, that's your problem.

Heat-kitchen

Larry's very sensitive.

Banks, it sounds like you are saying America had a chance to become a better place in the mid sixties but pissed it all away with the war in Vietnam.

It’s a good reason to support Rev. Senator Warnock and his efforts to get us further up the mountain especially where republican monstrosities have a strong grip and are choking the life out of the people.

Yet, somehow MLB thinks it’s ok to play games in Cuba and funnel Money bag to a corrupt government that murders its own people and denies basic human rights.

Florida. Texas. Have others in mind?

In your own words, how does voting restriction that disproportionately affects people of color advance democracy and give Georgia the best possible representative government?


Accept the premise of the question?  Nah..........

WEST WING.

That's no answer.   There are 156 episodes... are we supposed to know which is applicable?   If fiction is even applicable.   You haven't given any reason to believe it is.

You really are just thick as a brick.

ALEC affiliated right-wing organization.  Please don't use disinformation sources from special interest groups run by billionaires to determine what poor people want.   

LOL!

The U.S. Census Bureau reported in late March that 11.1 percent of K-12 students in the nation are now homeschooling, a significant jump from 5.4 percent when school closures went into effect in spring of 2020, and from the 3.3 percent of families who homeschooled prior to the coronavirus pandemic....

Census data shows that covid happened.  It doesn't show people who want to give up on funding public education.

Probably because no one is asking for an end to public financing of public education .

  Many students will return to public schools and end homeschooling, when it's deemed safe.  ALEC and FFC don't report statistics objectively.  Enjoy your spin.

I’m not spinning anything. I cited facts. You don’t like them for some reason.

When LEO is the VP candidate Kristen Chenowith's character is molding him - and one rule she had was

"Don't accept the premise of a question"

Or - dont be led by the nose

Anybody seen RED, today?

[bambu.]

"Global temps drop below 100 yr average."

Well there you go.
No 1 radio host is correct...."the great carbon hoax".

False.   Try IPCC for accurate scientific data.

Tried that. It didn't work out well:

No 1 radio host told us, so we looked it up:

https://blog.independent.org/2010/06/18/ipcc-insider-admits-climate-consensus-claim-was-a-lie/

IPCC Insider Admits Climate Consensus Claim Was a Lie

He told us about that nice Mr Gore too.

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/10/24/gore-admits-the-the-ipcc-climate-report-was-torqued-up-to-get-attention/

Gore admits the the IPCC climate report was “torqued up” to get attention

[bambu.]

"Global temps drop below 100 yr average."

Well there you go.
No 1 radio host is correct...."the great carbon hoax".

And this is why I have you on ignore.

A quote offered without a source and not findable with a search using "yr" or "year."

Even if it were true for a given month of a year, it still would not mean what you infer from it, but you don't care about either truth or how science works. You just want to spew your bullshit.

It was on my Sky News tv screen tonite.
Cory Bernardi and Prof Ian Plimer said so, and showed the proof....graph.

Instead of my usual "Bambu should just stay in his basement" response, once in awhile some of the silliness he posts here on a daily basis requires a bit of a response. 

1) "Prof Ian Plimer" is a geologist and appears to have no more expertise in climatology and statistical interpretation than Bambu himself.  I have no idea what training No. 1 radio host has other than to note that being a No. 1 Radio host doesn't make him any more of an expert in these fields than Bambu himself.
2) A one or two year statistical anomaly has no relevance to long-term trends
3) Just stay in your basement (I couldn't help myself).

lol

Think of no 1 radio host [now no1 tv host [on Sky News]] as a conduit.

No, not what either said.

This for Hulme. I will skip Gore.

But, as ever, you don't care about facts, only things that support your point of view.

The Revenue act of 1921 became law November 23, 1921. It repeals
 the federal excess-profits tax, the transportation taxes, some luxury
 and other taxes, reduces slightly the maximum surtaxes upon individ-
 ual incomes and increases somewhat the personal exemptions of heads
 of families and dependents, permits net losses of one year to be offset
 against net income of following years, and provides for the final
 settlement of tax cases besides making some other changes in the
 previous statute. The new act is the result of a rather long and
 spirited contest between those who desired to reduce the rates of the
 Revenue act of 1918 upon large incomes, profits and wealth and those
 who opposed such reductions or who, at least, opposed the shifting of
 greater burdens upon the masses through sales and other taxes.

The GOP always at work for the wealthy.
