If we all are held accountable for any bigotry we harbored in our youth, does that mean we deny public service to talented people?  (and who would be left to serve?)   
LOL  I think you are a little late to the party with that observation. Maybe because the latest 'victim' has a  d next to his ballot name.

I see the apples/bergamots point has already been made, so I'll leave you to your lolling.
How convenient for you to then simply compare apples to bergamonts even though I didn't.

I didn't say Northam wasn't a cooked goose.
But every one from Nancy Pelosi on down has.  Bully for you if you think he got screwed by the Bully PCers.  But remember Northam was not shy about using the race card against his opponent .

Just as I felt I couldn't trust Kavanaugh on scotus, I understand people not trusting Northam now.  Medical school is pretty late to still be that clueless.  Regardless of D or R next to a ballot name.
Kavanaugh was in HIGH SCHOOL and his accuser proved to be a liar.  Northam was not accused of anything.  But a picture was published and, almost immediately, he apologized. Now he says the pic was not of him and the usage of it on his yearbook page could have been in error.
I don't think Northam is a racist nor was he ever whatever the truth is about the picture.
But the party who has screamed racism or worse at any flimsy evidence now is caught with a lot of toothpaste to be put back in the tube.

Steve King is still in the House... so is Steve Scalise.



What's your fool ass problem with Scalise?
Scalise spoke to a White Supremacy group and claimed afterwards he didn't know they were.

Not exactly.  But likely what Larry is talking about....

Oh, what exactly do you think occurred?

Quote
Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), the House majority whip, acknowledged Monday that he spoke at a gathering hosted by white-supremacist leaders while serving as a state representative in 2002, thrusting a racial controversy into House Republican ranks days before the party assumes control of both congressional chambers.

Scalise, 49, who ascended to the House GOP’s third-ranking post this year, confirmed through an adviser that he once appeared at a convention of the European-American Unity and Rights Organization, or EURO. But the adviser said the congressman didn’t know at the time about the group’s affiliation with racists and neo-Nazi activists.

Mary Poppins branded racist by US academic - for 'blacking up' in iconic sweeps' rooftop scene

Dame Julie Andrews’ performance as Mary Poppins is racist, says a US academic who accuses her of ‘blacking up’ when her face is covered with soot as she dances with chimney sweeps.

Professor Daniel Pollack-Pelzner has a future in the democrat party Democratic Party.

Fixed it for ya, dickhead.

"He told me he was like David Duke without the baggage. I think he meant he supported the same policy ideas as David Duke, but he wasn’t David Duke, that he didn’t have the same feelings about certain people as David Duke did."

 —Stephanie Grace, reporter Times Picayune

Close enough...

Small potatoes.  I am sure Larry likes Cedric Richmond, who backed Scalise after the matter occurred.

So Scalise has a Magic Negro... so what?

Here he is with Spkr. Paul Ryan, right before they went down to the White House to have a beer blast in celebration of repealing Obamacare... again.


Fuck Scalise

Australia's a man's country!

https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/world/381696/australia-turns-away-women-fleeing-from-saudi-arabia

More like a border-secure country...where floodgates are not welcome.

Four Corners has evidence of at least two young Saudi women who arrived at Sydney Airport in the past two years but were turned back after making their asylum claims clear to Australian officials.
Four Corners has also been told that Saudi women who arrive alone at Australian airports are being questioned as to why they are travelling without a male guardian.

At least 80 Saudi women have sought asylum in Australia in recent years, many of them fleeing Saudi Arabia's oppressive male guardianship laws, which allow their husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles and even sons to strictly control their lives.

Four Corners has spoken to several Saudi women who managed to escape the Middle Eastern kingdom and make it to Australia. All of them remain on bridging visas waiting for their asylum claims to be processed.

Memo to Americans who might be visiting Australia or have family visiting Australia.

These YouTube videos can be helpful...but, this American girl shows a large black spider, says to whack it with a fly swatter, then she's shown with the large black spider in her hand, saying to hold it on your hands and mourn its passing.

NO!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGrfavK1yNQ&spfreload=10

_________________________________________________________________

Don't go anywhere near Funnel Web spiders [Atrax Robustus] with fly swatters ...and certainly don't put them anywhere near your hands, supposedly dead or not...they are one of the world's most deadly spiders.

Larry seems to think repealing "Obamacare" is all about hating that black president.  Funny.

No, you dick. It is about hurting everyday ordinary people, period. It’s choosing profits over people and that is just fucking evil.

Heh.  Was going to post that rebuttal, but you got there first.  It is so unconvincing when somewhere somehow a vicious racist fuck manages to find someone he has been able to dupe.  It's like Trump and those Magical Women he found to assert how respectful he was, who wouldn't grab an ass even if it was an ass-shaped doorknob and the room was on fire.

Kid seems to have posted a link to some sort of rumor mill that is not subject to libel laws or editorial fact checking.   When he provides a legitimate link to news, i will click on it and take an interest.
