Earth to Tweety: Just who the hell are these
white people who suffered from slavery and Jim Crow laws and why did you let that canard from Buchanan get by without a raised eyebrow at least? And shame on you too, Eugene Robinson, who did not question it either.

Watch Tweety's discussion of affirmative action with these two and wonder at the alternate universe some of these guys live in. Actually it is being broadcast right now--based on the article written by Webb.

2. Why is Pat Buchanan given a forum to spew his crap?

9. Heard that in the earlier show and wondered if it was going to be edited out
Yeah, he wondered why Italians were discriminated against because they weren't "colored".

Quite a slip even for Pyookanan.

4. DC is a dreamscape, lacking even its own internal "logic"

8. Not that Buchanan has a clue of what he is talking about
or Tweet, or for that matter Gene Robinson....

As the nation moves into a collection of Minorities we MIGHT have move move to a different system of advantage, and one not based on race but economic income.

That is what Webb was arguing for... these guys need to read... but what Webb and the rest are missing is... yes, you can do that... once discrimination for race\ gender\ finally disappears.

Oh and there was a time when African Slaves and White Indentures had everything in common... but we have to go really back into the past, to about the 1620s, when BOTH Africans and Indentures were sold and bought, but were released at the term of service. Oh and both were treated so badly that revolts were more common than they dare teach in HS history classes. Now that is DIGGING DEEP, and I doubt either of those three men knew of this either. Let's be honest, most people don't.
