Amazingly, he wasn't pelted with rotten eggs:
"'And I understand that a lot of African-Americans distrust my political party', the president said, drawing perhaps the loudest applause of his morning. 'I consider it a tragedy that the party of Abraham Lincoln let go of its historical ties with the African-American community'.''
Find me a more cynical move than this: Bush's operatives in Florida in 2000 and likely Ohio in 2004 disenfranchised thousands of black voters, not to mention education and health care, which are concerns that black americans share with all americans.
Well, except these americans, and they are the only ones that count.
That passage is prime material for those studying presidential rhetoric. The same clown who squeezed out this load of crap is the same Bozo who has refused speaking invitations from the NAACP Convention for the past 6 years!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, just up I-71 a couple of hours north of here, the right-wing sycophantic election-rigger Ken Blackwell is gearing up for his GUBERnatorial race.
Oh...the irony and hypocrisy abounds people.
