Novak's racist comment is making me sick
NOVAK: You know, you can give that old -- that old -- those talking points any time you want, Paul. But the fact is, your party is in bad shape in the white South. And

(CROSSTALK)

BEGALA: Why is that?

(CROSSTALK)

BEGALA: Why is that?

NOVAK: It's because it's a conservative, patriotic area.

(BELL RINGING)

1. so....
....the conservative white south is patriotic.

What about black conservatives in the south? Are they patriotic too? Or just the white ones?

11. And then there's Oklahoma-MorrisDees/ElohimCity/OKBOMB

FBI Director's memo Full Of surprises

Until this memo surfaced, spokespersons for the FBI
and the U.S. Department of Justice steadfastly denied
they had any reliable information concerning any
relationship between either McVeigh or Nichols and
subjects living at or who had frequented the Elohim
City compound before the bombing.

Thanx to Xymphora
BTW-My Mom was born in Idabel and I live entirely too close to Elohim City.

Don't you know it would be a Boomer Sooners' Paper to
break this.

2. Well, once you earn the "traitor" title
it probably doesn;t hurt to be called a racist.

I think I'd be more offended if I was a conservative white male being called patriotic by someone who damaged our intelligence and anti-terror network world-wide.

3. Well, take heart in that Nader spanked his ass
real hard every time he spoke to him. Novak didn't even try to respond to Nader's remarks to him, Novak knew he was outgunned and everything he said was just plain facts that no one can dispute.

If more Dem talking heads had the balls to speak up like that we could put a stop to their propaganda and outright lies.

5. You are right about that
It seems every network and cable news outlet will only have the weakest Dem on to share their milquetoast apology for us. I'm disgusted with all this.

8. After Novak damaged Ameica's ability to track weapons of mass
After Novak damaged Ameica's ability to track weapons of mass destructions with his leaks (not just one leak) about Joe Wilson's wife, he should worry about his own popularity with patriotic Americans.

9. He's sort of right though
In Southern cities like Atlanta black voters are the only reason the city isn't hardcore Republican. This isn't racist, it's just minority political cleavages. Conservative Republican blacks have little political power in the South.
