1. ...the fucking racist piece of shit.

[BurtWorm]

2. 'Duh,,, there are black people in Virginia? Duh... And they can vote?'

Republicans have very steep learning curves.

3. Too late.

We got another glimpse at who McDonnell really is. I hope this is remembered when he runs for higher office.

4. He's made his bed of white sheets...all he needs is a pointy hat..

[malaise]

5. Way too late

Probably worried that Mrs Johnson pulls out her money. She put him in office - one more tool.

6. Very powerful words...

...that only beg the question:

Why, on Earth then, would you want to celebrate the Confederacy's part in this?!?

[Enrique]

7. how long before he gets death threats? n/t

[gratuitous]

8. The original omission was not because he's racist

So stop saying that!

Waiting for the inevitable protestation from McDonnell about who "some of his best friends" are.

9. you must have missed all his actions during his campaign..

12. They are all whipping up fervour for 2011 -

the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War

10. Fuck you, you lying sack of shit bigot.

[MrScorpio]

11. Hey, the Confederates were fighting to keep slavery

What side is McDonnell on?
