2. That LBJ footage was incredible. I can only imagine what it was

like to hear those words from a President at that time.

[Peacetrain]

5. Sometimes all we remember about Johnson is his mess up with Vietnam

But he put it on the line.. to make the states that used voter literacy tests and violence to keep people from voting.. comply.. He does not get the credit he deserves for that

[alsame]

7. Absolutely right. Domestically he did a great job. nt

6. I am really enjoying her show tonight.. she is now doing a thing on

Ron Paul and the tea party movement. Apparently the tea partiers are not Ron Paulers..

8. Some of the teabagging bloggers at the fundraiser this weekend....

..... did a whole discussion about the accusations that they're being racist.

They dont care .... and say WE only say that "because we're jealous." "When someone says 'your being racist' that just means 'i'm jealous because my party lost the Mass election.'"

I'm not kidding. That's what they said.

9. Then they're more JEALOUS bc

they lost the really BIG ELECTION 2008.:rofl:

[Peacetrain]

11. That just about says it all

[Peacetrain]

10. Jealous? not hardly.. Incredulous .. oh yeah

I cannot believe these people are so delusional.

[Skittles]

12. I'LL SAY IT AGAIN

if there were literacy tests for voting we'd have a lot fewer repuke voters - there are WAY more stupid white folk than stupid minorites

13. She needs to talk about ex-Judge Roy Moore.

The Chief Justice in Alabama who refused to take his big assed granite rock of the Ten Commandments and remove it from the lawn like he was ordered to do.

He called for armed revolution at the tea party convention this past weekend.
