This Space for Rent
So, a Republican supporter says it in the same spirit, and they would be on him like white on rice (I can say that. I am white.), but if a guy says it who a portion of their base likes, we will just point him in the right direction in a friendly way. At least they admit what we have known for years!

The only "n-word" that Nader needs to be spouting off is "NEVER". Because he is "never" going to get elected.... 
Can you imagine if Tom Delay or George Bush had said it?
So hear ye, hear ye: Only liberals and Democrats are allowed to use racial slurs. Everyone else who does it will be killed.

A few years ago I ran across a Greatest Hits album by David Allan Coe. I always liked "You Never Even Call Me By My Name" and "Would You Lay With Me in a Field of Stone" (which he wrote for Tanya Tucker), so I looked at the CD case. The N-word was in the title of at least a quarter of the songs. 
I read later that Coe apparently hooked up with some hardcore racist biker groups and began catering to them in his music. As the story went, he later disavowed those songs. I don't know if that's true.

And John Lennon wrote Woman is the ###### of the World. It's a word we give it power. Nader didn't call someone a ######, he said he felt like one.
I agree that you don't compare the plight of a rich white man with the equal rights movement. That was very poor judgment. And you don't compare our enemies to Hitler, but everyone seems to be doing that too.
We need to expect more from our public figures. His comment weren't racist, just stupid.

I agree. Blacks have tried to defang the word by using it among themselves, as a sign of cultural solidarity. But Richard Pryor vowed in the '80s never to use the word again, and I respect him for that.Firefly said:
Yeah, I hate the hypocritical double standard, too. There have been politicians from both parties using this language, from Jesse Jackson's "Hymietown" remark to Richard Nixon's bigoted ramblings on the White House tapes.

I have a bunch of those songs, and if you can get past the racism and realize he's singing tongue-in-cheek (I hope!) they're pretty freakin' hilarious.Tonio said:A few years ago I ran across a Greatest Hits album by David Allan Coe.

I would love to watch Sharpton stuff a bar of soap into his big fat mouth, maybe Jesse Jackson will do the same and finally we will have a moment of silence from these two. I do wonder why Al didn't say that Nader should be eating the soap, after all Nader said the word (that is only offensive some of the time, based on the race of the person saying it)?Tonio said:
