20 great moments in liberal bigotry

Do not make the mistake of thinking Harry Reed’s recent comment that President Obama might be electable because he’s light-skinned and doesn’t have a negro dialect is an isolated event.

In fact, there are so many inappropriate liberal comments that we’re thinking of opening The Liberal Bigot Hall of Fame to honor the best of the best. Each of the following liberal icons would get a nice brass plaque featuring their face and most bigoted quotes.

Of course, Robert Byrd (D-WV) was a unanimous first round selection into the Hall.

Price of admission:
Adults $10
Children $5
Blacks, Jews, Indians and any other minorities not allowed.

And now, without further delay, here are 20 remarkably bigoted comments made by liberals.

“You’d find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they’d just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva.”
– Senator Fritz Hollings

Blacks and Hispanics are “too busy eating watermelons and tacos” to learn how to read and write.”
– Mike Wallace

“In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and [there] were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master … exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. Colin Powell’s committed to come into the house of the master. When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture.”
– Harry Belafonte

“A handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom.”
– Spike Lee referring to Clarence Thomas

“Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”
– Robert Byrd

“I am a former kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties of the state …. The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia …. It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va …. I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities.”
– Robert Byrd

“I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”
– Lyndon B. Johnson

“You f*cking Jew b@stard.”
– Hillary Clinton

‘Hymietown.’
– Jesse Jackson describing New York City

“Jews — that’s J-E-W-S.”
– State Senator Bill McKinney explaining why his daughter Cynthia lost in 2002

“Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them.”
– Mary Frances Berry, Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights

The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years.”
– Louis Farrakhan

“White folks was in caves while we was building empires… We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”
– Rev. Al Sharpton

“The white race is the cancer of human history.”
– Susan Sontag

These negros, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they’ve never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness.
– LBJ

“I am not going to use the federal government’s authority deliberately to circumvent the natural inclination of people to live in ethnic homogeneous neighborhoods.”
– Jimmy Carter

I mean, you’ve got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”
– Joe Biden (referring to Barack Obama)

  • In 2008, people voted into office a bi-racial president with a Muslim father because he offered a message of hope to the people of America. When those people later disagreed with plans that were being put forth by this president because they saw something wrong in it, those very same people who voted for him were called racist. Honestly, the grand majority of us do not care about skin color anymore...we care about the content of one's character, just as Dr. King's message says. It is only those who make money or get power from the belief that every "white" person is racist who keep stirring the pot and creating anger towards persons innocent of those crimes, and turning bored young people with little hope into murderers.

  • Liberals just seem to be so out of touch with the people they represent.
    I actually agree with Senator Byrd though. We should talk less about race and focus on individuals. Talking about racism all the time spurs more racism.

    • Patti I agree with the statement about talking about race, Since we are all humans and are pretty much the same except for some shades of color. Who cares what color you are? It's whats inside the person that counts. There are shit disturbers in all colors, and there are some wonderful people and they come in all shades. but the guy who you are quoting was a member of the KKK at one point, and I don't care how much he pretended to be reformed, he was still evil. Who Knows what evil lurks in the hearts of man?

    • I agree completely. The proof is in the pudding as they say. In the past couple of weeks that has been the case even around here.

  • The greatest racist hits of liberals...Damn that's powerful stuff. Yet like that Janeanene Buffalo (Garafalo) woman she will never accept it and keep insisting Herman Cain has been bought and paid for by conservatives to prove they are not racist. That should have been high on the list. Its that kind of thinking that shows just how stupid and racist liberals are.

    • Notice our favorite two liberals. Tyrone and Nurse Ratchet are staying away from this thread like it's typhoid...Guess its hard to defend racism when its your hero's spewing it out.. either that or there will be some cut and paste bullshit that wastes space and has nothing to do with this thread.

    • I don't understand why people continue to generalize. I didn't vote for Obama. I am black. I am certainly not a fool. I am sure a lot of Jews would feel the same way. Generalizations like this is the hallmark of ignorance and perpetuates the problems that we are having in this country.

      • I understand why you would think that about generalizations, but blacks & jews do vote overwhelmingly democrat. I do get it to some extent with jews, & it's because most are socially liberal, & many also hate Israel & blame them for the conflict they have always been engaged in. Blacks seem to have been bought off by LBJ's "Great Society" crap. Most black folks I know are fairly conservative socially, but too many seem to have embraced the victimhood preached by Revs Al & Jesse, & that's sad. Blacks vote democrat, I get it, in the general election, that made sense. But in the primary vs Hillary, the black vote went overwhelmingly Obama, & I think THAT was about race, since Hillary & Obama are very similar politically, both very liberal, so I almost have to believe it was about race. Am I wrong?

        • Perhaps it is best to say a good number or a vast majority instead of the Jews and Blacks alone as that can lead to the generalization that all jews and Blacks vote democrat or liberal which is a fallacy. So when you say blacks it is best to say some numbers or some percentage, etc. . Most black people are conservative socially (hence why proposition 28 failed), but yes there are SOME that do subscribe to liberal agendas and even though black (social and/or fiscal/governmental) conservatives may be a minority within the black community they do exist. It would be a fallacy for me to say "Whites fall into the idea that their country is being taken away from them by people of color" right? There may be some whites that do but not all and I certainly dont think it is a majority either.
