Michael, > My argument with dave is on the history that buchanan treats in a racist way, not where we are today. I prefer to see things the way Bill Cosby does. eightcitiesmap.com Tenchusatsu

Just as young Jews are NOT migrating to Israel, same as some cowardly old Zionists - right Mikey? No Jews from any decent country migrate to Israel nowdays - they aren't nuts. usatoday.com "Immigration is at an 18-year-low, and members of Israel's Arab minority are having children at a faster rate than Jews. Some lawmakers are keen to protect Israel's identity as a predominantly Jewish state."

"and on that we agree. And today thats in the process of being corrected. My argument with dave is on the history that buchanan treats in a racist way, not where we are today. And rev wright plays into his hand being a 60s black activist in the 21st century world. These old dudes are dying out. A world without buchanan and wright and chris parsons is welcome so we can get past the history---all of it."

My argument with dave is on the history that buchanan treats in a racist way, I'm sorry, but there was nothing in Buchanan's remarks that could reasonably be construed as racist. Just because someone believes that blacks have had a lot of benefits from living in the US over the last 30 years does NOT make that person a racist. This is the attitude that many people are sick of -- kind of the OJ version of racism -- that is, any remarks that point out that blacks are committing the crimes, that blacks are the heart of the welfare state, any of these things that are absolutely, indisputably true -- and you pull out the racist claim. Yet, when a clearly racist Rev. Wright starts spewing true hate speech, everyone wants to give him a pass. It is a horrible double stadard that discriminates against whites, in fact, against everyone who isn't black. If you watch the First 48 (which I do religiously) what you notice right away is that the people doing the killing are young black males. You cannot get away from this fact -- that these people have no respect for human life. So, if Buchanan wants to point this absolute fact, I'm not sure how you can criticize the man for it. I don't believe he has a racist bone in his body.
