Armstrong Williams Biggest Problem Is His Skin Color

[Vinnie From Indy]

Members of BushCo. Enterprises and their media bitches will happily burn a man of color if screws up and gets caught. Now, if he was fat assed, drug addicted, white boy that got caught doing something wrong, that would be a whole different ball of wax. If he was a Caucasian, pencil necked, baseball statistic spouting, columnist that got caught getting paid by Conrad Black to write stories without revealing it, that would no problemo. If he was a white, bible toting, hypocritical, piece of dung moralist that can't stop dumping millions into slot machines and cavorting with Vegas hookers, he would be salvageable. No, Armstrong's biggest problem with the revelation that they "showed him the money" and he took it, is that he has the wrong skin color. The conservatives are gonna hang this guy out to twist in the wind.

1. That's taking things a bit too far, but OK, it's your opinion...

...I just don't see the need, nor have I heard anything to suggest the race card should get thrown yet.

2. I thought conservatives were supporting him....

3. No, his biggest problem is that he's a greedy Republican asshole.

That's a common affliction that knows no color. If (when) a white guy gets busted for the same thing (and you know Williams wasn't the only one they paid to pimp their programs), they'll treat him like a leper, too. The RW apologists and talking heads know only one thing: blame somebody else, never WeeCowboy. If they pile on Williams it will not be because he's black, it will be because they want the incident to look like the fault of somebody other than BushCo. The RW pundits will blame Williams for taking the money, but they won't blame BushCo for offering or paying it.

4. Williams was wrong to accept the $

but Bushco offered the money, knowing and acknowledging on paper that Williams had a impact on minorities. That is playing the race card and Williams and Bushco played it.

5. I agree. I Think You Guys are Missing My Point

My point was that the Repug's won't protect this guy like they have Limbaugh, George Will or Bill Bennett.

6. yes they are...aren't they?

7. Thurmond created Williams

I'm still cycling on this and its implications.

8. No, his biggest ASSET was his skin color...

even a boob like Williams was able to see the lucrative potential for being an African-American shill for the right wing.

Let them "hang him out to twist in the wind", I have no pity for that piece of shit
