2. Man what a buch of jackasses

3. There should be an investigation to determine if Tony Snow....

ever had any connections with the covertly racist conservative group, "Council of Conservative Citizens".

4. racism is no longer a "big deal,"

yeah, if you're white!

[ClintonTyree]

5. Racism isn't a big deal to "Snow White"......

because he's never been the victim of it. I think Snow White's first assignment should be talking to the people of New Orleans, maybe get a feel for what THEY think! :grr: Now we have to put up with this moron everyday. Bush sure knows how to pick them, doesn't he? :eyes:

6. Now there's a man who can predict the past.

7. Has he ever had to deal with hostile questioning, or just the scripted...

shills they call "callers"?

I haven't said anything about this yet, but it seems to me it can only erode even more of their credibility to have made even more obvious their integration with the right wing media machine.

Tony Snow is nothing but a right wing media clown.

He can't handle the truth, nor scrutiny.

8. The Absurdity (and Consistency) of White Denial

The Absurdity (and Consistency) of White Denial

What Kind of Card is Race?

By TIM WISE

Recently, I was asked by someone in the audience of one of my speeches, whether or not I believed that racism--though certainly a problem--might also be something conjured up by people of color in situations where the charge was inappropriate. In other words, did I believe that occasionally folks play the so-called race card, as a ploy to gain sympathy or detract from their own shortcomings? In the process of his query, the questioner made his own opinion all too clear (an unambiguous yes), and in that, he was not alone, as indicated by the reaction of others in the crowd, as well as survey data confirming that the belief in black malingering about racism is nothing if not ubiquitous.

..........................................................

Nothing, absolutely nothing, has to do with race nowadays, in the eyes of white America writ large. But the obvious question is this: if we have never seen racism as a real problem, contemporary to the time in which the charges are being made, and if in all generations past we were obviously wrong to the point of mass delusion in thinking this way, what should lead us to conclude that now, at long last, we've become any more astute at discerning social reality than we were before? Why should we trust our own perceptions or instincts on the matter, when we have run up such an amazingly bad track record as observers of the world in which we live? In every era, black folks said they were the victims of racism and they were right. In every era, whites have said the problem was exaggerated, and we have been wrong.

9. 5..4..3..2..1..0! Launch!

I think Snow's tenure in the White House will be what we in the airline industry call "a quick turn-around." Like Keith Olberman said last night, they vetted Tony Snow as well as they vetted Bernie Kerick.
