Wow!...Scott is 'deeply religious', TeaPeople, and Black.......

He's a 3-fer!

From Wiki ,,, arrg, God answers prayers about debt ceilings! 20 dead kids? Not a word.

During the summer 2011 debate over raising the U.S. debt ceiling, Scott said that President Barack Obama could be impeached over the debt crisis. Scott supported the inclusion of a balanced budget constitutional amendment in the debt ceiling bill, and opposed compromise bills that did not include the amendment. Before voting "no" on the final compromise legislation, Scott and other first term conservatives prayed for guidance in a congressional chapel. Afterwards, Scott acknowledged he had received divine inspiration regarding his vote, and joined rest of the South Carolina congressional delegation in voting no on the measure

A no vote is a no vote,whether from DeMint or Scott. Same brand different flavor.

Is what you say what you mean or is it a disguise for your racism ?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome

Maybe the day will come when we quit looking to the status quo (the republicans and democrats) for leadership because as a nation we define insanity...

@ Rousseau SC

It's not so cute when the shoe is on the other foot is it? For 4 years you guys have bashed Obama as anything but a Christian but someone insult one of your own and liberals are now sick racists. Talk about hypocrisy.

Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome"

We're you referring to Obama's policies? Perhaps we'll get back to the number of people employed during Bush's last full month in office sometime during Obama's second term. According to the official government Bureau of Labor Statistics, the results are as follows;

Number of jobs at December 2008 = 134,379,000.

Number of jobs at November 2012 = 133,852,000 - a LOSS of 527,000 net jobs.

Oh, and let's look at the Debt (Source - Obama White House);

National Debt at the end of fiscal 2008 = $9.986 Trillion.

National Debt as of 12/13/12 = $16.370 Trillion, an increase of $6.384 Trillion (64%). And Obama (optimistically) projects that the Debt will be $20.374 Trillion at the end of his next term.

PS - Have a nice day.

This feisty poster has multiple accounts from the same IP address. It's a shame that a person would have to invent multiple alter-egos and post all day. This is truly a person with no life. My advice would be to get off the food stamps and get a real job. Then you have a chance of making something of your life. You know, a conservative.

Great!!!!!!!

Democrats are doing the impossible to defeat Republican African Americans in order to have more African America Democrats and wave their flag ofdiversity, Alan West lose against a white Democrat, Mia Love also lose against another white Democrat. However the nomination of Scott, this is one more step in the right direction where, African Americans don't hide their conservative values, no doubt racist democrats will cry aloud saying that Republicans are racist. Hypocrisy at the highest.

Larry,

Who do you think I am? I have bashed no one. I agree with Carlos above. Neither party is worth a crap. Both partioes are just a distraction set up by the oligarchy runni9ng this country. Both parties derive their power by spending money earned by others. The taxation system in this country is regressive as only 47.4 % of the federal taxation and even less of the state taxation comes from the income tax, the only porogressive tax and the only tax the media talks about.

Govt is too big. Dems and Repubs both pretend to care, but support its growth. they just want to be the ones spending the money.

Larry-2260635 "Roy, it was the Republicans that got this country into the financial mess it's in right now with spending on two wars after giving the wealthy a big tax break."

It's nice of you to absolve the Democrat controlled Congress for ignoring their oversight responsibility over Wall Street and the loose lending practices over Fannie May & Freddie Mac that was at the root of the financial collapse (Thanks Chris Dodd and Barney Frank).

By the way - over 80% of the Bush tax cuts went to the lower 90% of income earners. If it only helped the 'rich', then why is Obama desperately trying to avoid having ALL of the Bush tax cuts expire.

Feisty,

I usually DO simply skip over your comments for the reasons I cited.

Just thought I'd give it a shot and ask you a question I have been curious about for a while. No bench warming, no fan club; I'm sure your name just sticks in my head because it seems like 90% of the comment threads start off with the mix of you and negativity. If it were a different name, I probably would have asked them the same thing.

You didn't answer my question, so I'll just take that as my answer and be on my way.

Take care-

Roy Wilson, care to state FACTS on Democrats 'increasing spending,' as opposed to Republicans 'increasing spending?' I'd like to see a comparison, since you seem to have the 'facts.'

Hhmm...what does unmarried have to do with being a Senator. Interesting the only black Senator will be from the republican party.

So my question to Feisty is...who's party is really moving forward? I say neither, but that's just me.

Scott is a deeply religious Christian and is unmarried.

Hmm, I wonder if there are any women, or men, that are going to come out the closet on this guy.

I'll reserve judgement until I see what he does when in office.

workingpoor-2370498

Another stupid comment from a hypocrite liberal.

Scott supported the inclusion of a balanced budget constitutional amendment in the debt ceiling bill, and opposed compromise bills that did not include the amendment.

Afterwards, Scott acknowledged he had received divine inspiration regarding his vote, and joined rest of the South Carolina congressional delegation in voting no on the measure

===========

So in the end Congressman, now Senator, you're telling me, another Believer, that God spoke to you definitively about what to do within a debt-ceiling debate, while I've heard zero word from you on the definitive discussion the Lord had with you concerning this weekends past event?

Folk like you and the rhetoric you use to show a measure of elevation above the rest are what are wrong with this society. Please go and clean your 15 weapons of choice and recall to all of us your stories of grandeur about how you are so well equipped again to stop tragedy in its tracks.

Oh...and toughcrowd. I will answer for Feisty. Negativity sells. Reasonable conversation is boring. If you want people to respond (make more $$ blogging on newsvine) then you have to get them riled up.

This is the business of a troll. Say something inflammatory, and get others to join in. Most of us in the real world do not have the time to sit and do this all day.

Personally I find the banter amusing. I enjoy seeing the crazies on the left and right slug it out as well as the occasional person that jumps in with half a thought, trying to engage a professional blogger. Usually a lost cause as they have the resources at the ready to "back up" their opinion.

Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL "Go away Roy! I have NO desire to engage with a patholigical serial liar like yourself. I busted you last week for pulling things out of your ass!"

In your dreams. I usually give links to my sources, so merely disagreeing with you is not the same as being a 'pathological serial liar'. As I recall, our 'discussion' last week was about your claiming that we should be 'civil' in our posts, which made me laugh, considering some of your comments, such as;

'Your irrational hatred is rotting what ever might be left of a brain!'

'Reduced to an angry old man with urine running down his leg!'

'The *popcorn* is ready and waiting for this sh!t show! lol'

I have no problem with you ignoring my comments - merely put me on 'Ignore'. As for who to believe, I'll let others decide who is more 'credible'.

Have a nice day.

chilled

Wow!...Scott is 'deeply religious', TeaPeople, and Black.......

He's a 3-fer!

In the Black community we would call this Goof a oreo cookie,

you know, blacks on the outside and white cream on the inside.

Repubs now have their token black man. So their solution to pay for 2 wars on a credit card is to call all Dems racists. That is not a reasonable solution .

Red, allen west was as bad as de mint. Totally devoid of reason. Leader of sheep.

We know the game you right wingers are playing when you call those who oppose Scott racist. If you can hang the mantle of racism on either liberals or blacks, you can justify your racism. It let's you feel a little less guilty about it. It allows you to deflect charges of racism. But it doesn't work.

Well, Jamie R, being a lib, you are automatically an expert in playing the race card. Unfortuneately, you libs can only dish it out; when it comes to taking it, you're not worth a damn. And oh, by the way, I feel absolutely NO guilt at all.

@ Feisty (and the rest who think government is the answer), As usual, anyone who doesn't believe that government is a cure-all, believes in personal responsibility, religion, is a "tea party nut"!

America, thanks to liberalism, has lost its moral fiber and is a country in decline, simple as that!

Sure sounds like a large number of you Democrat supporters are quite racist. If a black man has differing views from yours he's an "Oreo cookie" or a "tea party nut." How forward of you. Oh, and for Roselle, Il Obama cheerleader... LMAO!

soazDan

Trust me Feisty, you have no fans in your club.

That's true, we have air-conditioners instead. Nice place with a great bar.

rousseau and all residents of SC.. your GOV has appointed a very radical right wing conservative.. he himself is a racisit.. he is against whites and against any legislation that would help get this country out of BUSH43's mess

your other senator is GAY

now that's a nice mix for a very conservative racist state that is full of homophobes

and remember it was the REPUBLICAN party during the entire campaign the made racial slurs that were all untrue.. the very conservative reps are and always have been hypocrites and bigots and racists

I find it very interesting that some, Roselle, pigotry, critisize so many on here for bringing the hate when they are some of the first to do the same thing. Go figure! Of course, if either of them actually lived in South Carolina like I do then their opinion might really mean something. Instead it's just more hot air adding to the ozone.

HEINOUS is the only word that comes to mind. Appoint the first black Senator from our state, only he represents only the interests of Tea Party whites and has no backing from the black community. We may be the most screwed up state in the Union.

Oh, and by the way, I live here too!

spider ...

Well, Jamie R, being a lib, you are automatically an expert in playing the race card. Unfortuneately, you libs can only dish it out; when it comes to taking it, you're not worth a damn. And oh, by the way, I feel absolutely NO guilt at all.

Being a liberal I take great offense at your classifying all of us as racists. Grow up, your comments aren't worth a damn when all they do is try to inflame. For the rest of you spewing about liberalism, I'd suggest you look the word up. Those of us that have had to sit back and watch the Republican party ruin this country over the years are fed up with you. The party of pale, male, and stale with your icons of hate (McCain, Ted Nugent, etc.) disgust me. Liberals are for moving this country forward.

And by the by, you ignorant losers, Feisty is female and she has red hair and is a friend of mine. I enjoy her posts and thoughts. Numerous imitation accounts are created by other viners using her name. Go look at the banned list sometime (of course that may be too difficult for the majority of you.)

Fantomdog "Roy Wilson, care to state FACTS on Democrats 'increasing spending,' as opposed to Republicans 'increasing spending?'"

Here are the FACTS - Spending Budget are set by Congress, not the President;

Republican Congress under Clinton (1995-2000) = $327 Billion

Republican Congress under Bush 2 (2001 - 2006) = $644 Billion

Democratic Congress under Bush/Obama (2007-2012) = $1,141 Billion

Its not that democrat supporters are racist, its the fringe liberal/progressive wing of that party.

Hmmmm, interesting observation but why is it when conservatives disagree with Obama's policies, we're called racists, yet when liberals disagree with black conservatives, its just about the policy. Because liberals are flaming hypocrites, that's why. I know and I think most conservatives know who the TRUE racists are. They're always the ones bringing up race because that's all they see.

Why Democrats react in such a way against a conservative African American? It is simple, he is out of the plantation, he is free and he wants freedom for all. The same is for immigrants from the south of the border , Democrats want to keep the border open welcoming more illegals , so they maintain captives the " Latino voters" "with promises of new immigration laws and more benefits for their illegal relatives or friends. Anybody who is not Democrat is"not Latino enough " or is attacked for their values and religion.

Caesar Augustus-

Its not that democrat supporters are racist, its the fringe liberal/progressive wing of that party.

Democrats are controlled by the radical left wing , puppets of the unions and George Soros.

Scott acknowledged he had received divine inspiration regarding his vote...

In a reality-based world that's called "hearing voices in your head".

It amazes me that Americans would call a politician that believes it is totally irresponsible to spend way more than the country takes in to be a 'nut'! I would hate to inform you (bacause obviously you do not live in the real world) that every American household has to live within their means or face the consequesnces. Yet our government believes they can just spend wahtever they want to spend and borrow the money (from the lilkes of communist China) and rack up a 16 trillion dollar tab! And both parties did it. It isn't just one party. They are both culpable in creating this mess. Wake up from your dream!

@Feisty: As with many posters here, "Roy Wilson" has demonstrated a remarkable history of colossal and almost indestructible missives, entitled to instant and unquestioning acceptance by all who read them, as, at best, gross exaggerations, and mostly, out and out lies. No poster has yet been more consistently committed to, by the setting of words, illustrating the sufferings of a peculiar mental aberration upon which common sense and basic logic can and will be murdered by the stroke of a pen. Mr. "Roy Wilson" is a person of insufferable quality. Regards Ma'am

redvirginia... seems you missed all the racial slurs made by republicans and supported b y FAUX views during the campaign..

he's not an american. he's Nigerian, he's a food stamp president, no birth certificate.. he really isn't black, he's a muslim.. he has been called that famous N word .. and all this by republicans..

we all know Scott's true political position..and it ain't pretty.. also he is a racist himself and disregards white folks.. and it's funny that his own people reject him..so now all you folks that denigrated our POTUS are upset with the absolute truth..by the way SC residents you have a teabagger in the senate plus you have a homo

Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL

Once again, your memory is faulty. My original comment that started the discussion last week was about you claiming that our comments should be 'civil', which elicited a laugh from me because of your habit of making comments like those I listed above, which would get you banned from most sites under the conduct code. The comment about you being 'banned' was based on a comment from someone else.

Do you deny making the comments?

By the way - My FACTS are typically backed up from official government sources, but your 'opinions' are what are 'less than credible'.

By the way - is what Bobster-1557895 true? "This feisty poster has multiple accounts from the same IP address. It's a shame that a person would have to invent multiple alter-egos and post all day. This is truly a person with no life. My advice would be to get off the food stamps and get a real job. Then you have a chance of making something of your life. You know, a conservative."

Fiesty, you are way off base! Get a clue!

Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL

Great!

Replace one tea party favorite "nut" with another...

You do understand how a representative government works and that a Senator from SC is supposed to represent South Carolina right? If that's what they wanted before why would you expect them to get anything else now? Only progressives believe every politician should fit their own ideological mold attacking everyone who doesn't even if it in no way affects them personally. For example someone from Illinois whining about the selection of a Senator from South Carolina. How pathetically sad.

Mac Forrester

We certainly can (and do) disagree about many issues of government policy, but if you want to call me a 'liar', show me some of the FACTS that I posted that were 'mostly, out and out lies'.

Since the figures I post are very specific, typically with government links, this should be quite easy for you - if you're correct.

Liberals haven't made no complaint about Scott being black.

The complaint is that he is at least as conservative as DeMint, is another Teabagger who doesn't seem to listen (or vote) with reason, and listens to God to help him with his vote.

I'd kind of prefer he listen to his constituents, but none of that is racist in the least.

I just don't like another nut-job placeholder running this country. I want ALL of them to work towards solutions. This guy probably isn't going to do that and it's not because he's black.

LOL!

Roy,

I don't pay enough attention to know if you lie or not, but you're definitely WRONG about the Congress debt issue.

Since Reagan, Congress has NOT outspent Republican presidents.

http://zfacts.com/p/57.html

Now, Democratic Congresses went along with crazy Republican spending, which makes it their fault too, but you can't lay all that spending at the feet of Democrats. That's just factually incorrect.

Feisty, I'm also of the belief that you are a man. With a gutter mouth like you have it would surprise me if I were wrong. A lady keeps her composure, you never do. Your most probably an overweight old man who is paid by MoveOn.Org that spends the day on a computer eating potato chips all day.

Illinois, the first state that will declare bankruptcy, then asking all of "us" to bail your state out. The answer is NO!

SmBus's quote "I don't pay enough attention to know if you lie or not, but you're definitely WRONG about the Congress debt issue. Since Reagan, Congress has NOT outspent Republican presidents"

Mr. Bus, Congress allocates the money, not the President. Congress controls the spending. And for God's sake people, we are a republic not a democracy.

Stephen Colbert? He is a comedian who probably knows nothing about politics. Y'all complain about Reagan being a second rate actor but Colbert is the same thing.

Geex, could you try to use a fact ot two here? I am a white SC Democrat, Scott does not represent the black community and never has, that's the view of the vast majority of the black community here. As a former precinct chairman I know their opinions well. They used to call men like him "Uncle Tom's" and in his case I have no problem using that term because he has earned it. And sure there are probably a few hundred blacks in this state that support him!

As for immigration you neglect to mention that this administrations deportation number for illegals far exceed that of the Bush Administration. And laughable to say the borders are open. Hispanics are not stupid however. They know who cares about them and who has a record of continual discriminatory policies towards minorities. That's why they voted for Obama in record numbers.

Once again the true bigots of the left come out.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome!

Are you saying the tea-party has actually gotten their agenda passed? When did this happen? When was the last time we actually decreased spending and balanced the budget? Hint It was under Ike. The tea-party agenda hasn't been tried for fifty years but the progressive agenda has been tried over and over and over andover and over and over and over and over again. If insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome progressivism is insanity.

Grrrrrreat. . .Haley appoints a Bible thumping Teatard with the last name "Scott", as if we don't already have enough of those mouth breathers wearing empty suits on The Hill.

redvirginia... seems you missed all the racial slurs made by republicans and supported b y FAUX views during the campaign..

he's not an american. he's Nigerian, he's a food stamp president, no birth certificate.. he really isn't black, he's a muslim.. he has been called that famous N word .. and all this by republicans..

You are full of garbage. He is the antitesis of Ideal African American from your plantatio.

Timothy Eugene "Tim" Scott (born September 19, 1965) is the U.S. Representative for South Carolina's 1st congressional district. Elected in November 2010 to the 112th Congress, he is the first Republican African-American Representative from South Carolina since 1901.

he has been called that famous N word .. and all this by republicans..

Scott is also one of the two members of the 2010 freshman class chosen to sit at the House Republican leadership table. Scott, a fiscal and cultural conservative, ran for Congress on a platform of reducing federal spending and taxes. He was endorsed by Tea Party groups and other prominent Republicans.

he's not an american. he's Nigerian,

Scott was born in Charleston, South Carolina to Ben Scott, Sr. and Frances Scott, a nursing assistant. His parents were divorced when he was 7, and he grew up in poverty under the care of his mother who worked 16-hour days.

he's a muslim.

Scott attended Presbyterian College from 1983 to 1984, and graduated from Charleston Southern University in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science.

In 1997, Scott supported having the Ten Commandments posted outside the county council chambers, saying it would remind members of the absolute rules they should follow. The county council then unanimously approved the display and Scott nailed a King James version of the Commandments to the wall. Shortly after, the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State sued. After an initial court ruling said the display was unconstitutional, the council settled to avoid accruing more legal fees. Regarding the costs of the suit, Scott said, "Whatever it costs in the pursuit of this goal (of displaying the Commandments) is worth it.

Scott served on the Council from 1995 until 2008, becoming Chairman in 2007.

Backcountry ....

But clearly you aren't "offended" enough to prevent you from doing the exact same thing to others. I believe hypocrisy is the term and it makes your whining all the more ridiculous

I insulted the POST as usual, you and your ilk insult the POSTERS. BIG difference.

There's nothing quite like Liberal Hate for a Black Man who won't stay on the Progressive Plantation!

Feisty & Mac Forrester

One of the advantages of having Obama reelected is that he will clearly demonstrate that Liberal policies do not work. When the National Debt increases from the $9.986 Trillion at the end of fiscal 2008 to nearly $25 Trillion at the end of fiscal 2016 (Obama's last year), and the Interest on the National Debt devastates the futures of our children and grandchildren, and the economy is still lethargic after 8 years of Obama's policies, I hope the American voters are able to 'connect the dots', in spite of the 'Blame the Republicans' rhetoric of Obama.

I need to go to work now - getting ready to move to Costa Rica with my family, but I will check back later for replies to my Post #1.69.

Bye - and 'Have a nice day'.

@SmBusOwnerinNY

The complaint is that he is at least as conservative as DeMint, is another Teabagger who doesn't seem to listen (or vote) with reason, and listens to God to help him with his vote.

I'd kind of prefer he listen to his constituents...

So liberals are complaining that he is exactly like the person his constituents elected to begin with???? Somehow you believe that is a fair criticism?

SmBusOwnerinNY
One of the reasons I use government sources for my data is credibility. Quoting biased private sources is not impressive, since private opinions can back up any opinion with 'tweaked data'.

Get real. Bye

Rosseau: If you are going to keep using the word "racist," at least lean how to spell it. Or is "rascist" just another example of some of that fine SC education?

Since senator-appointee Scott claims to speak to god, be advised that I did speak to god this morning. Her name is Aretha Gonzales. She is a black-Hispanic female, bi-sexual, and hates the Tea Party.

@Layton-3733410

I insulted the POST as usual, you and your ilk insult the POSTERS. BIG difference.

ROTFLMAO!!! So when you said- "you ignorant losers," - you weren't referring to people just posts they had made?? Gotcha! LOL! Is there anything you can't con yourself into believing??

Stonghorse, tiredof osers and rest of you calling the liberals racist....

What, WHAT have you seen among US that ties his race into it???

We see him as a RIGHT WING NUT JOB. We, WE, do not like the way RIGHT WING NUT JOBS govern.

It has NOTHING to do with his RACE.

Yeah Fiesty, the same insanity statement can be made for re-electing your savior Obama. In a few months you'll also be suffering the ravages of his agenda.

Roy,

What's biased about it? The stats zfacts uses are the same. They source them.

You can say the "number of employed Americans in the last month of GWB presidency.... blah blah" to cherry pick data that ignores the fact that literally millions of boomers are retiring, and that the recession was in full pit-of-despair through June of 2009, but hey, that's picking one data point. Everybody knows you have to look at more than one data point to determine a trend.

I thing the way zfacts presents the data graphically it very informative.

You just don't want to believe the facts.

Roy Wilson:

Your 'facts' about the budget and unemployment at 1.27:

Number of jobs at December 2008 = 134,379,000.

Number of jobs at November 2012 = 133,852,000 - a LOSS of 527,000 net jobs.

You think Obama was able to influence the budget or jobs a month after his election and almost 2 months before he actually took office? Every president is alloted about 6 months to define policies and an opportunity to actually see them have any effect. What were the number of jobs at around June or July of 2009?

Bush/Cheney NEVER put the wars in the budget. Obama did, and still does.

Backcountry,

We didn't like DeMint either.

SC is free to choose, but WE didn't complain because he was black. You guys projected that "racism" onto us, when none of us said anything about it.

ROY WILSON-336103

One of the advantages of having Obama reelected is that he will clearly demonstrate that Liberal policies do not work.

I would hardly consider that an advantage considering he had proven that beyond any shadow of a doubt after his first 4 years. People bought all of the excuses and accepted his shift of the blame to anyone and everyone else so what makes you think they'll figure it out after another 4 years? Add to that the reality that there was a "spend like there's no tomorrow" President in the WH preceding him and it's hard to believe people are suddenly going to get it after 16 years of incompetency.

Check Scott's affiliation with the controversial Militarist "Minutemen Project"!

Feisty the racist.

SmBusOwnerinNY

Stonghorse, tiredof osers and rest of you calling the liberals racist....

What, WHAT have you seen among US that ties his race into it???

You guys projected that "racism" onto us, when none of us said anything about it.

First off, I didn't do anything of the sort! I despise the constant cries of racism and believe it is little more than a pathetic attempt to shut people up.

What I can't help but wonder is if you are so outspoken when some liberals do the very same thing anytime anyone dares to question or criticize the President because that happens here ALL the time?? Somehow I doubt it. Or were you about to critisize the liberal on post #1.76 who calls him an "Uncle Tom" (so much for your "when none of us said anything about it" stance)

redvirginia:

maxgiver was referring to the accusations against Obama by Republicans. I think you may be the only one who didn't catch on.

This appointment must drive the Bob Byrd wing of the Democrat Party crazy!!!!

All those registered Democrats who voted for convicted felon Keith Judd instead of President Obama in the WV primary. I wonder why they did that? Hmmm.

Democrats cannot stand Republicans who "look like" Tim Scott.

Congratulations, Senator Scott! A great American!!

Can you say, 'Uncle Tom'?

Democrats are always into identity politics, right? Defining people by skin color and ethnicity?

Well, chew on this, Dems:

One Black Senator in the U.S. Senate - Republican - Scott

Three Hispanic Senators - 2 Republicans - Cruz, Rubio

Two Hispanic Governors - 2 Republicans - Martinez, Sandoval

One Black Conservative Supreme Court Justice - Scalia

Love our "diversity" !!!!

Boy oh boy! The Tea Party team of trolls in out in force today. A note to Feisty ( you are having a battle of wits with totally unarmed individuals) I see this is oviously the second string of the GOP pot. It takes a real genius TPer to see racism in Feisty's comments. The man is a right wing nutjob, that is not racist. Your other senator is also a right wing nutjob, he is white so I guess that makes us progressives, liberals, and feminists all bi-racist.

Feisty: Always remember you have one he!! of a huge liberal fan club. Ten minutes to kill i will zip through just to read yours. Peace ☺

The only way to silence or eliminate progressive pandering by Feisty "Red in the Head" or Pigotry is thru the use of toilet paper. One is the bi-product of a very rich lunch and the other of a very big dinner, however both have a foul and strongly similar odor.

Back,

It depends what they say.... I don't think any of it has to do with race, most of the time, in either direction. People DO seem to be sensitive about it, so it comes into the discussion more often than it's warranted.

For this discussion, I didn't see anybody on our side bring up race until your side brought it in. Sorry to lump you in with them, if you didn't do it.

I don't identify by race, but plenty of people do, for example, how's this for irony?

Arthur says:

Democrats are always into identity politics, right? Defining people by skin color and ethnicity?

...and then proceeds to list a bunch of Republicans by race/ethnicity.

[PS, Arthur, it's SC Justice Thomas that's black ;- ) even though those two (Scalia and Thomas) may as well be the same person!]

There's nothing quite like Liberal Hate for a Black Man who won't stay on the Progressive Plantation!

"Waaah! They disagree with a guy who happens to be black or a gay who's beliefs are against theirs; they must be racist or homophobic." Gee, how convenient it must be to throw these accusations at anyone who disagrees with you. Quit using your safe, pc terms and labels as ammunition for what could be a legitimate debate. So pathetic.

Hey Arthur,

All those registered Democrats who voted for convicted felon Keith Judd instead of President Obama in the WV primary. I wonder why they did that? Hmmm.

Congratulations, you found racism in West Virginia.

Democrats cannot stand Republicans who "look like" Tim Scott.

I've heard at least as many complaints about John Boehner being orange. I think you're missing something. Something about comprehension, along with a little projection....

Roy,

My advice would be to get off the food stamps and get a real job. Then you have a chance of making something of your life. You know, a conservative

Ok Roy, so you saying Only conservatives work and make money. You just prove what Feisty been saying, another right wing idiot who don't know anything. People like u make me sick, you think all liberals are on food stamps and don't work. You better check yourself buddy, its obvious you havent been to those Southern Red states, plenty of low income red neck conservatives on Welfare.

BTW, if you have a job so much then why are you on FR all the time. Hmmmmm, c'mon mr working man.

@ Roy Wilson: Show you huh? Let's consider your 3ed paragraph in your post #"1.34". The year the bush tax cuts took effect, your statement is probably correct. Then began the outrageous increases in the upper wealth accumulation and the steady decrease in both employment and depressed wages. Amounts per earner then began to increase dramatically for the high earners, and decrease for the lower earners which collectively changes your stated claim.

Many, many instances I catch you serving false innuendo, cutting CBO sums where they might happen to be, or have been, then adding or subtracting the projected cost of some proposal, and doing so absent the proposals overall benefits in reducing costs in other areas. I could go on and on here. Hell, you been doing this for the last 2 or 3 years that I know about. Don't know why you'd be surprised when someone catches you now and then, and calls you on it.

While I was not denigrating your intelligence, I do stand by what I said about your lack of devotion to veracity.

Rousseau SC, before you start throwing around the word racist, I suggest you learn how to spell it first.

Yo 'gettough'; fiesty is right on - when the right wing wacko's do something positive then maybe it will be reported. How anyone can ignore that the mess we're in right now was not started originally by Ronnie Raygun and perpetuated by Dubya is the absolute definition of insanity. The conservative nutjobs are still pushing the same agenda hoping for different results.

Tiredoflosers

Once again the true bigots of the left come out.

Forget you man. You must not live down here. It isn't that much different than the early 60's in some parts of this state.

The only bigots are Scott and his TP cohorts and Scott is bigoted against his own race.

If you think you are going to stifle us by crying reverse racism you aren't thinking straight. Not going to happen. I have walked through at least a dozen Tea party rallies and stood at a Palin rally in the past few years. You aren't fooling anyone. Amazing what people will say to a lily white Southern gentleman without thinking. They automatically assume you believe what they believe.

Okay, we have 2 Repub. Senators from SC, both are single I wonder how long it will be before they're bedding down together. Oh, that's right Sen Scott is a deeply religious man but I think I've read about that being true of some other Repub.'s who were disgraced and forced to resign from office. Oh, I know the Dem's have had theirs also but the Repubs all proclaim they're holier than thou.

The Robert Byrd wing of the Democrat Party is in full force today!!

Anything to discredit Rep. Tim Scott.

Hmmm, I wonder why...

OK, good start! Now if he can just manage to keep his hands in his own pockets?

@SmBusOwnerinNY

Back,

For this discussion, I didn't see anybody on our side bring up race until your side brought it in

Post number 3 refers to the man as an "oreo cookie black". I guess you just weren't looking too hard.

My advise would be to speak for only yourself and stop pretending that like minded people couldn't possibly be the same types of ass-holes that you are complaining about.

and btw- it isn't "my" side; I'm not a republican.

Roy,

"By the way - is what Bobster-1557895 true?"

It's true Roy. She (Or most likely "He") has several user names and posts continually to pat herself / himself on the back. I own a software company and one of my guys exposed he / she. Pretty sad when you r posts are so outrageous that you must create multiple user names to agree with yourself. I should have wrote down the other names but did not. But you can tell by the posting style which ones are her / him.

Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL

I am SICK to DEATH of you conspiracy nuts lying your asses off with impunity!

I'm sure you are. Doesn't it just suck when non-progressives get away with that @!$%#? Of course you can always just quit and find a new job. lol

I love this kind of story , it brings out the RACISM of all the LNC's here (Left Nut Chavez's) , and then this feisty dude gets his jocky shorts all in a bind and starts with his personal attacks (without impunity of course)

OP ...started with a post denegrading a black man...yep , Racist

chilled @ #1.1 "Wow!...Scott is 'deeply religious', TeaPeople, and Black......." , yep... Racist

there have been a bunch of oure libby racist posts that have been "removed" and don't show up as "deleted" I can only guess that the moderators are making a faux attempt to police this thread , and "yes" I saw the first 10 or 15 posts after this feisty dudes OP and there were several racist poasts that are gone now , that is why the lefties are in actuality "faux tolerants"

moshuluu @ #1.39 "Hmm, I wonder if there are any women, or men, that are going to come out the closet on this guy.'...Racist AND Homophobe

Jeff @ #1.45 "In the Black community we would call this Goof a oreo cookie,you know, blacks on the outside and white cream on the inside."...PURE Racist and possibly a Black Racist ,which we know are the worst

On the Edge @ #1.46 "Repubs now have their token black man."...yep Racist (not to mention bone head when it comes to "unfunded wars" , to stupid to know that a Demostooge got us into WW1 and borrowed money to wage it by creating the FED , and those of us who work are STILL paying that off)

Jamie @ #1.47 ...uhhh , the Democrat party has ALWAYS been the party of racism , check your history books , the real ones not the faux tolerant public school indoctrination guides you have been subjected to.

voxrationis @ #1.55 " only he represents only the interests of Tea Party whites and has no backing from the black community" ...yep , Racist , I spent alot of time in SC , mostly Charleston , and what I am pretty sure you meant say was "this black boy don't know his place!"

Layton @#1.56 ", Feisty is female and she has red hair" ... prove it...and I haven't found a soul that gives a hoot what you post , oh well

we could go on with the obvious racism of the LNC's , but who really has the time , dinners ready

Navy Pilot (highly doubtful)

"The man is a right wing nutjob, that is not racist. Your other senator is also a right wing nutjob, he is white so I guess that makes us progressives, liberals, and feminists all bi-racist."

YES....you are plain ordinary racists and "faux tolerants" , thanks for pointing it out

SmBusOwnerinNY "Roy, What's biased about it? The stats zfacts uses are the same. They source them."

When a Liberal site begins their 'analysis' with "Conservatives are embarassed by the way Reagan and the Bushes ran the debt up and out of control.", then I have to consider them biased. By the way - Here is the TRUTH about the Debt increases under Reagan (who supposedly ran the Debt 'out of control') and Clinton (who supposedly controlled the Debt), and Bush 2 vs Obama;

The total increase in the National Debt in the 8 fiscal years under Reagan was $1.692 Trillion.

The total increase in the National Debt in the 8 fiscal years under Clinton was a nearly identical $1.627 Trillion. You can verify this on the Treasury Department National Debt web site.

The total increase in the National Debt in the 8 fiscal years under Bush2 was $4.312 Trillion.

The total increase in the National Debt since the end of fiscal 2008 has been $6.384 Trillion in only about half the time.

By the way - 'zfacts' should learn proper spelling and grammar. A source for information is a 'site', not a cite, and 'embarassment' is more correctly spelled 'embarrassment'.

Arthur66: 'One Black Conservative Supreme Court Justice - Scalia'

Are you thinking about Clarence Thomas, who might just be a bit blacker than Scalia who is of Italian descent? Not that I should point out that your lack of consciousness might affect how credible your post might be viewed.

But since you mentioned Scalia, let's look at his intellectual capabilities...

Scalia: “Mere factual innocence is no reason not to carry out a death sentence properly reached” This guy is on the most important court in the land!?!?!

And another Scalia quote: “I don't like interjecting us into a battle between the two political branches,” Antonine, there are THREE branches of government one of which you are supposed to understand the function of: to balance the other two...

This creep will go down as the worst ever to serve in his office along with his buddy Dubbie.

blearyeyed "Roy Wilson: Every president is alloted about 6 months to define policies and an opportunity to actually see them have any effect."

Obama's $860 Billion 'Stimulus' Bill was passed by Congress on February 13, 2009 - about 3 weeks after Obama took office .

And yet Obama still tries to 'Blame Bush' for the huge increase in the spending Deficit for 2009.

Jason797 "Roy, 'My advice would be to get off the food stamps and get a real job. Then you have a chance of making something of your life. You know, a conservative'...........Ok Roy, so you saying Only conservatives work and make money."

I guess comprehension is not one of your 'long suits'. That was a comment by another blogger - I just repeated it as part of a question. And based on what Bobster-1557895 says at Post #1.116, perhaps it's true that Feisty uses several 'user names' - one to make outrageous comments, and others to agree with herself, pretending that she is reasonable.

Mac Forrester "@ Roy Wilson: Show you huh? Let's consider your 3ed paragraph in your post #"1.34". The year the bush tax cuts took effect, your statement is probably correct."

So your 'proof' that I am a 'liar' is to say 'your statement is probably correct'?

The rest of your comments are just your usual 'spin'. I'm still waiting for the 'proof' that my FACTS are 'mostly, out and out lies'.

My FACTS are correct, as you will see if you do any research - It's my interpretation that we obviously disagree about, and I'm happy to debate those issues with you - if you are civil (and you are not actually Feisty in disguise). lol

Bye - have to do something 'constructive' with the rest of my day.

if you are civil (and you are not actually Feisty in disguise).

Where did you get the impression you are worthy of civility, boy?

I don't suffer liars & fools like yourself lightly OR worthy for that matter...

Same goes for the douche-bag Bobster, who like you, believe you talk a good game, yet when push comes to shove, you run like scalded cats...

How many times do I have to ask you nitwits to either PUT UP OR STFU?

Bye - have to do something 'constructive' with the rest of my day.

Like what? Beating your wife?

As you said... LOL!

However, I do so LOVE making you look like the dumb@!$%# you are...

from this Feisty dude:

"However, I do so LOVE making you look like the dumb@!$%# you are..."

and this bit of "critical thinking" :

"Like what? Beating your wife?"

I'd call that a personal attack which is against the COH , but yet he seems to be one of the moderators "untouchables" allowed to vomit his vitriol at anyone with "impunity" , he must have won the "biggest package" contest

pretty sure his breath stinks...

No surprise. Feisty and Pigotry are the poster child of Liberals. All hate, racist, and no answers for anything except blame blame blame. You two are the prime example of Liberals and are COMPLETE FAILURES.

@Roy Wilson#1.125: You use facts (parsed) to support parsed interpretations. When one does such, one has committed to the interpretation, prior to the underlying facts, and will tweak factuality to suit. I've watched you do this more times than I've got fingers and toes, and I've got all of mine. You're a partisan, as am I, but, I think it irresponsible of you to lead the lesser minded into believing some of your quite nonsensical, and one sided conclusions. I, like you, have much work. I simply don't have the time to go back into my files and pick something I have called you on in the past just to settle an argument. Many ways to prevaricate, and you're tolerable well at all of 'em. Innuendo, omission, nuance, and especially illusory meaning, seem always to be your handiest credentials.

@Roy Wilson: Addendum: Was doing some other work while writing my post #1.130 above. Last line was meant to read " Innuendo, omission, nuance, and all sorts of illusory meaning, seem always to be your handiest credentials". Excuse my redundancy there.

I assure you I'm not "Feisty" in disguise. No one could get away with such. That lady is a WOMAN! She makes "Pretty" jealous.

Well roy, good luck to you. If I didn't have kids here or a little more money, I'd leave myself. I have a good friend in Nicaragua. He says it's really nice there.

Anyone for a cup of Tea with a Lemon, this is sour hogwash !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why has feisty been allowed to repeatedly hijack the vine and set a malignant tone.

owen

because you can as long as you tow the Soros/Alinsky/Chavez line , and the LNAH's don't care if you know it

Mac something

" lesser minded"?...leave your family out of it , they can't help it

oh , and you talking about other posters? , quite a stupid thing to do after posting something like this about taxing the "rich":

"@alan_static#2.1: I like 150%. Can't get that I'd settle for 100%. Get it all, have someone dig holes around the country, and hide it. Then pay people to hunt it. Once they find it, back charge what was paid 'em to hunt it, and give 'em whats left. Perilous times "alan". Perilous!"

that's about the stupidist sh!t a left nut Soros lover ever posted , keep up the good work , as you make the case for the ignorance of left quite nicely. I guess your obvious youngness does give you a little bit of an "excuse"

Some of you have it all wrong about Fiesty and Piglet. They are not racists. They can't be, because they support President Obama. The reason they hate Rep, soon to be Sen, Scott isn't because he is black, but because he is conservative. They have no time to review or understand his positioins on the important issues of the day. They just KNOW that if he is not a Democrat, he must be evil. The basis for this belief is President Obama, the DNC, ThinkProgress.org, Huffington Post, and all of the ultra liberal media sites say so and they would never lie!

Not considering the last election..........

I don't know Rep. Scott's heritage but yeah that's possible. I guess we'll see when he stands for reelection if the people of South Carolina agree with you.

A black republican can be called a racial slur; if this was about Obama the secret service would be knocking on prog1's door.

It's really difficult to make that statement stick when 95% of all black voters voted for Obama.

Rousseau, what the heck is a "rascist?" Racist I understand.

Racist liberal.

An Oreo cookie? Let a republican say something like this about a black and all forms of slander will break out. How do the democrats/liberals/progressives think what they say about a person of color can't be deemed racist? This is racist in it's purest form.

Yes democrats are racist. Post #3 proves it.

Yeah Obama "the oreo cookie" president took all that 100 million of white companies money to throw his inauguration party huh?

I see, if a black man is a liberal hes your savior...if a black man is a republican he is a oreo cookie.... LOL

The word of the day is "Pathetic"....

Ummm edgarw, for pure 'racisim,' one only needs to hear GOP talking heads, O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh (who referred to Obama as an oreo several times on his show...Or-Bam-eo).

Wow, nice way to be a tolerant liberal, racist!

Are Republicans actually naive enough to think appointing an oreo cookie black will help them cultivate the minority vote.

No, we just pick the most competent for the job and let the chips fall where they land.

An oreo cookie is a treat given to kids with milk. Did she post a cookie to the senate? Or is that just a racist remark?

If you really want to see how alive and well racism is in America, just Google: Racist comments FB Twitter. You'll get an eye full and a mind full of full of insight and understanding as to the who of racism in our society today. To the individual above who claims that no one dares talk about President Obama in racist terms, you, especially, need to read those comments. Racists disgust me.

Hey Matthew: I thought all you right wing, christian conservative TPers were anti science, didn't believe in evolution or global warming. But yet you seem to acknowledge the existence of gravity because you claim that you let the chips fall. By the way, the saying is "let the chips fall where they may." Not "land."

I keep reading that Democrat voters are smarter than Republican voters. I also keep reading that beacause 60% of white males vote Republican that the Republican party is a stale white male racist party. I also know that 95% of black voters vote democrat. So why not look at college board scores for an answer, and assuming that you will all blame economic factors, I grabbed that data first from the following source: The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, on line today December 17,2012.

But there is a major flaw in the thesis that income differences explain the racial gap. Consider these three observable facts from The College Board's 2005 data on the SAT:

• Whites from families with incomes of less than $10,000 had a mean SAT score of 993. This is 129 points higher than the national mean for all blacks.

• Whites from families with incomes below $10,000 had a mean SAT test score that was 61 points higher than blacks whose families had incomes of between $80,000 and $100,000.

• Blacks from families with incomes of more than $100,000 had a mean SAT score that was 85 points below the mean score for whites from all income levels, 139 points below the mean score of whites from families at the same income level, and 10 points below the average score of white students from families whose income was less than $10,000.

look at how many dumbazz left nut Chavez's voted for this ignorant racists post , hahaha , the democrat party has ALWAYS been the party of racism , not to mention stupidity

what ALL left nut racists here on this post meant to say:

"this black boy don't know his place!"

oneiron followed by numbers (pretty stupid tag)

what is gravity?...in your words please , not copy and paste from the left nut bible Wikidumbassness

Is it possible she picked him because he is qualified.

No.

Mike,

You got the right guy in Obama then. He buys the black vote with that $600 a month or whatever in welfare, food stamps, project housing, etc.

TO THE GOP; WANT THE BLACK VOTE? THEN ADDRESS AND SUPPORT THE ISSUES THAT CONCERN US INSTEAD OF PICKING TOKEN BLACK CANDIDATES.

Quit dividing America with your blatant racism.... these issues you speak of concern Caucasians, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians,and EVERY CITIZEN of AMERICA.

Black vote, white vote, hispanic vote, womens vote... how much more divisive can you be in your very sad and very uneducated post....and liberal agenda.

A black man is a republican.... OMFG THE WORLD IS OVER! THAT CANNOT BE... ALL BLACKS ARE LIBERALS. NO BLACK CAN BE A REPUBLICAN UNLESS HE IS A TOKEN BLACK MAN FOR THE WHITE AGENDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <---- this is what you really should have typed.

Bob,

Now if you would prove your info. And show us some facts as to how you got it all so. Or are you just a loud mouth hill billy from SC thats collecting that $600 a month and thats your proof? And you just had to throw that out because the south is mad because Obama won on not the craker?

You mean like 15% unemployment in the Black community? Or 7% high school graduation rate in some inner city schools? Your so called hero President went to one of the most expensive PRIVATE schools in Hawaii and then acts like he cares about you and your children while fighting vouchers so that inner city kids could get the same education he was awarded by his Grand parents. Ya, he really cares about you Chumps(Malcolm X) The Dumbocrats have really done a lot of good for the black community. Keep thinking that while you sit on your ass with out a job and on your Free computer and oblame phone. the Black community needs to look up who gave them the rights and Freedoms they have today. You might be surprised who it is. I doubt you will but there's always a chance, you may get a surprise. I have to got to work now to support your way of life. Have a great day and you're welcome! Great Job Mr. Scott for what you have accomplished.

Michael,

Michael Steele ran for Senate in 2006, two years before most people knew who Barack Obama was. He was elected Lt. Gov. of Maryland in 2002, while Barack Obama was still a state Senator. Ken Blackwell ran for Governor of Ohio in 2006. In 1986 here in MI, we nominated William Lucas for Governor. In 2006, Rev. Keith Butler got 40% in the primary for US Senate. Gary Franks was a Rep. from Connecticut in the 90s and JC Watts was a Rep from Oklahoma for eight years in the late '90s and early 00's. Clarence Thomas was nominated to the SCOTUS by GHW Bush in 1990. GW Bush nominated the first African-American Secretary of State, Colin Powell, and the first African American woman Secretary of State, Condoleezza (sp?) Rice. And btw, there have been seven African-American Senators, four Republican three Democrat.

The racist, Bob Byrd Democrats are out in full force today!!

Hey Job, do you oppose him because he is not a communist?

Job is out of touch, a racist and a misogynist. You cannot speak ill of any person of color or a woman. A female Governor appointed a lawfully elected black US Representative from South Carolina to the Senate. Way to go Gov. Haley and soon to be Senator Scott!

Job1 another paid blogger most likely paid with taxpayer money through one of Obama's civic organizations.

Believe it he has a lot. My niece has been on an Obama payroll since his run for the US Senate.

(dumb kid)

When will you right wingers get a job and get off the Tea Bag Express.

Vote deomcrat, it is easier than working

Your mommy did raise a fool!

and you fear that the south shall rise again...haha

Is that the best you two twits can come up with? It must really suck to be you.

Like I said, your mommy did raise a fool. :}}

Hey, Joey, did you ever get that GED? It sure doesn't look like it to me, since you can't counter a single point of my post with anything other than your juvenile "insults".

How did one of these Dumbocrat Nuts become President with the same credentials.
