To most Americans, the White House and the Capitol building are mighty symbols of the freedoms they hold most dear. But two centuries after George Washington established the nation's capital, Americans have discovered that most of the labourers who built these monuments to American greatness were black slaves.

The OP was based on this particular website and the content within. I never said anything about Republicans or Conservatives until NEO made his comments.

I was pointing out the outright silliness of the rhetoric on this website and created a thread to do just that, but it was then turned into a Left vs. Right issue

Her Stupidity and stupid remarks, has to have website sponsored by Clinton,for you to make a thread on it?

But I did create a thread where it is proven that a conservative website advocates propaganda-style language in order to facilitate Republican votes and yet you don't comment on the meat of this issue.

All you did was say "but the Democrats do it too." I think that it doesn't matter what I point out, you will defend your ideology even in the face of critical evidence.

So its pointless. You are not interested in empirical evidence or an honest discussion.

I was expecting for most people to see the insanity of this website and we all get a good laugh. I guess some people will go to any length to defend even the most hypocritical stance.

I commented on the meat of the issue,but because it doesn't support whatever you were pushing, you lambast it with your dogma.

I told you Im not a member,but I agree with some of their points,respectfully their right to cater to the African-American vote,Just like Al Sharpton has,Obama has,and many other African Americans have. Everyone has a right to say what they want,and to make fools of themselves in America. This group also. You included.

Peace.

What has the Democratic Party Done Lately for Afro Americans ? More Welfare Fed to them by the " Nanny State " along with Massive Unemployment . The Repubs have a Golden Opportunity here to get their Votes in the Next Election IF they speak about the Issues at Hand and not try to tell the Brotha's their " Hip " to his plight . I must admit , that Ad Campaign Will go Nowhere .........LAME Indeed.........

If you guys keep insisting that Black people generally enjoy being unemployed and on welfare
you are gonna get nowhere.

The best of republicans want to eliminate minimum wage, is not very thrilling to anyone
who lives in poverty. The Republicans are hip to $#@$ them over even more so the
billionaires can get them tax breaks, brotha!

Who are you to say that ATS should drop threads like this just because it doesent suit your right wing propaganda? How do you know what people are sick of ? Have you suddenly become a spokesmen for the people ?

Austin is more liberal actually, its were all us Californians have been quarantined off by the rest of the sate. Not to mention 6th street. Though I don't understand peoples beef with Texas. They saved our a** from the ASA dammit!

If you don't get the reference its alright.

Also Texas Brought us Bill Hicks, thats were he got his start. Anyways not trying to pick a fight, just hate blanket statements. I won't deny I haven't made some myself.

OT: I guess I'll add more to the topic. I keep trying to figure out what the OP is mad about. The GOP pandering to a demographic? Thats how politics work, unfortunately. I mean the democrats do all sorts of pandering to blacks and nobodies had a problem with that. The republicans have pandered to Religious people in the past. Now that their trying to get the black vote it's suddenly racist?

Exactly!

And your views are suddenly suspect,when you voice your opinion,especially if its against the OP.

Like Ive said before,I see nothing wrong with their message,albeit its one that's lame. I also share in a few of their views. Heck,Ive stomached Al Sharpton,and his ills,why not the Raging Elephants?

I never said they were racist in the OP, nor am I mad about it. I was simply trying to point out the rhetoric and clever use of emotionaly-charged words such as "plantation" and such that they use in their ads and website.

Instead of discussing the issue, many people simply pointed the finger towards the Democrats and said "they do it too!". I agree, but the OP was about this particular website. We all know the Democrats do it too and I never said anything to the contrary.

But I did say that I haven't seen a Democrat website that even comes close to the Raging Elephant site. I am still waiting for someone to point one out.

I have been pretty flexible and admitting that both sides guilty of this. You just refuse to accept the extremity of this website and even defended some those extreme views.

You can disagree with me, that fine. I am and have been willing to flex as new comments and ideas come up, but I at least expect you to be honest in the discussion and not be disingenuous or intentionally obtuse for partisan political purposes.
