Now that's what I call balanced and fair reporting!!

What I do care about is when I looked around the Republican Convention, I only saw a handful of faces of color. Aren't they part of this country too? In fact, the majority! That's how the Repubs are going to lose this election.

Just off the top of my head, the last two Secy of State under Republican WH were black..just a thought.

Now, you want race to be an issue by counting the color of folks faces as you say you did.....I am shocked you would make an accusation like that since I "think" you made an issue of something somebody said that race should not be discussed.

Is it now ok to discuss race ?

Again, you seem to miss the fact that I said NOT MY WORDS. But it did draw my attention to it. Look around tonight, make your own decision.

I missed nothing....

You said and I quote...."What I do care about is when I looked around the Republican Convention, I only saw a handful of faces of color. Aren't they part of this country too? In fact, the majority! That's how the Repubs are going to lose this election."

Not one mention of "not my words" !!! NONE.

Now, you did say "not my words" in relationship to some reporter calling it a nazi rally, but NEVER about the race issue.

By the way could you share with all the posters on here what commentator said that quote about the Nazi rally...as I would love to know...talk about immature and nasty "reporting"

Maybe you misunderstood me, that's what drew my attention to the lack of faces of color in the first place. Don't know which reporter as I was surfing many television channels.

But can you dispute it? Just wondering.

1. Did not misunderstand you. I quoted you by cutting and pasting YOUR remarks, read your post.

2. Dispute what ?

Now since you found it tidy to insert RACE and NAZIISM into this discussion, and now I know I misunderstood you but YOU BROUGHT IT UP...I happen to subscribe to a lot of news letters and websites on both sides of the aisle..even the extreme and the only mention of NAZI in regards to the Republican party or the Republican convention was an extreme site....called NOLANCHART.

RACE and NAZIISM..wow....new entries into the forum...most have stayed away from that !

Don't be startled Bucco. This is a forum, anything can come up. For the last time, I will say NOT MY WORDS. But this is American and it is my right to bring up something that fascinated me when I heard it. FREEDOM OF SPEECH, my friend. MY country too. After all, there was no problem trashing Senator Obama's wife, religion and patriotism.

Well, let me say it this way...YOU may enjoy throwing those kind of words and charges out there...I dont and wont. You can talk to someone else about anyone being a Nazi or racist...I, for one, do not get that low...my opinion. Others on here may want to talk with you along those lines but not me !

Again, and for the last time, NOT MY WORDS. But take a look tonight, it's very interesting.

There sure are a lot of words being printed here and opinions given by using disclaimers like "not my words". If they aren't your words why are you repeating them?? :dontknow:

Yes, good question. I'd like to know why the "words" or slams about Senator Obama's wife, patriotism and religion were repeated too? :dontknow:

I think of this quote from Doris Lessing,

"It is terrible to destroy a person's picture of himself in the interests of truth or some other abstraction",

applies to the reputation of ALL the candidates and their families and is important to remember in maintaining our own character and integrity.

Very noble thought, Peachie and I agree with you. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be how politics works in this country (or any other for that matter.) When Senator Obama tries not to strike back, he was accused of being weak. It's just a Catch 22. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Perhaps if we begin raising the bar, one by one, Chels. :dontknow:

Peachie,
Are you and Chels a tag team?
