Discussion: Thom Tillis Rant Reparations

Dammit! Who told this guy about our secret trillion-dollar handouts? Now our cunning plans are ruined!

We had it so carefully buried in the budget, too.

$24,193…office supplies
$8,291…travel expenses
$51,050…staff incentive pay
$1,297,420,080,140…secret reparations
$2,685…photocopier repair

Great Job a**hole. Keep it up and everyone will find out who you really are.

It hasn’t, but a lot of it has come out of the South. While I lived there, I learned that after the Civil War and the collapse of the Southern Aristocracy, the people in the South partnered with the houses of worship in order to convince the Southern lower classes that their reward was in Heaven while essentially eliminating the educational system. They did this especially to Black Southerners, but also to White Southerners and made sure that White Southerners hated Black Southerners. The whole myth of the glorious Antebellum South comes from this time. Pre-Civil War poor White Southerners were often in a horrific situation themselves and often not much better off than the slaves they looked down on.

Once Nixon took over, though, the Republicans did their best to spread this ideology across the nation.

Combining NC voter suppression and blatantly racist appeals to the cranky elderly whites who can be relied on to vote GOP, Tillis thinks this is the way to win.

Are we seriously still talking about slave reparations?

No “We” are not.

But unrepentant right-wing Klan sympathizers like Thom Tillis are.
Because he hasn’t had an original idea in his whole sorry life.

Just another douchebag with poor grammar skills who thinks using the word ‘democrat’ as an adjective is a productive jab at Democrats. Will somebody explain the point of this willful ignorance to me?

He’s simply sticking with the classics, the same way a redneck band plays “Sweet Home Alabama” at least 3 times every Friday and Saturday night in Alabama.

And yet he’s going to win, and other mental midgets like him will also win, because half the country hasn’t been taught any critical thinking.

The Hagan campaign must have started seen polls move in the wrong direction, so now we need to increase Black turnout. Are there any Democrats or Republicans for that matter actually campaigning on an agenda other than my opponent is…

And the two parties are wondering why more people are refusing to be identified with either of the two major parties.

No, it’s because a large bloc of white voters agree with him!

He’s not going to win, and the polling has consistently shown Kay Hagan with a 3 to 6 point lead.

No, not reparations but yes we’re seriously talking about how to “get out the vote”!

Wrong again, as is your habit.

All the polling has shown Hagan with a consistent lead.

Tillis is a classic right-wing jackass.

And you are dangerously close to outing yourself as a race-baiting jerk for that comment about black voter turnout.

Perhaps someone should tell him using pejoratives ( Democrat party ) isn’t a way to win the folks you are bad mouthing over. I thought GOP’ers would have outgrown that childish crap by now,.

If Mr. Tillis wins it will speak volumes about the voters in his state.
