Which doesn't excuse Northam , who needs to resign.

I'm all in with "live by dirty politics, die by dirty politics."

Nope, neither do I. Everyone assumes the GOP gets graded on a curve, with very low expectations set.

After McConnell was way older than 25 when this picture was taken. He should have known better.

We only try to eat our own. Republicans only try to eat us.

why they aren't condeming McConnell. The photo is of the same vintage as the one of Northam. They are going accept McConnell's claims he's different now, but not Northam's?

If you are going to make a big deal about being against racism, then be against it all the time, not just when it's politically convient or necessary.

Let me add, getting rid of McConnell would more than anything to improve civility and set America on a better path forward than getting 10 Ralph Northam's to resign.

Why don’t we get all pissy about the republican dirty tricks and pathetic histories?

in his early 50s when this was taken. Who among us hasn't done something in public that was blatantly racist while in our 50s? (Sarcasm)

So he is a traitor to his own state and the all kentuckians who fought for the Union.

...because they don't have a problem with that flag like decent people do.

Both should leave and never return.

Hell, Steve King had one on his desk.

Silly Dems, racism IOKIYAR.

I would be celebrating.

both McConnell and King would have been long gone.

I suspect that Democrats are allowed to serve as token spokesmen to preserve a semblance of representation for the non-aristocracy. A pressure relief valve for the masses.

We don’t hear the same drumbeat from mainstream pundits when left wing blogs bring up old (or not so old) examples of bad behavior on the part of Republicans. There is no echo in the echo chamber for them.

That November blue wave means the USA prefers Dems. Progressive talk radio needs to keep up the outrage.

Trent Lott, Bob Barr, and others were courting the Council of Conservative Citizens, a neo-Confederate group.

(excerpt)

So the chairman of the NAACP wants to know where these same senators are when it comes to the Council of Conservative Citizens, which promotes the preservation of the white race and whose Web site features articles warning that the nation is turning into a "slimy brown mass of glop." Sen. Trent Lott once addressed this group's national board, welcomed its leaders to Washington, had photos taken with them in his office and then said he didn't know what they were about. The CCC's directors wink and nod at that. One of them was a county chairman of Lott's '94 reelection campaign. One of them is his uncle.
