Larry Elders on CNN

He was on there defending the "Magic Negro" song. Sad just sad. As a black man I just want to shake some common sense in to that dude.

16. As I see it, the offense is not the use of that term.

But when you couple that with "magic," it comes off like a racist vaudeville show. It's disgusting.

5. He seems to have missed the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, when LBJ said the Dems just

lost the south for a generation and the Republicans southern strategy. He is talking about the parties before they literally switched spots and the racist southern Dems switched and became Republicans - Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms. He was really ridiculous tonight trying to blame it on Democrats when, as Hilary Rosen pointed out, the Dems had nothing to do with this. The idiot circulated it all on his own to people within his own party.

10. he's also unemployed...so he's sucking up to any camera that

will listen to his idiotic shit. They probably slipped him a $20 and he said he'd say whatever.

19. Did KABC fire the Prick?

I haven't listened much in the past couple of years but I did catch Al Rentel's shtick a couple of weeks ago. Elders seemed a perfect fit for the knuckle draggers to listen after getting their dose of Hannity.

I always got the impression that Larry's dad thought his son was a real asshole.

12. People like Elders will defend racism like others defend

some shitty little country in an unforsaken part of the world.

14. I didn't see CNN today, but I loved the way Tamron Hall covered it...

She was PISSED about the disgusting song, and she let her viewers know that she thought any reTHUG who defended it was sick in the head!

Rock on Tamron!! ~~~

21. He came across as unhinged and his laughing at the end of the segment made him seem even crazier.

22. Yeah, he started going into some rant about the Democrats being the racist party.

Which always makes me laugh, because the modern Republican Party built its base when the racist Democrats bolted the party during the Civil Rights movement. All those northeastern Republicans, the Rockefeller Republicans, slowly became Democrats over the course of a few decades.

Now the Republican Party is dominated by white, social conservative racists. Anyone who wants to deny it just needs to look at an electoral map. Sure, McCain won the very heart of the Rocky Mountains and the heartland, but his best region was...the south!
