And how the hell are those presidents more deserving than MLK?
well only 2 of those 3 were presidents,
1. FDR no1 can argue what i great leader (democrat) he was he was easily one of the best presidents who happened to preside over tough times (great deression, and WWII)
2. Grant was the great general that won the civil war under the command of Abe Lincoln, grant then later became president and a great leader.
3. Franklin to was a founding father who contributed alote to this great nation, its constitution, and was arguably one of the greatest inventors in the USA

But I will say, the democrats have no position to talk either...Byrd is a an ex-member of the KKK who was caught saying nigger not too long ago, and bill clinton praised Fulbright who has a past similar to Thurmonds...so niether party has clean hands in this situation.
and Gore who has said that he learned alote and praises his father for being the most infuencial person in his life. well his father stood right next to Thurman in 1948.
but anyway i am a conservative which means i lean towards the rebublicans and believe in thier policies more and that is why i get upset at the double standard that the democrats/NAACP/media have. because when byrd out right used that word last year nobody heard about it. the media buried it. jessie jackson, the clintons, NAACP they all knew what happened ( it was live on FOX News) but they didnt speak out against him they swept it under the carpet as if it never happened.
no they (the media, clintons, democrats, NAACP) are yelling bloody murder at Lott (a conservative) for something that he DIDN'T say rather what think he meant.
as i have said earlier the words could be considered by some as insensitive, but not as racist. now the democrats and the media and other have forced Lott out of his rightful position as senate amjority leader when Byrd was elected to that position and held it for 15 years and he was a known klansman. wheres the justice? nobody asked him to resign.
even last week senator Kerry the guy that is going to run for president under the Democrats was caught making a racial slur towards Italian Americans. did any of you guys here it? of course not the liberal media killed it and kept the focus on Lott
yesterday of the show hanntiy and colmes a highway patrolman from Arkansas and a former girlfriend of president clinton on the air said that they heard then governor clinton refer the a black activist (a guy names Macintosh i think?) from little rock as
the state tropper said that clinton would call him that "nigger
and the fromer girlfriend would say clinton would refer to him as "that g** damn nigger". and they have come out to tell their stories but why is it that nobody ever heard them? because the liberal media wants the preserve the liberals were are racist and concentrate on cooking the conservatives that arent racist.
all i want is for the media to be fair and to go after every1 the same. regardless of political idealogy.
