This attn general is just admitting to dressing in blackface with a bunch of friends and rapping a song in the confines of their own place, probably either drunk or high or both....not expecting a resignation there unless there's more to it and he's just copping to some of it in an effort to obfuscate something else. Im really upset with democrats for not immediately calling for Northams resignation. There's no context to that photo that makes it ok. In fact, any "context" that could be added would probably just start to make it worse which is probably exactly why everybody stfu about it. 

thats there way

now if he says kill babies it’s a whole other thing

different story by the msm.

Sounds to me like Virginia Democrats have a racism problem. First Governor Ralph Northam donned either a KKK outfit or slathered his face with makeup for a photo, then later he admitted to being in blackface as Michael Jackson. Now the Attorney General Mark Herring, third in line for the governorship, has admitted to blackface.

Here’s the money shot:

“In 1980, when I was a 19-year-old undergraduate in college, some friends suggested we attend a party dressed like rappers we listened to at the time, like Kurtis Blow, and perform a song. It sounds ridiculous even now writing it. But because of our ignorance and glib attitudes — and because we did not have an appreciation for the experiences and perspectives of others — we dressed up and put on wigs and brown makeup.”

Herring then says it was a one-time thing and it was 40 years ago, therefore doesn’t reflect who he is today. He will not confirm if he will resign, only that there needs to be “honest conversations” about his future in government.

Now, had the Democrats not spent all summer tearing down Brett Kavanaugh for an event which they say happened in HIGH SCHOOL, we could all be somewhat sympathetic to young people making terrible choices. Alas, we’re living in a post-Kavanaugh world. A world where Democrats analyzed every comma, word, or errant apostrophe in Kavanaugh’s yearbook, diaries, and personal calendar from when he was in HIGH SCHOOL in a clear attempt to destroy his life. So boof that.

Sorry, I haven’t any sympathy. Democrats wrote the rules. Democrats set the precedent that alleged incidents with no proof at all were admissible in a politician or judge’s career. There’s evidence with Northam. Herring has admitted to blackface. Going by the rules as set by Democrats, Northam and Herring must resign. Now.

The GOP didn’t make these rules. Conservatives in media didn’t make these rules. Democrats did. Live by the sword…

I'll side with you here. LIberals, and rightly so, immediately called for Ertel to resign yet when it's one of their own....welllll…..out comes the mealy mouthed excuses and vassiliations about why it's not the same thing. Yes, technically what Ertel did was worse because he directly mocked people who died just weeks prior to his stupid little party. But in essence there is zero difference. If at any point in your life you thought it was funny to dress up as a black man and stand next to another shitknuckle in full KKK gear....you probably aren't fit to lead anything. I keep waiting for one side to show even the most incremental of principle but I feel like this will go on my whole life. It's just another indicator of the kind of society we've become. There's seemingly no real honor left in this country when it comes to our leadership. None. 

Props for intellectual honesty.

I just think he's a loudmouth and maybe in real life it gets him by. Becoming as outraged as he has over a situation that never even happened and becoming apoplectic about 1985 yearbook isn't something a rational person does. 

Making up a hypothetical starring me so he can scream about it doesn't seem particularly balanced mentally. Quite possibly just showing off for the other lefties.

True - what I meant was "constantly deliberately?" misspelling words. any of us can have a typo. Worse than showing off, I think.

I'm talking about this board too. If you still have the capability to be honest have I ever claimed Obama was a Muslim? I think he's probably as agnostic or atheist as you are and pretended to be Christian to get votes like a lot of politicians.

WSS

Right, yeah, I agree. You have to pretend to be a Christian to win the presidency. At least for now 

And while your typical Steve tactics are annoying, and you may lean right, you're clearly not who I'm talking about in this instance. 

@mld-woody said:

Potentially. But I'm talking more about this board. Not the media (or your perception of the media). 

And on this board, there definitely isn't the liberal version happening of what happened during the Obama administration. Though I'm sure a group of posters here think that. Which, again, is the root of the problem.

It's a joke that you think I'm far left. I haven't stumped for any politicians here. I mock the far right bias, I mock hypocrisy. I mock how stupid Trump is. You think calling out Trump for being a dumbass means I'm far left. No, it just means I pay attention. I'm left on social issues (mine your own business and stop telling poeple how to live their lives), I'm not afraid of change and financial conservative. I voted to W and didn't vote to for Bill either time. But you guys are living in your Fox News bubble with their made up left. If a news source doesn't have Trump's balls on their chin, they are bias for the left. 

There was a time on here that if you came into a thread and suggested Obama WASN'T a secret Kenyan Muslim you MUST be a far left liberal!

you're either delusional, stupid or just a liar I'm guessing the latter. Oftentimes braggarts like yourself think that if they Yap loud enough people take their bullshit seriously. I don't and nobody here does except maybe the wood man. And he probably doesn't either but has to tow the party line. You made up the entire Orlando scenario but that's your modus operandi. You can't back up shit so may I say in the most respectful way possible go fuc yourself.

we are far, far, far further to the center left than you are to the center right. And we also have this next level ability to call out bullshit even when it's on the left. A man can dress as a black woman weeks after close to 2000 people died, and write "katrina victim" on the back of a shirt and aww shucks he was just playin, nobody should have to lose their jobs over that. A democrat dresses up as an uncle tom in blackface standing next to a dude in full KKK robe, and most democrats are like yeah that happened when he was a grown man already so he's got to go. When the story first broke I thought it was his HS year book AND I STILL thought that it was probably still a discrediting thing and he should resign. Had Northam been a republican I have zero doubt he'd be getting defended here by you, yet again squeeling about how a republican is being forced out of his job by "PC leftist social justice warriors". And I know that cause that's exactly what you have said every time something like this happens and it's a republican. 

I rem the guy in Florida who said publically certain neighborhoods in Orlando ought to be bulldozed, and ofc those were impoverished minority communities......and you nearly shit yourself that he was being forced to resign. Im not sure you have any clear moral standards in you.
