Funny isn’t it.

I do notice that the “outrage” of the Left is far more subdued than during the Covington incident when they went after high school kids. It’s nowhere near the level of anger.

If this was a GOP governor wearing blackface and posing with a KKK outfit during his university years, the media would be screaming nonstop for his head on a plate.

Do you think Northam should resign?

What are you talking about? What you consider to be the liberal media has talked about Northam almost non-stop since this came out including many panelists that have called for his immediate resignation, covered protesters in Virginia calling for his ouster, etc. You're just wrong, brother.

Nope, you're dead wrong. If that was the case, then the LR message board would be matching the MSM outrage. That is obviously not the case. During the Covington incident, the LR libs rapidly filled up at least 7-10 pages of outrage. Regarding Northam, hardly a peep here, from 2-3 lib posters at most. Other than that, mostly crickets from your side. Try again.

I suspect Rigged never watches MSM. He only sees what Fox News reports on MSM and believes that's the truth.

No.

First, he doesn’t know the difference between racism and bigotry.

Second, Latino Republicans ARE so racist toward Latinos. Lol

Flagpole at his ignorant best.

You are crazy. Just as much outrage. Not as interesting a topic and therefore less talking about it here because one is a VA governor that pretty much no one has heard of except for people in Virginia, and the other is a story involving support for the most criminal President ever.

What you call MSM is all over that guy like stink on a monkey. You are wrong, but you should NOT try again.

I suspect you are right. I make sure to watch Fox regularly so I know how ridiculous most of them there are (also this is how I know that Shep Smith and Chris Wallace are reasonable).

One, many prominent Democrats are currently asking for his head on a plate and Republicans are also asking for him to step down. The picture was outed by a right wing media source.

Two, if it were a Republican, yes many liberals would be after him but Republicans would be defending him across the board.

No chance a Republican would step down in this case.

I am in the minority of liberals asking to wait and investigate a bit before the calls to resign.

This guy is no where as bad as King in Iowa who remains in office.

A bit of a twist in the VA governor thing.

Northam is not eligible to run again for re-election. (Only can serve one term)

But if the Lt Governor takes over, he can run again in the next election.

They can get 7 years out of him.

People like Flagpole just use racism as an excuse. It’s just an easy way out. I live out in the mountains/rural area and only around 5% are legitimately racist. The vast majority could care less. Places like Charlottesville (riot) have people travel from all over to make themselves bigger then what they really are. Racism is something democrats don’t want to end. They cherry pick cases/circumstances from all over the country to try to fill their agenda. I promise it is very depleted and not worth mentioning anymore. Flagpole needs to focus on political reasons to beat President Trump. Not the Russia/racism thing.

As for Northam, it is very troubling and now he is trying to cover it up. First he is in the picture, now he isn’t. Cover up is worse then the crime. I’d say he should resign.

Biden Beto ticket with Biden doing one term and Beto 2 terms after that - I’d bite.

I don’t know what MSM Rigged has been watching but all I’m seeing are calls for his resignation. Most of us have also said he should resign. Trumpers’ heads are in Mars.

Iggy is a principled person, I disagree with his principles but he is at least not being hypocritical in this case. Not sure what the basis for letting a grown man who at this point looks like was a racist “back then”? Even if he thinks too much time might have passed, then I’d say given he was a grown man I want him to prove he is not racist. Good luck. We need higher standards for people holding public office, they need a solid past, doesn’t have to be perfect but if this guy “was” a racist then he has obviously hid it well - never cleared the air hoping it would get swept under the rug - fvcking dishonest at the very least - get the f out.

The lead story at the top of the hour on CNN, is the border wall.

Wrong again, Clownpole.

Well, I have commented on this before, but I will be more complete here.

If you currently support Trump, you are one of two things (this assumes you are not mentally challenged):

1) A flat out racist.

2) Stupid as can be.

You Trumpers still don't get me. Let me try to spell it out for you.

1) My goal in stating truth to power (and truth to you here at Letsrun) is NOT to beat Trump. I don't want him to serve another term of course, but since I can not control the idiocy of others and I don't have a big platform (not famous, not a politician), what I say has no affect on whether Trump will win another election. I simply state the truth. Period. My goal is NOT to get a Democrat in the White House or even to make Democrats look better than Republicans. My goal is ONLY to get DONALD TRUMP out of the White House because he is a racist, a sexist, a serial liar, a bad example of how humans should behave, and an epic criminal who is endangering our national security. He was a Democrat for most of his adult life, and if he had won as a Democrat, I would be just as against him.

2) Bogus that Democrats don't want racism to end. The cherry picking that you mention is BS. How does Democrats going after Northam help Democrats in any way? It doesn't. In THIS CASE Democrats see a wrong and are correctly calling for his resignation. This is not to say that Democrats always make the right decision, because they don't, but this is the right call here and the antithesis of how you portray Democrats.

Poor, Trump. He "works" so "hard" that he must spend 60% of his time in "executive mode". In Trump's case that means: watching Fox News, and reading compressed news headlines from Breitbart and President1 Coulter, taking with President2 Hannity, and painting/tanning himself orange, and eating fast food, and playing putt-putt golf on his indoor "executive" golf green.
