Eh, I like Charles but this "truth" he made is a very facile statement/argument of the lack of success of Blacks.

I don't think that Charles is arguing that treatment from the black community is the only factor in "the lack of success of Blacks," he is only
saying that it is a contributing factor. So, I'm not sure that "facile" describes his position at all.

Your logic makes zero sense. Absolutely none. If you disagree with someone on an issue, and then they change their mind and now agree with you, you then agree with them on that issue.
It's as simple as that. They can still be a complete idiot on most if not all other issues, can you comprehend that?

I see...so on issues they agree with you. We should respect and listem them...when they don't agree with you, then they are idiots. Makes sense. I guess that's why you called people/celebs morons and idiots when they supported obama but when they stopped supporting them, all the sudden they are brilliant.

The point is simple and easy to understand. Unless someone agrees with your far right idealogy they are fool and should not be listned to or taken seriously...once they change their thinking, they are very smart and their opinion matters. You done this same nonsense before with threads about jon lovitz and samuel jackson....once they change their tune, it's time to pay attention to them. Just plain weird and typical of the party you support.

Just a hint...if you find someone to be an idiot on 99 issues and you agree with them on the 100th....you might be the idiot on that issue.

Yes, that is typical of right wing people. They have called chris matthews an idiot for last years because he doesn't hate obama... soon as he was critical of obama...his opinion matters and is now valid. . Weird

It's not weird at all. It's human nature. Pretty standard for all people.

Disagre completely. You can't bash a guy and say his opinion doesn't matter, he's an idiot and then when he changes his opinion...say look, we should listen to him now because he thinks like me.

These guys do this all the time. All I heard is that chris matthews is a obama ock socker and liberal lover...his opinion on things should not be counted. Then he is critical of obama and these guys hold him up like his opinion is then gospel. You can't have it both ways...it's not human nature in my world.

Uh, sure you can. I'm not saying it isn't foolish but it happens all the time. People gravitate towards comments that reinforce their beliefs.

Well, if sean hannity all the sudden said obama is doing a great job....I wouldn't be in line to shake his hand and think he's special. And if acebb suddenly starting telliing the truth, I wouldn't point to him as honest abe.

I don't doubt that. That said, I still don't understand why you find it "weird" that someone would prop up a person in a position of influence who makes statements that reinforce their held beliefs, regardless of what has been said previously. They are simply looking to have their opinions affirmed.

I don't know of anybody who respects his opinion. Maybe I'm not watching enough TV but I haven't seen it.

As a matter of fact, even when he was acting like a little schoolgirl with a crush on him, Obama mocked him. Even Obama doesn't respect him.

Don't know what else to say....just find it odd and weak minded that you need to say "hey look, he thinks like me". Especially after you mocked that same individual beliefs months before.

Did you not read where I said it was foolish. I just said it wasn't weird or surprising. I hope he "you" up there isn't referring to me because I did any of those things.

no clue who Rick Lowry is either. You think Vit is pining for the poli forum and has withdrawal now? Wait until he has to watch the Sixers for a few weeks....
