News-Record.com

from human events magazine:

As a black conservative politican, Robinson stands out above the crowd. In his latest campaign ad Robinsons rejects the "twilight zone" or liberals' dream for America. He addresses everything from illegal aliens and gay marriage to activist judges and abortion. Robinson even criticizes Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for making excuses for the high rate of illegitimate children born in the black community.(Note: Watch the ad, it's outstanding and getting rave reviews around the HUMAN EVENTS office.)

Basically, Robinson is a politician that speaks the truth -- a refreshing concept these days. And the liberals are livid about it.

okla sounds a bit "livid" does she not?? her democrat future? baltimore, new jersey, boston, and the euro-socialist union.

The bigest problem the democrats have with Robinson is that he is Black AND conservative (sp?). This is like oil and water in their world. The two just DON'T mix. Insted of speaking the truth, he should be bowing at the feet of white liberals who, after all, view themselves as being responsible for his well being and successes, right?

Vernon Robinson is an "Uncle Tom" in the truest sense. That's the reason white conservative males (especially) like him so much. He carries their racist, discriminatory agendas for them.

The problem with Robinson has nothing to do with his skin color, despite what neocon and other conservatives say. The problem with Robinson is that he's crazy as a bedbug. His web site this time is toned down a bit from his prior run in another district, but if you read it, you still see the crazy.

He implies that Brad Miller is gay -- news I'm sure to Miller's wife of over 20 years. He says that the problem with our schools is because of "big government and the vile teachers' unions", despite the fact that this state does not have teachers' unions. He says that Miller voted to "allow the burning of the American flag", and that "politicians like Miller are the reason you have to press '1' for English when you ... buy something with your ATM card." And that's just what I plucked off the site in a three minute refresher. And new since the last time I was there: the bold headline on his home page proclaims that "Human Events (Ronald Reagan's favorite magazine) compares Vernon to Ann Coulter". He's proud of that distinction? Like I said -- crazy.

As the LTE states, he really does nothing to advance his own agenda. Oh wait -- the one idea I recall was that he'd deploy the marines to close the border to Mexico. Brilliant.

To neocon and others who say democrats hate him because he won't toe the line for liberal whites, you could not be more wrong. If you've lived in this area long enough, you may recognize a familiar scenario. If conservatives can get one black person to go against the prevailing black culture's opinion, lots of racists and ultra-conservatives get to say "see, I'm not a racist, I like what that Vernon Robinson has to say" even though he's as suitable to run for congress as my dog is to sing on American Idol. Conservatives want to use this guy as a puppet, just like Alan Keyes in Illinois two years ago (just as black, just as unqualified, almost as crazy).

I've said it before, "Bush bashers" have taken a beating in this forum for months about hating everything Bush or the republicans do, simply because they are republicans. Now is your time to put your money where your mouths are. If you truly believe you are the enlightened ones, do some research, pay attention, and Vernon Robinson will end up with less than a hundred votes.

Yvonne:

Not all conservative white males (especially) are racist. By your logic, all blacks (especially) must be looters (since some blacks looted in New Orleans). I'm disappointed in your generalization.

Howie G,

D A M N !

You said a mouthful there! Vernon reminds me of a Dave Chapelle sketch whereby a blind African American lives out in the sticks and becomes the kind of person that fits in with the racists around him--he does not know he's black. The sketch is called, "The Black, White Supremecist" and the white racists get behind him as it makes them look better now that they have found a black man to tout their own hatred.

What amazes me is that there are those who post on this thread who would not only support Vernon, but also David Duke if he were to run again as a Republican! Scary folks out there.

Bunny? Bunny?

Yvonne put the word "especially" in there for purposes of emphasis. She never said "ALL", white males conservatives.

Vernon depends on fear and hatred of the uneducated for his premise. He appeals to the lowest common denominator in the Republican Party, and should be run out of town on a rail. I agree with Howie that he gives cover to all those angry white males whose prejudices are so deeply ingrained, that they cannot see what bigots they are. Just look at the ones on this thread who defend Robinson! That should be enough right there.

Solution:
Demand that all of the politicians in Vernon's party, publicly distance themselves from his rhetoric. That will not only scare the crap out of them, but will send a message to the far right wing nutcakes that a wake up call has been sounded. It worked when David Duke ran as a Republican.

David Duke should run as a Democrat as they've had no problems electing The Exalted Cyclops Klansman Sen. Robert Byrd to office for over 40 years.

Hugh,
The difference is Byrd is in another state, not mine. Another difference is Byrd apologized for his affiliation over 40 years ago. So now that Vernon is promoting what Byrd did in the 1940's, does that make it right? I think not.

A racist is a racist is a racist. Vernon depends on the illiterate, unenlightened, and uneducated for his base appeal.

As an aside, Do you support Vernon Robinson? If he is not in your district, WOULD you support him if he were? WHY or Why not?

Well, Yvonne's comment about Robinson being an "Uncle Tom" is as racist as it comes. Nice try DD trying to whitewash her comment. Whether you like Robinson as a candidate or not, calling him an "Uncle Tom" is not right. Liberals also call Michael Steele an "Uncle Tom" as well. Liberals can't stand the fact that some black people can actually break out and be conservative.

"That's the reason white conservative males (especially) like him so much. He carries their racist, discriminatory agendas for them."

That comment can't be considered anything but an allegation that white conservative males are racists. Adding "especially" just emphasizes the comment.

Shame on you Yvonne for practicing racism. You always criticize others for being racist, and then you show your true colors.

How's things going at Wake, Professor DD?

I find it very interesting that liberals always seek to marginalize conservatives by calling them racists. If you can't win the battle of ideas, just call them a racist. That'll put them on the defense, won't it? Nice technique, but it is wearing thin.

Well, as my mama always said, "The bit dog barks first".
Oak,
Racism should not be tolerated under any circumstances, or party affiliation. You seem to to have an affinity for the rhetoric of Robinson, so expound on that as the LTE says.(?)

DD:
Sorry, but the comment comes across as generalizing to me... with or without "especially."

DD:
Had the comment been "especially SOME"..., it would have NOT been generalizing. See the difference?

By the way, Jack Kemp withdrew his support for Robinson when Vernon ran last time. Pretty strong when one of the top conservatives in the party gets fed up with the vile words spewing from Vernon Robinson. I am sure there are more Republicans who would call him disgusting, but it's not worth my time to find them.

You can't make this stuff up! I went to Vernon's website and checked for endorsements, and guess what I found!!!!

http://vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

Wow! Guess they didn't know his two biggest endorsements post on this blog!! Oak, you are digging a hole by supporting VER-NON.

Let's see, how many endorsements has Vernon got now???

http://vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

Keep checking as they are "coming soon"!!
LOL!
Probably will be Grand Dragon Glenn Miller, Virgil Griffin, and Oak Ridge Runner.

Oak,
Just wondering, did you ever read "Uncle Tom's Cabin"? The classic by Harriet Beecher Stowe would be worthy of your time. Then you would realize just how ridiculous your comment above is.

Oak,
Why do you support Vernon. Not a trick question, but just want to know "WHY" you are attracted to such a polarizing figure?

Defination of a racist: anyone who is winning an argument with a liberal.

I admit that quote came from the brilliant best selling aurthor, Ann Coulter - the liberals' worst nightmare. lol

Let's pretend for a moment that Vernon Robinson was not black. Would it change your opinion of him? Wouldn't change mine. So can we drop all the racist crap on both sides.

I appreciate straight talking politicians but Vernon is over the top for me. I can't see myself voting for Miller so I guess I'll just have to abstain unless another candidate is out there.

I would not put Keyes anywhere near Robinson. He would have had my vote over any of the other republican candidates and it had nothing to do with skin color.

DD, Vernon is in my district and I will vote for him for the simple reason I believe we need radical change in DC regarding Illegal immigration.

Vernon looks like he'll get in there raise hell. That is needed. Same old same old lame status quo politicians like Miller make me want to puke.(Liddy and Burr are running close behind Miller for their sour milk puke factor)

YD,
I like your idea of forgetting Robinson is black, as his vitriolic comments are disgusting no matter what his skin color. The real point is that some find his skin color an easy "hideout" from criticism. Look around this blog.

Oh, and I just checked Vernon's website again, and still no endorsements!

Keep checking, Hugh & Oak. Surely he will get some support soon!
http://vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

It looks like the only ones defending Robinson here are simply taking shots at his detractors. Is anyone going to address the original letter, whose theme is that Robinson has no agenda, other than to attack his opponent? My guess is no, because the old reliable Rove plan always works. If someone questions your position, attack the person questioning you. Oh, and if you can bait someone into a name-calling contest, all the better. Before long, you'll probably be able to accuse them of helping the terrorists or undermining the president.

I agree with YD and DD about the racist talk. Leave it aside, because Robinson's merits or lack thereof have little to do with his skin color.

One additional acknowledgement: neocon, good job of citing Ann Coulter. Too bad she's turning out to be a little lazy about following your lead. Seems she doesn't cite all of her references.

http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002800574

By the way, if you really think she's my worst nightmare, you aren't paying attention. She's a punchline, and if you consider her work to be meaningful, then I think you're hitching your wagon to the wrong star.

Coulter has become a cartoon after attacking the widows of those who died on September 11th. Now we find out she's a plagiarist too. Big surprise that is. (LOL)
Calling Democrats "Godless" is like one calling Republicans "brainless". You see, she just doesn't like the God of the liberal, so she attacks the liberal. I believe ALL Republicans have brains, but some have much smaller ones than others.

Keep checking Vernon's site for endorsements!

Vernon's site: "STAY TUNED FOR ENDORSEMENTS!"

I just checked, and STILL no endorsements. Guess Oak Ridge Runner, Hugh and others have not been able to assimilate any "big names" for Vernon just yet...but keep checking!!

http://vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

Lighten up, Howie. It was a joke I passed along.

Robinson's agenda include securing our borders and cutting off welfare beneits for illegal aliens. This is a huge concern right now for many Americans. (But sadly, the liberals will gladly let the illegals overrun the country IF they think they can offer them a piece of the welfare pie in order to buy their vote) Not to mention his support for school choice, lower taxes and a host of other traditional conservative values. He is solidly against any gay marriage law and is not afraid to point out that Miller is soft on this issue, even though 65-80% of the country (depending on the locale) does not support 'gay marriage'.
You may not agree with it, but that doesn't mean he "has no agenda".

As far as his skin color goes, who is calling him an "uncle tom" because he refuses to march in lockstep with the liberals? Not conservatives. I would vote for Robinson even if he were white. lol

The "Jersey Girls" are puppets used by the democrats that they wind up and send them on tv to repeat their mantra "Bush lied and kids died". They THOUGHT these women were beyond criticism and everyone would swallow their bile hook, line, and sinker. They thought wrong... again.

http://vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

Still no endorsements?
Why do you suppose they can't post ANY yet?
Do you think it might be due to Vern not living in the district?
Do you think it might have to do with how other Republicans like Congresswoman Virginia Foxx feel about him?
Keep looking for those high powered endorsements, as I am SURE folks can't wait to join Vernon's team!

Deac, get with the program and stop making stuff up.

Fear not, neocon, I don't need to lighten up. Since my first mention of Coulter this morning, I found out about her alleged plagiarism, and I found the irony of your proper citation of her work, combined with my earlier mention of her, to be an amusing coincidence.

As for the "Jersey girls", now we are hitting kind of close to home, and I tend to get defensive. One of my relatives is a democrat and resident of NJ, who lost her husband in the World Trade Center. And she is not one of these "Jersey Girls" -- probably too busy raising her special needs child alone. I do not find it especially insulting that a total waste of flesh like Coulter spews her venom. However, what is very insulting is that people give this idea some credibility. Can anyone explain to me why it is not only acceptable, but applauded, for president Bush to use Cindy Beamer (husband was the "Let's roll" guy) as a prop in a State of the Union address, but it is reprehensible for women whose husbands made the ultimate sacrifice to speak their minds? I welcome anyone who can explain that dichotomy.

Back to Robinson, I don't necessarily think that being against things qualifies as an agenda, but for lack of anything better, I'll entertain the idea. I believe this guy will do and say anything he can to get his name mentioned. So this year, the hot button is illegal immigration. (BTW Neocon, illegal aliens can't vote, so try to find another reason we're soft on the issue, and while you're at it, why the president is too). So his idea is to deploy the marines. As I said before, a brilliant strategy. Two years ago, he saw the national headlines garnered by Chief Justice Moore in Alabama, so he had a 10 commandments statue placed on a piece of government property, just so he could generate some attention. If you can't see through a buffoon like Robinson, then there is probably no point in debate. His only agenda is himself. He'll make outrageous claims on ads to get attention, then brag on his web site about the attention he gets from O'Reilly or Limbaugh, then make more outrageous claims to keep the ball rolling. And he'll outright lie about his opponent, and apparently not pay much attention to whatever district he decides to run in.

Hugh, how is Byrd's early association with the Klan an argument FOR Vernon Robinson. You muddy the waters rather than dealing with the discussion at hand. You would fail Debate 101 in any school. Robinson is an idiot. I don't believe any credible conservative would or could defend him.

Howie,
Robinson is FOR securing our borders, he is FOR less taxes, he is FOR school choice, and he is FOR marriage being defined as between one woman and one man.

I anticipated you'd come back with the Bush vote buying line too. This is why I said LBERALS wanted the illegal vote, not the democrats wanted the illegal vote, which by the way, I know it is illegal for them to vote, but that doesn't stop them from voting:

http://washingtontimes.com/metro/20040923-104542-8488r.htm

Sorry about your relative, but the democrats have mugged them to do their dirty work:
http://www.weeklystandard.com/Utilities/printer_preview.asp?idArticle=5969&R=ECCDD24A

An excerpt:
IT WAS NOT LEARNED by the Jersey Girls, the four widows from the Middletown area, who, like Cindy Sheehan, had lost kin in the war, but in lower Manhattan, not Iraq, and husbands, not sons. They were discovered by Gail Sheehy, a writer and liberal Democrat, who had come to their town to write about healing, and stayed to dabble in activist politics, forming the Moms into a corps of crusaders, bent on finding the flaws in the system, and then on blaming them all upon Bush. The Moms seemed at first to have been apolitical (two of them claimed to have voted Republican), but they soon began sounding exactly like Sheehy, who became their coach, their den mother, sponsor, and publicist, detailing their struggles in the New York Observer under a series of headlines such as "Four 9/11 Moms Battle Bush," "Vigilant Widows Wait for Condi With Suspicion," and "Moms Battle Bush." Wrote Sheehy: "So afraid is the Bush administration of what could be revealed by inquiries into its failures . . . it is unabashedly using Kremlin tactics to muzzle members of Congress . . . but there is at least one force that the administration cannot scare off or shut up."

"If you can't see through a buffoon like Robinson, then there's probably no point in debate".

Right back at ya, sir. "debate" over.

Hugh, THOSE don't count, they are not on the left wing's approved endorsement list.

Golly gee stevie, I wasn't the first one to bring up Klansmen and politics, I was simply balancing the comments that were offered earlier.

Hugh,
You kill me with your posts! Not one of those has endorsed Vernon for Congress this time!! Not one. None. Nada. Zilch.

Jack Kemp, and others withdrew their support from Vernon Robinson long ago! You need to throw out your old copies of Popular Mechanics, as they don't pertain to the present. Wishful thinking on your part, but if you don't believe me, go to Vernon's site!

http://vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

There's your proof old boy! Guess Vernon is now saying, "here are some folks that endorsed me long ago, but don't endorse me now" LOL! You are grasping at straws.

Again, real slow now....
NONE OF THOSE YOU MENTION ABOVE, SUPPORTS ROBINSON THIS GO AROUND.

The truth will set you free----and eventually will set Ann Coulter free....from future book publishing deals!!!! LOLOLOL!

Howie,
Don't pay any attention to the ne___n. It is like trying to carry on a conversation with sheetrock.
Be sure and check out Vernon's latest endorsements!!

http://vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

Sorry I'm so late getting back to this. Didn't want you to think I'd forgotten about it. Had kids to bathe, a solar panel on my roof to replace, and a protest rally to organize.

Anyway, I didn't say a thing about Bush buying votes, only that he was soft on the issue -- and not to put to fine apoint on it, but I didn't say democrats either. I personally think that the issue is just an election year ploy seized by some to get votes. If this has been going on for 30-40 years, why do we need emergency sessions of congress right now?

And as for the Jersey Girls, I believe they've earned the right to speak their minds on at least a few issues. If they want to complain about how they have been disappointed since the September 12th "can you hear me now?" speech, then who are you, Ann Coulter, or the Weekly Standard to say they are unpatriotic or out of line? I'm hardly surprised that they would write an article questioning the validity of the Jersey Girls. The bigger surprise would be if they didn't write one. Did you expect me to change my opinion of them after having read the article? Imagine someone on the other side of the political spectrum, say Michael Moore, speaking out about a group who had -- according to some -- earned the right to speak out. Maybe Swift boat veterans. Would his opinion sway you at all?

Have a nice evening.

p.s. Does anyone know if Robinson has any endorsements? I haven't heard.

Even the State party is distanced from Vern!

From WRAL, Jesse Helms former employer:

RALEIGH, N.C. -- John Ross Hendrix never imagined North Carolina voters would buy into Vernon Robinson's fiery rhetoric. Robinson was, after all, the candidate who once introduced himself to voters by declaring, "Jesse Helms is back! And this time, he's black!"

But Robinson easily beat Hendrix to win last month's GOP primary for a U.S. House seat held by Democratic Rep. Brad Miller, and within hours was continuing an assault began months earlier, calling the incumbent a "cultural carpetbagger" who "votes against North Carolina values every time he votes in Congress."

The election night words were part of a multilayered and often blunt offensive Robinson has waged against Miller, a campaign that has included suggestions Miller is gay. While such openly hostile politics offended Republicans such as Hendrix, who later switched parties and chastised voters for selecting "the most radical of right-wingers," Robinson makes no apologies for his hardball style.

"A lot of candidates out there all look the same and stand for nothing," Robinson said. "People out there want to support a candidate that stands for something."

And Robinson isn't shy about pointing out those who fail to stand for his deep and strongly felt conservative convictions.

Last year, in a failed attempt to unseat state GOP chief Ferrell Blount, Robinson criticized what he called the party's weak leadership. When running for the House in 2004, he compared eventually winner Virginia Foxx to Sen. Hillary Clinton and characterized some of his six other primary foes as gay-friendly liberals soft on illegal immigration.

In her first year in office, Foxx earned a 100 percent rating from the American Conservative Union. Meanwhile, the state Republican leaders Robinson denounced a year ago have offered only soft endorsements for Robinson and his political strategies.

"It isn't our business to dissect somebody's campaign," said Bill Peaslee, the state GOP's chief of staff. "Vernon has a unique way of getting his point across. He has a talent for drawing contrasts in a way that draws attention."

Others are less delicate, and take offense when Robinson compares himself to Helms, the former North Carolina senator who earned the nickname "Sen. No" for his habit of blocking both legislation and nominees that failed to pass his conservative muster.

"I know Jesse Helms, and Vernon Robinson is no Jesse Helms," said Ballard Everett, a veteran political consultant who has helped elect several Republicans to statewide office. "Jesse, at least, had some class."

A native of Brooklyn and raised in Los Angeles, Robinson is an Air Force Academy graduate and former university business professor who began his political career began in 1988 with an unsuccessful run for the state Senate. He's entered about a dozen races for office, including North Carolina superintendent of public instruction, the state House and his local board of education.

Robinson has won election twice _ both times for a seat on the Winston-Salem city council. He lost a re-election campaign in 2005 after erecting a one-ton monument of the Ten Commandments in front of City Hall, which city workers were forced to remove.

Such unpopular stunts, along with his aggressive campaign style, "aren't just hurting him individually _ but the whole party," Everett said. "He's the one Republican I want to see leave the party _ and the state."

But Robinson doesn't need any help from the state GOP or its operatives. A prolific fundraiser, he pulled in nearly $3 million for his 2004 campaign, which ended with his loss to Foxx. The total was among the highest of any candidate for the House, and almost all came from individual donors living outside North Carolina.

This year, Robinson considered challenging Rep. Mel Watt, the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, whose district includes Robinson's home of Winston-Salem. He later withdrew from that race to take on Miller.

Miller has yet to begin his re-election campaign in earnest, opting to wait for news about Robinson's fundraising efforts _ new financial disclosure statements are due in mid-July _ before deciding how to proceed.

Robinson, meanwhile, has no doubt about how he'll proceed.

UPDATE ON VERNON'S ENDORSEMENTS:

http://www.vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

Still NO endorsements!

But Vern says, "Stay Tuned"
*********************************************
As one post above shows, Vernon could always go back and show the names of people who "ONCE" supported him. Maybe he could come up with a phrase like.....
Vernon Robinson has been supported by people such as _____ and ________ but now they are embarrased to be associated with Vernon. Vote Vernon Robinson---He'll embarrass YOU too!

Let's check in one more time to see if Vernon has any endorsements.....
http://www.vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

NO. NOT YET. We'll keep checking!

No one said the Jersey girls doesn't have the right to speak their mind. My point is it's not, at least WAS not, their mind they were speaking. They were - are - repeating what their "den mother and coach" told (is telling) them to speak, because they are being held up by the liberals as being beyond reproach due to the fact that their husbands were killed on 9/11. Just as they hold up Murtha as being the indisputable authority on troop deployment in Iraq because he was in Vietnam.

No, I never expected to change your mind by reading the links. Just providing some background on how the 'Jersey Girls' were turned into puppets by and for the democrats in order to blame Bush for all that is wrong in their lives and do so without criticism.

W---d t------r, if you want to come out and play, at least have the sack to say so. Don't make snide remarks then run and hide in the crowd. Got another citadel story for us today? Perhaps next time you can visit West Point and bring back tales of how all the people there hate Bush.

Oh Howie, you have a good evening too. I hope the protesters are up to snuff.

Let's check in and see if Vernon Robinson has any high profile endorsements yet:

http://www.vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

NONE TO REPORT, BUT VERNON SAYS, "STAY TUNED"!

Well, it's a holiday week...kind of slow....probably hasn't heard back from Colin Powell, James Baker, etc.

It's Friday morning, so let's check in with Vernon and see how many endorsements he's racked up overnight........

http://www.vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

Sorry folks. None to report yet, but for the few who post here and support Vernon, hope does spring eternal!

DD, you're deceitful and lack character. Is that typical of all Wake Forest University Professors?

And my point was that to decide the sincerity or source of the Jersey Girls' opinions based on Ann Coulter and the Weekly Standard article is unfair to these women who have earned the right to be heard. I heard Ann Coulter say that these opinions should only coming from less sympathetic, more impartial people. I find that to be the height of hypocrisy. If Swiftboat vets are held in higher regard than average folks because they've allegedly earned the right to speak out, then why are these women being so severely chastised? You can't have it both ways. And the characterization of Murtha is to provide context. This guy has been a hawk his whole career, and the military service lends credibility to that distinction. So for him to call for troop withdrawal should produce a different reaction from a similar call from someone like Dennis Kucinich.

BTW, when I was at Wake Forest, I was nothing but impressed with the intellect, the balance, and the character displayed by the faculty. And when I see WF characterized as a liberal college cocoon, it really gives me a good laugh. I'm laughing now just thinking of it.

Howie,
One fellow who posts here often, desperately wants to "KNOW" who I am. He now thinks I am a Wake Professor because he met one or heard one speak at some point. Earlier, he accused me of being David Hoggard, and later had to recant. I've told him I am not a prof, but several of the more "intellectually challenged" bloggers, still think I am. Since you own a WFU degree, I do not have to tell you who they are, as it's obvious. I too, have to laugh at the comments made about Wake Faculty having a liberal bias. How long ago did you go to Wake?

Well, it's that time again! Time to go to Vernon Robinson's OFFICIAL web page to find out who is endorsing his campaign.
For you newcomers, here is the link you will want to keep checking:

http://www.vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

No winners this morning, but we'll keep checking back to see who dares to stick their toe into the water---Surely "B-1 Bob" Dornan of California would want to lend his name to Vernon's campaign? Heck, maybe even Ken Starr, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson or Tom DeLay will step up to the plate!

As Vern says, "S T A Y T U N E D" .

DD,

I finished my masters degree there a few years ago.

Knight?

YellowDog, Please tell me why you can't vote for Brad Miller. Please be specific. Thanks.

What bothers me about Mr.Robinson is less what he says, because only the voting public can grant him the ability to act on his statements, than some of the reactions to the things he espouses. While many whites happily trumpet his opinions on social isues as somehow validating their own prejudices because he is a black man, an equal number of blacks just as eagerly attack him as an "Uncle Tom" who is willing to sell out his race for the sake of political gain. Here's a news flash for anyone who falls into either of these categories : race has nothing to do with it. He is either a political parasite taking hypocritical stances for his own benefit or an individual with firmly held beliefs he is willing to take scathing criticism for. I do not know the man personally and I have no idea which might be closer to the truth, but I do know one thing as an unassailable fact. Being black gives you the ability to think, reason, and form your own opinions just like anyone else. It does NOT imbue you with an inborn political leaning that cannot tolerate variance of any sort without selling out your race.

Jan,
You post a great connundrum. Will the REAL Vernon please stand up! Great thought provoking discussion within your post. For many of us, we cannot get past his "homobigot" methods. He appeals to the lowest common denominator within his party. (Just look at his defenders on this blog if you need further proof)
From reading, I believe the REAL Vernon is the one who actually believes his own campaign materials. With that said, I also believe that it gives racist whites great cover for the propogation of their prejudices.

Well, it's that time again. Let's check and see who might be endorsing "Ol Vern"....

http://www.vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

STAY TUNED!

Howie,
My favorite Alan Keyes story is when Alan called Hillary Clinton a "carpetbagger" when she ran for the Senate in New York-----of course it was okay for him to run in a state he never lived in!

You observations on the ones who post here supporting Vernon and Keyes are right on the money. It makes them feel real warm inside for pointing to a black man and saying, "See, I support Vernon and Alan"!

4:30 PM and time to check in with Vernon's endorsements....!!

http://www.vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

Darn it! Vern has no endorsements! And from looking at this thread, what little support he did have here, has run for the exits!
Not to worry, they will rear their
heads again---they always do!

Seems Vernon can count on Oak Ridge Runner, n____n, Hugh and Lilbean to help out with his campaign. They are not "officially" on Vern's site yet, but we have confirmed they are rock solid supporters of VERNON ROBINSON.

Does anyone know how the commitment proceedings for our poor deluded Demented Deacon are coming? It's not very nice to make the poor soul suffer this long without any help.

Please do go to Robinson's website. After you check his endorsements, check out his pictures. Then imagine the person in those pictures being twenty years older and 100 pounds heavier. Then you will have the picture of the real Vernon Robinson.

Guess we can add "Bubba" to the list of Vernon's supporters! As I said in earlier post, we knew some of the regulars would rear their heads! What a "Hall of Shame" we have assembled for Vernon!
Now for our 7:45 PM check of Vernon's Endorsement Page:

Bubba,
There are no institutions for the mentally retarded anymore, the PC police has deemed them too offensive. Now they just turn them loose, and let them fantasise about trips to the citadel and so forth and so on...

It's 11:30 PM and time to check with Vernon's
Endorsements!

Poor old Bubba, Hugh, Oak Ridge Runner, and n_____n. They no longer have supportive things to say about Vernon, so they just want to attack anyone who pulls back the curtain. SOSDD!! LOL.

Well, no endorsements yet, but as Vernon says,
"STAY TUNED"----David Duke is sure to weigh in soon.

SATURDAY JULY 8TH: TIME TO CHECK IN WITH VERNON ROBINSON AND SEE IF HE HAS ALL THE ENDORSEMENTS THAT HUGH CLAIMS ABOVE.

VERNON, HOW ARE ALL THOSE ENDORSEMENTS COMING??

http://www.vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

OH ME! YOU DON'T HAVE ANY YET?

WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?

DON'T WORRY, YOU HAVE SEVERAL, WHO POST HERE, WHO CAN'T WAIT TO HELP OUT WITH YOUR UPLIFTING, "TAKE THE HIGH ROAD", CAMPAIGN!

DD, you are a worthless manipulator and pathetic researcher.

Hugh,

ARE YOU REALLY AS BIG OF AN IDIOT AS YOU APPEAR? CAN YOU READ?

The link you supplied shows who has endorsed Vernon in the past!! It is a device to hide the fact that he has NO current endorsements!

He has a tab on his web page for
C-U-R-R-E-N-T E-N-D-O-R-S-E-M-E-N-T-S!

Under that Tab it says, "STAY TUNED"!
*************************************************

As for RESEARCH, you are pathetic.
The only manipulative event here, is that Vernon's campaign manipulated YOU into thinking VERNON has support after his last campaign for Congress. I suggest you just google Jack Kemp for a funny "withdrawal of support" after the last race Vernon was in. No, Hugh, you are the pathetic one here. Guess Popular Mechanics did endorse Vernon either!! LOLOL!!
************************************************
So, while Hugh is learning how to research using search engines, let's all check in on the Robinson campaign and see how he's doing with those endorsements......

http://www.vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

Oh, Darn! Well, we will just do as Vern says and "Stay Tuned"!!

Hugh, Oak, n____n, and other Vernon Robinson supporters:

If you want to see what kind of person Robinson is AFTER he wins an election, then check out this site:

Hugh,
I am still splitting my sides at you swallowing the hook..You thought Vernon had current endorsements!! LOL!

Hugh says, "Vernon [Robinson]looks like he'll get in there and raise hell."

Well, if Vernon's past is any indication of his future, he won't even show up, much less raise hell! Check out this from the Winston-Salem Journal about Vernon Robinson's attendance at City Council AND his committee attendance. Vernon is Missing In Action!

As P.T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute" and he sure was right---those who look at Robinson as anything other than a cartoon, is a BIG sucker!

Oh, and while we are at it, let's get an update on Vernon Robinson's endorsements for Congress:

http://www.vernonrobinson.com/robinson_contents/endorsements/

Uh oh! Vernon has NO, make that -0- endorsements for Congress this go around! Nada, zilch, None, ZERO! Must be those "LIBERALS" that some whine about, keeping Vernon from getting REPUBLICAN endorsements! (LOL!)

As Bob Dylan might say,

'Where have all Vernon's supporters gone,
long time passing.
Where have all those bigots gone,
long time ago.

Where have all vernon's supporters gone,
gone for cover, every one.

When will they ever learn.
When will they ever learn.'

Congressman Vernon Robinson will bring values, and respect for the laws of the United States of America, when he is elected in November 2006. This is a momentous moment when the decent and sane citizens of the U.S.A. restore our great country.

And the beat goes on, with Vernon Robison, chasing the demon snakes into their caves. The countdown to victory is getting shorter each day.
"Congressman Vernon Robinson" sure rings true.
