Excerpt from one of the comments at YouTube:
...The things that come out of the liberal snowflake's [sic] mouths are just like Wow...seriously???? Freaking idiots! They want so badly to paint everyone that doesn't agree w/them a racist they just pop sh*t off at the mouth without even knowing what they're talking about.
Democrat progs exploit the poor minority lack of ID the same way Muslim nations exploit the Palestinians.
ReplyDeleteIn both cases, it would be straighforward to help them, but they don't want to. They want them to remain as a festering sore they can exploit for political gain and to divert attention from their own corruption and incompetence.
And yet when the North Carolina voting law was struck down a lower court found it was enacted “with almost surgical precision” to blunt the influence of African American voters.
DeleteIt wasn't Dems who passed the original law.
As usual the right tries to make this a one sided issue. It's usually here that they trumpet their deep, deep caring for minorities by pointing to their support for charter schools or some such diversion.
An explanation of how such laws prevent minorities from voting would be helpful.
DeleteWhat is your understanding? Can you explain it?
Does the blithe condescension of the young white virtue signalers give you pause?
Please enlighten us.
Duck,
DeleteDid you watch the video?
As for disenfranchising blacks at the voting booth, voter ID is really nothing like the Jim Crow poll tax.
I have to show a photo ID to be hauled off in an ambulance. It is essential to prevent defrauding my health insurance providers.
I have to show my photo ID at any number of places as well.
SF,
DeleteLooking forward to Duck's explanation.
I predict we'll be waiting a long, long time.
DeleteHe's not worth it anyway. I have outed him. There is a direct connection between his utterings and the red propaganda bite of the day pumped out by the usual suspects and well-known propaganda outlets on the left.
I don't detect much original thought in Ducky's comments. He and his ilk accuse Rush Limbaugh of being nothing but an unthinking mouthpiece of Heritage Foundation, while they essentially do the same thing.
The psychological projection is stunning, and his Red Propaganda Meme of the Day is predictable boilerplate from the Progressive Ministry of Truth.
Receiving a state issued photo ID requires the monumental effort to present yourself at the DMV or other state office. Pretending that Blacks are inordinately oppressed by this task, is subconsciously calling them lazy and/or ignorant....and this, racist.
DeleteIf you can't drag your carcass to a state office for an ID....how do you drag your carcass to the voting booth?

CI,
DeleteUp votes for that comment!
Here's the original though to your reaction to the post of an immature Watter's World knockoff that passes for informed news on the fringe right.
DeleteThere has been an attempt by the right (ref: CI's reply) to limit the question of voter suppression strictly to the issue of ID.
Follow the record of legislation after repeal of the Voting Rights act by the Supreme Court and you will understand the full scope of new legislation.
It includes restrictions on early voting, reduced polling locations in black neighborhoods, voter roll purges as well as ID requirements.
Again, a U.S. court said the North Carolina law (they don't just protect your rest rooms) found it was enacted “with almost surgical precision” to blunt the influence of African American voters.
The exercise here is to present an argument that the right is engaged in voter suppression and allow them to limit the discussion to ID which is just one arrow in their suppression quiver.
I'll wait till you check out Michael Savage's position on the issue before you reply.
I can't even finish reading your blab...so you're suggesting that many Democrats DON'T find voter ID too tough for minorities to comply with?
DeleteTell us...
And, by the way, do you know that Black families WANT CHARTER SCHOOLS? WANT vouchers so THEIR kids, TOO, can participate in GOOD SCHOOLS.
WHere the hell do you get your information? Think, man.
No surprise you didn't finish. You head for the fainting couch any time your world is challenged.
DeleteAs for charter schools, well I take a lot of my views from the experience in Massachusetts where they aren't very common and expansion was just voted down by a wide margin (yes, even minorities in Boston voted them down).
Poor Massachusetts school kids ...
And Massachusetts has a strong teachers union too ... think woman. It's true that black parents want good schools, of course that goes without saying but there i no evidence that charters are offering an answer. They average no better than public schools.
But Betsy DeVos has the answers. Married to the CEO of the largest Ponzi scheme in history and sister of a massive Iraq war profiteer will bring her extensive educational knowledge.
Now if you read this far back to the pearl clutching.
Duck,
DeleteNo need to mention the fainting couch or pearl clutching.
I have to show government ID to purchase a firearm, in accordance with my Constitutional rights......so expecting the same in order to vote makes me a big ol' racist I guess.
ReplyDeleteUnless the snowflakes want to support no ID for firearms sales...I'm cool with that.
- CI
CI,
DeleteI have to show my voter ID at several places. Anytime that I misplace my wallet, I nearly have heart failure because obtaining a new photo ID requires my birth certificate -- post 9/11, BTW.
Blacks wake-up; condescending White DemocRAT Liberals are NOT your friends! The latter come across as nothing more than over-indoctrinated fools who suffer from the illusion that [they]somehow posses superior knowledge when, in actuality, all they can do is regurgitate, by rote, the drivel from their, so called, educators. That is, after they have been completely purged of common sense! Examples of this occasionally appear on this site.
ReplyDelete"A lot of blacks have awakened"
DeleteThat's true but I believe that >90% still vote DemocRAT.
Did anyone ever stop to think that eliminating any and all requirements to show ID validation might work in OUR favor?
ReplyDeleteTHINK! "We" could vote EARLY, vote OFTEN, and vote OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER at EVERY POLLING STATION in our community and in any AREA of OUR STATE, and in ANY STATE we could reach by automobile or even by airplane.
With careful planning and determination a crafty, devious conservative partisan could cast as many as FIFTEEN or TWENTY VOTES –– maybe more –– for the candidates of his or her choice.
You can be sure that THAT is EXACTLY what the D'Rat operatives fully intend to do with the idiotic policies they are determined to put in place.
Well, TURNABOUT is FAIR PLAY, and What's Sauce for the Goose is Sauce for the Gander, and all that, so why not turn the electoral process into a REAL FREE-FOR-ALL?
May the most DEVIOUS, DETERMINED and ENERGETIC CHEATERS WIN!
HOOP DEE DOO! WHOOPEE! Let CHAOS be our KING. WOWEE! WHAT FUN! I can't wait.
IN the INTERESTS of UNFETTERED LIBERTY by all means SUPPORT UNLIMITED VOTER FRAUD!!!
SO SO STUPID are these people...'They don't live in areas where it's easy to get ID!" WHAT???
ReplyDeleteThis is what Bush called "the soft bigotry of low expectations" and most of us, including you, have blogged on this for a long time. To hear supposedly intelligent people buying into the CRAP that Blacks just can't get it together enough to vote is literally SICKENING.
But, we're the racists....OH, ya, I forgot. Sorry. Oops.
(sarcasm)
Watching righturds twist and turn to try prove voter ID laws don't suppress the vote for minorities and the poor after they were caught red handed doing just that is priceless.
ReplyDeleteAnd the party of the white supremacists trying to prove liberals are the 'real' racists is just too hysterical!

or interview ANY elderly rural person? Geeesh!
ReplyDeleteYes, loved this video and all of his work generally. He has guts. Who else would waive an Israeli flag on a UC campus without a bodyguard? (OK, he only lasted 20 minutes before the threats got too serious)
As for "voter restrictions" like taking dead people off the rolls and not giving cheaters a month to run around to every precinct. YES! We want to preserve the integrity of every vote by restricting these shenanigans. Which liberal all-Dem state was it that I wrote about (NJ, RI, ??) whose voter ID laws stemmed from 2 experiences of a female black state legislator? 1) She took her mother to vote soon after he father died and they discovered he had - miraculously - 'voted' - signed the registry and all! and 2) In a subsequent election as she left the polls she saw a young man duck into his car, change clothes, come out looking completely different, and he went in and voted again. She then sponsored the law to require ID. This is only common sense. Any denial of that stems from an agenda other than election integrity.
Now we know 37% of polls in the Detroit metro area recorded more votes on their machines than were manually counted by the precinct workers. Two weeks ago we heard the remotely plausible explanations, and now we know as of yesterday's new they weren't very plausible at all. IT'S OBVIOUS WHAT'S GOING ON!
And I agree with Z - I'm so sick of the soft bigotry of low expectations.
Baysider,
DeleteWhat was finally determined about that voting mess in Detroit? I wasn't able to watch or read much news yesterday. Dealing with another surgery complication laid me low. Again. **sigh**
Baysider,
DeleteYes, requiring proper ID at the ballot box is only common sense! We go to the ballot box to elect people who make the laws that affect every aspect of our lives.
For one thing, Michigan has a Republican secretary of state. She is ordering an audit to look for fraud, error or negligence. Apparently this started with finding a precinct that had 306 votes recorded from 50 ballots! I don't think this is what Jill Stein intended to start.
DeleteSo it was a partial recount. Apparently a court ordered it to complete by last Friday, and they are done as best as I can determine.
This is technically off-topic, but it goes to the issue of "the narratives" flying around and being trumpet by the media and others...
ReplyDeleteSHE MADE IT UP: NYPD Arrests Muslim Girl Who Claimed Attack by Trump Supporters.
Nostradumbass doesn't care about ringers voting (as long as they don't vote Republican). Every poll I've seen gives Voter ID a super-majority and I don't give a crap about the opinions of paranoids, race-baiters, ne'er-do-wells and leftist operatives (I know, its redundant).
ReplyDeleteAll EU nations require voter ID, Australia requires all eligible citizens to vote and enforces it with ID. Canada requires ID even Mexico requires ID. The list of Nations that do is tremendous but for some reason, here in the US, we're a bunch of racists if we think a person should prove that they are who they say they are, we are RAAACCCISTS!
Give it a rest, ducks ass.
That's right Warren, I'm not concerned about ringers voting because I've seen nothing to suggest it's a serious issue.
DeleteIn fact, there is evidence that the suppression caused by ID requirements would be a more serious issue.
So before you make silly accusations of what I care about and don't care about just ask.
As I have posted here, I am much more concerned about voter suppression and the rabies media effort to generate mistrust in the voting process is also a concern.
Give it a rest, Warren.
Oh please!
DeleteIts readily apparent what you care about.You sound like a less than coherent parody of Radio Havana.
All hail the great white savior of the masses and his endless virtue signaling screeds. Its dimwits like you that generate mistrust in the voting process! That's why the general population, at large, wants voter ID nation wide.
Warren @ Duck,
DeleteYou sound like a less than coherent parody of Radio Havana.
Spew alert for that!
Warren,
DeleteIts dimwits like you that generate mistrust in the voting process!
Maybe that's the hidden agenda.
Yea, they can get an EBT card, Hell, they can even make it to a polling place multiple times to vote more than once, but damn it's SO hard to get a picture ID.... What a pathetic argument. Hard to believe anyone over the age of 2 can buy into that. That is what is disturbing.
Delete@AOW:
Delete"Maybe that's the hidden agenda."
It isn't hidden very well to those who pay attention.
It's an actual form of voter suppression.
Why bother to vote if you believe your vote doesn't count because some lowlife will vote multiple times to cancel your vote out? (and get away with it)
Why are "elderly Hispanics" or "elderly blacks" less competent than anyone else in the US to obtain a photo ID? Sounds both racist and ageist on your part! You would think that if progressieves actually knew anyone without a valid photo ID that they'd help them get one, rather than constantly whine about victimhood.
ReplyDeleteMike,
ReplyDeleteYou would think that if progressieves actually knew anyone without a valid photo ID that they'd help them get one, rather than constantly whine about victimhood.
My opinion as well!
Perhaps this comment was INVISIBLE to all except me, or perhaps you thought I was JOKING? I assure you I was NOT so I'm posting it AGAIN for your enlightenment and edification. I hope THIS time it may be VISIBLE?

FT,
DeleteI'd hate to see it come to that!
In order for some people to feel superior, (usually dumbasses like libs) they must have others who they are convinced are inferior.
ReplyDeleteI hope all those snowflakes somehow picked up on this and watched the vid. Yea, that's right, it is you who are the racists.
Yea, Show me an elderly (pick your minority group here) and I'll drive the sucker to the ID place.
ReplyDeleteUnreal... I'll bet they made it to the welfare office! Geeeezus! duck, you're butt is showing again.
Kid,
ReplyDeleteI have an off the cuff question...Does accessing welfare or welfare payments require showing ID at some point?
Watching righturds twist and turn to try prove voter ID laws don't suppress the vote for minorities and the poor after they were caught red handed doing just that is priceless.

Trump won Michigan by fewer than 11,000 votes out of nearly 4.8 million
ReplyDeletevotes cast. Green Party presidential contender Dr. Jill Stein attempted
to force Michigan to hold a recount, but a federal judge ordered
Michigan’s Board of Elections to stop the state’s electoral recount. One
big question remains: Why did 75,335 ballots go uncounted?
