"And the hits just keep on coming:

The 1981 yearbook for the Virginia Military Institute, page 90, lists Gov. Ralph Northam's nickname as "Coonman."

I like how he apologized for it yesterday, but today he’s saying it’s not him. He’s done.

[N_Fiddledog]

You know he's done because yesterday CNN was scrolling news about him and they put an R next to his name on the screen, rather than a D. He's a Democrat.

I doubt it was an honest mistake. Not even Freudian works as an excuse. Most likely planned.

Call me old fashioned but I don't believe the stupid things you did 35 years ago should be what defines you as a person today and I personally don't give a shit what the PC crowd thinks about anyone's character because if truth be known most of them are sorely lacking in that dept.

If some idiotic picture taken over 3 decades ago is now the criteria for refusing someone a position of authority or trust then, there likely isn't one person on this scum sucking rock who could honourably take the position. I also wonder if the perpetually outraged bothered to look past their biases at this gentleman's past history because, if they had they'd have seen he's a Veteran who served with honour in the US Military as a doctor during the the Gulf War.

You don't have to like the man or even agree with him but the one thing you have to do is admit that one stupid picture doesn't necessarily define him or his character. But, it's good to know that the lives this man saved or the good he did doesn't mean shit because an indiscretion decades ago are what will forever be used to define him as a man.

I agree with you FOG but if Democrats want to make "blame the man for the child" their standard they judge others by they can live by their own rules.

Good day for the actual genuine Klan, who all support Donald Trump and the GOP, when some Dem guy has to step down because of playing pretend-Klan. Not like Northam attacked a girl the way Brett Kavanaugh did.

The irony of a Democrat being caught (if not blackface) wearing a KKK hood when the left has spent the last 2 weeks equating the MAGA hat with the KKK hood.

Are we really on a "prison planet"? Really?

Shouldn't be too much trouble finding enough neo-Nazis and other types wearing MAGA gear. If I get around to giving a fuck at all about it I'll track some down and post them.

Wife stops Governor Northam from performing Michael Jackson's Moonwalk because it would be 'inappropriate' after reporter asked him if he could still perform it at train-wreck press conference

The 59-year-old from Nassawadox became more of a laughing stock when he brazenly admitted to dressing up as the late singer
While taking questions, a reporter asked Virginia Governor Ralph Northam: 'Are you still able to moonwalk?'
Northam appeared to look around to see if he had enough space to do the dance move

I was thinking something similar to the girl in the video below:



She's gone all in on the conspiracy angle though. It's possible, I guess, but I was just thinking it was odd how this story about Northam as racist buried the one from the day before about what a clown Northam was for pushing infanticide. Maybe it shouldn't. Maybe it's better to look at both stories together to get an idea of the type of morons we're dealing with in the Democratic party.

[N_Fiddledog]

We already know the prefabricated, Proggish reply to that and pretty much anything else by the way, but I'll save some of you some time and just offer it up front for you.

"Buh..buh...but TRUMP!"
