Lee Atwater as an example
AC W: "Quotes are not necessary..."
Right, because there are none. This is a tacit admission that your original remarks are nothing more than a fantasy in your head. Its what you want to believe about somebody else--but it turns out to be true about you. This is known as a projection or taking unconsciously unpleasant aspects of your character and projecting those qualities onto another person. You paint all Democrats into racists because that's what you are.
AC W: "...Byrd is still embraced by the Democratic Party."
As practicing Christians they are obligated to embrace a person who confesses their sin and asks forgiveness. Obviously you are not trapped by that primitive mythology. Which reminds me of Lee Atwater, one of the preeminent ratfuckers for the Republican Party. Carl Rove was one of his students.
Atwater apologizes:
"Shortly before his death from a brain tumor, Atwater said he had converted to Catholicism, through the help of Fr. John Hardon, S.J.,[10] and, in an act of repentance, Atwater issued a number of public and written letters to individuals to whom he had been opposed during his political career, including Dukakis. In a letter to Tom Turnipseed dated June 28, 1990, he stated, "It is very important to me that I let you know that out of everything that has happened in my career, one of the low points remains the so-called 'jumper cable' episode," adding, "my illness has taught me something about the nature of humanity, love, brotherhood and relationships that I never understood, and probably never would have. So, from that standpoint, there is some truth and good in everything."[11]
In a February 1991 article for Life Magazine, Atwater wrote:
My illness helped me to see that what was missing in society is what was missing in me: a little heart, a lot of brotherhood. The '80s were about acquiring — acquiring wealth, power, prestige. I know. I acquired more wealth, power, and prestige than most. But you can acquire all you want and still feel empty. What power wouldn't I trade for a little more time with my family? What price wouldn't I pay for an evening with friends? It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye with that truth, but it is a truth that the country, caught up in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay, can learn on my dime. I don't know who will lead us through the '90s, but they must be made to speak to this spiritual vacuum at the heart of American society, this tumor of the soul."
Amen, brother. As an ultra-liberal Democrat and absolute reductionist, I would have absolutely no problem embracing that man. Your time for that, I would say, is not yet here.
Another brain tumore has motivated David Kuo to speak out about his time in the White House.
AC W: "This is a discussion board. Nothing more.
No. It is way more. It is a place where you can project your nightmares about life and the world onto a large audience. It is a place where you can pull stuff off the merrygoround of your internal rantings and exaggerations and projections and say they are the truth about other people. It is a place where you can tell a lie and see it propagated at the speed of light. Yeah, its more than a discussion board.
