Ralph Northam yearbook page shows men in blackface and KKK robe

19 freaking 84.   

The rat woke ass holes upset by this were not even born.   Screw them.

What's good for the goose, I say.  They dragged Kavanaugh's good name through the mud,   there needs to be consequences so they never do it again.

Unless you can show me a a photo of him lighting a cross on fire and roasting marshmallows on it, I don't care.  I know he is a lib bastard, but find another way to can his ass.

On the left, it's only bad when the other side does it:

This is exactly the opposite of what they said about Kavanaugh.

Then they should agree to let the Florida Secretary of State get his job back.

He folded.  Can't save him. 

[Right_in_Virginia]

Oops.   

[Right_in_Virginia]

This was an awful campaign ... accusations against supporters of the President were rampant,

Agree. Maybe by having a little of the rats own medicine poured down their own miserable throats will cause them to rethink the tactic they've perfected.

Otherwise, being retroactively held to standards that shift decade to decade is total madness and needs to stop.

Derrick Johnson, the leader of the NAACP, called for Northam's resignation, as did Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro.

Does the photograph of him in a pu$$y hat counteract this?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Here's a brutal anonymous comment:  "Maybe they should keep him comfortable while they have a discussion."

Yup.

You know, maybe if his views on abortion weren't so reprehensible, I might have agreed.  But he deserves no support from our side, period!

Okay, yeah.  Lets put that aside for a moment.  We can revisit his clinical comments about abortion later.  He is a doctor.  They are not the best when it comes to bedside manor.  In fact, most suck at it.

Deadly!

Call me cynical but ... does anyone think that that If the Lieutenant Governor was a White conservative instead of a self avowed Black Socialist that the Democrats would be piling on like they are with Northam?

[mrclose]

Virginia's Socialist, Democrat, Lieutenant Governor ...

No way.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

No way.

Pretty soon it appears that Democrats will need a sign saying "white men need not apply"

111. 35 years ago and in Virginia?
Give me a break. How far should we be able to go back, into his teens? It was a bad choice but don't let the past have us run out good people on our side for mistakes that were made when times were different and people were young. I grew up in Virginia, it was common for people to wear the confederate flag on their jackets in the 80's, it was the cool thing. It was wrong and there is no excuse for it but decisions made that far back and in your younger years should not cloud your future like this.
sheesh.

The outrage culture is sad, and idiotic.

These smear campaigns, going into someones past, not for criminal acts, but just to find something they find distasteful, is ridiculous.
It makes those who engage in it seem petty and small.

If the internet and the social media phenomenon was around prior to World War 2, we would have never heard the name Winston Churchill, among others.
Yet, today, this is where we find ourselves.

Interesting point, though, that the tactics used to bring down Roy Moore and Brett Cavanaugh, may bring down a Governor who is in favor of the most broad and lenient pro-abortion bills ever,
will not be brought down by that horrific legislation, but because he chose to dress inappropriately several years ago.

"Idiocracy", thy name is 2019.

[Bigun]

And CNN decided that the gov should be a Republican now!

I think the picture bringing him down, was a God thing.  In regards to abortion, I could not believe he said it is okay to kill a baby after it is born alive.  If it is okay to kill a living person after birth, that means you can kill it when it is 12, or 20, or 120.  This picture came up shortly after he said it is okay to kill a live person after birth. Surely, the picture will take him out as well as his nickname when in regular college - Coonman.
