Yes. If I remember rightly he got his start working for Nixon.

Tim,
You hit the nail (several times) on the head with regard to the ambiitons of Mr. McMaster (and his unctuousness). May the good people of SC break their Republican thrall long enough to spare us even four years of such a sideshow.

"... A black Baptist minister was sentenced to 5 years and $75,000 bond for being caught on tape while witnessing 5 minutes of a dog fight that occured 6 years ago. ..."

The filthy scum deserved the sentence. That much is clear.

As for the rest, all some boring local politics, he says, she says, no, he did it, no, she did it, and you see dear, and she says, and I says, life is so hard, blah, blah, blah...

Our Attorney General, here in South Carolina, has been virtually obsessed with prosecuting dog fighting for the last few years. A black Baptist minister was sentenced to 5 years and $75,000 bond for being caught on tape while witnessing 5 minutes of a dog fight that occured 6 years ago.
Our beloved supreme lawyer, here in SC, is also obsessed with prosecuting every single charge of criminal domestic violence. His typical press conference: "There are just too many people beating up women out there." TV ads and billboards: "Stop the Silence. Report domestic violence."
The best Commissioner of Agriculture SC has elected in recent times was removed from office a few years ago and been in jail ever since for being framed, to appear as though he were complicated in a profit of $20,000 for raising chickens for cockfighting.
And, now, our Attorney General has made it all but public that he is running for governor. He faces Gresham Barrett, second only to Ron Paul and Virgil Goode of VA as the best Congressman. Our Charleston scalawag elitist and Speaker of the SC House, Bobby Harrell, is also running. If our Attorney General wins, we can expect 8 years of hearing how backward we are... and all from the sound of his eternally good-ole-boy accent.
This man is obsessed with playing the embarrassed step-uncle of country rubes. He lathers up one of the heaviest Midlands accents known to man, ignores every possible important issue in existance, and then talks about how bad off women and chickens have it because of the backwardness in our tiny little state.
All the while, our rates of cockfighting, dogfighting, and criminal domestic violence are wildly lower than almost every other state. Shameful propaganda.

Of what possible interest could Whoopi’s political allegiance be to any serious person? Dr. Wilson, perhaps those who watch The View are not serious people, and even if Whoopi were to become a Ron Paul supporter and influence members of the audience to look into his candidacy, I'll grant that things would not get better in this country overnight. But I do think that she has the most potential out of the 4 ladies to make that kind of political conversion, and the effects of that on the discussion of political issues on that show would be welcome.

Was it not so that many of the "abolitionists" consider Southerners to be degenerate because of their close association with blacks? As a corollary to this, women, children and blacks were subordinate, to varying degrees of course, in the antebellum South, noting that as minors children still are, again to varying degrees, in all states; however, in the antebellum North - yes, there was an antebellum North just like there is a 4th of July in the United Kingdom - blacks were both defacto and dejure segregated. There is a difference is being subordinate and in being segregated.

It would now seem the Sowells of this world have put the new argument withershins the old one, namely that now blacks are degenerate for having consorted with us. I suppose such is necessary to fit their new narrative. Whatever their narrative, it seems that we are the bad guys.

More profound profundity I cannot generate at this late hour.

What is interesting about Whoopi is that she is apparently no longer a die-hard supporter of the Democratic Party. She says her allegiances (and her political views as well?) are currently in flux--might it be possible that she will support Ron Paul? That would be interesting...
