Herschel

[Jimmy W]

"If we was ready for the green agenda, I'd raise my hand right now. But we're not ready right now. So don't let them fool you like this is a new agenda. This is not a new agenda," Walker said at a campaign stop in Peachtree City. "We're not prepared. We're not ready right now. What we need to do is keep having those gas-guzzling cars, 'cause we got the good emissions under those cars. We're doing the best thing that we can."

[CWSmith]

He is being dishonest. What Biden is trying to do, as I see it, is to build the infrastructure that will make electric cars more viable. That's the necessary step to being prepared. He seems to be using the lack of that infrastructure as a reason not to invest in it.

[John Smith]

Walker's suffered many concussions. Graham thinks that's a good thing. I disagree.

[LeeG]

He’s sayin’what people are thinkin’! Just don’t change nuthin! btw Herschel does 3500 situps a day

[skuthorp]

Man will never 'be ready' for that change. It wil be forced upon him at great financial and human cost, if then.

[Tom Wilkinson]

They ran Herschel because he is a black man with name recognition that will vote the way they tell them.

Define "ready". The day is coming. It's a matter of preparing for it, or letting it hit us in the face.

They think we wouldn't call a black man a S head.

Great moment in the movie "Respect":

"I don't hate you because you're a negro. I hate you because you're a giant A hole."

-- said by the owner of Muscle Shoals to Aretha Franklin's husband/manager

[Chip-skiff]

Incoherent, dishonest, lecherous: the perfect Republican candidate.

[sandtown]

Let's leave out mention of Walker's concussions. We don't know anything about it..

Disagree - what do we know about Trump's narcissism ?? Fetterman's stroke ?? Biden's stuttering ??

To my way of thinking, Walker is a more sympathetic figure because he clearly seems injured.

[willin woodworks]

Maybe it has nothing to do with concussions. Maybe he's just a dim bulb.

[icyb]

I agree with twodot people looked down on Dr Oz for bringing up Fettermans stroke multiple times.

Wow. So you are politely calling him an Uncle Tom.

[John Smith]

I agree with previous posts on the forum:

We don't know anything about it.

It is best to comment on what we do know.

I didn't bring up the concussions; Lindsay Graham did. Graham seems to think multiple concussions qualify one to be a senator.

[L.W. Baxter]

Wow. So you are politely calling him an Uncle Tom.

looks like you are the one doing that.

it's possible to speak critically of an individual without employing a demeaning stereotype.

is the race of herschel walker convenient electorally to georgia republicans?

who said this: "oh, look at my african-american over here".

yup

[LeeG]

Ready as in willing and able to make sacrifices for no direct personal benefit. The “day” is decades long with plenty of time to process new nformation and make changes. Those changes run counter to our psychology and the turbocharged growth that fossil fuels brought. A very simple example is the need to reduce gasoline consumptuon in transportation, a low hanging fruit. Doing that in the lowest cost way should come by planned increases in fuel prices to encourage less wastefull use. We’re 30 yrs since the last time the Fed fuel tax was adjusted for inflation and about 25 yrs since it should have been adjusted. But instead we effectively have subsidized fuel because more energy flow means more money flow. To deny ourselves the inheritance of fossil energy is like refusing any other found wealth, it aint happenin.

[L.W. Baxter]

you are the one using the demeaning stereotype, “boatbum”. twice now.

just like donald, employing identity politics at your convenience, as a method of deflection from the very real dynamic. smear critics of walker and his candidacy with accusations of using a demeaning stereotype, which gives you the opportunity to gleefully employ the words yourself. nobody else is using that name. just you.

is walker’s race convenient to republicans in a contest against another black man?

is walker, the individual man, being used for his type?

“look at my african american over here”.

you voted for that guy. you share brain space with him. what’s it like?

[Gerarddm]

I refer you to Dave Chappelle's simple comment that the guy is just unbelievably stupid, and leave it at that.

The Republicans ran him in Georgia because he had a stellar Georgia college football career.

[Tom Wilkinson]

Wow. So you are politely calling him an Uncle Tom.

Are you trying to say he actually has some qualifications for the job? Maybe you could list them.
Please compare and contrast with the qualifications of Mr Warnock.

Nah. He's just trying to derail the critique.

[Joe (SoCal)]

I have to say Hershels comments sound similar to some if the anti EV comments we have here on occasions. Just saying

[John Smith]

I used to think being able to speak in proper English, and put together proper sentences, was a requirement for higher office. Then Trump got elected.

[stromborg]

If Walker loses the runoff, how fast do you think he'll move back to Texas? A state where he claimed a "homestead" property tax exemption on his house for the past ten years before moving back to Georgia to run for Senate.

[LeeG]

So the topic is Herschel not the populist mish mash he regurgitates.

[CWSmith]

I refer you to Dave Chappelle's simple comment that the guy is just unbelievably stupid, and leave it at that.

Chappelle caught a lot of heat for his jokes on Saturday. The anti-defamation league went after him, too. I didn't catch anything especially offensive, but I was only half listening.

[Canoeyawl]

He’s sayin’what people are thinkin’! Just don’t change nuthin! btw Herschel does 3500 situps a day

Which is a prerequisite for office only if you do them naked, in front of a mirror...

[rbgarr]

They ran Herschel because he is a black man with name recognition that will vote the way they tell them.

And Walker's getting played by GOP fundraising: https://www.yahoo.com/video/walker-c...021431966.html

[willin woodworks]

Does anyone really believe that TFG picked Walker for reason other than his being black? Really?

[George Jung]

That, and compliant, and toeing the trump line.

Not at all. I'm just saying that if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. You can hide behind whatever words you want, he was still calling him an Uncle Tom.

[George Jung]

Actually, only you have used that term.

[WX]

That sounds obsessive to me, doesn't he have a life?

[beernd]

But he does think that "America is the best country in the US" that does make him a stable intelect and a true patriot. . .
