Is the Council of Conervative Citizens a racist group?

[Zarn]

It's a misconception that the CCC is a right-wing group. Of course they are a left-wing organization.

It depends entirely on economics and fiscal matters.

Of course there are those of us who prefer not to use such a narrow scope of looking at things...

Other people's definitions make libertarians left-wing and just about authoritarians right wing. They don't work, and they creating a confusing political spectrum.

Duh....

What an easy poll question...

[Magic 8-Ball]

Of course.

[MaxQue]

Of course, though their 14th plank looks pretty good.

Who is the Republican that voted no?  Vanderblubb, Coburn?

[JSojourner]

wasnt trent lott a member?

No.  He and Haley Barbour have both flirted with the group, speaking at CofCC events, but stopping short of endorsing them.

Their biggest supporters have come from the State legislatures down south and from ex governor and "pro family, born again" horn dog Kirk Fordice.

[pogo stick]

they are racist.

[Torie]

The outfit most certainly is racist.

Wait, seriously?  You're asking if the CCC is racist?  I thought it was pretty generally accepted that it was the movement that well-heeled Southern racists moved into once membership in the KKK became societally unacceptable and déclassé.  Hell, the acronym's intentional similarity with KKK is a total giveaway.

No question about it they are racist.  In the Mississippi thread I got into a bit of an argument on the CCC with Coburn (who is probably a fake poster anyway) when he insisted the organization wasn't racist.  So I decided to throw up a poll, just to prove how wrong his ignorant ass was.

[Governor PiT]

they are racist.

I alaways have and always will support Israel. I hate the Palestinians.

 

[Smash255]

No votes so far, Stark, and who else?  Vanderblubb & Coburn most likely??  Shocker..

[Zarn]

For the record, I said yes.

Then again I'm Hispanic.

Numbers 2 & 8 seem the most odious of the lot. The rest of those principles aren't that horrible. I don't know enough about the organizations members to say anything about them.

Just by skimming the page, I think I'd agree with States.

Yeah, I skimmed to, that's why I missed that part in point six. You can add that to my odious list.

I just read the titles of each subpoint and then went and read them if it looked suspicious - I figured that was just an anti-gay marriage section, but didn't realize that by traditional marriage they meant white & white / black & black as well.

So now we got a 3rd R vote.  Who is the other utterly disgusting Republican that won't admit it?

That could be anyone playing games. We have no idea.

They do?

That's your opinion.  There is no correct way of framing the political spectrum, and if more than anything it relies on some sort of consensus.
