Racist Thompson? |
|
|
Posted by rbseabeach on Tue Nov 3 13:18:08 2009 Back in the summer, Billy Thompson was at a function when someone insulted Speaker Christine Quinn. Thompson said nothing.Over the weekend Billy Thompson was a guest of a radio host on an urban radio station. A caller insulted Mike Bloomberg saying he only cares about Jews. Billy was quiet? Mmmm Any thoughts? |

What was he supposed to say?Now, if he said he agreed then yes you can say he is a racist. Actually, IMHO he did the right thing, because if he spoke out against the remark in some way he might have validated it, by staying quite he was saying it meant nothing. By the way this should be in OTC. |

Honestly I do not know and I do not know how I would have reacted.I do think a friendly response such as "I do not think it is a good idea to speak that way" would have worked for me. But he said absolutely nothing and it was not the only time. |

I took several conflict resolution courses for dealing with crowds and public and they tell you not to talk back take it and move on |

This belongs elsewhere,fella..perhaps on the OT BOARD.In any case..his non-comment does not make him a "racist" in the slightest sense. What I take offense to is your pandering for like minds to chime in with agreement. If You feel he slighted someone..then SAY SO. Your blantant attempts to derail him shows how weak you are. |

You are free to have an opinion and I am as well. Too bad it does not work for this white house. THey have no problem with the media that agrees with them But.... God forbid you disagree or really report the facts like Fox News does, then it is war against Fox News. |

I hate to tell you but FNC is number 1.I guess a lot of people are buying. I like the capital letters. |

MIke's record is so extensive even the NY Slimes had no choice but to endorsed him.The only thing Thompson can hang his hat onto is the term limits thing. Remember it was his disastrous "Leadership" at the Board of Education that led to Mayoral Control. |

I don't follow...I don't need anyone to make up my mind for me...which FOX tries awfully hard to do. I don't like FOX NEWS..never did... Perhaps if they did some serious soul searching..[If they had one] then I might watch. |

They have opinions on both sides of the political spectrum. The other networks and cable news only has one perspective. Check the ratings.I am sure glad Obama endorsed Thompson & Corzine. |
