[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re not talking about him smoking a joint 30 years ago Or some other such youthful indiscretion.[b]I am his age and it would have been inconceivable to me to put on blackface for any occasion. And I don’t know anyone else who would’ve thought that acceptable in 1984.[/b] We’re not talking about the 1960s.

I was watching his press conference live and he said two things that I can’t get past. 1) he claimed it wasn’t him in the photo after saying just yesterday that it WAS him in the photo.  Which is it?   On this point alone I find him untruthfull. 2) In an obvious ploy to get ahead of future criticism, he did admit during his press conference to having dressed up like Michael Jackson for a dance competition, including putting on black face. Ummmm....How is that more acceptable than the thing you were accused of?

He’s got to go. He’s a relic of the old Virginia and we (I live in VA) need to move forward into the future.[/quote]

All of this. It says something about him as a person, not a youthful indiscretion. He needs to go.[/quote]
