Didn't even watch your own video, huh? Reich never said "no new jobs for white men". That's an outrageous distortion of what he did say.

Oh please, political weasel wording at its finest. He said no new jobs for white male construction workers. You think if Trump said no new jobs for black construction workers it would fly?

How many accounts is this tool allowed to have? You can't tell me that imported_ats and the other 8-20 imported_x accounts aren't from the same person or organization. Plus, he's clearly retarded... can somebody limit the number of alts so this idiot can quit posting and get back in the job market?

He's made it quite far for that. That Chinese spammer last night made it even further.

Like so many other authoritarian lefties you just hate the idea that someone not only disagrees with your opinion, but makes fun of you as well. Then, again like most authoritarian lefties, you want to shut up your opposition by sending them to the gulag or to re-education camps. I only have this single PURCH account, no others.

We've been here before -- in 2000. The repetition I find boring.

MYTH: We have a collective, democratic decision, so the outcome is always "right," always "wise," always "informed."

No.

It isn't. It's easy to create generalizations about "authoritarian liberals," but just who is being "authoritarian?" It's not "authoritarian" to allow three-dollar-bills to marry. It's not "authoritarian" to allow folks to smoke a doobie in their own home. It's not "authoritarian" to let some protester burn the stars and stripes. The list goes on.

While hindsight, e-mails and witnesses inform me that I actually predicted everything over the remaining eight years of the Bush presidency, I haven't any concrete predictions at the moment, but one.

The next four years will likely be a disaster. What for? Because Taj can't apply the logical rigor of analytic geometry or logical deduction based on empirical fact to "current events" or "public policy" or "election outcomes?"

I've seen at least 5 different posters with the name "imported_x" posting in different forums on here. It is my understanding that using multiple accounts is a violation of the forum rules, but I guess you are an exception? Other posters can vouch for the presence of many "imported_x" accounts posting as different people, so it's not just me. Congratulations on effectively evading a permaban, I guess? It's pretty obvious at this point.

What part of "not simply go to" do you fail to comprehend? He went on to name other groups he felt the stimulus should benefit as well.

Don't let Lou Dobbs' bullshit commentary affect your judgement of what was actually said.

Ignore the parts of the video that weren't Reich's words. Start at 30 seconds in & quit when the clip shifts back to the commentator/ propagandist.

Or is that too much to ask?

As far as i know i'm the only imported_tajmahal poster anyplace. I made up the name because i like Taj_Mahal the blues singer. Back in the day i had a real nice imported version of an album of his.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taj_Mahal_(musician) No mystery and i follow the forum rules as best i can.

Now that would be funny. I saw a Washington Post op-ed suggesting Clinton turn her electoral college votes over to a different repub in an attempt to influence further EC votes to jump ship. I care a lot less about republican vs democrat in the presidency compared to absolute scumbag vs reasonable and respectable person.

maybe this is how JEB! gets elected.

slow and steady indeed.

Here is the full video. You can start it around 28:00 mark. Really no context beyond that needed.

https://www.c-span.org/video/?283157-1/economic-recovery-plan

He is not saying that there should not be any new jobs for white construction workers. He is saying that the limited money should have priorities set where white construction workers would carry less of a value. Assuming he does not believe that stimulus inherently is directed at white construction workers, then you can assume he thinks that on a merit basis white construction workers would be more likely to get money, and he wants a system that would lower their value in that context.

Sadly, there is something worth talking about, but those on the right get bogged down in dumb shit to not make it into something its not. Reich is saying that the limited money should be directed to people that are not white construction workers because they are less in need.

If I wrote that I would say they are 'more' in need because the subject you are talking about is non-white construction workers, the subject of the sentence.

Not more as in not just, but more as in need of more. He lumps in high skilled and white construction workers for a reason. The implication that they are not going to be as hurt by a slow economy vs others and thus saying that minorities and women should be valued higher when there is a comparison.

Reich is saying that limited money should to to non-white workers because non-white workers are MORE in need. White workers are in LESS need. The THEY you used should refer to the subject of the sentence. The THEY that is the subject is non whites not whites. You went with 'they' for the most proximal noun not the subject noun which makes it read wrong to me.

So it's just a coincidence that 5 plus other posters happened to want to use "imported_" as the exact same first 9 characters for their forum name, and that they all have terrible spelling, grammar, capitalization... and they all offer zero useful insights whatsoever. I see...

That has to do with one of the changes of forum software, some people got "imported_" stuck on them for whatever reason during the transfer. There are probably hundreds of them, it's not a multi-account thing.

It is odd that he had a convenient explanation for his name though. o_O No one would pay older AT forum users for an account like they do eBayers, would they?

That actually makes sense. My apologies to Taj_Mahal, I was wrong.
