Typical Republican never calling out the bad apples

What's the double standard here?
Using her political position demanding the (bank) teller knowingly cash a bad check
Bullying and berating the teller calling them a "house n!@@#&
Retaining an attorney to defend her actions - dispute/dismiss the citation

So you think that no Republican has ever use their position to try to take advantage of a situation, especially in a petty way and then lawyered up to try to get out of it
That's the double standard you're imagining?
-
Using the N-word may be a double standard, for sure, if she'd be unhappy with a white colleague using it. Either it's wrong to her, or it isn't.

sure, that's a racial double standard (this woman is black right?) but how is it a Dem double standard?

Isn't there an alleged cause to "end racism" in that party? Hilary certainly claimed it.
But Lena Taylor may have disagreed, true. She might've backed Trump for all we know.
-
I'm just so, so, so glad we don't have to hear nonsense like that for a while. A politician standing on stage, ignoring the real issues, but frowning and pointing into the air: "End Raciscm!" "End Homophobia!" as though we're supposed to stand at attention and blame one another for all problems. Problems caused by corporations aided by the person on stage.

you're saying that Dems have an "alleged" cause to end racism and Repuplicans don't share that cause?
Does Lena Taylor speak for the entire Democratic Party?
Is that how it works
Republicans have an "alleged cause" to end legal access to abortion yet I can show you an example of a pro-life Republican who had an affair (we'll ignore the adultery) and urged his mistress to get an abortion. Should we assume his actions are representative of the entire Republican party ?
Still not sure if Princess L was even referring to the racial slur at the "alleged" double standard. Maybe she was referring to something else

Great example of Liberal Loser Hypocrisy
-
Pales in comparison to the Typical Republican Double Standard. The anti abortion, "family values christian" not only cheats on his wife but when he mistress gets pregnant her urges her to get an abortion
I guess Repubs can take consolation in the fact that he only cheated on his wife and urged his mistress to get an abortion
At least he wasn't a fundi homophobe who got caught toe tapping in a mens room or fundie preacher who got caught smoking crack with a male prostitute
Pro-life congressman Tim Murphy resigns in 'abortion scandal
Tim Murphy announced on Wednesday night he would not stand in next year's mid-term elections.
But the Pennsylvania Republican has now said he will resign from the House of Representatives on 21 October.
His lover suggested he was a hypocrite when he allegedly proposed she seek an abortion.
Only this week he voted for a bill that would outlaw abortions after 20 weeks.
House Speaker Paul Ryan confirmed he had received Mr Murphy's letter of resignation on Thursday.
"We thank him for his many years of tireless work on mental health issues here in Congress and his service to the country as a naval reserve officer," Mr Ryan said in a statement.[/quote]

Why are you bringing this up? we are talking about a liberal......cant take your own advice can you ::)

Just showing an example of a Republican double standard
This single person actions is a reflection of the entire party ....right?
BTW - I think Princess is suggesting the double standard is that this woman hired an attorney
That's the thing she specifically mentioned in her post after calling out the double standard
How is hiring an attorney a double standard?

Laughable that you see this as wrong, but support the piece of shit in the white house. Double standard maybe?

If it were a white Rep. there would be outrage all over the national news demanding at the very least an apology, but likely a resignation instead of buried on p. 2 of the local rag. It's not only blatant racism, she demanded the teller commit fraud by cashing a bad check and is trying to use her political power to have the incident and citation quashed.

If a white person with any notoriety or fame called a black person a the N word of course it would be a bigger story
Not sure it would be national story given that this is a state senator
Still not sure what if you think this is a "dem double standard" or if you just think this person is a "typical Dem" because you think all Dems have double standards
which one is it and why do you believe it?
-

It's a fake cause, but a very real dodge from solving problems. It's something that could only happen one person at a time, if ever on this earth, and yelling it on stage does nothing but make it stronger with certain individuals. The politicians know it.
How 'bout they do something meaningful for a change. And yes it's been a one-sided thing (the other side has it's own bullshit).
Does Lena Taylor speak for the entire Democratic Party?
Probably. But she didn't quite mean to reveal it as she did that day.

Weird how you're ok with this analogy when using it yourself, but when others use it, you get all uppity and say it's not about other people.

They allow Truth & Fact
Blacks kill shoot people including others blacks
Blacks have a hugely disproportionate crime rate

Black fathers have baby mommas & don’t stick around for there kids
Blacks on average have significantly lower intelligence
Etc etc
No Racism just truth & facts
Likewise there are a good many Decent hard working intelligent
Law abiding fathers & mothers who are black.

First off do you live in the United States? Are you American?
I've never shot anybody. So white people dont shoot/kill other white people? Serial killers? Child molesters? I can go on and on.
I dont have a record.
I've never been to jail or prison.
I don't have kids and my dad didnt abandon the family unlike Donald Trump did with each woman he had kids with.
Although education means shyt these days(look at the clown in the white house)I've got 2 college degrees.
No its not truth and facts. Its just your racist beliefs.

She's typical in so much as she doesn't believe rules, laws and standards should apply to her. She needs to be held accountable for her behavior and actions instead of using her position and connections to sweep it under the rug. I have no doubt that her constituents don't care and won't vote her out of office. That doesn't mean that the rest of us shouldn't try to hold her accountable and hold her to the same standard we hold to everyone else. She should be made to apologize and forced to resign or forced out of her caucus by her fellow Democrats over this. This is ugly and unacceptable racist behavior from a sitting State Senator.

Wow, hard to believe ANYONE would act like that, especially an elected official
We've never seen that before from a Republican
Typical "Dem Only" Double Standard

ohh we hit a nerve did I
Having guilty feelings are you
Read again what I wrote - It doesn't mention You Specifically does it
So why would you feel the need to reply as if it was directed at you.
And the statistics & facts are everywhere reference blacks
in general & the associated problems.
I also wrote that there are -----
"Likewise there are a good many Decent hard working intelligent
Law abiding fathers & mothers who are black."
You are one of the decent good ones then
Though your reading comprehension skills lack
& you have problems taking on board facts & figures it appears.
Just keep on Shouting racism all the time. ::)

Not surprised.

No. It's using racial language when her party says we're to "End Racism!" (keeping us busy til the end of time, while corporations take their Gold Standard (wink) and run us over with it). It's also the fact Democrats claim to stand for the common ones, although they're losing that ground quickly as they become exposed as neocons, or neolibs, or whatever the hell the scorecard says these days. Fakers, is what.
But your point is strong about Republicans. Aka neocons, dumbasses, liars, or whatever that scorecard says.
Republicans would never do such a thing?
Glad we finally cleared that up
Everyone knows they would. Everyone knows they cause plenty of trouble, and that you'll post it as it happens. But call it both ways, that's all. Give it some weight. The politicians are the problem. We know corporations are going to be greedy, since greed is in human nature. But to have these assholes called "politicians" come along and pretend to offer a buffer against it, if we'll just elect them, then turn around and do the opposite: THEY are the true enemy. So call them all out. It's us vs. them.
But something else you said:
If a white person with any notoriety or fame called a black person a the N word of course it would be a bigger story
Why do you suppose that is?

Lena Taylor says she called bank teller a racially charged insult because he was deferring to a boss
MADISON - State Sen. Lena Taylor said Monday she used a controversial phrase with a bank teller because he was deferring to his boss and wasn't doing more to help her.
"He was going along to get along even though it wasn’t the right thing," the Milwaukee Democrat said in a lengthy interview on WNOV-AM (860).
"I said, 'You did a really good job today of acting like a good house (racial slur),' " she told host Sherwin Hughes.
In the interview of more than two hours, Taylor for the first time provided her account of an April incident at the Wells Fargo branch on Wisconsin Ave. that resulted in her getting a $195 ticket for disorderly conduct.
She is fighting the ticket, which is civil rather than criminal. She said she was not being boisterous and video from the bank would show that.

She shouldn't have used the term, no matter her skin color. Just because she wears the same "uniform" doesn't give her the right to use a racially charged slur towards the teller. If anything, because she holds public office, she should be reprimanded even harder for this. She's clearly shown bias towards blacks that don't toe the company line.
