So last night I just happened to catch this on one of those MSNBC shows.. they had Ed "Cheese Steak" Rendell on, and naturally being progressive water carrier that he is, he added his opinion on the matter - which naturally was condemning Scalise, the racist Republican..
Something he said I had to almost laugh, at the hypocrisy.. to paraphrase, ".. it is wrong for a politician to speak in front of a group of people that call for a separate land for whites only.."
obviously that is wrong
it is however, perfectly OK for a politician to speak before a group of people who call for a separate land/area for blacks only and who openly advocate for all sorts of different "black only" entities..
I swear, anything these idiot talking heads whine and complain about in regards to the "evil" Republicans are really things that their "side" has done, is doing and will continue to do. I would bet everything I own that had this been a Democrat leader, nearly all the big media outlets would gloss over it very briefly if not ignore it altogether.
Over and over again I hear how bad race relations are, and oh woe what can we do to improve those relations - First, stop giving the race hustlers and poverty pimps any coverage and attention. It's hard to have any real dialog without turning on the news or opening up the newspaper to constantly see and hear some asshole cry "Racist! Racist! He / She is a Racist!"
