Oh...Obediah...

I get it -you're miffed because I neglected to mention Obama and Holder as serial race baiters.

I stand corrected.

@R.L. SCHAEFER He's not calling out has-been also-rans -- he's calling out Republican presidential candidates that have won states. That's appropriate.

The Dems are the party of minorities and their friends, the MSM, are a huge white guilt machine, constantly pumping out racial accusations against whites, who, in the theory of collective guilt, represent all bad things done to minoriities since...I dunno...1643.

The only time the guilt machine stopped was for three months after 9/11 after that the race baiting business as usual has continued:whites as omnipotent race wrongers and minorities as bewilderred victims. At this point, that story is a joke.

"REPUBLICAN RACE BAITING"???

Brad, are you abusing your psychotropic drugs again?

Scumbags like Jesse Jackson and Big Al Sharpton are the kings of race baiting - it is their only stock-in-trade - it is how they make their living.

What I find amazing is that anyone other than Black Muslims, The Black Panthers and other racist dimwits even give them a moments attention... Ah, that brings us back 'round to you.

My kids are mixed race. My family has been here since the before the country was founded. As far as I know we fought in every war except the Spanish American War. Quite frankly I am very tired of the Republican Party and the their pandering to the least educated and biased section of the population. The Republican Party is run by Karl Rove a college drop out of low intellect who did not fight against the communists during Vietnam. I guess that sums it up.

Democrats do far more race-baiting than Republicans. And as a Southerner, I've heard more Democrats use the n-word than anyone should ever hear in a lifetime. And the reason the power structure of the Southern US was almost 100% Democrats for over a century after the Civil War was because it was Republicans who freed the slaves. So spare us the Liberal view that all Dems are good, and all Republicans are bad. We should be beyond the childish need to pick a side. Time to move on to the more rational adult view that neither side is all good or bad.

Don't blame us baby boomers. Most of us were the generation of Peace and brotherhood. It is a loud, well funded minority that is making an expensive media blitz to brainwash the unaware to vote against their own self interest. Many of these "unaware" are intelligent and well educated.
