Two White Men, One Microphone

Bill Bennett and Fred Barnes put their pea brains together and decided that Judge Sonia Sotomayor, valedictorian of her senior class in high school, summa cum laude graduate of Princeton, winner of an award for highest academic achievement as an undergraduate, member of Yale Law review while getting her law degree, and the most professionally accomplished judges to be nominated to the Supreme Court in the last 30 years, MUST have been helped "tremendously" by affirmative action along the way. Because you know, us brown people could NEVER do it all on our own through hard work and perseverance. Nor could we reach the top of our profession without a handout rather than just on our own merit.

Such is the way some white men view any minority who achieves anything of note in this country not having to do with playing a sport.

Is this REALLY who you want as the face of your party, Republicans?

"Mr Monkey Boy"

Do you need any more evidence that "post racial" is total bullshit?

Today on C-Span’s “Washington Journal,” conservative columnist Fred Barnes continued to defend the Bush presidency and insisted that Barack Obama would not represent much change from Bush. When a caller — who identified himself as a big fan of Barnes — referred to Obama as “Mr. Monkey Boy,” Barnes didn’t bat an eye, immediately addressing the caller’s question without pausing to condemn the epithet.

Props to the second caller from Georgia for pointing out the racist rhetoric that had just been spouted on CSPAN which neither consevative ass clown Fred Barnes nor the host of the Washington Journal acknowledged let alone denounced.
