#1 When accomplished Americans such as Love, West, Davis, Rice, Cain, and others like them stand up, they tip the boat of "racial socialism" and permit a bit of truth to splash over the gunwale. Education, skill, enterprise, enterprise, and personal resposibility are an anathema to Affirmative Action and entitlement. When the myth and milking stool of endemic white racism is debunked and kicked away, the grip on the teats of entitlements is suddenly lost.

Thomas Sowell, refusing to treat Affirmative Action as a look-away issue, studied it under a varity of names in nearly twenty countries. He discovered that following initial success, all such programs tend to stall. New opportunities become permanent entitlements. Sowell did not find a single Affirmative Action program that had ever disappeared because it had succeeded.

Accomplished young people such as Love clearly illustrate that the term American Exceptionalism is indeed colorblind and available to all who seek and work to achieve it.

#2 Nicely said, Besoeker! Thinking of doing some poetry, perhaps?

#4 Democrats can't have the field hands going off the plantation now, can they? When that happens their party collapses. The Democrats were, and are, the party of slavery.

#5 Were? They still are!

That's is why ABC News cut away from Dr. Rice'es speech at the Convention to go to two snow-white 'journalists'....

Can't have a 'House N-word' address their voter slaves now can they?

#6 I'm sure many Donks of Fredrick Douglas' time had similar things to say about him.

#7 There's real danger of a preference cascade among successful minorities. Martinez' comments about having lunch are just as threatening. Have they aroused the same vitriol? Wonder why not.

#8 Lincoln, a Republican, issued an executive order in 1863 which was known as the Emancipation Proclamation. This freed the slaves at the time of the Civil War. The Democrats have a history of racism and abuses, lynchings, a history with the KKK, segregation. Has history gotten so distorted by PC and revisionist's in the schools that people just don't know what history is these days? Now, you get the most vitriolic, unhinged racist hate speech from them. Some of them sound like they are about one step out of a mental institution. If someone such as Mia Love, Alan West, Art Davis, Condi Rice, etc. are successful, the Democratic Left goes nuts and spouts the most vile epithets; then they blame such hatred on everyone else. They ought to get some professional help.

#9 Emancipation Proclamation

Just a wee nit pick. The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves in the states of rebellion, which meant that slaves in Kentucky, Maryland, (Joe Biden's state) Delaware, and Washington DC remained slaves. It took the 13th Amendment, ratified in December 1865 to end involuntary servitude [less punishment for crime] in America. It serves as the exclamation point for Civil War.

#10 It is fairly obvious that a large number of lefties in the media hear dog-whistles when none exist. This is either a tool to bash Republicans and make themselves look smart (that's what I used to think at least) or a verbal explaination of where their own mind is.

For Example the Willie Horton ad. Liberals think the problem was that Willie was black, not that he was allowed out on a hall pass while serving time for a violent crime which showed incredibly terrible judgement on the part of the Governor. Yeah, let the potheads and non-violent offenders out on a furlough if you want but rapists? really? When you are the party of felons I guess that must make some kind of sense but to conservatives it doesn't.

#11 It has nothing to do with race: if it WAS, then people like Love, Rice, Thomas, and Sowell would be treated with respectful disagreement.

It has nothing to do with gender: if it WAS, then people like Love, Rice, and Palin would be treated with respectful disgreement.

It has to do with political affiliation, which boils it all down to party factionalism that deserves no respect when respect is not given.

Let us not dignify it as "fear of the other".

This is HATE of the other.
