    Unfortunately I guess we have not come as far as I thought we had in the last 50 years.
    According to Chris Mathews today, Since I disagree with President Obama on most things, Chris says I am prejudice. Who’d a thunk it. I had no idea I was holding on to so much prejudice, thanks to Chris Mathews for pointing it out for me.

    I thought that was blatantly obvious to all. If you’re not a racist, then why give the impression that you are (again and again)?

    Since I disagree with President Obama on most things, Chris says I am prejudice.

    This isn’t what Chris said, but seriously — can you guys get off of this victimization kick?

    And how about This Moment in GOP Outreach: Boehner, Cantor Turned Down Chance to Speak at March Anniversary

    “What’s really telling, I think, is the podium behind me, just count at the end of the day how many Republicans will be there,” Bond told news anchor Alex Wagner. “They asked senior President Bush to come, he was ill. They asked junior Bush, he said he had to stay with his father.

    “They asked a long list of Republicans to come,” [Julian – Ed.] Bond continued, “and to a man and woman they said ‘no.’ And that they would turn their backs on this event was telling of them, and the fact that they seem to want to get black votes, they’re not gonna get ‘em this way.”

    The GOP is going to boycott their own outreach efforts until rich white people get a fair shake in this country.
