Dean Continues Dem’s Noble Racist Tradition
It was last Friday that another racist comment was discharged from the mouth of a “new and improved” Democrat. Following in the great tradition of leftist Gary Trudeau (who called Dr. Condoleeza Rice “Brown Sugar”) and Robert “KKK” Byrd’s frequent usage of the “N” word on the Senate floor as well as a letter he wrote (discovered a few years ago to the Ku Klux Klan’s Imperial Wizard) stating: "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the Union" (four years after he had supposedly quit the Klan), the Dems are lauded by minorities as “the Party of tolerance”. Byrd still claims that he “never lynched anybody” and isn’t racist. Not racist but, a member of the Klan? Uh-huh. For some reason, still unknown to me, the Dems are given pass after pass by minority community voters. Now, newly appointed DNC Chairman Howard Dean has elected to enter this Democrat time-honored tradition.
On 11 Friday 2005, Dean (during his never-ending rants against all Republicans) said to the assembled members of the Democratic Black Caucus: "You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room? Only if they had the hotel staff in here!" The shock, here, is that they laughed! Did they not hear what their leader said? Dean then went on to say: "We have to never be afraid to say what we believe." Hmmm. What the Dems “believe” appears to be that only minorities are in the positions of “inferior” hotel staff workers. Apparently, Dean and his colleagues don’t believe that non-minorities would “lower” themselves to take these jobs. What is even more shocking and incomprehensible is that the more the Dems humiliate minorities, the more they seem to accept it. Were a Republican to make any of the above statements (or any remotely close to them), they would be tarred and feathered and run out of DC on a rail! Trent Lott suffered almost that fate when, at Sen. Thurmond’s birthday party, he praised segregationist Strom Thurmond. The mainstream media was relentless in hauling Lott over the coals and he was, subsequently, forced to step down from his Senate Majority Leader position.
Senator Lott should not have made the comment. By the same token, neither should the Dems. But, when a Republican makes any comment that might be construed as racist, they are immediately (if not before) castigated by the MSM in bold Front-Page Headlines. When the Dems make these comments, the mainstream media either ignores or places a positive spin on them.
The only scenario we the people can hope for is that minorities will eventually and finally realize what the Democrat Party is really telling their constituencies; that they will preach and pretend tolerance while actually speaking and affecting bigotry. Although it wasn’t a huge percentage, President Bush attracted more minority voters, than in the past, in 2004. President Bush actually places brilliant and capable people of color (witness Colin Powell and Dr. Rice) in top positions, while the Dems have only promised to do so. Historically and in practice, they do not. Exceptional and qualified people from all races deserve to be represented and not demeaned. At this juncture, only the Republicans are providing it. Racism, should be shunned…even in the Democrat Party.
