DNC Chair Fails To Respond To Governor Pat Quinn’s Racist Tweets

Last week, Democrat Governor of Illinois Pat Quinn, via Twitter, promoted and, presumably therefore associated himself with, an article from the Chicago Sun Times that compared being a black Republican to being a Nazi collaborator. Eventually, as Greta outlines in the clip below, the tweets were deleted on the grounds that it was offensive to Jews.

From the offending column:

As a general rule, individuals will sell out the interests of their groups in return for personal benefit. It isn’t just a black thing. Jews collaborated with the Nazis during World War II, helping them to round up their own people in the hopes they’d be the last to go.

Now, when someone says something outrageous, it is standard operating procedure for the media to demand apologies and denouncements from whomever can be seen as on the transgressor’s side of the political spectrum. So if, for example, someone that was being supported by tea partiers and conservative commentators about a land dispute turned out to be, oh I don’t know, let’s say racist, well then the media would require that Republicans answer for the guity party. Own the guilty party. Atone for the guilty party. Why, they might even hypothetically create a list of all the people who have previously supported the guilty party, a sort of hit list, if you will, letting everyone known upon whom the stink now decidedly resides. Why, the Chairman of the Republican party may even have to issue a statement, whether the office or party were involved or not.

OK, let’s dispense with the unnecessary hypothetical. The implication here, of course, is relating this to the Cliven Bundy story.

So surely we can expect that this blatant instance would require some distancing. Certainly the Chair of the DNC would have to come forward and say something like “the Democratic Party does not condone or agree with this vile characterization of black conservatives.” Right? I mean, it’s definitely a racist comment, and definitionally a racial comment. It’s a rich white member of the elite class saying black Republicans are like Jewish Nazis!! It’s offensive to both the black and the Jewish communities. A Democrat directly promoted the story. A Governor no less. Democrats have at least as much baggage with this column as Republicans have with Bundy.

So where, one wonders, is Debbie Wasserman-Schultz? Where is her condemnation? Where is her distancing? Where, I ask, is her mea culpa? The answer is immediately obvious to anyone who is a regular reader of RedState. She’s nowhere to be found. Because of course the Democrats don’t have to answer for such things. Not where black conservatives are concerned. And they have many such things to answer for. As Kmele Foster noted in the Greta Van Susteren clip above, if the roles were reversed in this Quinn case, things would play out very differently. And so they have with Bundy.

And so it goes, ever as it has.

Robert Byrd, Democratic Party, U.S. Representative from 1953 - 1959, United States Senator from West Virginia -In office January 3, 1959 – June 28, 2010

“........In Byrd’s first campaign for the House in 1952, his opponent released a letter that Byrd had written to the Klan’s imperial wizard in 1946. The date is important because Byrd claimed to have cut ties with the racist organization — today we would call it a terrorist group — in 1943. “The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia,” Byrd wrote.

This was in the days when the South was a solid Democratic stronghold — and when the default position of Southern Democrats was to advocate separation of the races. In 1964, Byrd joined other members of his party, led by Richard Russell of Georgia, in trying to kill the Civil Rights Act. Back then, would-be obstructionists were required to stage a filibuster rather than just threaten one. Byrd held the Senate floor for 14 hours in an effort that was ultimately as futile as Pickett’s Charge.

“Men are not created equal today, and they were not created equal in 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was written,” Byrd declaimed during his peroration. “Men and races of men differ in appearance, ways, physical power, mental capacity, creativity and vision.”

Byrd also opposed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and most of Johnson’s anti-poverty programs, saying that “we can take the people out of the slums, but we cannot take the slums out of the people.”.............

Joe Biden: “A very close friend of mine, one of my mentors, a guy who was there when I was a 29-year-old kid being sworn into the United States Senate. Shortly thereafter, a guy who stood in the rain, in the pouring rain, freezing rain outside a church as I buried my daughter and my wife before I got sworn in ... We lost the dean of the United States Senate, but also the state of West Virginia lost its most fierce advocate and, as I said, I lost a dear friend.

"Mixed-race families from across Alabama rallied outside the state capitol recently to demand $100,000 in cash — or at least an apology — from a state representative.

Earlier this month, Alvin Holmes, who has represented the Montgomery-area 78th District for 39 years, bet a substantial purse on his claim that Alabama whites were incapable of tolerating black children.

“I will bring you $100,000 cash tomorrow if you show me a whole bunch of whites that adopted blacks in Alabama,” Holmes said. “I will go down there and mortgage my house and get it in cash in $20 bills and bring it to you in a little briefcase.”

The lawmaker wagered the large sum during a speech in which he stated that “99 percent” of Republicans in the Yellowhammer State would order their daughters to get abortions if they were impregnated by black men.

Holmes has a long history of offensive racial comments. He has accused Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina of voting only as “white folks” tell him to vote and called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an “Uncle Tom.”.................

Jesse Jackson’s ‘Hymietown’ Remark – 1984: “Rev. Jesse Jackson referred to Jews as “Hymies” and to New York City as “Hymietown” in January 1984 during a conversation with a black Washington Post reporter, Milton Coleman. Jackson had assumed the references would not be printed because of his racial bond with Coleman, but several weeks later Coleman permitted the slurs to be included far down in an article by another Post reporter on Jackson’s rocky relations with American Jews.

A storm of protest erupted, and Jackson at first denied the remarks, then accused Jews of conspiring to defeat him. The Nation of Islam’s radical leader Louis Farrakhan, an aggressive anti-Semite and old Jackson ally, made a difficult situation worse by threatening Coleman in a radio broadcast and issuing a public warning to Jews, made in Jackson’s presence: “If you harm this brother [Jackson], it will be the last one you harm.”

Finally, Jackson doused the fires in late February with an emotional speech admitting guilt and seeking atonement before national Jewish leaders in a Manchester, New Hampshire synagogue. Yet Jackson refused to denounce Farrakhan, and lingering, deeply rooted suspicions have led to an enduring split between Jackson and many Jews. The frenzy also heightened tensions between Jackson and the mostly white establishment press. “

I thought this was very interesting, might even deserve a thread of its own. So the solar project was first proposed in 1992 and the Bundys started having trouble with the feds in 1993. Coincidence?

Oh, and Sean Hannity is still an idiot.
