Is there any political caricature more threadbare than casting the Republican Party as "the Confederacy?" CNN analyst Gloria Borger tossed that one on Thursday, with all its pejorative assumptions about hidden or not-so-hidden racial animus, noting New England states had no House Republicans.

The race pimps are crawling out of the woodwork now that we`re in the Obama "post-racial" era.

Borger is right. It’s a well known fact that Robert E. Lee was black.

At least we make our monthly mortgage payments, unlike the ACORN parasites.

The Confederacy was made up of DEMOCRATS. Besides, what’s so wrong with the Confederacy?

Gloria Borger is married to Lance Morgan.

Morgan served as spokesman for the U.S. Senate Iran-Contra investigating committee and press secretary to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY).

And CNN looks like Pravda. Or probably more accurately, Volkischer Beobachter

I’m tired, so I’m not thinking clearly. Why have so many race stories appeared in the last few days? Aren’t there more important things to worry about, or is that the point?

These mental degenerates do realize that one of the main reasons that the Confederacy began was in response to a Republican being elected president, don’t they? I wonder if they are also aware that the KKK was formed after the war as the militant wing of the Democrat Party.

However the reality television addicted idiots out there continue to swallow this crap up hook, line, and sinker.

She has that dessicated, maybe-if-I-never-change-my-hair-color-or-style look combined with masculine clothing that all over 40 DC females tend to adopt.

It’s kind of old fashioned now to call the race card; isn’t it?

Correction: She has that dessicated, maybe-if-I-never-change-my-hair-color-or-style-my-age-will-remain-a-mystery look combined with masculine clothing that all over 40 DC females tend to adopt.

I wish she and the libs would decide once and for all if the GOP are Rebels or Nazis. It really is a pain keeping two uniforms cleaned and pressed at all times.

EXCELLENT commentary that deserves repeating:

“They are not called ANALysts for nothing.”
