Earlier this year, the press was shocked to learn that President Barack Obama’s rhetorical opposition to divisive gender-based discrimination in the workplace was not matched by his administration’s actions. After months of pushing the misleading and inaccurate statistic that women are paid just 70 cents for every dollar a man makes in similar occupations, the political media learned that the same calculation implicates the White House in that very same discrimination.

The scales continue to fall from reporters’ eyes.
On Monday, the press discovered that Democrats do not exactly practice what they preach when it comes to income disparities supposedly based on racial discrimination. A thorough study conducted by the New Organizing Institute revealed that minority campaign staffers on Democratic payrolls routinely make less than their white counterparts.
“For example, African-American staffers on Democratic campaigns were paid 70 cents for each dollar their white counterparts made,” The Daily Beast’s Tim Mak reported. “For Hispanic staffers in Democratic campaigns, the figure was 68 cents on the dollar.”
And a recent study by PowerPAC+, funded by a major Democratic donor, revealed that less than 2 percent of spending by Democratic campaign committees during the past two election cycles went to firms owned by minorities.

Democrats: the party of government force: slavery, segregation, welfare, infanticide, and dependence.
Hee hee. The race baiters use average stats to attack everyone else. Bet they’re loving having the same tactic thrown at them.
Pure Alinsky. Make your opponent stick to their own rules. They can’t.
