>The leftstream MSM would blow him up into a war criminal, and a radical right-wing extremist of the First Order. Let’s not even start on what black journalists would say about him.
Any Republican who challenges The One for the presidency is going to be flamed by the liberal media and the Democrats, but they reserve special treatment for blacks who stray from the reservation.<
I understood your point about Thomas. But I think that in many instances in many MSM outlets they would have to bite their tongue. One of the biggest race baiter’s is Chrissy “I got a tingle” Matthews. now he may play the war monger thing, but he will never play the race card against West.
They didn’t play it with Juan Williams too much. But put ANY white guy in there and it is gonna get played to the hilt by the far left when that candidate attacks Obama’s policy. (whatever his policy is at the moment that is)
I honestly think it would be a stumbling block for over half the liberals. That is their main argument now and has been since they lost the “bush’s fault” card. It has been the race card. They can’t defend what he is doing, so they race bait.
Don't bet that the MSM would go easy on West, or any other "uppity" black politician. They ONLY support black Democrats. Black Republicans are a special kind of animal that they reserve their worst vitriol for, ala Clarence Thomas and Condi Rice.
They didn’t play it with Juan Williams too much.
Let Juan Williams run for office as a Tea Partying Republican who opposes Obama and see what happens. He'd be flayed alive by the press.
