Another gem from the American Thinker, and if anyone has a link to Sen. Tim Scott’s rebuttal last night could you post it? In the article there’s a link to the transcript but it’s the NYT.

Tim Scott declares America ‘not a racist country,’ and leftists step up to the plate to prove him wrong, hurling racist epithets
Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina made an eloquent, uplifting speech on behalf of Republicans, in response to Joe Biden’s quasi–State of the union address.
He spoke of racial grievances, real ones, including a recent instance when the Washington Post’s bigfoot fact-checker Glenn Kessler attempted to debunk Scott’s impoverished background in the Jim Crow South as somehow “privileged,” with revolting claims that Scott “had it easy,” which was beyond horsehockey. Scott left egg all over Kessler’s face.
Scott spoke kindly of single mothers, such as his own. He spoke of his own failures and successes, and he blasted Biden for his divisive diktats in his first 100 days, pointing out the many occasions when Republicans cooperated with Democrats and their big spending plans. He defended Georgia’s vote integrity law and focused on re-opening schools, putting the blame where it belonged: on greedy teachers’ unions. He radiated honesty and sincerity, which stood in stark contrast to fraudy, mendacious Joe, who came off like the banjo-player in Deliverance as he spoke.
It was a well received speech, based on pundit after-talk on the nets. The transcript can be read here.
That didn’t sit well with the left, which, true to form, reverted to their roots, put on their white hoods, and hurled nakedly racist insults at Scott as if to shame him for attempting to find common ground with Democrats and speak truth to power.
#UncleTim, a riff on the racist epithet “Uncle Tom,” drew 15,000 hashtags on Twitter, as leftists showed their true colors.
[Much more at link, well worth reading, and also including lurid examples of commiepuke racism]
