I agree.
Now when the opposition to the dems nominate a bright and well qualified person who happens to be a minority they show their true colors by calling them stupid and unqualified...You can't get anymore racist than that.
Well... what if the Dem truly beleived he was unqualified? I can bet you can find someone most Dems would consider "bright and well qualified", who is staunchly pro-choice. Now, many GOP Senators would consider him (based on his stance on abortion alone) "unqualified" for many positions. Would that make those Senators racist, if the candidate in question happened to be African-American?
They have no reason to believe CT is unqualified. What Reid said was not a statement of fact when he said that Thomas was an embarrasment and questioned his intelligence..It was nothing more than a personal attack..
They are in fear of losing their base, pure and simple.""
