Has become? No, it's been like this for a long, long time.

The liberal Democrat's bigotry, even hatred, of those holding different ideologies to theirs is becoming increasingly palpable. In fact, it has become just downright vicious. Black Americans who have left the Democrat plantation are no longer "black" according to Democrats. Yuck! I can almost taste the bile. In a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Op/Ed piece, Justice Clarence Thomas was said to be black but 'with an asterisk' ..meaning he's only a pretender and not really black. Justice Thomas, a conservative, has had to weather racial slurs from Democrat black Americans and Democrats in general for years. Democrats consider it bad enough to be white and conservative. But, if one is intelligent, black and conservative, they consider it a personal attack.
Now that Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele, a conservative Republican black American, has decided to run for the U.S. Senate, Democrats have become spitting mad!
Liberal Democrats hated it enough when Steele was the running mate of Maryland Republican Governor Robert L. Ehrlich. Democrat Maryland State Senate President Mike Miller Jr. even called him "an Uncle Tom". Then, the liberal and most-intolerant Baltimore Sun gleefully joined Miller's racism when it wrote that Steele "brings little to the team but the color of his skin." How's that for liberal "broadmindedness"? The usual and to-be-expected Democrat tactic of "if you can't destroy the message, ruin the messenger" was in full play.
Note: Unfortunately for the Democrats, the Lt. Governor has proven his intellect, courage and mettle. One of the things Democrats hate more than conservative Republican black Americans are conservative black Americans who are extremely capable. They patently detest these people!
Liberal and leftist demonstrators against Steele's Senate run are again pelting him with Oreo cookies, an unmistakable inference that Steel is "black on the outside and white on the inside". Frankly, black Americans are only "tolerated" by the Democrat Party even if they are Democrats, and then just barely. Even black Democrat Maryland Delegate Salina Siler joined the fray, when she said of Steele: "Because he is a conservative, he is different than most public blacks, and he is different than most people in our community. His politics are not in the best interest of the masses of black people." She also called him an "Oreo cookie". Nice mouth, Ms. Siler.
Question: Have you ever noticed it's the Left that regularly uses the phrase "the masses"? There is no room for individuals or creative thought in the Democrat Party.
In order to attempt to block (if not stop) Steele's run for the Senate, liberal and leftist blogs are now providing a litany of slurs against Steele on a regular basis. These include (as was recently used by the liberal 'mainstream press' against Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice) pictures that are doctored to make Steele appear demonic. And of course, the liberals' ever popular throwing-of-Oreo-cookies attack-mode tactics continue.
Question: Don't you find it of interest that the Republican Party supports and promotes able people, regardless of their race, and that the Democrat Party doesn't? I do.
The ongoing fear of the Democrat Party is that the majority of its black constituency may one day actually wake up from its leftist, Kool-Aid induced stupor and become sober again. If that happens, the current Democrat Party is finished. With nothing more than "we hate Bush" as its mantra (they still don't seem to realize President Bush isn't running for a 3rd term), and no policies for the country, the Democrats are devolving into a whining, racist, anarchist group of petulant children, demanding that we listen to them even though they have nothing viable to say.
The "terrible twos" virus is still running rampant throughout the Democrat Party. Most of them seem to be infected, and it seems most of them don't want to get well.
So, as always, one age-old question remains: "Do we want adults or mean-spirited childish bullies as our leaders?"
I know my answer.
It's always been palpable. It's just written about more these days.

This should expose the liberal hypocrisy and lies to the hilt. These liberal black racists are the epitome of filth in America. They stand for everything that America IS NOT, from their lies, their hypocrisy, their crimes, and their corrupt association with the MSM, another disgusting arm of the liberal radicals in America.
"Ours is the only race, where, if you succeed, you are ostracized from our race."

The Dem blacks so proudly display their shameless ignorance.
Two awesome people, great quotes, in one awesome post. Thanks for putting that up.

The democrats want everyone on a plantation, black, white, indian, etc. Their basic philosophy is one of enslavement. They cloak it in various public policy pronouncements, such as "Put me in charge and I'll take care of you.", but the basic idea is, "Put me in charge and I'll reign over you."
One of the hallmarks of freedom is the freedom of expressing individual thought. Being contrary to the notions of slavery, individual thought is frowned upon by the democrat party. Any one expressing individual thought is to be immediately whipped back into place.
So to the Democrats, the term "black" has an entirely different definition. It does not refer to a deeper shade of epidermis, nor to a traceable African genotype. Their definition of "black" is a belief that people of racial minorities need more help than nonminorities to achieve less, and in the glorification of said help. THAT is how Bill Clinton got to be defined as black! I get it now!
The democrats have done one heck of a job of going from the pre-civil rights era thought of people being too black for recognition as a human being to today's not being black enough to qualify for the same.
Nothing new here. Ive observed that most white "liberal" college students ive met are completely incapable of understanding that political positions are not based on "race".
So, for example, if someone who isnt white espouses a republican, libertarian, or even anti-democrat cause, its "youre so white".
Did anyone consider that not wanting a hippy-liberal government that indulges in touchy feely whining and wringing of hands everytime something that they consider part of their agenda goes wrong is not necessarily a "white" position?
That (GASP!) people of all races can think for themselves without the members of the central hippy commune leadership telling them how?
Whatever happened to individuals making up their minds for themselves. Nope. Not allowed. If youre not white, how dare you take a white stand on an issue.

I am excited about his run for the Senate. I knew nothing about him until he spoke at the RNC convention last year. His speech was superb. I hope he wins. :)
Conservatives who take a 'gee whiz, can you beleive this' approach to these tactics do our side a disservice.
Basically, some dems are behaving exactly as I would expect. :-)

I agree totally.
The truth is that many african american individuals and other minorities too are extraordinarily successful in the united states. But rather than encourage these people, or even grant recognition of the facts, the dem party seems engaged in a never ending spiral of wallowing in faux-pity
for the minorities.
This is why you get this virulent criticism of successful african americans. They rain all over the demoCRAP parade and ideology.
Minority success in the United States (From Wikipedia and US Census Bureau):
1. Asian-Americans (Including Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, and South Asian Americans) had a median income of 54999$ per annum.
2. Indeed, according to the U.S. Census Indian-Americans (South Asian Indian) have the highest median income of all ethnic groups (including whites) in the U.S. ($60,093 per annum)
3. Jewish Americans have a median income of 54000$ per annum.
Clearly minorities can and certainly do succeed. But for some reasson the media and the dems never never want to admit it.
From the Houghton Mifflin Co. dictionary:
Racist: One who believes that race accounts for differences in human character or ability.
