Dem Boykin: Palin 'Affirmative Action' Pick
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/29/2008 2:31:38 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Of all the criticisms an apparently panicky Dem party has heaped on Sarah Palin in the hours since her selection was announced, Keith Boykin [bio] has come up with perhaps the unseemliest. The former aide to President Clinton has accused Palin of being an "affirmative action" pick.

Boykin, a graduate of Dartmouth and Harvard Law, was debating the selection with Republican Joe Watkins at the end of MSNBC's 4 PM EDT hour. After some preliminary jousting, Boykin dropped his bomb.

KEITH BOYKIN Let me just say something about this choice. The reason why she doesn't help, quite frankly, is because it's an insult. It's an insult to women. I spoke to several women today at the Democratic National Convention who said it's insulting John McCain would pick somebody—an affirmative-action candidate basically—who is not qualified.

Limbaugh was so right, all these Palin criticisms can only boomerang on Obama. She has more and better experience than Obama!

The dem's don't know how to handle it.

Governor Palin is the perfect choice and at the same time takes away ALL their steam!

Not much going on about Obami today is there. : - D

“And Bambi is?”

Maybe you’re allowed to be unqualified just as long as you aren’t seen as “an affirmative-action candidate”

LoL

I hope the MSM keeps trotting out these irrelevant losers who obviously don’t know sh*t about “strategizing”.

Wow. The Dems really can't stand ‘regular’ people, can they? They have their panties in a bunch because Sarah Palin is an ‘affirmative action’ pick?? Not qualified? She has run the state of Alaska for a year and a half.......what has Obama run? He wasn't even the director of the branch of ACORN where he worked. What a bunch of LOSERS!
