Dem Boykin: Palin 'Affirmative Action' Pick

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 somebodyan affirmative-action candidate basicallywho is not qualified.

The AUDACITY! Mr. BOYKIN, if anyone is a recipient of affirmative action, you are! You are only on TV at this juncture because you are black, like your candidate, not for your brains.

I have seen this Boykin guy on several programs today and his tone, tenor, and message is so repulsive that I have come to the conclusion that he is a deep operative for the McCain campaign.
That is, unless the O-bots want to plainly and clearly demonstrate their snide, elitist, arrogant, condescending, dismissive, and hypocritical panic.
Please, Mr. Boykin, keep it up! Loud and proud! Every ‘swing’ voter that sees you speak, swings to McCain/Palin for good.

We all knew this was coming — maybe it’s even a “poison pill” McCain hoped the Dems would swallow.
If the Dems nominate a “minority” or woman it shows how “open-minded” they are.
If the Republicans do, it’s “pandering” or “cynical” or “affirmative action.”
Ask Clarence Thomas.

My mom is a old FDR Democrat and she is also cracking up by the Democrats response to Palin.....
The DEMGORATS are sooooo screwed.
I told her about how the Hillary supports are excited about Palin and she just said to me with a smile, " oh yeah, I heard ".

Correction:
Perhaps they will call her a " Auntie Lifer ".

Rush must be having a great time with this, first with the pick of Biden and all of the fun that, that will be in breaking down all his passed statement.
And now this, ..... all of us must be saying to ourselves " This is toooooooooo good "
Rush must have said in his mind, " McCain, just pick a good one, and let the games begin "..... I truly believe that Rush has great confidence in us ( people like you and me, the grunts ) to come of with some great lines, nuggets of wisdom, and material for his " Stacks of stuff for his show ".
To: Bahbah
OK now, all in a collective shout : THIS IS TOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD !!.... I know you can say it.
To: Prophet in the wilderness
Perhaps they will call her a " Auntie Lifer ". Na, they will stick to what shows more effect rather than use proper wordage and common sense with their political slams as usual.
And the DBM will latch on to it shortly after.
