Is Dick Durbin a Racist?

Let's take Attorney General Holder up on his advice. No cowards needed in discussing race.

Got it.

So. The Democrats' Illinois Senator Dick Durbin refused to vote to oust a white president from office when, as the whole world knew, said president had lied about his role in the federal crime of sexual harassment. Yet when a black U.S. Senator, Durbin's Illinois colleague Roland Burris, is accused -- with as yet unproven allegations -- of lying to the Illinois House of Representatives, Durbin wants said black Senator's resignation post-haste.

Well now. Isn't that white of him.

And where, pray tell, is the ever vigilant Reverend Al Sharpton? Last seen protesting as racist a New York Post cartoon that portrayed the writer of the stimulus bill (that would be a white woman by the name of Nancy Pelosi) as the now infamous Travis the Chimp, Sharpton is curiously silent on the Durbin double standard.

So too is South Carolina Congressman and House Majority Whip James Clyburn silent about the stand taken by Durbin, Clymer's Whip counterpart over in the Senate. Clymer, a former head of the Congressional Black Caucus, has only days ago made accusations that the Republican governors of Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Louisiana (the latter, Governor Bobby Jindal, is a son of Indian immigrants and thus a "person of color" as the liberal phrase goes) are racist. Why? Because they are considering refusing stimulus money and their states have a considerable number of African-American citizens. Notably, he ignored the same stance when it turned out to be taken by Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin. In the world of racial bean counting, apparently Eskimos aren't worth the rhetorical effort.

Last but certainly not least, where is Eric Holder himself, the first African-American Attorney General of the United States?

He is everything but a real American. Real Americans don’t gut their country.

There is a difference - lying to get the Senate job is different than lying about an affair.
