Actually, I doubt that this is racist. It’s probably just political - the dems don’t want to see a conservative get any accolades.
Oh, guess you’re right. Technically, it would only be racism if it were a black “liberal” that was tossed out. Then the NAACP and MSM would be hollering, “RACISM!!”
Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. It is way past time we started punching back, and giving as good as we get.
Appearances are everything in politics. I'm afraid that it is what it looks like, whether they meant it to or not.
The Cystic Fibrosis foundation just made the same mistake that Obama did in the Shirley Sherrod debacle. They caved in to the left before considering the fallout their dis-invitation to Col. West will create on the right.
They may have appeased one or two big liberal donors, but they've just lost all credibility in the eyes of all their center-right donors. Liberals don't donate at nearly the levels that conservatives do.
This is going to come back to bite them hard.
Of course it is racist.
