the MSM will call them “Uncle Toms.”

So the vanilla-tinted MSM called black candidates “Uncle Toms?” Smart.

Uncle Tom was a hero.

MSM?

Free Republic, Fox News, Washington Times et al are the new MSM.

You must talking about the state run MOP - Ministry of Propaganda - like NPR that few watch, read or listen.

I’ve always been curious as to why the MSM and their allies us ‘Uncle Tom’ as a synonym for ‘traitor’. In the Harriet Beecher Stowe novel, Uncle Tom allowed himself to be beaten to death by Simon Legree and his henchmen, rather than give the location of two runaway slaves. This is not the action of a servile lackey. Perhaps we should start referring to the reverend Sharpton and his ilk as Samboes and Quimbys, after Simon Legree’s enforcers.

Yep this would be great. I would love to see more black and other minority Republicans. The Republican agenda is color blind, and appeals to anyone who favors limited government and lower taxes, among others.

Heh. I’d like to see what happens when someone calls Col. Allen West (running in FL-22) an Uncle Tom.

Heh.

the MSM will call them “Uncle Toms.”

Maxine Waters sure as hell will. I heard her use that term towards black conservatives many, many times.
