1. I’d make a campaign ad of his comments and play it against every Senate Democrat incumbent running for reelection with a very few words: “Had enough of this garbage? If your answer is yes, defeat _____ and vote for _______.”

2. I’d take to the Senate floor and point out that many, including I’d guess Mr. Rockefeller, are very critical of Joseph McCarthy who said he had a list of communists in the State Department. [He may or may not have had a list, but of course he was substantially right about the infestation within the State Department.] Anyway, I’d point out the “McCarthyite” tactic and challenge Senator Rockefeller to start naming names.

Some grains on the beach are pearls, Jay, but most are silicone dioxide sand.
Likewise, some Obama foes think he's the 'wrong color', but most think he's a lying commie fool.

This is standard operating procedure for so many Democrat politicians, whether white or black: accuse the critics on the other side of an issue of being "racists," when, as usual, the facts and the logic are not on their side. Just about anything advocated by conservatives (and even the Clintons back in 2008) can be classified, by some inane reasoning, as "racist" by the left, especially in the age of Obama. If nothing else, the tactic keeps race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson in business and might turn out more 'Rat voters for the next election.

Just completed the interesting book "Mugged" by Ann Coulter, a book about American racial conflict in general. One of its major themes is the gross overuse of the word "racist" by the left in their efforts to have their opponents cowered and silenced. There are slews of examples of this tactic employed since about 1970.

His grandfather stole billions from the common folks by enforcing a monopoly on kerosene, then oil, at sky-high monopoly prices.

The only people that oppose Obama because he’s Black are rural hick DEMOCRATS.

Looks like all of the silver in those spoons he’s been using has gone to his head.
