Bloomberg writer Francis Wilkinson recently wrote a piece claiming that Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina--an African American--only became a senator because Republicans "lowered the bar" for his appointment. He also claimed that Scott’s candidacy serves as a "shield" for racist Tea Party members to hide behind.
In an article that is more invective than analysis, Wilkinson essentially called Senator Scott a do-nothing senator. He said Scott acted like a "shield" for racist, Confederate flag-waving Tea Party members who need someone to replace Herman Cain as the favorite candidate behind whom they can hide their racism.
Wilkinson made these assessments because Scott didn't get a Tea Party challenger even as so many other incumbents across the country did.
But the writer answered his own question in his own piece as to why Scott may not have faced a Tea Party challenger. "Scott placed himself so far to the right that there was no space for a Tea Party challenge on ideological grounds," Wilkinson wrote.
The columnist further reported that Scott "has an 'F' on the NAACP legislative scorecard" and a high score on the "right-wing Heritage Action scorecard--94 out of a possible 100."

It is insightfully telling that a white asshat like Wilkinson can call blacks anything he wants if it is in the name of denigrating Republicans or Conservatives.
It is equally telling that we don’t hear mainstream blacks crying out for HIS exile, HIS castration, HIS prosecution and denigration. If I were a black man, I’d be sorely pissed and ashamed at the same time.
now which is worse.....what the owner of the clippers said or what this clown said?
Growing tired of the lies. And even more sick the left constantly getting a pass on it. Always.
Unlikely in the extreme. White voters elected Hussein. Black voters would have voted for Hussein if he were caught in the act of raping a black baby girl.
Just saying...
since when have liberals ever had a problem lowering standards for what they consider minority groups? they bitch when the standards aren’t lowered. they rally for lower standards for minorities.
:: they expect America to believe that someone who hates blacks will vote for one so that people won’t know they hate blacks ::
Yet if anyone inplies that US blacks voted for Obamugabe simply because he was black, then that’s racist; even if stated by a black citizen! (Hush chyle! Obama gonna bring you a mocking bird...or, well, a cell phone!)
Simply put, US blacks voted for Obamugabe because they saw a collective advantage to themselves personally in electing him.
Guess what...they got it.
In truth, they don’t give a crap about sleaze, corruption, misdeeds of any kind, even murder IF it is a get-over on whitey (I submit OJ Simpson as proof). THAT, and if they get their ‘taste’ of the loot.
Someone needs to really listen to black conservatives, they are scary smart.
so he’s against ‘affirmative action’?
So now, according to liberalthink, welcoming black members into the Tea Party movement is to hide racism. And if they were excluded what would that be?
Yep!
So we know they're not plants.
For the record, females and blacks elected 0bama. Without the female demographic he’d not been elected either time.
“It’s not racism when a Democrat says it” apparently.
Good for Rep. Scott for getting an F on the naacp scorecard.
Got it. Republicans hide their racism by not being racist. Wow.
