Did you actually read the article??

Yes. More race-baiting from one of our own. I thought so-called "principled" black leaders like Rev. Peterson would know better. I lost some respect for him. This is a purely partisan move, and it makes him look as petty as Sharpton and the other race-baiters on the Left.

Hmmm, I've actually met Rev. Peterson and I don't get that feel at all.

He's using the media to show the extreme double standard. If we can't point out what they are doing, then it's letting them win by default. He is correct in his assessment.

Ok, I have to go back to work now.

In all honesty, he, and Innis, are bringing up a valid point. Innis goes on to say that he thinks that the comment was fairly innocent. However, they are right that if a Republican had said something along that line, the media would be all over the person.

Pointing out a double standard is race-baiting? Republicans should happily accept a double standard?

Calling attention to the double standard of liberal rhetoric
is one of the best things he can do. If enough people hear it some of it may sink in. I don't think he is race baiting, rather pointing out the truth. IMHO, this statement by the junior senator from new york makes sen. Lott's recent
blunder pale in comparison. (no pun intended)
