I have a feeling the days being a Democrat could excuse racism is passing away. Reid got justly hit for his comments about Thomas. Perhaps not the furor that would erupt for a Republican, but more than we are accustomed. When pelosi has to jump to Byrd's defense rather than allow the outrage to die naturally, time's are changing.
Yup, and seeing the race card played against the party that over-played that hand for so long is kind of its own just reward.
Puting them in the position of defending themsleves every time they make an attack is a tremendous stragety. If they want to play hard ball, they have to play on our diamond.
