I never got the whole Horton thing. The dude did do the crimes that were highlighted while on a furlough. What was the white man’s sin?

What was the white man’s sin?

Being governor when there was a relaxed furlough program (Dukakis).

Obviously there was no criminal activity in the Obama/Wright blowup, but there is BHO's condoning of hate speech that no white would be allowed to make in public. The analogy is that in both cases whites are inflamed by what they perceive by boorish, racist black behavior. No one wants to give his vote to someone who doesn't care about them.

Because liberals tell us we should not hold anyone but Republicans responsible for their behavior.

I didn't get it either. Was the RAT position that no one should talk about Horton (or show his picture) because he was black?

Don't these same people yell racism if you use race to decide whether a person can be discussed in polite company or his picture displayed?

What is little known is that the 'white man' was Al Gore.

He first made an issue of Horton in a Dem debate, long before any republican ad.
