Kamala Harris: Democrats' Anti-Palin

It’s easy to understand why Kamala Harris, California’s next attorney general, is being called the future of the Democratic Party, a rising political star in the mold of one of her big supporters — President Barack Obama.

At first glance, the president and Harris have much in common: Both are mixed-race children of immigrants raised by a single mother; both are eloquent, telegenic big-city lawyers with strong liberal credentials who catapulted from relative obscurity to the national stage. And like the first African-American president, Harris has broken a long-standing barrier — she’s California’s first African-American attorney general and the first woman to hold the office.

But Harris, whose position, potential and glamour will most likely give her as high a national profile as she wants, resists the comparisons.

“It’s flattering,” she told POLITICO, just weeks after claiming victory in a photo-finish race against Steve Cooley, her Republican opponent. Nevertheless, “these comparisons make me uncomfortable because I know what I want to do. I am really excited about being attorney general.”

Hmmmm... Anti Death Penalty, created a special Hate Crimes Unit as San Francisco District Attorney, supported San Francisco's immigration policy of not inquiring about immigration status in the process of a criminal investigation, endorsed by the California Federation of Teachers, liberal-liberal-liberal.

Yep, the anti-Palin all righty

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I don't think so.

[Cisco Nix]

Classic Pinko

[who knows what evil?]

Sounds like your average, run of the mill Kalifornia commie...

[El Cid]

The female Obama.
Perhaps more intelligent than the man in the White House, but still an Affirmative Action selection who has been over her head as DA in San Francisco (and what a joy it will be to have her as Attorney General for the entire State of California). Marxist, and did nothing to deter crime as SF D.A...

Just for the record, Obama’s parents were not “immigrants.” His mom's family had been in the USA for many generations. His father was temporarily in the USA on a foreign student visa that required him to return to Kenya when his studies were completed. Zero's father never showed any interest in remaining in the USA as an “immigrant.” With an American wife and American child, he could have easily become an “immigrant.” He chose not to.

All that talk about "mixed race" and "African American" stuff makes me think it's okay to have opinions about different races. I like whites the best.

HAVE A COOL YULE!

[Cheetahcat]

She hates whites (that is the African American code) and makes her case of being a mixed race person known most likely used AA to get through College and law school.

[al baby]

She’s kinda hawt

[JaguarXKE]

Yeah but I’ll bet she can’t gut a halibut or field dress a caribou!

[al baby]

You may have a point

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

She is attractive, and I would definitely hit it. If I had a ball gag!

[RightGeek]

Another Affirmative Action incompetent

[TXConservative25]

There is no reason Cooley should have lost LA county and thus the election. He took his home county for granted.

“You may have a point”

You do to, brother ... she is hot, but although she is a hottie, I’m betting that with you or me she would just be haughty.

[KoRn]

That liberal nag probably couldn’t get elected as a dog catcher in Virgina. (I know Hussein carried VA, but that was a fluke)

[23 Everest]

The first paragraph actually described by Kalifornia is going to end up in the toilet. She is just like zero and with her environmental tendencies she will do all she can to destroy what business is left here.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Oh geez. Just in time for Christmas. Another non-white, rising star “savior” for evil white America from their Commie’RAT white boy friends down at the DNC. Too bad the DNC white boys have overplayed their race card. A lot of Americans have returned to putting their country ahead of political correctness and that’s a good thing.

Sorry, couldn't resist...
