This is what the Democrats have been reduced to. They are in disarray and will continue to overplay the race card. African Americans have been reduced to mere political pawns by their own party and it's their own fault for putting all their eggs in one political basket.

The Dems are really stretching it here.
Guess we can all believe that Frist volunteers his time as a heart surgeon to save lives in black Africa yet comes back to the US speaking in political codes to appeal to racists.
Right. What a pathetic accusation. This is what the DemonRats are reduced to.

So what's the lesson here? Well, it's certainly not that Bill Frist is racially insensitive, it's that his opponents are racially hypersensitive.

It's not even that. It's that they want to throw rocks, because throwing rocks is all they have left. They haven't had a new idea in thirty years. These were the best rocks they could find, so they threw them.

Not only is that unfair, it's a surefire way to make an "honest discussion" on race impossible.

The Democrats don't care about that. They care about short-term political advantage, and scoring points in the next news cycle. It's Bill Clinton's "continuous campaign," reduced to the single remaining tactic of throwing rocks at their opponents. Even if they're lousy rocks that bounce right off; they don't care. It's all they have.

At one time the New York Times would have been embarrassed to join them in such weak and desperate tactics, but these days the Times itself is an embarrassment.

Its not only unfair, it'll wind up backfiring on them. Let's hope they keep the personal attacks up for what's on Bill Frist isn't even political dirt. It didn't work in 1994 when he first ran for the Senate and it won't work now. I love the picture of a Democratic Party whose agenda is what happened in 1948 rather than dealing with the the present concerns of Americans.
