Exactly. By defintion (the left's definition) blacks cannot be racist. Racists like Lee, Jackson, Sharpton, Mfume and Bond get free passes every time. Their free speech is guaranteed by a compliant media axis. I'm beginning to think the left's death grip on education, the media, the bureaucracy and now, religion, cannot be overcome. We are entering a dark era.

As I said on a previous thread:

" .. but I'm with you. This is just the beginning of a pre-election scourge that will be unabated. The guns are out .. there is a war in every segment of society for the soul of this country .. in our conventions, institutions and traditions, while we're trying to fight a global war on terror and our precious soldiers are giving their blood for our very lives.

O'Reilly may be a puffed up egocentric, but he's a soothsayer nonetheless on this point. The left is going to the mattresses, and it's gonna get really bad. I'm so grateful Bush walks with God .. he and we are gonna need Him. God Bless America. Prayers for mercy, Lord. Please make frequent prayer a part of your day."

THE MEAN SEASON IS HERE FOR REAL!

I don't really think it was a race issue. Race was the excuse. I think the truth just hurts. The fact that Rush said Black was the red herring.

Geez. The libs will be gloating for a decade.

Republicans are becoming whimpier by the day.

I give up. Rush quitting and thus acknowledging what the PC left has accused...Bush caves in to every demand of the Dems and Ted Kennedy on the left...so-called principled conservatives jump on the silly "Do Not Call" bandwagon (remember the silly cable issue with Bush 41?)...will it never end?

I no longer am going to associate with the GOP. And at this rate, I don't plan to vote in 2004. I can see no reason to any longer.

So I'm just going to live in my own world and protect my own interest and to he** with everyone else.

I can't even get optimistic enough at this point that Rush is doing this knowing it will be all over the entire press for weeks and thus take the "CIA leak" nonsense off the front pages.

This news came about midnight Eastern time...I wonder if the NY Times stopped the presses and did a front page re-write and throw away what was already printed.
