Rumors of it's Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

Here in Illinois, our Socialist Governor, Rod Blagojevich, now has the task of naming a successor to Barack Hussein Obama's seat in the Senate. The process is of course, getting huge attention here in Chicagoland. There has been much speculation about who that will be, and today the Governor was asked again about where he was at in the process. Here is one comment about it, which he made yesterday:

"The race factor is something that carries much weight in my mind." He made this comment in response to the pressure being applied here by the libs to fill the seat with another black. Keep in mind, that his comment was made in support of that view. In fact, it appears that he is leaning strongly towards State Senator Jessie Jackson Jr..

Now I want you to imagine changing the circumstances of this slightly, and then replay the press conference. Let's say another Governor, maybe Sarah Palin, had to make the same decision and said that "The race factor is something that carries much weight", only she meant it important to put a white in that Senate seat. Can you even begin to imagine that?!!

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if something similar to that was said at some point in our history, maybe 100 years ago, in the South perhaps. The point is, that it would have been blatant racism. Of course! And it would be today, whether it's a process around promoting a black, or a white, or a green! Pure racism. But today it is allowed under license of liberal politics, and it is unbelievable to see.

Since Obama's election, I've grown very tired of the commentaries declaring some variation of "We can now say that racism is a thing of our past. It's history". I've read it in the U.S. press, and I've heard it trumpeted from lib politicians around the world.

This is absolute crap.

On the contrary, racism is thriving in this country, and is no better illustrated than as it's being carried out by the libs in the trail left by Obama. You can't call it anything else.
