Democrats are just SO above race.

Posted by Cassy Fiano · Published: May 13, 2008 · Comments (8)

They are so noble, so much better than Republicans, that they don't need to stoop to dirty tricks like race-baiting or smears. Right? Um... I guess not. Michelle Malkin has an ad the DCCC ran smearing a Republican, Greg Davis, in the Mississippi congressional race, linking him to the founder... [Full Story]

With Barack Obama's speech recently on his former pastor (the bigoted, race-baiting, paranoid Jeremiah Wright) that he used to bring up the issue of race in America.

I avoided writing about Martin Luther King Jr. Day yesterday, but I find myself unable to hold my tongue on the matter. New Hampshire, I believe, holds the distinction of being the last state to formally recognize Dr. King by name. When the push first started, we chose to observe... [Full Story]
