Affirmative action at the highest level
Of course its the elephant in the room no one (on the left) talks about, but then it slips out.
"shocking" media bias
Of course, race didn't exempt Herman Cain, or Alan West, or Clarence Thomas.

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

Also, what the reporter said was, "You wonder how much you should criticize the President because he's black but you have to do it,' which means he's not giving Obama a pass at all.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

"you have to do it" means you have to critisize. But "how much" is certainly throttled back because of his race.Bob Juch wrote:How in any way is that affirmative action?BackInTex wrote:Of course its the elephant in the room no one (on the left) talks about, but then it slips out.

Affirmative action because the lack of critisizm started the day he showed up to give the keynote address at the 2004 convention. He was held less accountable and to a lesser standard so he could get elected.
Its not me saying it, its the black CNN reporter saying it.

Re: Affirmative action at the highest level
The soft bigotry of low expectations
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Re: Affirmative action at the highest level
I think BiT used "affirmative action" as a synonym for reverse discrimination, rather than its literal meaning (a program at some schools and businesses to compensate for previous discrimination).Bob Juch wrote:How in any way is that affirmative action?

That's understandable. Most people with psychosis think its the others who are crazy.
