But they don't see a problem with the congressional black caucus who refused to admit a white congressman.
Of course it is and yet that is okay.
Well, since Monday is the national celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr., let us remind ourselves that he dreamt of a time when in America a man would be judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.
Dr King was speaking not only to those who say "No, you're black, you're not acceptable", but also to those who would say, "We need a black, or women, or hispanic, or you name it, for this position because we have too many white males, etc, etc." Both statements are inherently rascist. The problem today is that the liberals will just not see the truth in that.
I should say some liberals. I think the vast majority of the democrat leadership doesn't believe or practice equality, but use it to garner votes to get/stay in power. Their words alone should not judge them, but their actions as well. Ted Kennedy's membership in the Owl club, Feinstein's pistol, John Kerry's (or his family's) many gated, protected mansions, for example.
Kennedy used an article that was SATIRE for his accusations.

Dinesh D'Souza was the editor of Prospect at the time, and he confirms that the article, by H. W. Crocker III, now an editor for Regnery Books, was a satire:
The essay may not have been funny, D'Souza acknowledges, but Kennedy read from it as if it had been serious instead of an attempt at humor.
"I think left-wing groups have been feeding Senator Kennedy snippets and he has been mindlessly reciting them," D'Souza said. "It was a satire."
Hey, no fair mentioning the Owls' club. Remember, Liberals are moralizers not moral actors.
And that's fine by me. They deserve it.
keep it up!
It should be it's own thread.
And I'm sending it to Drudge, Rush, Sen. Specter, Sessions, etc.
then post it~
The Congressional Black Caucus refused to accept J.C. Watts, another BLACK, but a Republican Black.
I will. How about "Kennedy lied. Women cried."
LOL
Kennedy drived, a woman died.
Excellent article. Thanks for posting it!
"Kennedy lied. Women cried".
"The Democrat Party died".
(I wish.)
I guess they just aren't as tolerant as Republicans.
It's a stand alone thread now; what a great find by Powerline and MEG33.

Conservative Concerns
Then and now.
By Henry Payne
As a Princeton senior in 1984, I met the editor of Prospect, a magazine published by a conservative group called the Concerned Alumni of Princeton (CAP). He was a minority — an Indian immigrant named Dinesh D'Souza. The following year, his ex-Dartmouth College colleague, Laura Ingraham, succeeded him as editor. Fast forward 22 years to this week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing room where committee Democrats declared Supreme Court nominee Sam Alito a bigot.

Example:
on their weary and seemingly endless questioning of Judge Alito on his views on Executive Power, does anyone remember hearing any of these concerns expressed during the Clinton years? As I wrote in another thread here where a poster had stated:
"You know, every dem Senator and most the dem witnesses seem to be obsessed with the idea that they have to pull power away from the executive branch."
Did they speak out about that issue when Clinton was issuing a record number of Executive Orders?
A search of the topic of Clinton Executive Orders is revealing, including this one
Why weren't Kennedy et al complaining about this extensive overreaching of Executive power?
