If Palin made an issue out of GOProud, then the media will bash her for being homophobic. Instead, the media is playing up the john Birch angle as proof of a smoking gun that CPAC and all conservatives are racist.
Last month, Rachel Maddow made a big stink about the JBS being a sponsor of CPAC. She went on a tirade about how the JBS supported Jim Crow laws as a means to stop Communism.
Funny, I don’t remember her going ape s—t over Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, who was a leader of a KKK unit in his home state, who also opposed striking down the Jim Crow laws, and who also trashed the Republican he won his House seat from, for voting to strike them down?
I don’t know that aspect of the JBS’ past. It may or may not be true, but if we can forgive Byrd and look at his current work free from relevance from the past, we can look at the JBS free from relevance from the past.
It really is interesting though, that those who didn’t want the Jim Crow laws from the past struck down, now trash those who did, and are avowed supporters of communists and worse.
