Liberals are the biggest racists.

The commie ‘RATS sure do get hysterical when a minority escapes their plantation. The racist white boys down at the NYT need to relax and try to lighten up.

“The acid test of whether a staunch conservative like Scott is a token is whether black voters, who are overwhelmingly liberal, will vote for him? I thought, per the excerpt above, the point of his alleged tokenism was to attract more centrist but Republican-leaning voters to the party, not black Democrats. In that case, even if he wins with 60 percent of the vote in 2014, he’ll still be a token, right?”


Yup. He’s not a “real” black until liberal blacks vote for him, which they never will because he’s in the GOP.

Yeah God forbid a black man in this country dare not accept the Democrat Plantation of sitting on their asses waiting at home for their welfare check and food stamps to pay off the 10 baby mamma’s that they have. Tim Scott is a man who made something of himself, something that leftists can’t stand. The left are the biggest racists that have ever existed. They talk about being “Tolerant” please, the only tolerance they show are for people who agree with them, otherwise they are “tokens” and “idiots” Mia Love got the same crap that Tim Scott is getting yet these leftists smeared Republicans for not wanting Susan Rice to be Secretary Of State

Not only is the articles author accusing Scott of being a “cornball brother” (Uncle Tom), but he’s a coward, also. No comments permitted to his article.

They say that because Tim is blacker than our all-knowing and most merciful Barack Hussein Obama II.

Unless Scott is a “yes sir bossman” to the GOPe, Tim Scott does not stand a chance, they will in two years, do to him, what they did to LTC West, and they will continue to use liberals as there cover.

I'd like to Ditto your remark.

Liberals are the biggest racists.

One minor clarification however. It's not 'Liberals.' There ain't any Liberals left -- none like Humphrey of Monyham or Scoop Jackson. They are dead and none like them are allowed in the Democrat party inner circle today. Maybe I can say what you said and be more accurate to the current day.

Leftists are Racists when it serves their agenda!

“Adolph L. Reed, Jr. is a professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in race and American politics. He has taught at Yale, Northwestern and the New School for Social Research. An expert on racial and economic inequality, he is a founder of the Labor Party and a frequent contributor to The Progressive and The Nation.”

Who appointed this asshole the arbiter of what other people THINK?!

My dad’s best friend was black and that was back in the 50’s in the South. I don’t need some liberal jerk to tell me what I should think about the color of someone’s skin! My problem with people in general is who they are as a person. Being called a racist is getting pretty damn old. They need a new play book.

Tim Scott did something that Hussein has been unable to do: win over a majority white voters. Now tell me who is the real “post racial” politician?

How is it tokenism to offer a candidate that excites the base by virtue of his or her beliefs?

But this “first black” rhetoric tends to interpret African-American political successes — including that of President Obama — as part of a morality play that dramatizes “how far we have come.” It obscures the fact that modern black Republicans have been more tokens than signs of progress ...

Not at all, but for some reason the Demonrats pull out all the stops to besmirch, ruin and destroy any black Conservative.

Even if the Republicans managed to distance themselves from the thinly veiled racism of the Tea Party adherents who have moved the party rightward, they wouldn’t do much better among black voters than they do now. I suspect that appointments like Mr. Scott’s are directed less at blacks — whom they know they aren’t going to win in any significant numbers — than at whites who are inclined to vote Republican but don’t want to have to think of themselves, or be thought of by others, as racist ...

We are still waiting for the proof of the rampant, unmitigated racism at the Tea party rallies. And if anyone benefitted from white guilt voting, it was Zer0 in '08.

For Mr. Scott, the true test will come in 2014, when he will presumably run for a full six-year term. As Mr. Obama has shown, the question is not whether whites are willing to vote for a black candidate, but whether black candidates can put together winning coalitions (no matter their racial makeup) and around what policies. I suspect black South Carolinians will not be drawn to Mr. Scott.

So in your opinion all blacks will vote the same way. How very . . . what's the word I'm looking for . . .

“That’s why they hate you. “

The feeling is mutual, actually I may despise them more.

LOL!

Liberal blacks have a new term for blacks like Scott and RGIII. Along with the old standbys like Uncle Toms, race traitors, etc., they now call them lawn jockeys.

“.....the thinly veiled racism of the Tea Party adherents
who have moved the party rightward.....”

Here is another example of a typical left wing false pre-
mise. The reality they can never see is that it is the
liberals that move farther to the left, not Tea Party
“adherents” who move farther to the right. The
libtards need to dust-off their dictionaries and look
up the definitions of liberalism and conservatism.
