Yes, and it was a load of baloney, obvious to anyone who took a close look at the accusation. Not that the media didn’t do everything they could to trumpet it far and wide.

I guess it all depends on whether or not she is good looking. We need to stick to priorities.

“Is the fact that Ryan has dated interracially a noteworthy detail to consider when analyzing his politics and policies?”

I have to see a picture of his “college sweetheart” to make a determination. :-)

“For the record: No, I am not calling Ryan a racist. I am saying”

You assume too much Ms. Keli Goff .
How about investigating Obama instead?

“those who hold stereotypes about a particular group of people are unlikely to have those stereotypes altered merely by encountering someone who defies that stereotype. Instead, they are likely to view the individual defying said stereotype as an exception.”

“Not every stereotyper is blind to the individuality of every member of the group she stereotypes. We have seen that a stereotyper can acknowledge a particular member of a group as being an exception to a stereotype.”

Nice, Cherry pick what you want to people to hear and with alittle wordsmithing you have propaganda. Maybe Lou Dobbs just doesn’t like Illegals? And, wasn’t Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina a Democrat before he saw the err of his ways and moved to the light, I mean right?

Since when when did it become against the law not to like someone because of the way they act or something they have done.

PS. I don’t like you, sue me.

In 1989 I dated a black girl who was a Democrat. And she was hot, too!

Conservatives don’t consider race relevant to governmental decisions, so it doesn’t matter to us. Liberals are inherently racist, but they always apply a double standard to republicans, so the fact that Ryan is indifferent to race will not help him with liberals, not when they judge him as a conservative.

Quite frankly, I don’t give a damn one way or the other. This was a stupid race baiting question asked by Keli Goff, a black women, a blogger and political commentator known for her contributions to the Huffington Post.

As a brother in arms, you know I am just kidding, and hope you know of my utmost respect for your personal contribution as I assume yours for mine. We may not have chewed on the same dirt in some far off land but no matter because the taste is always the same.

Evidently the lovely Mrs. Paul Ryan didn't think it mattered, so it doesn't matter to me and it shouldn't matter to anyone else, either.

I’d say “no more than it matters that Obama is half Arab.”

Or is it 25%? Either way, race just isn’t the issue progs try to make it..
