Congress: The first black Republican senator in three decades will be a spokesman for Tea Party conservatism and a proud member of the party that was founded to fight slavery and made the civil rights revolution possible.
Though he'll inevitably be dismissed as a "token" or worse, Rep. Tim Scott, the next Republican senator from the former slave state of South Carolina, and the first black GOP senator since Edward Brooke of Massachusetts, shatters once again the stereotype of the GOP as a party of racists and sexists.

How long before the liberal media starts running stories with headlines like ‘Tim Scott’s after your white wives & daughters’.

Good. Now, let’s get Allen West or some other upstanding brother elected to the Senate, and they can form the “Senatorial Black Caucus”, preemptively, before they Democrats can lay claim to that moral high ground. It’s about time they got a taste of their own medicine.

Not sure either would go for “black” caucus, but they might go for Tea Party caucus!

He could make history, if he simply would endorse a challenge to Obama’s eligibility during the reading of the votes of the Electoral College.

The Democrats drove Edward Brooke out of his Massachusetts seat.
And now they refuse to appoint their black governor to a seat.
Racist crooks.

He is not the first black Senator since Brooke. There was the dingbat from Ill-Annoy Carol Mosely Braun from 1993 to 1999. Who writes this stuff?

No, they picked a
deminted, token, race-traitor, Uncle Tom, Oreo teabagger: I checked the reaction to this on DU last night, and DUmmies would never lie---would they?
"...how any person of color could ever have anything to do with today's Repukelican party...," was one of their nicer comments.
But we're the mean spirited racists?
