WTF is up with Larry Elder?

[Keith Bee]

This is a snip from WorldNutDaily's resident...well, my Irish-American ass has no right to "UT" the man, but here it is:

Here we go again. A Republican official, this time a member of the Orange County, Calif., GOP Central Committee, stands accused of – racism!

Her crime? She forwarded, to a circle of friends, an email depicting an image of a family of chimpanzees, with the superimposed face of President Barack Obama over the baby chimp's face. The caption read, "Now you know why no birth certificate." The national media soon picked up the story with the implicit "GOP-is-bigoted" story line.

Given her position as a central committee member, America's ugly history of demeaning images of blacks and the Democratic Party's unfair but calculated characterization of the Republican Party as racist the official exercised poor taste and bad judgment. She has apologized. But many demand her resignation.

This is a teachable moment. The Democratic Party has lost the "white vote" in every presidential election since 1964. Democrats attribute this to white racism. Yet in 2008, when a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll asked whether voters would refuse to vote for a qualified black for president, only 3 percent of Republicans said "yes." More Democrats – at 4 percent – than Republicans admitted refusing to vote for a qualified black for president. Republican presidents have appointed more blacks to positions of authority than have Democrats. Of the black members of the House of Representatives, the only ones from majority white districts are Republicans.

This guy always defends the established power structure. Why?

1. Some blacks for whatever reason dislike blacks so much they'll defend the racists!

2. Larry Elder is a libertarian, with a Big L.

He's yet another black person who decided that rather than be one of many in a party that benefits most black people, he would cast his lot with "the other side" where , as long as he spouted their nonsense, he could be a high paid shill that they could trot out at "token-time"..

3. I agree, there is nothing racist in portraying africans as monkeys.

This is the first time I have ever heard of anyone doing this.

Oh by the way, do you know that you can catch a glimpse of Fay Ray's milky white breasts while she is being sexually assaulted by an enormous black gorilla in the original King Kong?

Elders is 10000000000000% right(wingnut).

4. A 1% difference is well within the margin of error for ANY poll. n/t
