Let The Wolves Fight Each Other

John Podhoretz this morning on Fox News noted how suspicious it is that ex-KKK member, Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, opposed senate confirmation of Thurgood Marshall, Clarence Thomas, and Condoleeza Rice, all blacks. Now despite the fact that Byrd’s opposition at least to Thomas and Rice is probably not racial but merely petty political reasons; despite the fact that Rice and Podhoretz are not without flaws; despite the fact that playing the race-card is generally despicable … I found this attack on Byrd to be delicious. If it’s untrue it makes it even more delicious. Let the Democrats suffer from the mindless, groundless racism accusations that they are responsible for hurling at normal people all the time. Bush’s apparent new strategy to use the race card–blacks receive less Social Security benefits than whites–to make Democrats squirm is also one silver lining.
