"Exactly how is that comment racist by any conventional definition of the word?"
You don't believe it's racist? How about changing the context just a little. Chit'lins? It may be the only thing Republicans have left to offer Blacks, Is that racist?

Jim Messina was hired by Obama to run his reelection campaign. He, perhaps more than anyone else, speaks for Obama the candidate. If he says something improper then Obama needs to hold him responsible." This is clear and rational thinking. I like it. "But that tweet is a tempest in a teapot - a thoughtless use of a throw-away quote, and certainly nothing like what went out under Paul's name." It's a tempest in a tea pot because he is a progressive statist maybe? The all seem to have a "get out of racism free card." The bottom line, and you know it to be true, is that any Republican or Republican proxy would be excoriated for this. That is not right. "Ron Paul was involved in the publication of the newsletter that went out under his name. Obama did not. End of story." The way of the progressive statist. It's over because I say it's over. Kind of like a dictatorship or fascism. J - The assumption that spending more of the taxpayer's money will make things better has survived all kinds of evidence that it has made things worse.
