Wow, I see our two token repubs crawled out of the woodwork again.

And here is an excellent example of how you take your assumptions, possibly built from your own racial biases, and create a straw dog out of them that you then try to use to bite your political opponents. It's common knowledge that minorities ARE the minority beneficiaries of various social programs. But it makes you comfortable or superior in your own mind to demonize your political opponents beyond rational boundaries.

Besides, Clinton was out first black president. Obama is our first gay president.

I almost can't believe how you liberals can talk down to groups like the NAACP in this way by assuming that they have no political will beyond shared ethnicity. Listen to Allen West. He's constantly calling out people for this kind of racism. Romney came and spoke to this group as a group of voters. He didn't change his tune for them and he didn't assume they were all just voting for the black guy. His appearance before them was an example of what non-racist behaviour is all about. They seem to have known it. Of course the supposedly intellectually superior liberal elite who really do consider themselves everybody's 'masters' dont get it and will build on their already sturdy house of hipocrisy by throwing out accusations of racism at everyone they don't agree with.

What in the hell are you talking about?

Its called being consistent. He and most every republican has been using that term quite publicly in any forum that you can name.

And, when one's political opponents live outside the boundaries of rationality, that's where one has to go to combat them (you).
