Liberals Come out Against Blacks


This may be old news, but I felt a post was necessary. Has anyone seen this quote from an article from the Washington Times today (Drudge has it):

Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican.

Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance, calling him an "Uncle Tom" and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.


Operatives for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) also obtained a copy of his credit report -- the only Republican candidate so targeted. But black Democrats say there is nothing wrong with "pointing out the obvious."

S.A. Miller, "Party Trumps Race for Steele Foes," Washington Times, 11/2/05 (http://washingtontimes.com/metro/20051101-104932-4054r.htm)

And then there's this gem from Milwaukee Journal Sentinal:

In losing a woman, the court with Alito would feature seven white men, one white woman and a black man, who deserves an asterisk because he arguably does not represent the views of mainstream black America

Editorial, "A Nomination that Will Divide," Milwaukee Jounral Sentinal, 10/31/05 (http://www.jsonline.com/news/editorials/oct05/367053.asp)

Then Michelle Malkin (at http://www.michellemalikin.com/) posts the "despicable photo that left-wing bigot blogger Steve Gilliard (proving that blacks can be vicious racists, too) published and only removed after conservative bloggers blew the whistle" (see photo above).

Now why is this acceptable behavior? Why hasn't the Democratic Black Caucus, the NAACP or anoyone else that purports to represent blacks said something about this? And why doesn't BIGMEDIA (networks, NY Times, Washington Post) cover it?
