Sen. Sherrod Brown - DIM - Ohio
Ohio Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown gave a lecture, that was supposed to be non-partisan, to a group of Washington interns. I don’t know about you, but comparing opponents of a government hijacking of health care to those who opposed Civil Rights is not what I’d call non-partisan.
Daily Caller: While most speakers who participate in the summer lecture series discuss what it’s like working in Washington or use the time to motivate the internship class, some who were present during the Tuesday meeting said Brown took the opportunity to launch what they considered to be “a partisan attack.”
“He said that people who were opposed to health-care reform were similar to the bigots and racists that were against desegregation reform,” a Republican congressional intern who attended the lecture told The Daily Caller. The intern requested not to be named. “It was ridiculous,” he added.
I’m sure Brown failed to tell the interns that it was the Democrats who were against Civil Rights. He also probably forgot to mention that socialism is incompatible with the rights of the individual.

They say this because Obama is black.
It was part of the plan all along:
Oppose the President and you’re a racist.
Equate all he does as part of “The Struggle.”
Healthcare is NOT a right.

The Republican Party was not so badly split as the Democrats by the civil rights issue. Only one Republican senator participated in the filibuster against the bill. In fact, since 1933, Republicans had a more positive record on civil rights than the Democrats. In the twenty-six major civil rights votes since 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 % of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 % of the votes.
The Democrats have done an awfully wonderful job painting the GOP as racists and bigots but thats only to cover up their own racism and bigotry.

Democrats have the largest number of minorities in their party.
I’m sure we all know why that is. It is not the party of choice for the typical redneck.
A black man would have NEVER been elected president if he were a Republican. Poor Michael Steele only served as a token AFTER the Dems elected President Obama… and he has now been cast aside like yesterday’s garbage.

And these minorities are finding out the hard way that the Democrats can’t be all things to all people, no matter what they promise on the campaign trail.
But hey! By all means, go ahead and explain away a 16% unemployment rate among blacks with pablum about ‘typical rednecks’ and bumper-sticker slogans. Sure is a hell of alot easier than defending the perpetually vacationing failure, isn’t it?

The Dems always accuse the GOP of doing what they do. The civil rights thing is just another example.
