David Broder most be rolling over in his grave considering the vituperation involved in this Washington Post editorial board opinion piece about 97 House Republicans who sent a letter objecting to the possible nomination of Susan Rice to be the next Secretary of State:
...Could it be, as members of the Congressional Black Caucus are charging, that the signatories of the letter are targeting Ms. Rice because she is an African American woman? The signatories deny that, and we cant know their hearts. What we do know is that more than 80 of the signatories are white males, and nearly half are from states of the former Confederacy. Youd think that before launching their broadside, members of Congress would have taken care not to propagate any falsehoods of their own.
When the Washington Post editorial board calls you racist, you know you've crossed some kind of invisible line.

(53,661 posts)With their PNAC scheme, they'd wipe out half the world's population - the part that doesn't look or believe as they do. The world's people are more attracted to someone like Obama who shows he regards them as worthwhile human beings, not rubbish to be destroyed. Their plans for people here in this country is evidence they intend to create a feudal world government, with themselves at the helm, not a cooperative association between the peoples.
