1. Of course, he adds the little swipe at the end.... How dare anyone think

he's a racist when he calls a black congresswoman a "ghetto slut"???

How could anyone ever think so after all of his other wonderfully civil comments, for instance about the Katrina victims (who apparently were all poor, lazy black people according to a reasonable assessment of his many statements)

Whats next, if Boortz ever says a statement like "I believe that the main reason the execution of Tookie Williams won't be executed is because Schwarzenegger knows full well that as soon as Tookie's death is announced there will be riots in South Central Los Angeles and elsewhere. The huge media exploitation of this story has made drop-dead sure of that. There are thugs just waiting for an excuse ... not a reason, an excuse. The rioting, of course, will lead to wide scale looting. There are a lot of aspiring rappers and NBA superstars who could really use a nice flat-screen television right now..." I'm sure that ol' librul media will take that out of context and claim its racist just 'cuz they hate him! Oh wait, he actually did already say that...

2. Thanks for this.

I just can't believe all the radio/TV/internet commentators that have made such horrible negative statements of this great Representative. I love her new do. I thought she looked very cosmopolitan and love the way this hair do looks. Many of us would have to spend around 100.00 to get a perm to do that great look. It definately gives her a younger look.
Thanks for the info to write the Jackass and let him know how pathetic he is.

Rep McKinney is my hero and I wish she would run for President !!!!

4. I agree with you! And welcome to DU!

I think CM is a beautiful, talented, very intelligent woman - and a kick-ass congressperson. She is honest and compassionate and tells the truth to power. I wish she would run for president, too!

3. Kind of him

"...Boortz added that it "won't mean anything to people who consider any negative comment or criticism of any type at any time about anybody who is not white to be racism." Y'mean, 'ghetto' and 'welfare queen' aren't code words anymore? I musta missed that memo.
