Tony Snow, conservative pundit and incoming White House press secretary, told television viewers in 2003 that racism is no longer a "big deal," RAW STORY has learned.

Ironically, the remarks were made in defense of Rush Limbaugh's assertion that quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated by a media showing preferential bias to "black quarterbacks."

"Here's the unmentionable secret," Snow said on an October 2003 edition of Fox News Sunday, "racism isn't that big a deal anymore." Snow argued that "no sensible person supports" racism, arguing that the problem is "quickly becoming an ugly memory."

1. Among other racists its no big deal

but among the rest of us it still is a big deal Mr. Snowjob.

4. "For me, being racist is as easy as falling off a log."

"Almost as easy as lying."

2. What about those

damn ATHIESTS THO?

THank god for Raw STory and their ability to just walk away from being laughing stocks and try to morph it into another subject avoiding the original crap they printed, and without EVER apologising..

More bullshit, more coverup of their real intentions than a cat in a shitbox.

3. It's all a matter of perspective

Exxon on high gas prices--not a big deal.

Diebold and RNC on election fraud-- not a big deal.

PhillipMorris on lung cancer-- not a big deal.

When you're white and you've "made it" how do you even know?

5. Quickly becoming an ugly memory as we all forget about Katrina.

Forget, forget, forget, forget.

6. It shouldn't be, but it is

I don't know what kind of delusion people are under who can't see the connection between poverty and race in this country. I guess they see it, but can't understand how it can happen, while at the same time, flying their confederate flags and honoring their confederate heritage.

7. Bringing to mind...

...the anonymous caller to a T.V. talk show some years ago who said, "Rush is right. Racism is dead in this country. And I don't understand what the n*gg*rs are complaining about now."

8. Of course it's no be deal!

Besides greed, hyprocrisy, selfishness, and bigotry, racism is just another basic common everyday right wing Republican character trait.

9. Uh-Huh....just like the cancer Snow is battling is not a problem

either :eyes:

10. Happy, happy! Thank Zod they picked a racist asshole!

IMO, he will do more damage to the GOP than anyone before him. So racism is not a problem, because no sensible person supports it? Snowman, you shit KKK hoods and eat Nazi propaganda like it was candy! What a total freeptard!

11. gee, a clueless conservative asshole

stop the presses
