OK, for the disclaimer impaired, this is not about all democrats.  Just the stupid ones.

Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois has decided that the Nation of Islam, an avowed racist organization, deserves a seat on a hate crimes commission.  And in so doing, 5 of the members have resigned in protest.  The new member, Claudette Marie Muhammad, has refused to disavow Louis Farrakhan's racists rantings, and so the other members feel the commission is now a farce.  As do I.

Gov B. is a democrat that is just thinking he is paying back his constituents, or more precisely, his electors.  But in so doing, he has gone back to the roots of the democrat party and decided that as long as you are not white, you cannot be a racist (which still begs the question of sheets Byrd).

But the Nation of Islam is a racist organization. period.  It does do some good, but then Mussolini made the trains run on time.  But that does not excuse its racist dogma or teachings.  Indeed, perhaps one of the most consistent and reliable champions of human rights for Blacks have been Jews throughout the history of the US.  And yet, they spit on the Jews as less than human and slave owners. (Yea, that Berkley Plantation is a hot bed of Jews!).

Why would a supposed liberal minded politician put an avowed racist on the board of a hates crime commission?  Logic defies an answer.  For the only answer is that they still don't walk the walk, they just talk the talk.  So their willing supplicants, who vote for them every election (way back to the post Civil war era), are granted a stature that most organizations will never see.  Why?  because the one thing that is necessary to get into the Democrat power structure is to bring lots of votes.  Dogma does not matter, only votes.

They sell their souls (if they had them) for votes, and not principal.  it is a farce, but don't expect the MSM to expose it.  They sold theirs long ago as well.
