Democrats and Bigotry

I have long maintained that the modern Democratic Party in America is more similar to the Nazis of Adolf Hitler's Germany than the Republican Party. Whether you look at race-based preferences overruling meritocracy (affirmative action) or eugenics (pro-choice politics that disproportionally affects black and those with Down's Syndrome) or intolerance of opposing viewpoints (political correctness), the Democratic Party is far more Nazi-like than the Republican Party (with it's stance on individual as opposed to group rights).

This is perfectly illustrative of what I see as a cancer on the soul of America. In an article in the Washington Times, Maryland Lt. Governor Michael S. Steele (R) was pelted by Democratic activists with Oreo cookies.

Now if Republicans pulled a stunt like that, the MSM would be aflame (as well they should). Here, nothing. Indeed, the sense of identity politics is strong that that black Democrats are attacking him because Mr. Steele's policy positions don't advance "the black community". Get this:

Delegate Salima Siler Marriott, a black Baltimore Democrat, said Mr. Steele invites comparisons to a slave who loves his cruel master or a cookie that is black on the outside and white inside because his conservative political philosophy is, in her view, anti-black.
"Because he is a conservative, he is different than most public blacks, and he is different than most people in our community," she said. "His politics are not in the best interest of the masses of black people." [ital. mine]
During the 2002 campaign, Democratic supporters pelted Mr. Steele with Oreo cookies during a gubernatorial debate at Morgan State University in Baltimore.
In 2001, Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. called Mr. Steele an "Uncle Tom," when Mr. Steele headed the state Republican Party. Mr. Miller, Prince George's County Democrat, later apologized for the remark.

So, if Mr. Steele expresses any view other that the Democratic Party Line ("you do what you white masters at the DNC tell you, now"), you're and "Uncle Tom".

And they wonder why they lose elections.

Prediction: Mr. Steele will win a narrow victory, despite lots of ugliness from the left in general and the Democratic Party in particular.
