The Democrat Party: racist baby-killers
In recent weeks, James Taranto has been becoming bolder and bolder (for a mainstream journalist at least) in - shall we say - "calling a spade a spade." When soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid denounced the intellect of Justice Clarence Thomas, Taranto first hinted at, then flatly called the Senator racist, along with other segments of the Democratic establishment.
Taranto continues to promote our case on the matter, and continues to say it in ever bolder terms. After quoting Democratic operative Donna Brazile on abortion when she said, "Even I have trouble explaining to my family that we are not about killing babies," Taranto goes on to explain how the Democrats may decide not to fight a batte to replace one anti-Roe justice with another. He ends with this:
Since it looks as though President Bush is going to get a free pass on his first Supreme Court pick, how can he make the most of the political opportunity? First, by elevating Clarence Thomas to chief justice. Thomas vexes many Democrats because they are racially prejudiced, and it's quite possible they would not be able to resist the urge to mount a (futile) campaign against him. Then Donna Brazile can explain to her family that Democrats are about keeping black people down as well as killing babies. (my emphasis)Of course, the fact of the matter is the abortion scourge itself has been doing both things at once all along, as we noted last year (third item).
UPDATE: I should have noted something else. Any math whiz can tell you what 90% of 13 million is. The Roe Effect is apparent no where more blatantly than within the black community. If just a fraction of the millions of black children aborted since the early 1970's had been able to vote in the 2000 or 2004 presidential races, the grotesque margins voting for Democrats surely would have tipped the balance over any (supposedly) aborted Republican votes.
