…perhaps they’ve found a convenient outlet for their bigotry.

You can say that again!

The Michael Steele Black-face caricature was actually done by a Black man who runs a far Left blog. He’s one who feels “Black” equates to a certain political view. I’ve spared with him on occasion, but you know how it is presenting facts to Liberals. They never get it.

There’s certainly an antipathy for Rice on her part that very well could be “racially motivated.”

All the taboos on racial sensitivity are removed when it comes to black conservatives (“de facto whiteness” again) and you can see that many white Liberals gorge themselves on the most vile of ethnocentric cheap-shots (Ted Rall’s racist cartoons, the vile cartoons against Mike Steele, etc) when it comes to black conservatives.

Some have said, black and female conservatives are considered “traitors” to the cause of Liberalism that they supposedly owe so much, but another possible explanation is that perhaps they’ve found a convenient outlet for their bigotry.
