    You know it's funny

    Outside of the worthless cable news and places like Salon I've heard no one so far, at the primary level, intra party mention race as an issue. It really looks like a concoction whipped up by sites like this who think they can run with it.

    And the 5 black South Carolina women who were asked on CNN who they will vote for seemed noncommittal at best. None of them offered up an opinion either way. And do you know why?

    Because everyone has sucked deep from the flagon of PC Liberal non offensive 'every opinion is valid, every point of view is just as nice as any other, I'm sure that if I express all the sides of every story at all times, everything will think I am tolerant and broadminded, yaay Me!'

    Or, it's simply that the differences between the candidates is roughly the slim distance between the upper thighs of a Brazilian prostitute that allows a crack of sunlight to pass when her legs are (rarely) together.
