 Does anyone believe that if there was an investigation of a conservative talk radio show or network to determine whether government grant money intended for a poor and minority children non-profit summer camp was used for either personal use or for use in the business, that the media would be so quiet?
Michelle Malkin has some perspective on this. Both she and others have been keeping up on the investigation and asking the questions that the mainstream media should be asking.
Where are they? Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are the supermen of the civil rights establishment -- able to leap tall buildings in a single bound to get in front of a picket line. When victim politics calls, the demagogic duo leap into patented action: March. Boycott. Shakedown. Repeat.
But the raging reverends are nowhere to be found as a scandal involving the liberal radio network Air America and a Bronx, N.Y.-based inner city charity for poor children brews. Why the silence?

A few days ago, I argued that the complaints against what John Roberts wrote 20 years ago about civil rights law boil down to the fact that he was against racial quotas. Ed Whelan shows how this is true with respect to complaints about what Roberts wrote on the Voting Rights Act.
Ed sums it up nicely when he writes:
Roberts’s documents show that he embraced the “bedrock principle of treating people on the basis of merit without regard to race or sex.” The Left’s vision, as Roberts recognized way back then, treats people not as individuals but as members of castes or social groups and focuses “on advancing particular groups as groups.” [Power Line]

Their best shot doesn't win, former Ohio State House Representative Jean Schmidt (R) beats Iraq war veteran and trial lawyer Paul Hackett (D), who says that Bush is a bigger threat to the country than bin Ladin. And whose campaign never mentions his party affiliation, only that he served in Iraq. His campaign ad makes him to appear to be republican. They believe they have to hide or decieve in order to win. Can you hear me now?
Bashing Bush and the war in Iraq does not win elections. This younger version of John Kerry didn't work.
GOP's Schmidt Wins Ohio Special Election. Republican Jean Schmidt narrowly defeats Iraq war veteran Paul Hackett to win a special congressional election in Ohio. By foxnewsonline@foxnews.com. [FOXNews.com - Politics]
