Notice a pattern here...

Van Jones, Ambassador Rice, Eric Holder, and President Obama. What do they have in common?

Republicans gin up news from non stories.
Republicans make hay out of anything to get at the President.
Republicans use these folks to keep the "real" stories off the front page or the major news organization.
Oh yes, let me not forget the most important reason. They are black.

I can't be the only one who has noticed this have I?

But according to many Republicans, noticing is very racist of you. Just as I have read countless times that Obama is the "most racially divisive president" EVER in our entire history. Since I don't see anything racially divisive in his policies or his rhetoric I can only assume he accomplishes this by being POTUS while black. I don't know whether this comes from their gut or that they just know their base and that it'll be a breeze to create a controvery if the target is non-white. Even better if said target is black.

What's nice is that, at least in terms of the bigger picture, they just spitting in the wind. And the wind is picking up.
