(62,325 posts)40. How about Van Jones? And the minority workers he and his lunatic employee, O'Keefe
falsely targeted at ACORN? Funny how almost all of Breitbart/O'Keefe's targets are minorities. And why would he hire a known racist like O'Keefe to do his dirty work for him? O'Keefe has scrubbed his old blogs which showed without a doubt his racist leanings.
Every 'stunt' perpetrated by the Breitbart/O'Keefe team had racist undertones to them, long ago noted by people who pay attention to actual news.
Using someone who is married to an African American is not a surprise. It's part of the game plan as they expect to be accused of racism being that most of their attacks are on minorities. So they use people to try to deflect from those charges. Which you just tried to do.

I like MHP, but it is AL Sharpton who would eat him alive... MHP would be overtalked...

I'm hoping they'll both get their chance. I just think that "intellectually" MHP would destroy him.
