RAGGED THOTS: Mighty White Of You, Pat

RAGGED THOTS nails Patrick Kennedy for his hypocrisy.

What I found most interesting was this: when Patrick Kennedy, Democrat, thought of and wanted to share an example of a common criminal, he thought and shared "African American in Anacostia." Is this ethnic stereotyping, racism or both? Could Tom Delay have used that example when he was booked, without getting lectured by the MSM and eventually explaining what he really meant?

Thank you Patrick K, for once again showing how liberal condescension breeds contempt.

UPDATE: I don't think I would categorize Kennedy's comments as racism, but I do think it highlights for the gazillionth time that (1) lefties are held to a different standard on comments such as these (e.g., if he were a righty, the MSM and other lefties would not hesitate to look into his heart and ascribe his comments to patent or latent racism); and (2) lefties do not feel the need to think about the underlying meaning of these sorts of stupid comments because they consider their ethnic/racial bona fides to be well established by their membership in the lefty class (e.g., Hollywood engages in more racial stereotyping in movies and television on a regular basis than practically any current institution on the planet, but Hollywood stills feels it can lecture the rest of America about how "progressive" and "enlightened" it is.)
