I am sure you have seen this. It is all over the blogosphere. I was late getting to it because of being so busy today! Thanks to Jill for reminding me of it.

Michell Malkin is all over it, of course. She knows this kind of leftwing bigotry herself all too well.

The Washington Times today:

"Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican.
Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance, calling him an "Uncle Tom" and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.
Operatives for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) also obtained a copy of his credit report -- the only Republican candidate so targeted.
But black Democrats say there is nothing wrong with "pointing out the obvious."

Imagine for a moment if you will, a Republican doing such a thing. The howling from the left would be heard across the nation! You know what really makes me sick? Is thinking it's ok to denigrate his race if you happen to share that race.

The oreos are dispicable. It reinforces the notion to young black kids that they must follow a certain dress code or mindset or way of speaking to be black.

And the ministrel face! Who in their right mind would do such a thing????????

Good Grief! Every black in Maryland should vote for Steele just as a protest alone for this kind of sick behavior.
