You guys do get that this is what that Hot Air link is trying to do? Pound


a wedge into our society with a steaming pile of bullshit. Yeah, sure, this is an accurate read of any dem's idea about a future platform. Why, because something called the Free Beacon got the scoop on it? This is a race and class baiting article that should be ignored.

Really, what Tuck said wasn't racist. It was an acknowledgement of how complicated it would be to deal with slavery and racism in America, 150+ years after the Civil War, with reparations. If we actually were to do that, it would make the race problem in America worse, not better. Because all that money sloshing around would certainly lead to corruption, and I bet you would see questions exactly like Tuck raised.

That's what an article like this is designed to do. Take a sensitive issue, and throw gasoline on it, and watch people with different views fumble around with political correctness as the match, and boom, the whole thing goes up in flames before you know it. Wedge successfully hammered into place.

In the age of social media and endless Internet bullshit masquerading as news, we really need to learn to ignore stupid shit like this. But unfortunately, there is nothing more gullible than a political mob.
