Hillary The Racist?

No. Many, many dreadful things. But not that. At least, not based purely on pointing out that there would have been no Civil Rights Act without Lyndon Johnson. An all-white Congress passed that Act, and a white President signed it. Those are just facts.

As is Obama's total lack of connection to the Civil Rights movement. And as is the Clintons' - oh, what's the word? - enslavement of it. Where is John Edwards's black running mate with deep roots in that movement?

Where, even, is Mike Huckabee's, since that movement's heart is the network of economically populist, doctrinally and morally traditional black churches?
