Juan Williams gets paid for this

By now, unless you've been sticking your toes in the sand on a beach in some warmer clime, blissfully unaware of the bottom-feeders in the Republican presidential race, you will be aware of the latest bigoted Republican audience reaction at Monday night's debate in South Carolina, televised by Fox News.

Naturally, Newt Gingrich behaved with despicable relish in response to a question from Juan Williams about his race-baiting lies about poor people having no work ethic, etc., and drew lusty cheers from the assembled yahoos in the process. The sublimely named blog We Are Respectable Negroes has this to say:

Juan Williams earned his several million dollar a year contract as Fox News' designated black whipping boy conservative last night...

There is racial progress in America: the Republican crowd for last night's South Carolina debate only booed Juan Williams for his uppity back sassing, whereas not too long ago they would have called up a lynching party.

Once more, my black conservative readers, can you please explain your affinity for a Republican party that consistently (and with glee) lies about and belittles African Americans? And which does so before a national audience--and even to one its "exceptional" pet negroes?

Oh, and Rick Perry, who refuses to leave the stage, made another gobsmackingly ignorant statement — this one claiming that America's NATO ally Turkey is run by Islamic terrorists. Seriously, it's time he went back to the N-wordhead Ranch for some huntin' and fishin'.
