What Party?

A Louisiana Representative used a racist crack in an interview and got some criticism in the media. But did they report the fact that she was a Democrat? Noooooo! They never DO when a Democrat screws up, but they ALWAYS do when a Republican screws up. Do you see any mention of this woman's party in this report? "A state representative in a runoff election infuriated civil rights leaders after she ended a conversation with the mother of the NAACP's local president by saying, 'Talk to you later, Buckwheat.' State Rep. Carla Blanchard Dartez, of Morgan City, acknowledged she made the remark during a Thursday night telephone conversation with Hazel Boykin to thank her for driving voters to the polls. Buckwheat, a black child character in the "Little Rascals" comedies of the 1930s and '40s, is viewed as a racial stereotype demeaning to black people." Imagine that! (News Busters, 11/7/07)
