I caught part of "To the Contrary" on Sunday and there was a Republic - Black, female, pretty, intelligent and a great speaker - who basically said "Conservative victims of "Teh Gay Agenda" are homeschooling their kids and withdrawing from society at large because all these new laws are impinging on their God given right to discriminate against and hate on minorities."

Now I've suspected, for some time, that Black Republic Pundits (BRPs) were plants - mercenaries, if you will, in it for the money and laughing all the way to the bank.The RNC and the M$M believe they're gaining some sort of legitimacy for their arguments because they're being spoken by the most generic, yuppie-friendly African Americans they could find to parrot their talking points. But only ignorant, racist white people are falling for it. The BRPs are:

1) More intelligent and far better spoken than their white counterparts.
2) More sane and far less prone to "go off" than their white counterparts.
3) More prepared than their white counterparts.
4) More knowledgeable on the subject (current (R) talking points) than their white counterparts.
5) Far less threatening than their white counterparts - "teh crazy" of the white pundits is nearly absent in the BRPs.

Now, if I've ever seen a case for affirmative action, this is it. The BRPs represent a class of Americans who, by whatever means, have attained the dream. Not content to stick to their highly paid day jobs, they insist on showing up on the Sunday talk shows, hogging the two or three slots the M$M reserves for minorities each week, preventing the vast majority of African Americans, Asians, Latinos, Middle Easterners, et. al., from having a voice on these shows. It's just not right.

While I wouldn't put it past Pat (or Bay) Buchanan to bust a cap in someones ass, the BRPs are pussy cats - "Carlton" from the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air". It think it's time we sat someone next to Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity who scares THEM for change. If we're going to have diversity on these political talk shows, lets have some real diversity.
