Progressives Terrified by another Black Man

[JoeNormal]

Yup. This one has them terrified.

"Raised in Detroit by a single mother with a third-grade education, he graduated from Yale and the University of Michigan Medical School, before being named director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins. Hisoperations to separate conjoined twins brought him international fame.

An audience in Indianapolis, where he spoke recently, gasped when his introducer said he had received 60 honorary doctorates.

His up-by-the-bootstraps life has convinced him that government aid to the poor creates a culture of dependency. His message of self-empowerment is one that he and others hope Republicans can use to peel away African-American voters, 90 percent of whom voted for Democrats in the midterm elections."

He's the example of how the bootstrap method works?

lol, how many black children of his identical circumstances grew up to be doctors, or comparable successes?

Denying the poor all assistance works because you found one guy who made it?

goddam that's brilliant logic.

This is a typical right wing success story. He made it so anyone should be able to make it. Tornados sometimes drive sticks throught trees too.

And yet, she was no less qualified to be VP than Obama was to be President when he was first elected..........

Obama taught constitutional law for 10 years at the University level, He was a state senator and a US senator and yet had no experience???? It's cuz he's black, right?

He was a senator for less than 2 years. Palin was governor for longer than that.

LOL, a liar by omission ^^^.as well as the quintessential asshole.

"Omission" of what?

Omission of his time in the State Legislature, and childhood experience living in a different country, experiencing a different culture, completing law school and working in a culturally diverse community, likely the reason for, his interest in running for elections.

Vis a vis being Mayor of a tiny town, and serving as Governor of Alaska for all of 27 months.

He thinks evolution is a myth:

Maybe he doesn't like what it says about black people.

No. It says he's an idiot who happens to have been trainable enough to acquire a skill in a specific craft.

How about anyone else you know. They idiot enough to become Chief Neurosurgeons at John Hopkins?

I'm smarter than he is on evolution.

Now that's funny.

I guess we'll wait and see.

He's probably trying to hire someone to go as him.
