With Rep. Tim Scott (R) being chosen to succeed longtime Congressman Jim DeMint (R), a black commentator is amused by liberals’ demonization of the new South Carolina senator.
With this week’s appointment by South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, Rep. Scott is now the first black lawmaker from the former slave state since the late 19th century. So, Kevin Jackson of The Black Sphere says one would think liberals would celebrate the selection.
“It is the absolute picture of diversity. You take a black congressman who’s being appointed by an Indian, a lady of … East Indian descent, and she’s a female,” he points out, refering to Gov. Haley.
“Can you imagine what this would be on the left if they were doing it? They would be trumpeting it from the highest mountain peaks that look at how diverse we are.”
But instead of celebrating Scott’s appointment, left-leaning journalists and bloggers are condemning the choice, calling it Republican “tokenism.”

The more I read of these so called “liberals” and “progressives” the more convinced I am that they are the exact opposite of anything truly liberal or progressive in the truest sense of both those words. Anyone who is not on their side of the issues, is not good enough, be they black, yellow, white or in between. Elect a black man to office, or a female black person, or any other race or religion and if they are on the GOP side of the aisle, they are either a Uncle Tom, token or worse. Look at what they did to Herman Cain, and Allen West! Black men, respectable and honest, hard working men, both of them, yet the left demonized them and ran them “out of town on a rail”! Not to mention what the so called “right” did also! The saying that “there is no honor among thieves” comes to mind here, because all of our current politicians are nothing BUT Liars, Con Men, and THIEVES! They squabble among themselves, over the leavings of our nation’s ecomonics, and we sit here starving while they fight over what’s left of us and our nation!
As far as I am concerned, not one of these politicans in Washington, or in seats of power in all 50 states are worth a tinker’s damn, and probably even less! Flush them all, and start over with new “toilet water”, and useable “Tidy Men and Women”! ya’ll remember the “TIDY MAN”, don’t you?
