Karl Rove longing for the good old days...

...when he could have owned slaves. What a complete idiot.

The [private hedge fund] conference featured a debate between Donna Brazile, former campaign manager for Al Gore’s unsuccessful presidential run and prominent member of the Democratic Party, and Karl Rove, a Republican strategist and commentator best known as the chief political adviser to George W. Bush.

At a certain point in the discussion Rove offered this “joke” to Brazile, who is black:

"I did you a great favor bringing you into politics in the 1860 campaign and this is how you repay me? We’re happy you got the right to vote but it wasn’t your current party that was responsible for it."

I've been hearing cons claim that Abe Lincoln was a bigger racist than Trump all day.

Jeebus. And they wonder why people like me always bring it up.

Cons live in an alternate universe.

Didn't failin' Palin say blacks were better off as slaves?

Yes but cons will give her props for being non-PC.

PC = not racist?

PC = not racist?

TAPPER: So, you obviously feel very passionate about the national debt. The other day, you gave a speech in which you compared it to slavery.
PALIN: To slavery. Yes. And that’s not a racist thing to do, by the way, which I know somebody is going to claim it is.
TAPPER: Don’t you ever fear that by using hyperbole like that — obviously, you don’t literally mean it’s like slavery, which cost millions of people their lives and there was rape and torture. You’re using it as a metaphor. But don’t you ever worry that by using that kind of language, you — you risk obscuring the point you’re trying to make?
PALIN: There is another definition of slavery and that is being beholden to some kind of master that is not of your choosing. And, yes, the national debt will be like slavery when the note comes due.
TAPPER: So you’re not — you’re not work — I mean I’m — I’m taking it as a no, but you’re not — you’re not concerned about the language —
PALIN: I’m not one to be politically correct, evidently.

Yep.

If you're not racist, you must be PC.
