How About, “Don’t Appoint Him Just Because He’s Black?”

The race card is played: Don’t “hang or lynch” the black man chosen by Rod Blagojevich :: Toby Harnden

Taking to the podium at the end of a bizarre, shambolic press conference in which Governor Rod Blagojevich sought to appoint Roland Burris to the US Senate, Congressman Bobby Rush dared white Democratic senators to block a black man from joining their ranks.

He urged people “not to hang or lynch the appointee as you try to castigate the appointer” and, after saying repeaedly that Burris would be the only African-American in the Senate, said that he believed no senator would want “to go on record to deny one African-American from being seated in the US Senate”.

This is what passes for rational argument on the diversity-maddened left.
