Salena Zito has something to say about the sudden free pass to attack the race of black candidates when they happen to be Republican. The author could have been more specific with examples, as they are aplenty. Naturally, they go relatively unchallenged.
The superheros of the black movement -- Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton -- are noticeably absent when a black Republican is attacked.
They have no problem donning their race-card capes when a liberal black is attacked. But they had a hard time finding Maryland on the map when New York Sen. Chuck Schumer's henchmen did an illegal credit check on Michael Steele.
Where was their outrage? Their circus-like news conferences?
Oh, wait -- Steele isn't black, he's Republican.
Then again, does Steele, or any other minority conservative, really want Sharpton and Jackson to swoop in and save the day? Probably not.
