Shameless in South Carolina.

Mr. Rowen - are you claiming that racist statements like that would not have been made in South Carolina prior to Mr. Obama being elected to President?

James Rowen said...

No, but I do think Obama's election has unhinged a lot of people. Note that the slur against the woman running for Governor included the same swipe at Obama - - which was equally gratuitous.

To me the most important part of the article was the surprisingly honest ending comments by the "giddy" former Democratic party chairman.

Explains a lot of what is wrong with our government/political systems and why they are failing us on all accounts.

That's rich. Someone who sits on a board for One Wisconsin Now bemoaning the unhinged, the lack of decorum and the decline in political rhetoric. Don't hurt yourself on that high horse, James.

I've been following this a bit.

"Relax, that's just Jakey" seems to be the dominant opinion in the region.
