The Closet Racism of MSNBC

In today's edition of Impromptus, Jay Nordlinger has some absolute gems that bear repeating.  Here is one of them:

A commentator for MSNBC, that fountain of hate, said this about Herman Cain and white Republicans: “I think they like him because they think he’s a black man who knows his place.”
And what would Cain’s place be? Federal Reserve banker, CEO, presidential candidate?

It's an absurdity that liberals today are able to play the every-Republican-is-a-closest-racist card and get away with it.  Has anyone actually read any history before?  The Democrat party was solidly in the South from around the 1830s to around the 1960s, and the Republican party was created in the 1850s in partial response to the growing slave power of the South.  In 1915, Woodrow Wilson held the first movie screening in the White House.  The movie?  It was D.W. Griffith's The Birth of A Nation.  I could go on, but it's something too low to waste any more time on.  It's just odd that the Republican Party seems to attract the inherent racism label from Democrats when history says something else entirely.
