Howard Dean Condemns Racism

It took him a while, but Howard Dean has reluctantly come around to the public position that Democrats shouldn't engage in racism, with qualifications of course.

"I oppose any effort to make an issue of a candidate's ethnicity in a political campaign, including in the Maryland Senate race," Mr. Dean said.

The issue surrounds a U.S. Senate race in Maryland, where the Democratic Party has taken the official position that darkies aren't capable of independent thought. The Democrats have gotten so shrill and panicky about this race that they've even engaged in illegal identity theft in their attacks on Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, the colored guy who refuses to know his place in Maryland politics.

By the way, the New York Times has yet to inform its readers that New York's senior senator is embroiled in that identity theft scandal.
