In case you haven't seen it (http://hotair.com/archives/2011/08/16/ed-schultz-rick-perrys-reference-to-a-big-black-cloud-was-a-racial-crack-at-obama-wasnt-it/), Ed Schultz actually said that because Gov. Rick Perry uttered the words "black cloud" that it was code for racism.
Sadly, if the video were accurate he Schultz made these comments it would be silly enough. But the video, as Breitbart points out, was edited to fit their narrative.
Liberals have a long history of trying to use ever bread crumb they can to imply Conservatives and/or Republicans are racist. Not many people outside Dallas or Texas know who John Wiley Price is, but he fits the Schultz mode to a T.
Suddenly a "black hole" is a racist term too. (How about telling the audience "you're all white people, go to hell" is that racist?) So when the awful stock market day in 1987 was labeled "Black Monday," was that racist? What about the term "blacktop?" So the charity event Clark County Gerogia event named the "11th Annual burning up the blacktop 5K is racist and should be banned too?
No, none of it should be banned. Ed Schultz is about as far off base as you can be except for the fact that is the M.O. for liberals. They cannot be trusted to offer sane thoughts, only idiotic hairbrain ones.
Would a racist appoint the first ever black to the Texas State Supreme Court? Well, Governor Perry appointed Wallce B. Jefferson in 2004 to lead the highest state court. George Will wrote "In the 1850s, on the steps of the Waco courthouse, Wallace Jefferson’s great-great-great-grandfather was sold. Today, Jefferson is chief justice of Texas’s Supreme Court. The governor who nominated him also nominated the state’s first Latina justice. Rick Perry, 61, the longest-serving governor in Texas history and, in his 11th year, currently the nation’s senior governor, says these nominations are two of his proudest accomplishments."
In fact, the Governor has a long line of apppointments that are in stark contrast to any Anti-Black or Anti-Hispanic comments that will surely be made. But Liberals don't look at facts, they make silly statementts without knowledge all the time.
UPDATE: Apparently Ed Schultz made some sort of an apology (http://hotair.com/archives/2011/08/16/ed-schultz-sorry-for-deceptively-editing-that-rick-perry-video/), but not completely. He went on his show Tuesday night to say they didn't put the quote in full context. What he didn't say is, "we shouldn't have called him a racist." Remember, Schultz was taken off the air for making sensitive remarks about Laura Ingraham and apologized. Be the judge for yourself, but shouldn't he apologize for calling Rick Perry a racist not just for being creating in their editing?
