[Strangler Lewis]

I certainly don't think all conservatives are racist. However, the breakdown of the black family is viewed as a major social problem, a root cause of black crime--toughness on crime being more of a conservative issue--and a problem that blacks are expected to fix themselves.

I said it before, if it came out that right after the Democratic convention that Barack Obama had a teen daughter pregnant by a boyfriend who talked tough in a black way on his MySpace page, or that he had a hypothetical teen son who smoked crack, I doubt that all the Republican grandmothers who were sympathetic to Bristol's human plight at the Republican convention would have said similarly nice and forgiving things about Obama's family.

And we know that O'Reilly, Hannity, etc. wouldn't have.
