Charlie Sykes' Newfound Love for the Race Card

It seems that Charlie Sykes, captain of the neo-con zombie brigade, has turned a new leaf. He’s playing the race card. First he produced a commercial basically accusing Governor Doyle of being a racist. Forget the fact that he has two adopted black sons and has proposed several initiatives that will be helpful to many in the African American Community. Now he is targeting our fellow blogger Xoff. What is Xoff’s great sin? He is questioning the legality of running those issue adds on WTMJ Radio. Responding to the question today, Sykes entitles a post “Xoff To Black Kids: Shut Up.” I don’t pretend to know the legal implications of this matter, but I do know that Sykes response is typically outrageous.

I find it hard to believe that the new advocate for the African American Community in Wisconsin is Charlie Sykes. He is the same guy that would love to cut every social program that benefits that very community. All so that other white guys in his tax bracket can possess more stuff. Such a noble advocate!

When any African American dares to suggest that race is ever an issue, Sykes and those of his ilk are outraged. Apparently he is not so offended when some rich white guy with a political ax to grind does the same.

For anyone who has the time to do thorough research:
Charlie Sykes on the "race card."

My cursory glance seems to say that he doesn't much like it.
