Each play of the race card gets more and more pathetic.
Via Mediaite:
In a March 29 column for the Washington Post, columnist Lisa Miller compared Rep. Bobby Rush’s (D-Il) recent appearance on the House floor in a hoodie and sunglasses in support of slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin – and subsequent calls for him to discontinue speaking by presiding officer Rep. Gregg Harper (R-MS) – to how black Americans were treated by Southern whites in the mid-20th Century.
“Members need to remove their hoods or leave the floor,” said Rep. Harper. Rep. Rush did suspend, but the images of that moment troubled Lisa Miller. In her column, “Trayvon Martin: Doing justice, having faith in social media,” Miller sees parallels in the way Rush was treated by the Congressman from Mississippi.
