The leftists tried to...You are of course, correct. The leftists tried to create moral outrage over a complete non-issue. But a non-issue has never stopped leftists and their media pals from beating the "racial insensitivity" drum. Certainly not when someone who takes a conservative approach to life is the one under fire. <br /><br />Mia Love, Condoleeza Rice, Herman Cain, J.C. Watts, Clarence Thomas, Allen West, Nikki Haley and so many other conservatives have had race-based attacks leveled at them by the left with nary a whisper from the media, unless it's to add support for the leftist attack. But the moment a conservative utters the slightest thing that could possibly be twisted into being "racist" or "insensitive" the leftists and media latch right onto it and drum it into public memory over days or weeks at a time. <br /><br />By my count, there were more than 30 entries in the blogs on Spokesman.com in just four days that expressed some form of outrage over his "insensitive" comment. <br /><br />Now obviously, that is quite purposeful. First, it keeps up the energy of the self-righteous outrage. Second, it creates a huge amount of search engine optimization, drastically increasing the odds that when Regan comes up for election and someone does a search for his name, that person will come up with one of those posts and shy away from voting for him, because of the manufactured outrage. <br /><br />So really, this out-of-proportion response to an innocent comment has been turned into a highly effective tool to cause a political enemy of the leftists to lose votes when elections come around.
