Rush is being targeted simply because he is a conservative and a leading critic of President Obama’s wealth redistribution policies. With conservative blood in the water, it’s predictable to see the “race card duo” – Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton – circling the victim. Since the election of the first black president, they have been searching for some white meat to feed on and Rush just happens to be a juicy target. Whipping up unjustified black anger is their specialty. Frankly, I see their effort as “get whitie” – an inherent racist act. It’s outrageous that the “race card duo” are worried about Rush buying a football team following a graphic example of black on black gang violence in Chicago – Jackson’s home town. As so-called black leaders they should be putting their time and effort in dealing with the human tragedies in the urban community: crime and failing schools and not a conservative exercising his right to play in the free market. Project 21, a leading voice of black conservatives since 1992, is sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research (http://www.nationalcenter.org). -30- Home | Donate | Subscribe | Search | About Us | What's New | Blog | Twitter 501 Capitol Court, N.E.
