The right-wing has claimed another scalp, this time a black bureaucrat in the Department of Agriculture who was thrown under the bus by the Obama administration today for an incident that occurred 24 years ago. Never mind that the entire point of her recent retelling of the story was to encourage people to look beyond race. Never mind that the white folks she [allegedly] did wrong are standing by her and consider her a "lifelong friend." Never mind her years of dedicated public service. She had to go, if for no other reason than to appease the Becks and the Limbaughs of the world, who apparently call the shots.
ADDING: You probably hadn't heard that ACORN was completely vindicated either. Had you?
