Byron York, who writes for National Review, gets caught in a rare instance of honesty:
It’s one thing for delegates to be understanding and compassionate about the fix these two teenagers have gotten themselves into. It’s another to actually celebrate it. And, given what we’ve learned in the last few days, if Johnston is up on stage with his girlfriend and the Palin family, and Republicans are wildly cheering, it will certainly look like they are celebrating this situation.
I don’t usually engage in these scenarios, but I’ll do it here. If the Obamas had a 17 year-old daughter who was unmarried and pregnant by a tough-talking black kid, my guess is if that they all appeared onstage at a Democratic convention and the delegates were cheering wildly, a number of conservatives might be discussing the issue of dysfunctional black families.
The only thing I would add to this is that not only would conservatives be “discussing the issue of dysfunctional black families”, they’d be on all the radio shows and tv talkfest to tell us exactly what that teenaged block mother was: a welfare queen; a freeloader; a pariah; a social parasite; and of course, a slut.
Perhaps this will mean the end of the tasteless and factually wrong Obama Baby Mama slurs being hurled at Michelle Obama, who waited until she was an adult and married before she had children.
Oh, who am I kidding, conservatives will say and do anything no matter how ugly, dishonest, or unethical.
