Just as when NBC set up a sting at a NASCAR race to catch anti-Muslim rednecks, this cartoon typified what snooty liberals believe about conservative whites. They are in total denial about the Democrat Party being the party of slavery, segregation and racism.

    "These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again." --Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D., Texas), 1957

    I wonder how much they'll give Obama before they pull back on his leash.
