Republicans Continue To Show Their Respect For Coretta Scott King
At the CPAC Convention (a huge Republican shindig taking place now in D.C.), Ann Coulter gave a speech stating the following:
Seen out in the hallway right after Coulter's speeech, Bill Frist was asked about her statements. Frist stated: "I wasn't there so I better not comment."
It's part of the Right's new rules of decorum. You should only disavow racist comments or hate speech made (publicly) in your presence.

Coulter on Muslims: "I think our motto should be post-9-11, 'raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences.'" (This declaration prompted a boisterous ovation.)
Coulter on killing Bill Clinton: (Responding to a question from a Catholic University student about her biggest moral or ethical dilemna) "There was one time I had a shot at Clinton. I thought 'Ann, that's not going to help your career.'"
Coulter on the Holocaust: "Iran is soliciting cartoons on the Holocaust. So far, only Ted Rall, Garry Trudeau, and the NY Times have made submissions."
Coulter on the Supreme Court: "If we find out someone [referring to a terrorist] is going to attack the Supreme Court next week, can't we tell Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalito?"
Seen out in the hallway right after Coulter's speeech, Bill Frist was asked about her statements. Frist stated: "I wasn't there so I better not comment."

While civilizations evolve, one constant is human passions.
Coulter proves the point by demonstrating that she is no different from the 19th century lynch mob: associate crime with race, then ignite racial passions.
What is not surprising is Republicans' silence in the face of all this. After all, what put them in power was appealing to white racism in the south, after the Civil Rights movement put the Dixicrats out of business (recall W's South Carolina push poll question: "would you think more, less or the same of McCain if you knew he fathered a black child out of wedlock?")
One thing you needn't worry about is a Condoleeza candicacy. The true soul of the Republican party--the cheerers of Coulter; the defenders of Trent Lott; the inheritors of Lee Atwateer tactics--simply will never let it happen.
