Don't cite WFB to prove conservatives aren't racist

Really?

Calling on the memory of WFB chasing out the Birchers to defend conservatives, saying they must equally drive out the racists?

WFB defended white supremacy in the American South, in the then Rhodesia, and in South Africa.

I don't know that I'd want to claim WFB as a noble ancestor of conservatism while trying to defend conservatism against charges of racism

Right now on MSNBC, Rev. Al Sharpton and Craig Melvin arguing with Larry Kudlow.

Ali Velshi broke in announcing a presidential tweet dissolving two Councils of CEO's, one of them by the vote of the CEOs.

Kudlow fully embraced the GOP myth of trickle-down economics, saying what's important to him and the congressional GOP is getting to the agenda.

Tax reform, he said, - and it's well known that this is about big top-end and corporate tax cuts - will boost the rate of American economic growth to 4 %.

Velshi cut him off with scorn, saying there was nothing in the GOP plan that could do anything remotely like that, that he would grow an Afro before the US economy grows at 4 %.

Velshi is bald as a billiard ball.
