For decades, major league baseball teams have run farm systems, i.e., minor league teams where new players could hone their skills and learn how to function in the big leagues. Well now it appears that the Democrat party is trying to emulate that system. Yesterday, the chair of the Louisiana state Democrat party, state senator Karen Carter Peterson, announced on the floor of the state senate that the only reason that legislators and others oppose Obamacare is because president Obama is black. That's right, the chair of the Louisiana Democrat party says that opposition to Obamacare is all racism and nothing more. It seems that this Louisiana state senator has gotten down the moves needed to take the place of national party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Remember last year when Debbie told America that Republicans were trying to destroy the economy because they wanted to hurt president Obama? This Louisiana lie is right up there with the one Wasserman Schultz told.
On the other hand, the minor leaguer in Baton Rouge still has to learn the full technique. Today, after yesterday's slanderous outburst on the floor of the state senate, Karen Carter Peterson just does not have it in her to face the press. New Orleans TV is filled with video of the senator running from the cameras, running into the rest room, running into the Capitol, and just running away so that she does not have to respond to questions about her statement. In other words, she has managed to make herself into a laughingstock.
Phony charges of racism have no place in America. We had enough problems dealing with real racism that we do not need race baiters like the Democrat chairman of Louisiana adding to the issue with knowingly false charges. Since the statement was made on the floor of the legislature, the senator is immune from lawsuits for slander, but she ought to be shunned for her conduct nevertheless.
