national convention, if you had people coming out saying he s a token or uncle tom or oreo back then and i m not saying that he has not been subjected to racist insults, because he has, but the left would have gone bananas. this guy happens to sound more conservative sounding, i ve never heard him with a broad brush, but the ideals. the normal people expressing outrage are the ones levelling the charges. they re the ones saying tokenism. imagine, i mean, it started with a commentator on another network, imagine if a commentator on fox news said the kind of things he said about barack obama, there d be outrage around the country and go on the other network, left-leaning and saying it about a conservative and it s all right. a combination of a couple of things, intellectual lazeness on the part of the left.
