LOL! Now that is a white lie - perfectly acceptable! I guess I mean one should be honest with oneself - and examine all the facts.

With thanks to Magnatizer and GROUND ZERO: newsmax.com With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff For the story behind the story... Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2000 10:09 a.m. EST Facts Belie Dems' Race Smear Against Ashcroft It's testimony to the power of the liberal media that it took this long for some of the relevant facts about the civil rights record of Bush attorney general pick John Ashcroft to emerge. But after two solid weeks of Democrats smearing him as a racist because he opposed President Clinton's appointment of soft-on-crime judge Ronnie White to the federal bench, Kris W. Kobach, professor of Constitutional Law and Legislation at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law, has stepped into the breach. Writing in the New York Post, Kobach reports that Ashcroft: * Signed into law the state's Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday as Missouri's governor; * Led the fight to save Lincoln University, an institution that was founded by African-American soldiers; * Named eight African-Americans to state judgeships, including the first minority on the Missouri court of appeals; * Also put three African-Americans into his Cabinet; * As senator voted to confirm 26 of the 28 African-American judges nominated by Clinton. Surely this information should put an end to the relentless campaign to portray Ashcroft as a closet Ku Klux Klan member. But as long as the press continues to ignore the Missouri senator's real record, it won't.
