That even excuses Ted for calling any person of color in the GOP an "Uncle Tom"?

Of course it does.

>So that excuses the Dems from all of their stinking partisanship?

Um, the characterization was from Grover Norquist, who the Republicans have been kowtowing to for the last ten years. Did you see the last RNC leadership debate? Tom DeLay and his ilk also view politics in the same way. That's what your party has become.

>Nancy Pelosi can claim that the more Congress becomes Democratic, the more "bipartisan" it becomes, just because someone on the right claims "bipartisanship is date rape"?

There's something to that. Republicans have engaged in "my way or the highway" politics for a long time now while Dems, particularly Obams with his ridiculous ideas of being able to get 80 votes in the Senate for his important causes, have bent over backwards.

>That excuses David Ehrestein from calling Obama the "Magic Negro"?

Did you actually read the article?

>That even excuses Ted for calling any person of color in the GOP an "Uncle Tom"?

Well, if the shoe fits...
