Carl, you leave me dumbfounded.

By the way, I doubt whether blacks are that
seriously void of moral values. They just tended to vote
heavily for Clinton, and that influences their current opinion
of him. You would get the same polling results if you asked
white people who voted heavily for Clinton, I suppose.


I was trying, in the post you responded to, to be as ironic and sarcastic as I could manage. As in, perhaps some values, such as belief in civil rights for all people, and the advance in that that Kennedy and Johnson were larely responsible for, are a whole lot more important that how successful they were in keeping their zippers up in the White House. (Which they both failed at miserably.)

And hence that perhaps what the Repubs are at the moment calling a crisis of moral leadership is in fact much ado about very little.

And I am no bleeding heart liberal. I think affirmative action for the sons and daughters of black doctors and lawyers is a highly questionable liberal imperative these days, for example.
