   So what you are saying is that when a well known liberal makes a blatantly   
   racist remark as a "Joke", then makes an "apology" after, not before she is   
   nationally raked over the coals, then that should be enough.  However, when   
   Trent Lott, or Michael Richards does the same thing, they tried to get Trent   
   removed from his job, and Michael's apology was never accepted.  I could go   
   on and on about conservatives who are branded as racists, but it seems that   
   it is always the case that a liberal who does the same thing should be   
   forgiven.  Even Mr. Obama, who claims to be "African-American", has racism   
   in him.  He says that he is a black man.  The press and the liberals treat   
   him like the second coming.  Scratch that.  The third coming.  MLK is   
   treated as the second coming.  Mr. Obama conveniently left out that he is   
   only half black.  One parent is not black.  But then he couldn't place the   
   race card.  If John McCain were mixed race and claimed to be white, the   
   liberals and media would have ripped him a new one.   
      
   No, she has not done enough for what she said.  What she claimed that she   
   didn't realize was racist.  Anybody who saw the clip can tell that it wasn't   
   said as a joke.  She was serious when she said it.  Just like when she   
   claimed that our soldiers were terrorists.  Then she claimed she never said   
   that.  It is time for this person to just disappear from the national scene.   
   She has said things before and will again.  And later will make a false   
   apology.  Then as always the liberal media will forgive her.  Once again we   
   see the double standard.  Some things never change.
