Leftists Once Attack Yet Another Accomplished Black Republican

It's been an awfully racist week among leftists as they attack black Republicans for not toeing the line when it comes to political values they're expected to hold. We've covered how the ladies of "The View," including old, angry white woman Joy Behar, went after Justice Clarence Thomas and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), the latter who just recently made it official he is running for president. But there's been another target, Kentucky's Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who last week handily won the Republican gubernatorial nomination to face Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear. 

NewsBusters' Curtis Houck addressed what he aptly called a "smear" put forth in the subscribers-only column from Joe Gerth, "Does choice of Daniel Cameron for governor mean Kentucky Republicans aren't racist?" From his headline alone, Gerth manages to attack not just Cameron, but the commonwealth as well as a major political party.

Gerth begins by referencing one letter to the editor for the basis of his column. "If Republicans are so racist, how can we vote for a black man?" Gregory Winborn of Paducah wrote in a letter to the editor last Thursday. Gerth acknowledges that Cameron is the first black person nominated for the position, but that ends up being the basis for his smear, after he claims Cameron "essentially said the same thing [as Winborn] in his acceptance speech on Tuesday."
