Maryland Democratic party Codemns Racial Attacks on Steele

State Democratic party Chairman Terry Liermann said in a statement that his party would not condone racial attacks on black Republican Lt. Gov. Michael Steele (see link to Washington Post article). "The Maryland Democratic party condemns all words, images and acts that suggest or reflect bigotry and hatred," Lierman said. "Racism, discrimination and prejudice are the enemies of freedom and the antagonists to our diverse, democratic society."

I am glad to see Democratic outrage for these ugly racial attacks on a black person just because he holds a differening view point. I think blacks in the Democratic party should remember that the Emancipation Proclamation applied to their minds as well as their bodies.
