Name that racist!

"Next week, when we start doing our black media stuff, Jesse Jackson needs to be on air in the black community on our behalf."



"Our black media stuff"? Have you read anything more racist?



The quote's from 1988. (September 8, 1988, New York Times.) It was said by a member of the Mike Dukakis campaign.



Who said it?



How insulting is that statement? In one sentence, you've got "our black media stuff" and you've got the implication that Rev. Jesse Jackson, who had run a strong campaign that appealed to all, is only fit to be 'trotted out' to "the black community on our behalf."



Who was the Dukakis staffer that made those insulting remarks?



Here's a hint, the person is a cable TV gas bag today. Invited on many CNN programs.



Have you guessed yet?



She's the worst yet.



Yes, it's Donna Cooking With Nutso Grease Brazile.
