It was a victory for conservative Republican insurgents and a sign of the changing of the guard in the South: Scott, a member of the South Carolina state House, defeated Paul Thurmond, son of the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, who retired from the Senate at age 100 in 2003. Thurmond ran for president in 1948 on a segregationist platform.
By sheer coincidence, I did find an ironic news story:
Geoffrey Dunn: Palin Guilty of Major Ethics Act Violation: Must Return $386,000 in Contributions
Palin found guilty of committing ethics violations when she set up a trust fund to...defend herself from ethics violations.
Oh, the irony....
Tim Scott wins nomination to become first black Republican congressman since 2003 - On Politics: Covering the US Congress, Governors, and the 2010 Election - USATODAY.com
The district is Republican enough that Scott will almost certainly win, making him the first black Republican in Congress in about eight years. If just two of the thirty or so others who are running win, there'll be three black Republican Congressman for as far as I can tell the first time ever. I know Allen West at very least has a good chance of making it.
More from the SC GOP primary runoff: Nikki Haley won the nomination for governor; she being Indian-American, this is a good night for diversity in South Carolina, which isn't exactly known as being a particularly diversity-embracing place. Also, Bob Inglis became the fourth Congressman this year (if my count is right) to get ousted in a primary; he didn't even get 30% of the vote.
I'm struggling to find the connection between what you posted and the OP. Can you clarify?
He's a major conservative from Justice Thomas' mold so, it's not much of a win.I am feeling all warm and nice after reading this.

But yea, conservatives care about people being conservative, not color. Conservative no longer means racist. There are still racists in america, but on an ideaological scale, racism is done for. A conservative republican is no more apt to be racist than a liberal democrat.
Yea, controlling spending is SOOOOOOOO racist! Are you living in Europe?Are you living in the U.S.A.? Have you seen some of the Racist signs that Conservatives bring to their Tea Party Events? Get Real Dude!

Ah yes, the Race Card.... the last refuge of the hopeless.
See ya in November.
What's more hopeless: The man holding the racist sign or the man calling him out on it?
Option 3 - the person that makes a conclusion that an entire group is racist because of the man holding a racist sign.

Game, set, match.
There is no cause so right you can't find a fool among its followers, if you're looking for one.

Perhaps one of you chuckleheads could find the post where I said all tea partiers were racists?
Or anyone else who said it, for that matter?
Edit: And perhaps you could explain this sentiment of yours and how it applies to me saying something sympathetic to the Palestinians and being called a terrorist supporter for it?

This is the comment you're defending:
My comment was directed at her, since it was her stupid post that got the ball rolling.
The word "all" does not appear to be in that post. Nor the post it was quoting.
Unless the word "all" is used, it's never a good idea to assume the person means it. Absolutism never goes well.
