That said, I appreciate that you're among those willing to call Saltsman out. (See the comments at Hot Air for Daily Kos-worthy outbursts from supposed conservatives contending that "negro" is simply a descriptive term that should be just as socially acceptable as "black" or "African-American.") I've avoided labeling Saltsman's CD gaffe intentional largely because the alternative is too disheartening. Until someone offers me evidence to the contrary, I'm calling it an act of supreme stupidity that reveals how ridiculously unprepared Saltsman is to lead the RNC.

It is a reflection of the type of leadership at upper levels of government in this country. With wars on two fronts, an industrial tragedy, and other demanding problems, our RNC leadership is still picking at the scab of race. It is a dangerous wedge to drive into a citizenry that must pull together as a united state. It transcends ignorance. It borders on terrorism. It is the type of event that our enemies love to see. It is an intentional attempt to distract us from solving problems that are threatening our country. No, it isnt just bad taste or poor judgement.
