Why can't liberals tolerate dissent?

It is utterly unexplainable why liberals believe that blacks, Hispanics, women or any "group" should march in lockstep with their way of thinking. Freedom of the individual, the right to NOT be labelled and identified by race and gender is quite appealing to many of us. Heaven help any of us, however, who dare to disagree with the left. A special bit of vitriol is reserved for us.

What really seems to torque them into orbit, however, is when a black female embraces conservatism. THEN their heads truly explode, unable to comprehend why they won't toe the line when they've offered so much to them -- welfare, freedom from the constraints of their faith, liberation from that slave institution of marriage, regulating/litigating their small businesses to non-existence, coddling the murders and gangsters who threaten their children, dumbed down, valueless schools for their children......now who could resist all of that?

Watching judicial nominations as I do, it was horrifying to see a particular website viciously attack Janice Rogers Brown, one of the President's nominees to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.

Here's the "cartoon":




Charming, isn't it? Can you imagine the howls if a conservative website drew this racist garbage?

Well, the tolerant left has done it again. From the Washington Post online edition, cartoonist Thomas Oliphant gives us this little gem on Condi Rice:




Unbelievable.

I expect that Rice will handle this attempted character assasination with the same charm, grace and dignity that Brown did in her hearing. These are two extraordinary women who are more than just mere survivors. They are living, breathing examples of the word "lady" which, where I come from, is the ultimate compliment.
