Oh, red state.

I try to take it easy with posting stuff from Red State, because, seriously, not enough time in the world y’all.  But I couldn’t avoid commenting on this bit of semi-subtle racism about Obama winning the Nobel Prize.

I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota for it, but that is the only thing I can think of for this news.

Now, I’ll agree there can be reasonable discussion about Obama’s qualifications for the NPP.  However, implying that anytime a person of color is awarded something it’s because of “quotas” or “affirmative action” is a pretty dismal level of discourse.  Not that I’d expect much better from RS.
