REMEMBER Andrew Breitbart, the right-wing publisher whose doctored video was responsible for the firing last year of Shirley Sherrod of the U.S. Agriculture Department? You would think people had learned about Breitbart and would be wary of ending another career based on his claims. Not so.
Recent offenders include New York Atty. Gen. Andrew Cuomo with his "shuck and jive" nonsense about [Hussein Obama] and U.S. Rep Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), who said: "How did race get into this? Because Obama said race." He also raised the drug issue by saying Obama mentioned it in his book because "I guess he thought it might sell books. Next, Black Entertainment Television founder Bob Johnson called Obama "a guy who says I want to be a reasonable, likable Sidney Poitier in 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.'" He also alluded to Obama's admitted youthful drug use first raised by silly Clinton sycophants Mark Penn and Billy Shaheen. A recent piece by Bill Maxwell, a Black columnist with the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times, put things in perspective. Headlined "An "Honorary White Man,'" it begins ...

There's no question [Hussein Obama] is taking the Black vote for granted, which is his right. [Jesse Jackson] and Rev. Al-who are Black through-and-throughdid the same thing. But that's where they differ. And it's where Obama being half-white may come into play. Earlier this year, Bill Maxwell-a Black columnist with the St. Petersburg (FIa.) Times-put things in perspective. Headlined "An 'Honorary White Man,'" he began "...his [Obama's] overnight rise to national prominence has everything do with race, that many whites will vote for him because he doesn't make them feel uncomfortable... Obama is what many Blacks (and some whites) pejoratively refer to as 'an honorary white man' who can soothe white people.

Politics overtook the work of the Tobacco Tax Advisory Committee on Monday, as members voted to replace Daniel Keating as chairman less than four months after they had elected him to the position. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma Tax Commission is proposing another emergency rule to cut down on the number of different tobacco tax rates offered to tribal smoke shops. It was definitely political, there was no other reason for this, said Jeff Williams, one of the few committee members who opposed the vote to end Keating's term as chairman and install committee member Bill Maxwell as the new chairman, for a term to end Dec. 31.
