There was a better article on Salon earlier, but they may have taken it off or merged it into this one.

Basically, it said Newt pretty much got away with dog-whistle racist comments due to a friendly audience to that kind of thing.

Williams did a very poor job of asking the questions, btw.

Newt was spot-on that a little labor is just the thing to help cure modern aimlessness, regardless of color. It is way past time to crumple up the worn out race card and throw it in the dust bin of "Ideas-That-have-long-ago-worn-out-their-welcome" and press on with pragmatic solutions.

The weird thing is that GOPer's are the ones who play it most often and have to keep apologizing for using it. Some Republicans just can't shake off that Southern Strategy Spirit.

Carter is right about Gingrich's subtlety.

Problem is, he paid attention to color.
