Kurtz Takes Rush Out Of Context As 'Racist,' Politico's Roger Simon Piles On

And the media wonders why people hate the media:

Note that Roger Simon immediately leaps to the “racism” meme, arguing that — since there are few blacks in Iowa — Obama’s race didn’t prevent him from winning the caucuses, apparently on the theory that blacks only vote for blacks and whites only vote for whites. He never stops to consider the reverse argument, which was the one Rush was making, that Obama’s race is precisely what helped him in a white state like Iowa, where the voters could feel they were striking a blow for race relations by voting for Obama over Hillary Clinton.

Who’s the real racist here?
