After years of supporting her racist father, Liz Cheney is finally calling out racism where she sees it -- in the words of Harry Reid. Liz Cheney insists that Reid's comments about Obama were racist because they involved "I mean, talking about the color of the president's skin..." I think we can all agree that talking about skin color is racist, which is why affirmative action is so wrong and racist. Duh!

Why should we care what Liz Cheney has to say on the issue, you ask? Liz Cheney is a trusted source when it comes to identifying racism, having been raised by a highly racist father. She has really honed her Racism-dar. Now that Liz is using her voice to speak truth to racist power I can't wait to hear what she says about her father's racism, which includes great hits like

* His 1986 vote against a congressional resolution to free Nelson Mandela from prison

* His 1986 vote against sanctions on South Africa's apartheid government

This is so mindboggling it defies commentary. Up until the 1st of July of 2008, Nelson Mandela was considered a terrorist by the United States.

Bush Removes Nelson Mandela from Terror Watch List
By VOA News
01 July 2008

U.S. President George Bush Tuesday signed a bill that allows Nelson Mandela to enter the United States without special clearance.

The measure officially removes Mr. Mandela and his African National Congress from a U.S. terror watch list.

The former South African president may now visit the United States without the U.S. secretary of state having to certify that he is not a terrorist.

Mr. Mandela was placed on the list because of his work with the African National Congress (ANC), which fought to end white minority rule in South Africa.

Mr. Mandela spent 27 years in prison for his work with the ANC to fight apartheid rule in South Africa.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner turns 90 on July 18.
