Joy-less Behar?

Neo-cons cover your eyes and ears. Or rather, OPEN THEM. Today, Joy Behar, of The View, commented about how republican presidential candidates conveniently have other engagements when invited to participate in debates focused on hispanic/latin and black issues. Specifically she joked that they must all be attending "Klan" meetings. I think it was a funny quip.
However, WABC Radio Talk Show Host, Curtis Sliwa had a different opinion. Here's what he said on Fox News's Hannity & Colmes:

SLIWA: Let me tell you — excuse me. She was an Italian-American princess, a limousine liberal who lives on the Left bank of the liberal progressive area of Manhattan where there are no black people.

COLMES: What does that have to do with this? What does this have to do with this?

SLIWA: And the neighborhood she grew up in, Alan — this is important.

COLMES: You're way off topic.

SLIWA: They used to run blacks out of the neighborhood with baseball bats!

He had nothing substantive to counter Behar's comment. It just goes to show you that Neo-cons are concerned with restricting personal liberties, seemingly counter to the pre-Reagan republican ideals. Hmm.

Besides the silly uproar, I do question the need for separate hispanic and black debates, but that may be my idealism that politicians should be able to communicate with and care about everyone equally. How could I ever think or want that? Haha.
