Rove And The Racist Comment

Where is the RNC's outrage over Karl Rove's racism? - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth: "The Republican National Committee went wild when Howard Dean made a joke about minorities holding low-paying jobs in America (and his joke was intended to show how open the Democratic party is to minorities), but suddenly when Karl Rove makes a comment that isn't a joke at all about Mexicans working low-paying jobs (the comment was meant to demean the kind of work Mexicans do), suddenly the corporate media and the Republican party aren't making such a big fuss.

Howard Dean needed to make his mea culpa, so where is the White House's?" ...where indeed.

Rove said he didn't want his son doing menial labor, a reasonable sentiment I suppose, but the context was what flamed out. Look here.
