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?
Here is what Rove just said about the immigration debate :
“I don’t want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas.”And here is how the Republicans reacted when Dean made his joke.
RNC Chief: Dean Joke Was 'Racist'
Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman blasted newly elected DNC chief Howard Dean on Tuesday for telling what he said was a "racist" joke to the Congressional Black Caucus.
"It's pretty offensive," Mehlman told ABC Radio host Sean Hannity. "It's pretty racist, if you ask me."
During a meeting with the CBC on Friday, Dean joked: "You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room? Only if they had the hotel staff in here."
