Just another of Tinsley's "I *know* there are double standards, but rather than attempt to find an example I'll just make up something even better" hypothetical situations.

Cynthia McKinney is an embarrassing showboater, and I have no interest in defending her egomania.
It is interesting, though, that both McKinney and Tinsley want to inject race into a situation that by all objective accounts had nothing to do with race. McKinney wanted to make it an example of discrimination against blacks, and Tinsley wants to make it into an example of a double-standard that (somehow) harms whites.
Neither have anything to do with what actually happened.

I think McKinney is playing the race card. Tinsley is sarcastically pointing out his opinion that a double standard exists.
If I may:
Isn't it interesting how Nagin's racist remarks were hardly made an issue of in the media?

I'm not going to defend Nagin, but I would like to point out that there's actually a real issue that he's addressing, however clumsily. Those who want to make the Gulf Coast "less black" don't have to announce their intentions -- they simply implement the policy.

What do you mean?
The "white mayor" wasn't tarred and feathered, and she was fed to "crazed gerbils", not "ravenous hamsters". Get your shit straight.
[edit] - I see he just put "tarred and feathered" in a different pane. He *still* changed the rodent in question, though.
I do love how Tinsley frequently has to explain what he's talking about.
