The Bill Clinton and Kendrick Meek fiasco runs deeper than might be thought

It is reported that this is how Kendrick Meek responded to Bill Clinton’s White House-approved entreaty that Meek quit the Florida senate race. Well, maybe not. But it certainly would have been appropriate if Meek had said this.
Kendrick Meek is a very attractive and decent senatorial candidate. He’d probably win almost any other senatorial race except for the current one in Florida where he is up against a very attractive Hispanic opponent in a state with a heavy Hispanic population.
And now Bill Clinton has asked Kendrick Meek to think about giving up what looks like a lost cause in trying to become a U.S. Senator from Florida.
Does anyone out there wonder why a candidate as attractive and decent as Kendrick Meek would be asked to bow out of the Florida senate race in favor of a chintzy, shallow flip-flopping opportunist like Charlie Crist? Is it the least bit plausible that this last-minute maneuvering comes from a sincere desire to elect the likes of former Republican Charlie Crist?
Obviously not. The only answer is that this recent scheming is prompted by a desperate desire to derail Marco Rubio. Not so much because he is a Republican. Not so much because he is a conservative. It is essentially because he is a conservative Republican Hispanic.
The election of an attractive and articulate Hispanic like Marco Rubio is something liberals find intolerable. Why? For the same reason liberals tried so hard to derail the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Black and Hispanic role models–especially attractive ones–are anathema to liberals. Blacks and Hispanics are expected by liberals to stay in their place–as loyal, reliable and unthinking knee-jerk inhabitants of the liberal plantation. And any black or Hispanic–who by the force of his ability to articulate conservative values that other blacks or Hispanics might find appealing–has to be discredited or even destroyed lest blacks or Hispanics be persuaded by him to leave the liberal reservation.
It was bad enough when liberals pulled the pathetic Anita Hill out of their swamp in their effort to destroy Clarence Thomas. Liberals have now gone to an even lower level of their swamp in seeking to sacrifice a decent candidate like Kendrick Meek and promote a meretricious opportunist like Charlie Crist–all in order to prevent an attractive conservative Republican Hispanic from gaining a position of prominence–a position of great political visibility from which too many other Hispanics might be persuaded to abandon the liberal plantation.
