Delicious irony that this post --which ridiculously ascribes "racist" motivation to a post here at FiredUp Missouri-- comes just a few posts after this one, in which the same blogger refers to Rev. Emanuel Cleaver as an "Uncle Tom." Self-awareness certainly is in short supply these days, huh?

He would appear to be a very angry young man.
Apparently he hates Tony Messenger. He uses racist terminology that I would never apply to him or anyone else. And he is clearly very young because he seems to think that a masters degree mysteriously endows the recipient with spelling, grammar, and writing skills. It doesn't.
The sentence he appears to be so angry about is awkward and unclear in meaning. When I went to the original site, which shall not be named, I found that whoever wrote the article's title inserted a comma which Tina forgot to include.
And just for young Osi. The rest of what Tina wrote is equally unintelligible. ...She really went to a private school? That sort of destroys the private schools are better than public schools argument.
I think she should have written "the" instead of "that", "which" instead of the second "that" (several centuries ago my grade school grammar teacher told me to avoid using "that" whenever possible). Her last sentence comes close to being a run-on. I would probably have broken it into two sentences and changed the new last sentence quite a bit for the sake of clarity. I think she overindulges in hyperbole in a mistaken attempt to add emphasis and in the process obscures her meaning and intent.
She really is the communication director? I hope she's better at speaking than she is at writing.
