Down In The Pitts - Again

And to think this guy won a Pulitzer Prize a while back:

To judge from the eagerness with which they prostrate themselves before Limbaugh, the answer is troublingly simple: They fear losing the votes they have. They are unable to disenthrall themselves from that culturally intolerant, intellectually incoherent, perpetually outraged and willfully ignorant cohort of the American demographic they call their base, i.e., extreme social conservatives.

At least Pitts agrees with me that Republicans should reach out to minorities more:

As many pundits and even party officials have noted, given the dramatic cultural and demographic changes underway in this country, the GOP faces a real possibility of being reduced to a regional party of limited national relevance unless it broadens its appeal beyond angry white men living primarily in the states of the old Confederacy. That being the case, why are they kissing the ring of the angry white man who broadcasts from West Palm Beach?

Why are they not in South L.A. talking about entrepreneurship? Or in the Ninth Ward bearing proposals to encourage marriage and strengthen families? Or in Liberty City offering ideas to stem the violence? Why are they not competing for the votes they say they want?

All true, Mr. Pitts. But as you know, it takes two to tango and one biased MSM to distort the message the way you did in your column today.
