And exactly how many non-white folks does the Kerry/Edwards campaign employ?

The DNC attracts a large number of non-white voters while managing to generally exclude the non-white folks from the "power base."

The DNC is not as "Diverse" as they like to believe they are.

Even Err America, the liberal radio station, has a total of two "non-white" personalities and those two share err time with two white folks each on their shows.

The liberal "non-white" charge against the RNC baffles me when one considers that two of the most powerful cabinet positions are held by "non-white" people.

Did the monkeys run out of valid and legitimate points of contention?

So you've been watching the convention then? Please make the distiction between Republican National Convention* and the Republican National Committee.

*point of post.

I didn't miss the point of the post. The point of the rebuttal was to highlight yet another oxymoron of the Democratic party. They claim to be the party of color yet their upper ranks and inner circles are predominantly colorless (unless of course you count suntanned as a color). If the RNCommittee is not professing to be the party of color then one cannot really comment on the lack of color at the RNConvention.

1. This isn't the DCCC or DNC making this statement.
2. It's not about the leadership.
3. The reference is regarding the delegation and how it appears to not represent a cross-section of the population.
4. Pay close attention to the manner in which the cameras pan the delegates on the floor.

a sense of humor & irony is required here.
