Richard Cohen - Racist? Or *Seriously* Racist?

This one really, really needs no commentary.  From Richard Cohen's latest Washington Post op-ed (emphasis mine)

Today’s GOP is not racist, as Harry Belafonte alleged about the tea party, but it is deeply troubled — about the expansion of government, about immigration, about secularism, about the mainstreaming of what used to be the avant-garde. People with conventional views must repress a gag reflex when considering the mayor-elect of New York — a white man married to a black woman and with two biracial children. (Should I mention that Bill de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, used to be a lesbian?) This family represents the cultural changes that have enveloped parts — but not all — of America. To cultural conservatives, this doesn’t look like their country at all.

Seriously?  That line is so horrific it bears repeating

People with conventional views must repress a gag reflex when considering the mayor-elect of New York — a white man married to a black woman and with two biracial children.

That, pretty much, sez. it all - as I've mentioned before, a barf-bag is quite the useful accessory when reading anything by Richard Cohen.  Seriously, the Washington Post should be ashamed that it pays for his work...

Update:  Todd Kelly pretty sez. it all here in What's the Difference Between Richard Cohen and John Derbyshire?  As he puts it

The official score of properly dealing with offensive racists on your masthead is as follows…
The Notoriously Conservative National Review:  1The Notoriously Liberal Washington Post:  0Here’s to hoping the Post pulls its head out and ties the score soon.
