LOS ANGELES TIMES: It's not enough to be colorblind.

Here's what one of PowerLine's readers had to say:
Listen up!

Every one of you arrogant, self-important, entitled, over-rated jerks should get down on your knees every day and thank your lucky stars for the position of privilege you hold. Yes, privilege. It’s not a right. For every one of you a**holes there are at least a hundred more than qualified replacements of every race, creed, ethnicity and sexual orientation who would kill to have the opportunity you enjoy. You all can be replaced in a heartbeat with equally, if not more, qualified staff who would also have an attitude of gratitude for the opportunity.

So here’s the bottom line. If you don’t like it here, there is the door. We’ll be sad to see you go because we chose you for these positions of privilege. And we did so on the basis of hiring the best we could–irrespective of race, etc. We intend to continue doing so. We are not trying to nor will we have “goals,” “timetables” or any other double talk equating to set asides for government sponsored minorities. We value excellence and that’s what we recruit for.

If you don’t like it and have a bad attitude then get out now ... and don’t let the door slam your ass on the way out.

Any questions?
Competence is no longer a hiring criterion; crazy is....
