the Box of Rocks 1 – Gov Blagojevich 0

The Chicago Sun Times reports here that Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) IL. will resist pressure to remove the Nation of Islam’s (NOI) Minister of Protocol from the state’s Commission on Discrimination and Hate Crimes. Last week I wrote on this subject here and tried to explain why a minister from NOI should not be considered for an appointment to a governmental body. A simple rule of thumb should be: if a person ministers in a religion that preaches that one race is the invention of another race's evil scientist, then that person should not be considered for non-elective public office. Is Blagojevich so desperate for black votes that he would pander to religious crackpots?
