Rachel is not black and Jeb is not Hispanic.

obfuscation when dealing with Rachel's?

both are generally above the law

especially when timid Democrats are in charge.

It's OK if you're a republican.

checking it in error, is not even close to the elaborate years long hoax perpetrated by Dolezal?

And no, I'm not defending bush, just engaging in logic.v

You can't see the difference?

Look, I can't stand the Bushes but checking a box of a form, (which he said was a mistake) versus living as a member of a different race for years, misleading everyone from a major university to the NAACP? Really?

"Bush Hispanic voter registration" registers 262K hits including links to CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, Reuters, USNews, Chicago Tribune, NBC, CBS....just to name a few.

Well, The Chicago Tribune mentioned the connection between Dolezal and Bush so I guess you're right.

And thatboth you and I felt obligated to add a disclaimer saying we aren't siding with bush is also absurd. i also want to admit that I have been known to check a box erroneously on a form.

I almost didn't add the disclaimer but I would have been pounced on.

Still probably will be. Lol.

before I added my disclaimer.

You really, really have to want there to be a connection to see one.

Doesn't surprise me at all...I see it all the time in here.

I hope she gets the help she appears to need.

You don't get to be president of an NAACP chapter by being a conservative white Republican, now do you?

I too hope she gets help.

He was probably filling out two forms, one for himself, one for his wife. I'd guess he checked the correct box, but on the wrong form.

How did he benefit by checking the wrong box? Dolezal got to head a chapter of NAACP, got a gig on a civic advisory group, got a job teaching African Studies at a college. So she benefits by her fraud.

I hope this jeb/hispanic nonsense doesn't become some sort of "birther" meme.
