There's another Republican hostage scenario unfolding. The victims this time are
those who suffered through the Joplin, Missouri tornado tragedy last week and
are in desperate need of government help. Republicans have agreed to send some
aid money there way - but only if Democrats agree to go along with cuts
elsewhere. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor explained their demands on CBS'
"Face the Nation" over the weekend. Residents of Joplin are resorting to using
elephants to help clean up. In a heated exchange, TJ McCormack, Conservative
Commentator/Fox News Contributor turns the focus on race and claims that the
Obama administration won't help Joplin residents because of the "lack of people
of color."
