Look, Maxine Waters should know better and does know better,” Dershowitz said. “She knows that every experienced lawyer, white, black, Asian, Latino, knows that when you’re selecting a jury, factors like ethnicity, race, political affiliation matter. If I had said that race didn’t matter, she would have called me a racist. She throws around the term so loosely and so inappropriately, and it weakens her credibility because calling everybody a racist by calling me a racist when she calls real racists ‘racists,’ nobody is going to believe her. Would she have called Johnnie Cochran a racist when he obviously understood that the racial composition of the jury in the O.J. Simpson case mattered a great deal?”

If everyone is a racist, no one is a racist. That's what the left needs to realize when they use such words as a club to beat over the heads of their opponents. Eventually it loses its meaning and is not only ineffective but masks real problems.

It's like calling everything that happens a,"crisis." When a real crisis finally appears, people are skeptical.

When Chris Hayes and MSNBC give a platform to Maxine Waters to vilify perhaps one of the smartest and most intellectual Democrats in this country, it shows just how unhinged they've become.

He should be calling her out as being completely unfit to serve at any level of government.

Well despite Dershowitz's recent string of unbiased summations, he's still a liberal at heart and he doesn't want to overstep his bounds.

I really don't think he is though. Maybe a little bit too much optimism for a Monday morning.?

there's a reason that William Jefferson, John Lewis types don't ever get looks as a Democratic nominee for president.

Exactly! The terms "bullying" and "rape/sexual assault" are on that list as well.

If she is I will start a #writeinralphnader campaign on Twitter. I don't even know if he is still alive.

Waters or Warren get nominated then you can just kick dirt on them.
