Kass's 'President's Trayvon speech is the work of a maestro' column is itself the work of a maestro

Rush Limbaugh used Trayvon Martin trial testimony to utter the the N word on his radio show, substituting and "a" for "r' at the end. Sean Hannity, commenting on President Obama's highly personal reaction to the not guilty aftermath in the black community, likened Obama to a drug smoking gang banger when Obama said he "could have been Trayvon 35 years ago". Such comments were so mean spirited, hideous in fact, that they have no influence outside of the hate filled true believers who pour millions of dollars into Limbaugh's and Hannity's bank accounts.

But when it comes to dismissing and trivializing the enormous racial implications of the Martin killing to all Americans, especially black youth and their parents faced with the enormous burden of what to teach their male children to avoid ending up like Martin, Limbaugh and Hannity need to read Kass's take on Obama's inspiring remarks in Sunday's Trib. Kass accomplished the same thing without the vitriol and the N word and the obvious hate that Limbaugh and Hannity are incapable of avoiding. In so doing, they will get a lesson from the maestro
