Sens. Durbin & Kirk proposing the jailing of 18,000 more black men. (Sun-Times)

Thanks to Congressman Bobby Rush for using plain talk to discredit Sen. Mark Kirk's latest plan to imprison 18,000 more young black men in Chicago. Rush called it "Kirk’s ‘white boy’ gang plan."  As usual, the Sun-Times comments section is filled with racist remarks and obscenities aimed at our heroic congressman.

I call the plan racist, bordering on genocidal. Aside from Bobby, there's been a deafening silence from local pols
