ELIMINATIONIST RHETORIC: White House Official on Cory Booker: “He’s Dead To Us.” Maybe he should cross over and become a Republican.

But wait there’s more:

Cory and Barack Obama have never been besties, but that was the final nail. It’s like, ‘You’re dead and done.’ The firing squad is out,” said a Democratic source in contact with both sides.

Remember when people were calling Sarah Palin a murderer for language far more moderate? But that stuff is no longer operative. But just imagine if Republicans were talking about a black man this way.

UPDATE: “Cory Booker is about to be reclassified as white.” Hey, they did it to George Zimmerman.
