Big difference between "OMG he's BLACK? I'm not gonna watch that!" and what he said.
Please don't rock the boat. I'm saying this gently.

Except he wasn't POTUS, he stopped watching because a black man was running in the presidential primaries. But since your asking nicely, this is the last I will talk about this.

I actually implied through what I said that I stopped watching because of the Hollywood Liberal tendency for the producers to interject their political agendas through the plot lines of their series. We saw the same thing with "The West Wing" where they, not surprising chose to have the Democrat Sanchez win in the finale. It's the same thing where they had the black guy in "24" as the virtuous Democrat. It's that sort of liberal pandering that makes me roll my eyes, not the fact that he was black per se. I mean, it would've been refreshing to have a black Colin Powell type character win the Presidency as a Republican an save our nation from terrorists...but alas, the Hollywood liberals would never put forth such a notion. Some of these programs have become propaganda venues for the Democratic Party/
Boston Legal is yet another good example of what I am talking about. Denny Crane is the psychopathic Republican wacko and Alan Shore is the virtous level headed liberal trying to help Denny with his non-existent humanitanity. ::)

Don't forget to factor in the hypersensitivity to the concept of him being President... so sensitive that he didn't notice the guy wasn't even President, after having supposedly watched 4-5 hours of the show. He gave up on it because a black man might be President.

That's ludicrous. I've already explained myself on this if you care to read a post or two back.
ChadTower:
Would be a plausible explanation if David Palmer were an overt liberal democrat. His social policies were barely even mentioned on the show, and wouldn't matter anyway, seeing as how he was only a Senator. Your short circuit assumptions about the character and the show are not borne out by the character or the story.
