Barbara Boxer said and did nothing wrong. She merely pointed out that other groups within the black community supported the resolution, that he was opposed too. Unfortunately the Black Chamber of Commerce CEO does not speak for all blacks and Boxer just pointed that out. The CEO was in the wrong, way in the wrong.

I don't understand the background, but based only on this four minutes, here is a black guy who's looking for people to be racist so that he can make that the bigger issue. Nobody can deny that here. Maybe she was, I'm not sure, but he reminds me of al sharpton/jesse jackson, looking for racism in everything.

Just a few minutes before Inhofe brought up the NAACP, quoting them that seemed to back Alford and Alford was all in agreement. Boxer, then introduced an NAACP comment that seemed to not support Alford. He goes ballistic. He was rather hostile toward her the whole time, which probably contributed to his reaction(meaning-I don't think he planned it, I just think he was expecting to be attacked at some point and misinterpreted her comments there).
