As Twitchy reported, Gov. Haley is set to officially announce that Rep. Tim Scott will be Sen. DeMint’s replacement. Non-racists, which includes thrilled conservatives, swiftly and excitedly congratulated Rep. Scott.

Twitter users predicted that the reaction would be quite different on the racist Left; would they come out with their usual hate and sickening racial epithets?

And, of course they did. Ah, the tolerance! Once again, scratch a leftist and find a racist. Every time. First come the predictable and disgusting cries of “token.”

Cheer the token black. He joins MSteele, HCain, CThomas, AWest, & CRice. No impact on blacks voting 4 #GOP. Another HOUSE #NEGRO @theGrio — Bernie (@GuessWho002) December 10, 2012

That was in anticipation of the announcement today! And after the news broke?

@lovelyladypa…you know they are going to act like it's the greatest thing! And Scott doesn't mind being the token — Iris (@IrisMonique) December 17, 2012

And the vicious, racist hate continues.

First off Tim Scott is a joke to say the least… Uncle Ruckus — Carolina_Slim (@Carolina_Slim) December 17, 2012

@LiberalPhenom Just bcz Halley is appointing Uncle Ruckus aka Tim Scott doesnt mean GOP cares abt minorities — NoChillMood (@ritaag) December 17, 2012

He is Uncle Ruckus RT @LukeRussert: Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC) set to become the Senate's only African-American: http://t.co/XWoGaSOP — NoChillMood (@ritaag) December 17, 2012

Tim Scott or uncle ruckus?….. Sound like the same person to me. Look like Mr Charlie just picked a Tom ….,#TeamFollowBack — zug9mm (@zug9mm) December 17, 2012

Gee, courtesy of S Carolina GOP, the nation gets Tim Scott an ultra-rightwing, Tea Party devotee US Senator who's Black only in skin color — Amos Brown (@Amoswtlcindy) December 17, 2012

Not “black enough,” you see. All “those people” must think alike.

Repugnant. And so it begins, again. May the Left one day judge people on the content of their character, and not on the color of their skin.

Update: Twitter takes one of the racists to task.

@msnbcwatch Your Twitter handle explains how "openminded" you are. Go back to watching Fox News — Amos Brown (@Amoswtlcindy) December 17, 2012

@stephensheiko From what I've seen many of his beliefs holds back African-Americans. Which is a third of his state. — Amos Brown (@Amoswtlcindy) December 17, 2012

Gee. Got bunch of tweets defending Tim Scott. But none of them can tell me why Scott, new SC Senator, would be good for Black people. — Amos Brown (@Amoswtlcindy) December 17, 2012

@tonykatz If it benefits the wealthy and not relief for working class folks, then Mr. Scott's tax reforms would hold back African-Americans — Amos Brown (@Amoswtlcindy) December 17, 2012

And he ups the vile even further.

@liberatetheusa So when Sen-designate Scott does nothing to reduce gun violence in Black neighborhoods and places like Newtown you'll like — Amos Brown (@Amoswtlcindy) December 17, 2012
