Oh, there’s bigotry and racism afoot, all right
Obama bootlick and liberal propagandist EJ Dionne has some trouble with the lesson of motes and beams:
Last week’s dust-up over race between John McCain and Barack Obama was entirely disappointing. Obama spoke first about how his opponents would try to “make you scared of me,” noting that he “doesn’t look like all those other presidents” on our currency. What Obama said was true, but he made the tactical mistake of suggesting that McCain was complicit in overtly racial politics.
“What Obama said” was patently UNtrue, seeing as how the only person playing the race card to date has been Obama and his idiot lemmings. But hey, it’s true because…well, much as with Rathergate and who even knows how many other lies, doggone it, we just know it is.
Specious twaddle.
But the episode was a good example of how indirect and misleading political talk can be. Like it or not, Obama’s race is an issue, just as John F. Kennedy’s religion was an issue in 1960 — and racism runs deeper in our history than anti-Catholicism.
Obama’s race is an issue only because he and his drones so desperately want it to be that they don’t mind bringing it up themselves, then dishonestly whining about Republican bigotry, for which they have yet to provide any evidence more compelling than “it’s true because we say it is!”
Here’s a hint for ya: when you have to go to the kind of absurd lengths these frauds have to find evidence of supposed racial prejudice among your opponents, the only one likely to be truly prejudiced is…YOU.
Let’s dispose of the canard that there is something wrong with black people voting in overwhelming numbers for a black candidate. Minorities in the United States always turn out in a big way for the candidate who is breaking barriers on their behalf.
Which, of course, makes it perfectly all right, and not evidence of racism at all, unless it’s white people doing it.
More broadly, the race issue is used less overtly now than it used to be. When Democrats were the party of Jim Crow in the post-Civil War period, many in their ranks ran ugly, blatantly racist campaigns. Beginning in 1968 with Richard Nixon’s Southern strategy, Republicans have been far more subtle in playing to white reaction on race.
But of course. No one can seem to find any actual evidence of Republican racist smears against the Messiah, but that’s because they’ve gotten so good at hiding it, see. Hey, trust me, it’s there.
Empty gasbaggery, supported only by mindless prejudice and nothing more. Tell me again: who’s the bigot, now?
We’ll have a colorblind, post-racial society when liberal race-baiters like Dionne have all died off, and not before. Can you maybe tell I’m just a leeeetle bit sick of being lectured by supercilious twats like Dionne on something they so obviously have some major trouble with themselves?
Update! Forgot to put in the “absurd lengths” links I originally intended to use to illustrate the point, which they damned well do, in, uhh, spades. (Yeah, I know, I know. But half the fun of this blogging stuff is tweaking those sniffy, disdainful noses when liberals deign to look down ‘em at the rest of us.)
