If your main desire towards something is to “fundamentally transform” it, you don’t love it.

How do they still keep getting away with this? It's a proven LIE.

Racist?

Not again.

Grow up, Jonathan Chait!


Not everything negative about Obama is racist.

Jonathan Chait, you guys have worn out the ole race card. It doesn't work anymore.

I mean, there are aspects of America that I’m sure Obama loves. College basketball. Brackets. Martha’s Vineyard in the summer. But the majority culture, the majority religion, the Constitution, everything that makes America America—all that stuff he hates with a passion.

Why am I not surprised that you have posted an article supportive of Obama? You have an unusual propensity for playing the part of the “devil’s advocate”.....of course it’s to stimulate conversation...Absolutely! Of course!

The only solution to today’s era of hyper racism, which goes both ways, is to go back to “separate but equal”.

American conservatism is historically intertwined with white racism in such a way that nearly any conservative idea could plausibly be understood as an appeal to racism

The first step in correct analysis is to set aside the lies (like above) and one's own myopic view.

One more thing:

You post an article supportive of the leftist/communist/Marxist worldview and then disappear. No comment from you after 60 posts.

Since when did Dinesh D’Souza’s theory about Obama become dismissable as racist? Chait seems to think all of D’Souza’s evidence and the sensible conclusions he draws can be hand waved away. How convenient.

I do think it’s interesting that Chait acknowledges that there are those on the left who do in fact hate America. He calls those people leftists, who are distinct from people like himself and Obama whom he calls liberals, the difference being that liberals are merely let down by America’s failure to live up to its ideals but still love it.

The problem with this is that Obama is clearly not your typical liberal. He is a leftist, if we’re going to use Chait’s categories. He has a background full of socialist and communist influences and connections, plus the whole anti-colonial thing that he would have gotten from his father, plus the alienation of spending part of his childhood in a foreign Islamic country.

All of this adds up to Obama being a leftist with a grudge against the country he leads. He conceals it behind a very deliberately constructed persona that people like Jonathan Chait find believable because they want to believe it. But the rest of us see right through it. We see the obvious smoke, and we also see the fire that Chait et al are always taking such pains to deny.

Its ok for them to presume to know Rudy's heart and mind on RACISM... But it's not ok for Rudy to know BO’s heart on love of America.

All Rudy did is deny the double standard that says they can always smear us but we cant attack them...bullsquat!

How is patriotism, one way or the other, racist?

Are they saying that blacks don’t love America therefore assuming O doesn’t is somehow lumping him in?

I’m serious, confused.

This creep of a writer writes as tho’ the only people reading his dumb material are the people who put obozo in office to begin with and therefore will fall for anything/everything he writes. Too bad our comments can’t go directly to the author of such tripe. They need a good shake up. Not everything revolves around the leftist take in this country. Throw in the word “racist” and get EVERYONE to back off. Is that the trick? Doesn’t work on us!

What kind of racism? What race is Obama? He’s 1/2 white, 1/8 black, and 3/8 Arab. Is that mixture a race? Looks like 75% white to me.

The trial of John Peter Zenger established the fact that, in America, truth is a defense to a charge of libel.

Do purveyors of the charge of “racism” believe that a true statement can be “”racist”?

Racist. OMuslim is a halfrican. He is not an African American. His Father was an arab muslim from Africa. Mummy was a who knows what white girl from Hawaii via Kansas.

Even so saying someone does not love their country is not racist. Its a made up thing that needs to be challenged loudly.

How is questioning (”attacking” in leftist parlance) a man’s ideology the same as attacking his race?
