A Tackle Box Full of Race Bait:
NRO ^ | 9/18/2009 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 09/18/2009 6:05:32 PM PDT by Sneakyuser

Of all the poisonous, ugly, and intellectually vapid controversies ginned up in my lifetime, the current breakout of St. Vitus’ Dance over the “racist” opposition to Barack Obama may be the most egregious.

Al Sharpton tells CNN’s Larry King that decent and racially sensitive Americans shouldn’t let a small minority make health care into a “racial issue.”

Someone in the control room surely yelled, “Cue the laugh track!” ...

... Maureen Dowd of the New York Times hears Rep. Joe Wilson shout, “You lie!” And her instinctive response is: “Fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!”

Prejudice is a 2-way street. Whenver I hear people talk about a group (whites), I remind them that it's Sooo easy to bring up behaviors and practices of other groups that are statistically highly predictable (if you know what I mean).

When Maureen Dowd speaks I keep hearing those words at the beginning and end of her every statement. Something like "You byches".

Woman is a crude piece of work Fur Shur.

When will Obama “man up” and tell these pukes that he doesn’t take opposition to his agenda personally.

Great, great column by Jonah; it’s Mark Steyn quality.

Democrats are the party of race hate. Republicans are the party that was founded to fix it.

Fair or not, I think she accidentally channeled Jimah Carter

The specter of racism is raising its ugly head in the most unlikely places. Democratic Senator Feingold is now questioning President Obama’s (peace be upon him) Czar appointments. My question is: Would Feingold be raising these questions if the president (peace be upon him) was white

BOR was puzzled why Bill Cosby, normally a fair thinker, has thrown down the race card too.

He like every other black voted for nobama and now Cosby sees nobama getting wiped out with things way beyond his capacity (can we say Zimbabewa style gov?) and its looking very bad for the 1st black prez and Cosby probably realizes this could be the last one for many moons simple because they picked the worst one this first time.

I don't consider myself racist....and don't care if the President is black, white or purple if he's a good leader.

I may become one, however, after this latest racist crap....and with some justification, I'm sorry to say.

Jeez...this racist BS must stop. Rush asked the most pertinent question this week: Can a black man ever again be president if his race and political correctness prevents the media from a proper vetting? Great question. Martin Luther King is looking wiser and wiser every day.

I posted on this after the immaculation, hoping and praying Obama would realize the stigma he would create for any future black candidates. Wow...he F&*^ed this one up.

Now I'm wondering when Congressional dems come to their senses...before the mid-terms, or right after?

“Go balloons race cards, go race cards! Go race cards! I don't see anything happening. Go race cards! Go race cards! Go race cards! Standby confetti. Keep coming, race cards. More race cards. Bring it- race cards, race cards, race cards! We want race cards, tons of them. Bring them down. Let them all come. No confetti. No confetti yet.

“No confetti. All right, go race cards, go race cards. We need more race cards. All race cards! All race cards! Keep going! Come on, guys, lets move it. Jesus! We need more race cards. I want all race cards to go, goddammit. Go confetti. Go confetti. More confetti. I want more race cards. What's happening to the race cards? We need more race cards.

“We need all of them coming down. Go race cards- race cards? What's happening race cards? There's not enough coming down! All race cards, what the hell! There's nothing falling! What the f*** are you guys doing up there? We want more race cards coming down, more race cards. More race cards. More race cards”

Let’s see - according to dimowits, if a white disagrees with a black president, it’s racism.

Following to the next logical step:
Non-racist whites must agree with a black president.

One more step:
According to dimowits, a white person’s opinion of a president’s policy positions should be dictated by the president’s skin color - which would, of course, actually be racism.

Therefore: Carter, Sharpton, Dowd, Waters, et. al. are advocating racism.

Q.E.D.

“Some people just can’t believe a black man is president and will never accept it,” writes Dowd. She’s right. She’s one of them.

That's it, in a nutshell.

Anybody who speaks to Al Sharpton should be shunned forever; there is no reason to take that person or the forum used as anything more serious than the Jerry Springer show. To attempt to legitimize this P.O.S. as the Negro King is absurd, and in my eyes justifies ignorant whites following the most hatefule, vitriolic figures; why shouldn’t they? Whenever anyone trash-talks white extremist dirtbags around me, I remind them who’s on the other side, and then tell them we may need our own sh!tbags some day...our nuts are as legitimate as they make theirs.
