Frank Rich, you are as pathetic as is humanly possible.

Obama-hatred has been undeniable since the summer of 2008, when Sarah Palin rallied all-white mobs to the defense of the “real America.”

What?

Palin was talking skin color?

Talk about the big lie!

Who is Frank Rich?

And why does anyone care?

[cripplecreek]

I’d love to see how many articles have been written about us “racists” over the past week alone. There must be thousands.

>Wilson’s televised shout was tantamount to yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater.

No it wasn’t... heck, it wasn’t even tantamount to yelling “LIAR!!” in a crowded theater.

Have you ever asked one of these lefties who think opposition to Obama on issues is all about race why Obama had 70% or so approval ratings in February and March of this year?

It’s fun to grill them on this. To watch their reactions when you ask if they believe that people back in February just didn’t notice that he was black back then. Does the left really think conservatives are just now discovering, “Hey, wait a minute, this guy looks different than the people I know and agree with.” The whole polling numbers for approval back in February make it absurd to think that everyone who disagrees is a racist.

The libs are obsessed with Beck... Just like they were obsessed with Hannity, and Limbaugh, and Palin, and...

[sourcery]

To characterize criticism of Obama’s policies as racist is a rather vile, evil and insidious manifestation of racism: It makes race more important than the debate over the merits of policy, it assumes that the President is inferior to any of his predecessors (since he requires special protection that they did not,) and it assumes that criticism is insincere based solely on the color of the critic’s skin.

He writes that “it gives permission to crazy people”. Rich is the”crazy people”. He should be glad that we have a 1st amendment so that he can write this drivel.

Yep, twelve hours per, every day. : - D

It’s the same crazy-quilt cosmology that could be found in last weekend’s Washington protest, where the marchers variously called Obama a fascist, a communist and a socialist, likening him to Hitler, Stalin, Castro and Pol Pot. They may not know that some of these libels are mutually exclusive.

And Frank Rich may not know that Hitler, Stalin, Castro and Pol Pot were --- each and every one of them -- socialists.

Oddly, the execrable Frank Rich arrives at the same conclusion as David Brooks: It's Not About Race. And, like Brooks, he ascribes the Tea Party Movement to a "populist" motive -- even likening its leaders -- whoever they are -- to Father Caughlin (as did David Brooks).

The New York Times has evidently made an institutional decision to drop the race card...and play the "populist demagogue" card.

Now, who gets to be Father Caughlin? Is it Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck.

[alloysteel]

“Speaking truth to power” is supposed to be a cleansing, cathartic gesture, the clearing of the miasma formed when thinking is clouded or has become noxious.

Face it, Obama talks one way, and acts another, which sends a broad spectrum of mixed signals. He generates his own “white noise” while sending the very meaning of the words he utters down into some “black hole”.

The Emperor STILL has no clothes. No matter how pretty the words, it is all still lipstick on an extremely ugly visage, and becomes a parody of itself even as he speaks.

[Eagles6]

Interesting in a perverse way. The left sees it's greatest chance to "fundamentally change" our constitutional republic into a socialist state slipping away and they are getting desperate.

From their daily drumbeat of demonization of Sarah to the latest "conservatives are racist" rants by virtually all of the msm, they are throwing everything overboard in hopes of keeping the circling sharks away from the sinking Potemkin, "commander zero" still heroically at the helm, his steely eyes locked on the distant horizon of Hope and Change.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Who is Frank Rich?

[freebilly]

It’s not good for the country that a lawmaker can’t control his anger at Barack Obama. It gives permission to crazy people.

He thinks people are crazy now? Just wait until the next revolution for independence begins....

Even Glenn Beck Is Right Twice a Day

Unlike the New York Times.

For all our nation’s unfinished business on race, racism is not Obama’s biggest challenge during our unfinished Great Recession. He — and our political system — are being seriously tested by a rage that is no less real for being shouted by a demagogue from Fox and a backbencher from South Carolina.

There seems to be a little fear in Frank's voice there, no? Wasn't the party line last April that these tea party types were a fringe element, not worth paying attention to? A failing health care takeover attempt, the forced resignation of an administration communist, and the bravery of a few kids changes everything, doesn't it Frank? Not feeling so smug anymore?

I wonder if there's ever been another time time in American history like the last few weeks, where an ideology so far out of power has driven the agenda so forcefully. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing party switching from swing district dems soon.

Wilson’s televised shout was tantamount to yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater.

No it wasn't, and I can't waste time reading further.

Intellectually handicapped whiners have no place in my universe.

A fire is instantly fatal; Obama's lethality much more slowly so.
Otherwise the urgency is just as real.

It is still legal to yell fire when the theater is actually on fire --- isn't it?
