Blaming Bush for the New Black Panther Scandal
Commentary ^ | July 28, 2010 | JENNIFER RUBIN

Posted on 07/27/2010 9:13:31 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Liberal Democrat Rep. Brad Sherman was embarrassed and attacked by constituents recently when he claimed no knowledge of the New Black Panther scandal. So in true liberal pol style, he’s using his own gaffe as an excuse to savage the Bush administration. Yeah, really.

On July 19, Sherman wrote Attorney General Eric Holder — sorry, liberal spin squad — to acknowledge that voter intimidation and fraud are, gosh, serious matters and that he understands that charges were dropped against all but one defendant and “downgraded against one.” He also urges Holder to “review the matter and pursue the criminal case that your department did not originally pursue.” Well, there never was a criminal case, but Sherman now has joined the legions of conservatives calling for an investigation and the refiling of charges. I guess there really is an important case.

But then Sherman takes a bizarre turn and recites a litany of cases he claims the Bush administration (Brad, blaming Bush doesn’t work; look at the polls) did not pursue. Huh? He says this all might have occurred — get this — because of “politicization.” You know, usually pols are not so pathetically obvious in their misdirection gambits.

Stupid enough to think an election is going to change anything now that the Congress has been deemed irrelevant. Its going to be a tough slog for the 112th Congress to get their balance of the power back.

Barry really hates old white people because most are smarter than younger white people.

If you criticize Obama, you're 'racist.' I don't care if Obama is green and purple -- he's still a socialist. Don't call me 'racist,' call me 'anti-socalist.'

If you oppose quotas, you're 'racist.' If you say that there are differences among groups, you're 'racist.' If you want English to be the national language, you're 'racist.' The word 'racist' has become meaningless, used only to stifle conservatives from speaking certain truths. If someone calls you a racist, they are race-baiting. They are being racist. Call them on it.

Racist means white. They call you racist if you are white, and that's all that is meant by it. Ask them why they support a third-world socialist agenda.

Tell them you are against Progressive Democrats, who continually play the race card, deliberately, with nothing but political gain in mind. Tell them you are against Anti-American Americans. But by speaking certain truths you are not going to change anything in the mind of a fool liberal, or the mainstream media or the NAACP.

They call black conservatives 'sellouts,' traitors and 'Uncle Toms'. That's because the label 'racist' is reserved for whites. All whites. If you are white, you are 'racist'. It is simply their way of saying 'the enemy' in this barely disguised war against whites. Don't act surprised at that language!

They are enemies. And this enemy is not interested in listening to logic; they're interested in spouting their propaganda. The term 'racist' is meant to silence whites and is really about wealth and power. The power to confiscate wealth. This goes far, far beyond paying a bit more in taxes. The left wants total control.

Most want entitlement, that's their idea of justice and the result of having been schooled in affirmative action ideology and the 'we wuz slaves' mentality that they will never abandon. So now we know racism is nothing more than a weapon, wielded so all the left can coordinate their attack.

It's all about controlling language and twisting the language. Democrats lie, that's what they do. Their propaganda is invalid and they know it's invalid -- that's the nature of propaganda. They won't yield to facts or reason. Leftists lie through their teeth, and then, when you respond with facts they pout and say: 'You're mean! You're intolerant! What happened to civility?'

So when Joe Wilson shouts 'You lie!' at Barack Obama, we can and should respond: 'Representative Wilson was wrong. Obama lies a lot.'

Marxism does not elevate the status of the poor; it only adds more to the ranks of the poor.

"We must feel comfortable enough with one another, and tolerant enough of each other, to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us."
                          -- Eric Holder, Wednesday, February 18, 2009

A true enough statement. We are all Americans. But I give you exibit 'A'.



President Panther speaks...

Feel comfortable now?

WAKE UP AMERICA!

If I’m a racist; then you are a child molester. If the name calling is over, can we have an intelligent conversation? If not, have a nice day.

Abortion is the ultimate child molesting. Drilling a hole in ababy’s skull and sucking the brain out certainly qualifies as child molesting.
