The GOP's Long, Hot, Racist Summer (I hope they keep this up)
The Daily Beast ^ | August 23, 2010 | Kirsten Powers

Posted on 08/23/2010 6:23:05 AM PDT by Hojczyk

First came a harsh new immigration law and calls of white racism; then we turned up the heat with an “n-word” flap and the ground zero mosque hysteria. Kirsten Powers on a season of grievance jihads.

Welcome to the summer of hate.

These dog days have brought a veritable festival of racial demagoguery, from a phony “New Black Panther” controversy to Arizona’s draconian illegal-immigrant crackdown to the most recent “ground zero mosque” hysteria.

Leave it to GOP darling Sarah Palin to turn up the heat with a bizarre defense of the hateful Dr. Laura’s “n-word” rant.

The race card is how white libs hold power over their “lessers.”

So if KKK members brandished baseball bats outside a polling place and glared at blacks attempting to enter to vote, it would be a “phony” trumped-up case?

There are no issues worth discussing any more. Just dismiss people as racists.

It never occurs to these leftist race baiters that they are offending (pissing off) the majority of Americans who are getting sht-full of being called racists.

That’s all they’ve got. And “intolerant”.

Apparently, everyone who is not American is now a “race”. I doubt that Europeans are, though. Thus leftists use the obfuscation of language and reality to attack people who disagree with them.

The summer of hate fueled by the antics of the congressional black caucus, black panthers and the naacp.

If you protest the continued joblessness and massive unemployment you’re a Racist.

If you disagree with the destruction of the health care system you are Racist.

If you think the democrats haven’t a clue on foreign policy, you’re Racist.

If you think Obama, Emmanuel and Axelrod are dismantling checks and balances in the Constitution you’re a Racist.

If you believe that enforcing control on our borders like every other country in the world does, you are a Racist.

But, Alinsky’s method only works if the target allows it and buys the label.

The best reaction to anyone pushing the meme is STFU!

Some great comments at the source. Kirsten amplifying the “victim” status for the progressive’s collectives.

Kirsten Powers is an intellectually and morally bankrupt, bottom feeding hack

That's the tactic.

Under the Left's current rules, it would be racist to resist invasion, but only if the invaders were non-white.

Logical conclusion: invasion of the United States is a civil right.

Kirsten Powers demeans herself.

Savage should not be defended. Schlessinger is an idiot (IMO).

Powers should know better and not get into political bed with the likes of Sharpton, Jackson, Shabazz, Rev. wright, etc.

I used to think she was an honest lib. No more.

The two primary defense mechanisms of liberals, and especially liberal journalists and politicians, are a phony “objectivity” and the projection of “racism”.

Both mechanism allow them avoid actual discussions on the merits of a viewpoint because on the one hand they believe they are the arbiters of what is objective reality so anything else is just a viewpoint unworthy of discussion in the face of their objective “truth”, and if the other party is a “racist” they are deemed unworthy of any consideration at all in terms of discussion or merit.

They have developed and are displaying every day the perfect defense mechanisms to avoid any possibility that they may be wrong, or simply hold a debatable viewpoint.

Be it known -

“progressives” shall be henceforth referred to by the more accurate label of “oppressives”.

They’re only calling themselves “progressive” these days because “liberal” now means Marxist.
And they were only calling themselves “liberals” because their “progressive” handle came to mean “Fascist”.

Kirsten Powers is married to an Egyptian doctor. I don’t know if he’s Muslim or Christian, but i think that fact is relevant to this debate and she doesn’t reveal that anywhere in her discussion.

I don't think there are words in the English language that can adequately describe the overwhelming stupidity of Kirsten Powers.......
