White Fright

Posted on 08/31/2010 6:06:26 AM PDT by chessplayer

Glenn Beck's rally was large, vague, moist, and undirected—the Waterworld of white self-pity.

Meanwhile, Leftist Whites voted for the black-half of a man’s racial identity because of their individual and collective “white guilt.”

Though I suspect that they did know that Obama is in fact a communist who shares their goals for destroying America as it has been and “fundamentally changing” it into a Soviet-style dictatorship.

The world population of whites is maybe 10 or 11 percent. Thats way too many for those with “skin of color.”

The left is desperately serving for a pejorative meme in an effort to label the conservative explosion and undermine it.

No Sale.

I don't care what you call me. You Journolists and your Marxist buddies are toast in November!

“Moist?” What kind of illiterate morons do they have to dredge up to write for left wing blogs these days (or does Slate still pretend to have a magazine or newspaper)? Whichever they are, this person wrote this after watching a VH1 comedy where they made fun of the word “moist.” Seriously, they are that simple minded on the left.

I thought it was a ‘spiritual’ revival, not specific to one faith.

The author says the ‘whites’ are afraid of an alien third world religion. LOL!

Boy is he pi$$ed off! LOL.

I think the guy missed the point and is scared poopless.

There were an order of magnitude more Blacks at Beck's rally than there were at Sharpton’s.

The press is a blatant propaganda arm of the communist politburo, ironically called “tsars”, that currently rules over us.

The heydays Soviet days of Pravda, Isvestia, and TASS, come to mind.

Christopher Hitchens is yet another wealthy white who lives in a predominantly white neighborhood,who rails against anything white,yet if left abandoned in East Louis,Compton or Anacosta would be getting his arse kicked for just being white.

Go on, Hitchens...Keep on telling your smarmy soulless 2 pound slag lies...See where they get you.

“Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?

Those were the days my friend
We thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance forever and a day
We’d live the life we choose
We’d fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days”

The other night, Olberman (don’t ask) was interviewing this punk blogger. The guy looked about 14 and used the word “like” 300 times in a 2 minute interview. Olberman interviewed him seriously as if he was just your average Newsweek hack.

We are all joined in spirituality as God's children regardless of color. But Hitchens doesn't believe in God, so we must then all be SEPARATED by our color which suits the statists. Interesting, when Spell check flagged "statists", the list of alternate words included Satanist.

“It’s not a skin color thing, it’s a class and behavior thing. Nobody wants to live around thugs, other than other thugs.”

Thank you so much for pointing that out! Pre-war Oakland was a beautiful city, rivaling San Francisco with its gingerbread houses, public transportation, plentiful public amenities. But this all changed when Henry Kaiser needed manual labor for his shipyards, and imported uneducated rural blacks from the south. After the war, these people stayed, and totally changed the character of the city.

I wish I could dig up the article written in 1948 by a professional black woman who lived in Oakland, bemoaning what had happened to her “beautiful city”. She demanded to know why Oakland was now overrun with people who were loud, rude, violent, perpetually broke, and generally anti-social. It was a heart breaking treatise, but summed up the situation perfectly.

Skin color has nothing to do with it. Education and upbringing trump race every time.

The crowd could have been 50 percent blacks, and the libs would never acknowledge it. Why? Because they believe no blacks could ever be anything but liberals. Therefore any blacks at the rally were automatically white.

Christopher Hitchens......a sad, confused, white Brit.

Surprising that he has not changed his name or skin color - just to prove his points of view.

Christ0fur Matthews is another moronic white guilter - it’s galling to think they are actually paid to project their misguided blubberings on the rest of humanity.

The word “moist” is supposed to be a word that most people don’t like or even find disgusting or offensive.

For this reason they apply this word to Glenn’s rally.

Childish.

That's the Left's chronic linguistic pathology. They always replace the accurate "anti" prefix with the fantasy "phobic" suffix.

This is their attempt to replace disdain with fear in their opponents.

They need to be reminded:

We aren't afraid of you.

We just hate you.

Not all the time. I`ve been in some very nice all/mostly all black neighborhoods. Very nice homes and lawns and well kept up. But, of course, the blacks who worked hard to get those homes are looked down upon by white liberals and “real” blacks (who live in ghettos) as being race traitors and uncle toms.

Gutfeld made a great point on Red Eye last night: The bigotry charge is indefensible, and a completely cowardly tactic to use in an argument. Why are there no cries of racism at a Bon Jovi concert, which has a similar dearth in minority attendees?

The left doesnt give a damn about minorities, it just uses accusations of racism as a weapon at every opportunity. The left uses a variety of causes (racism, feminism, environmentalism, gayism, etc) to attack fundamental American values. They may seem separate, but they are all part of the same toolbox with the same underlying goal. That’s why whenever their cause conflicts with the underlying goal, the cause takes a back seat. A good example is feminists and Bill KKKlinton.

The ones who are moist are the liberals. They may have gotten all wee weed up on just how mad people are with the socialist/communist agenda. They are scared that their labeling people as racists is not working. The people at the GB rally were from all walks of life and as Americans are distraught at the way their nation is currently being destroyed. In November, god willing, the ship will start to take a new direction.

It puts me in mind of Michael Moore decrying Capitalism.

“(It's) done nothing for me!” as he counts his $50 million and demands more of the filthy *spits* ewwww! money that he hates so much.

“Ta ta, I have to drive to my incredible mansion in my walled community. DO be a good man and drive my Porsche back to the lodge will you? If you wreck it along the way, no matter, I have 12 more and they're cheap!”

“Chop, chop, and don't forget to purchase some pre-ripped jeans and a tattered baseball cap so that I can appear to be a “regular joe.”

Finally, the Moistheads are realizing that answering “racist” to each and every argument is getting old even to the unwashed masses.

They got so wee-wee’d up that it is THEIR heads that have become moist.

Why do we have to dredge up photos of cute black kids at Tea Parties, black speakers, etc., just to prove we’re not racist? To HELL with those who call us racist! They are the ones who are engaging in anti-white hatred. Any group, event, organization, etc., that happens to be majority white is now considered evil. And whites can be blasted like no other group can be blasted.

Maybe the left should just keep it up. Every article like this only wakes up more sleeping whites.

You gotta remember that the black "leaders" and/or the black community have no idea that MLK was a Republican.

If they knew that, they would have also known that it was the Republicans who passed the Civil Rights Bill in Congress against a solid Democrapic opposition.

President LBJ thanked the Republicans and gave them credit although he had filibustered the same bill when he was a Senate Majority Leader.

As important as this was, it is not known or taught in schools (yeah, right) and therefore, Blacks are held hostages by plantation politics.

“Very interesting article related to what you posted.”

Thanks for passing that along, it was interesting, indeed. Seems to be written with an agenda, however, with carefully culled and cited data points, squarely placing the blame on those racist, violent whites.

There’s no denying that racism was rampant in the first half of the 20th century, and practices like red-lining were designed to keep black neighborhoods from expanding.

However, as a society we’ve bent over backwards since the Civil Rights Act of the 60s to encourage integration on a massive scale, to the point of implementing such recent disasters such as the Community Reinvestment Act which has done its part in tanking the nations entire housing market!

The bottom line is that funky neighborhoods don’t beget funky people, funky people beget funky neighborhoods, IMHO. Unfortunately, there are way too many examples of this to offer up as proof.

I live in a racially mixed little development with more blacks than whites and some hispanics. It is very middle class and we don’t have any problems that I have seen. It’s the content of character, not the color of skin.
