Jim Moran to Alhurra: Republicans won the midterms because a lot of Americans are racist
hot air ^ | Allahpundit

Posted on 01/26/2011 5:51:54 PM PST by Nachum

Via the Right Scoop and Mark Tapscott of the Examiner. There’s a wrinkle here that you don’t usually find with most clips of Democrats embarrassing themselves in public — namely, a voiceover. I think Tapscott’s transcript of what Moran says is accurate (skip ahead to 3:00 for the key part) but I honestly can’t tell for sure. I’ll leave it to you guys to crank up the volume on your PCs and crowdsource it for accuracy in the comments:

“It [the Republican successes in the 2010 elections] happened for the same reason the Civil War happened in the United States. It happened because the Southern states, the slaveholding states, didn’t want to see a president who was opposed to slavery.

“In this case, I believe, a lot of people in the United States don’t want to be governed by an African-American, particularly one who is liberal, who wants to spend money and who wants to reach out to include everyone in our society….”

At the Standard, John McCormack politely notes that it’s difficult to square this reasoning with The One’s landslide win just two years before. True enough, but I’m less focused on that than on the media outlet he’s speaking to.

You’re right. We are racists.

That’s why we continue to burn through enormous amounts of money to see blacks play sports and secretly or openly wish we could be Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods.

That’s why we support and vote for Blacks to represent us in the Congress and the Senate.

Hmmmm... J.C. Watts, Allen West, Tim Scott.

Hell, we tried to recruit Condaleeza Rice a few years ago for the Presidency. Guess we would have gotten a two’fer.

We even tried to get Colin Powell to run.

We spend loads of money on actors and their films like, ...oh, Wesley Snipes, Denzel Washington, Chris Rock, James Earl Jones(what a voice), Laurence Fishburne, Let’s not forget Will Smith(happiness).

I don’t know any man who doesn’t go ga-ga over Halle Berry especially with what she wearing at the awards show two weeks ago. Smoking!

So we can vote for them to be senators and blow huge amounts of money on sports and entertainment but we are racists?

Color me shocked.

So much for civility! Democrats can use vile and incendiary rhetoric to libel, smear and defame Republicans but Republicans are not permitted to respond in kind. They are guilty of aiding and abetting Jared Loughner forever!

Yeah, I’m racist against kenyan klowns who were not born on American soil and bows down to every foreign leader he sees just to embarrass the country he hates.

Being black and a liberal has nothing to do with it.
