Thumper the Rabbit’s parents always taught him, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.” If the Left’s self-appointed Omniscient Diviners of True Meaning have their way, conservatives in the public square won’t be left with anything at all to say. Ever.
It’s a treacherous business exercising your freedom of speech in the age of Obama. As a public service, I present to you: “The 2012 Condensed Liberal Handbook of Racial Code Words.” Decoder rings, activate!
— Angry. On the campaign trail this summer, President Obama has become — in the words of the mainstream Associated Press — more “aggressive.” But don’t you dare call him “angry.” According to MSNBC host Touré, that’s racist!
“You notice he said ‘anger’ twice,” Touré fumed in response to a speech last week by GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney. “He’s really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man.” Or maybe Romney is just accurately describing the singular temperament of the growling, finger-jabbing, failure-plagued demagogue-in-chief. It’s about the past four years, not 400 years. Sheesh.

Freud called this “projection.”
The ole race card worked against both Hillary Clinton and John McCain in 2008.
That is about all the Lefties/MSM/Dems have for 2012.
They can’t run on Obama’s record.
They have been claiming just about everything the Republicans say or do as somehow being racist — in hopes that something will stick.
They are desperate.
People are so sick of it that at this point it is hurting Obama
The supposedly racist code words to avoid include: “angry,” “Chicago,” “Constitution,” “Experienced,” “Food Stamp President,” “Golf,” “Holding down the fort,” “Kitchen Cabinet,” “ObamaCare,” “Professor,” and “You People.” I think she also forgot “Welfare.”
Give Tingles and his network a bit more time and they will declare the. and. rain. fall and even the word election to be code words.
Have any of you noticed that the left never has code words that their own people should be barred from saying? I know that certain words have fallen into disfavor and been replaced by other words (liberal became progressive, colored became black became afro-American became African-American) but those were all done strategically from within their ranks.
I’d love for Priebus or any other Republican to ask Matthews or one of the usual lefty tools to enumerate the “unspeakable” words of both the left and the right and then ask “is that all? Are all the other words and phrases fair game to use?” Really put them on the spot and show how ludicrous they are.
is no one going to post the black kid screaming ? I would think that would have been the first post in
It’s racist that the Republicans even dared to run somebody to oppose Obama.
“You notice he said ‘anger’ twice,” Touré”
I generally have a hard time taking anyone who goes by one name very seriously.
I expect to see Chris (foaming at the mouth crazy) Matthews claiming that Mitt Romney chased little Liza across the ice with his dogs baying all the way.
