Why Liberals Think Conservatives Are Racist
The Federalist ^ | 5/2/2014 | Rachel Lu

Posted on 05/03/2014 11:37:51 AM PDT by mojito

....The Ballad of the Civil Rights Movement has long been liberals’ favorite bed-time story. Martin Luther King Day may be the only day of the year when they feel completely, unambiguously proud to be Americans. It’s hard to exaggerate how important this is to liberal political thinking. They are perpetually looking for new ways to recapture that high.

Conservatives tend to miss this because we see the Civil Rights story as settled history. We’re all pleased to have sloughed off the bigotry of our ancestors. Of course we want people to be judged “by the content of their character” and not by their skin. What’s left to debate here?

Liberals have yet to turn that page. This is their favorite series, and like every loyal fan base, they always want another sequel.....[O]ne of the most appealing things about a 2008 Senator Obama was the perception that he could be the star of a particularly thrilling new episode. Of course, if that’s the storyline, it’s no mystery which role was available for conservatives. “Racial coding” became a convenient fix for a glaring plot hole: Republican politicians’ refusal to follow their racist script.

Of course, for conservatives this is a pretty bad deal. We can’t stop being the racist party if that’s the only “role” our political enemies have available.

Call them LIEberals!

Because they LIE!

They LIE because they know that their “spin” will not work if the dumbasses know the truth.

It is necessary for the dumbasses to believe the LIEberal story line so they (LIEberals) can remain in power.

That is why LIEberals LIE!

Liberals today think MLK was a fool!!

Just ax 'em, is content of a person's character more important than their skin color in college admissions, or any admission/job for that matter?

“Rule of thumb; Liberals are exactly what they accuse others of being or doing.”

Liberals don’t really think conservatives are racist. It’s just a line that works for them. The American people abhor “racism” wherever they “think” it may exist. I thimk, and I may be wrong, the word “racism” was not coined until c. 1968.

>>Hence the many, many examples of racist hoaxing.

Does anyone know of a site that has collected these stories? This would be a very useful thing.

Nor do they actually perceive conservatives as racist, but vilify them as such falsely to push the left wing agenda.
