Michelle Malkin blames all this talk of racism on The Obama Witch Project. Witches. Sarah Palin. Get it? So funny I forgot to laugh.
Republicans don’t need to dress up for Halloween this year. They’re scaring the pants off Barack Obama’s followers by their mere presence. Anything they say, wear, or do provokes instant cries of “RAAAAACISM!” Wink, blink, or think critical thoughts about Obama? You’re a bigot!
Actually shouts of “terrorist” and “kill him” are what’s scaring Obama supporters. That and crazy right wing lunatics with guns who aren’t afraid to use them.
But as to charges of racism, all one needs to do is read the headline of Michael Barone’s latest screed at National Review Online to see that the righties aren’t exactly playing it subtle with their racist references:
The Coming Obama Thugocracy
Thug is an old word which originated in India during the rule of the British Empire, but of late the word “thug” has an association with “Gangsta Rap” which is not exactly a secret. In other words, Barone is intentionally linking Obama supporters with scary, murderous African American gangsters. Just in case white people don’t get the message that Obama is a very dangerous guy.
So, tell me again Michelle, who’s spreading these racist memes? “That thug” and his “thug supporters,” or you and your friends? I’m all confused.
I’m still hoping for a chance encounter with Michael Barone in an elevator. That guy has offended me too many times.
Oh you’re such a thug, Booman.
<snark>
What? I just want to have a talk with him.
I suspect talking to Barone is like talking to your loud drunk friend, the one that gets nasty when you tell him he can’t drive himself home.
After listening to the McCain supporter lady saying “Obama is an Arab”, I am surprised that Malkin didn’t coin the SAND WITCH project in honor of Obama’s roots.
She’s not that clever.
I thought after O’Reilly and she had a tussle, that the wingnut welfare circuit that used to give MalKKKin her welfare checks for piss-poor articles dried up.
Our Lady of internment camps sure is sounding more desperate than ever
I think she’s lost a lot in the stock market over the past month. Not that she needs any incentive to be nasty.
But denying the wingnuts the right to collectively be racist hatemonger assholes is stifling free speech!
Actually exercising your own free speech right is a denial of wingnut free speech. Especially when you tell them they are assholes.
People are really reaching hard on this racism thing, and interestingly, in discussions and arguments among my friends, acquaintances, and colleagues, it is only whites who see the racism. Not one of the black people I know, many of whom are very outspoken about race and racism, sees it.
I was involved such a discussion last week that included some black colleagues, who agreed with me against our white colleagues that while McCain’s “that one” comment was shockingly disrespectful, it was not racist. A few of my white colleagues insist that the “terrorist” allegations are racist, even AFTER I point out that the sole “terrorist” connection is a white guy. Blacks I know do not see it that way.
Thug, racist? Well, when I think of the word thug my default mental picture is never of a person of African descent. Not that a person of African descent CAN’T be a thug, of course – that idea would be racist. :o}
