We had John Cole and others using the N-word, rationalizing this obscenity as what Republicans "really meant to say" regarding Democratic Sen. Barack Obama. To me, this has always been the Left’s blind spot: They wave off what we literally, explicitly, are saying in their rush to adddress our ulterior motives, psychological hangups (hypermasculinity!), and secret code words.

Shorter Aldo: It’s easier, apparently for them to construct straw men than to attack the reality of the thing.

Interesting post.
The first examaple of the left’s racism and homophobia? The fact that someone said those on the right might use a racist term.
It gets worse.
The second? A video doctored by an unknown source.
The third? An comment made by an anonymous poster on a blog.
The evidence is overwhelming. |

I figure MK got pretty much totally ideologically blinded many years ago by that giant beam in her/his eye that went untreated while trying to closely examine a purported mote in the Right’s eye. Not surprising, really. Some folks are all but caricatures of stereotypes. |

Have you slept through this Wright thing?
And, how about the group of professors (weren’t there 88?) and the Duke "rape" case you were so fond of (but now are strangely quiet about)? |

I’ve been loosely following some of the dialogue going on with the Marcotte thing. It transcends parody. Take a bunch of folks who think they’re too smart by half and add politically correct Nth-level hair-splitting. Highly entertaining. Also makes a nice soup. |

Have you slept through this Wright thing?
And, how about the group of professors (weren’t there 88?) and the Duke "rape" case you were so fond of (but now are strangely quiet about)? I have stated my thoughts on Wright and racism. Again, if you believe that one or two outliers is represents the left wholesale, then that speaks more about the absence of racism on the left than its presence.
As for the Duke case, the only observation I made is that it is not uncommon for lawyers to not speak directly to their witnesses for fear of becoming a witness. That’s the only point I made. Unlike most who post here, I actually believe in the bill of rights. All of it, not just the Second Amendment and the takings clause of the 5th.
The reaction on this blog among those who post here to my comment and the case more generally speaks, of course, to the racism on the right. There are literally hundreds and thousands of examples of similar injustices perpetrated every day. For instance, there was a recent story on NPR about 19 defendants released recently in Dallas after spending many years in prison for crimes they didn’t commit. Blatant cases of prosecutorial misconduct. Systemtic.
But they were of course African American - not rich and white. So you don’t hear about those cases here. It speaks volumes that the only criminal case that people get worked up over here is the Duke case. As Holmes said, the dog that didn’t bark is perhaps the best evidence.
There is a reason why there is not one African American member of Congress from the GOP.

There is a reason why there is not one African American member of Congress from the GOP. No, just a couple Secretaries of State either of whom would make infinitely better Presidential or Vice Presidential candidates than the one being fielded by the Democrats.
Oh, I forgot...those two are Oreos...never mind. |

"For instance, there was a recent story on NPR about 19 defendants released recently in Dallas after spending many years in prison for crimes they didn’t commit." What was the political party of the DA (Henry Wade) in those cases, Mkultra? A racist Republican, right? Wrong you colossal f*ck! He was a Democrat! You are a turd, several times over.

"There is a reason why there is not one African American member of Congress from the GOP. " You’re a dipsh*t. There have been a few black GOP members of Congress, though none now. How much of that has to do with the liberal and black establishment labeling black conservatives as Uncle Toms? Who’d want to put up with such b*llsh*t when they could earn more money and satisfaction in the private sector? |
