One thing Barack Hussein Obama’s got going for him in the presidential race is the color of his skin. No matter how many verbal gaffes he makes, including inane inconsistencies that pop up in every speech, his ethnicity is his bargaining chip, and he pulls it out whenever he needs it.
You’ve been reading the news. BHO recently accused the McCain camp of playing the race card, then backtracked. But the backtracking didn’t matter. Putting accusations out there causes more than enough damage, even if you change your mind. It’s quite frustrating for me, as a voice in the wilderness, keenly aware of what BHO is doing and how effectively he’s doing it. Bah!
BHO’s presidency is a win-win for liberals. People weighed down with “white guilt” (Be gone, already! It’s not helping) get to feel morally superior by voting for an in-over-his-head, though very “articulate” half-black guy with a strange yet cool foreign-sounding name, and black liberals get to wallow in waves of smugness, hanging on to the hope that BHO will “do something for them” once he’s in office.
Anyway, check out Peter Kirsanow’s post at The Corner, “25 Reasons You May be a Racist.” My favorites (links added):
“1.If you think Obama’s the most liberal member of the senate you…may be a racist.
“8.If you don’t want the majority of justices on the Supreme Court to be like Stephen Breyer you…may be a racist.
“14. If you oppose racial preferences in employment, school admissions and contracting you…may be a racist.
“16. If you prefer that a president have a smidgen of executive experience you…may be a racist.
“17. If you’re appalled that Obama voted against treating infants born after an abortion attempt the same medically as other infants born alive you…may be a racist.”
Peter already mentioned the ones I’d have thought of. Can you think of more?
Update: Commenter and blogger Mark La Roi writes: “If you think your presidential candidate should prove he was born in America, you might be a racist.” Good one, dude.
