Calling Obama “Elistist” Is Akin To Racism

The LA Times plays the race card for Obama.

“Elitist" is another word for “arrogant,” which is another word for “uppity,” that old calumny applied to blacks who stood up for themselves.

Of course, you can’t exactly call Obama “humble” either as that, too, as racial overtones:

Of course, “humble” is another word for “subservient,” which is another word for “slavish.” I guess it’s best not to say anything about Senator Obama, but isn’t ignoring someone because he’s black something that racists do, too?

Given Obama’s stumbles and bumbles to this point, I think Barack’s disciples would just as soon everyone ignore their messiah for a while and focus on someone else.

This could be an huge opportunity for Say Anything.  Someone’s got to keep track of things you can’t say about black politicians.  We could make ourselves the headquarters for this.

Let’s see you can’t use their middle name.

You can’t refer to them as a young male.  (This one I can understand.)

Now you can’t call them elite nor can you call them humble.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

That sure sounds like Trollish chatter to me.  I am very surprised that your audience doesn’t call you out on it. 

I am shocked that they would allow this sort of ridiculous remark without criticism.  Shocked I tell you.

I hate this “implication without intent garbage”...no matter who it is. 

O recent frustration of mine was the young white anchor who said that in order to beat Tiger Woods, the other players would have to “lynch him in a back alley”.  She was ridiculed and eventually suspended by the network despite the fact that she is good friends with Woods and Woods stated that she did not mean what others were implying.  And to top it off, Tiger Woods was then berated by “Civil Rights” leaders because he was not offended by the comments.  That is just plain ridiculous.

Wasn’t “articulate” somehow designated as deragatory as well?

Don’t forget “clean"…

Obama is a clean articulate young male who is also an arrogant elitist.
