Here It Comes: Critics Of Obama Are Racist
A few days ago I commented on my radio show that the more liberal policies like government health care and the cap and trade carbon tax fail, and the more Obama’s approval ratings sink, the more the race card is going to be played. And, right on cue, Eric Kleefeld has an article up at Talking Points Memos suggesting that criticism of Obama from people like Rush Limbaugh is motivated by race.
And, again, as things get worse for the liberals on the economy and their policies we’re going to hear more and more of this.
Not that we haven’t heard a lot of this nonsense from day 1. But as Obama and his agenda remain mired in the mud, expect these claims to intensify. Because the liberals would much rather have a national debate about whether or not Obama’s critics are racist than about what his critics are actually saying.
Which is interesting, ins’t it? Given that the people who have talked the most about race, and created the most racially-centric controversy, have been Obama and the people around him.
Obama’s pastor had his conspiracy theories about “whitey.” Obama himself wrote in one of his books that “white man’s greed runs a world in need.” Sotomayor made comments about “wise Latinas” being better judges than “white men.” And, of course, Obama and his buddy Henry Gates doubled-teamed Officer Crowley in Massachusetts in jumping to conclude that his conflict with Gates was racially motivated.
So, really, who are the racists? When I hear people like Limbaugh talk I hear them say things about the deficits. About policy. About how Obama is implementing the wrong policies for this country, specifically. But I don’t hear much about Obama’s race outside of reactions to accusations of racism. And (much deserved) mocking of the left’s obsession with race in general.
