You’re Racist If You Criticize Obama

If you disagree with WeeWee Obama, Janeane Garofalo calls you racist!

One useful tool from the liberal playbook is the charge of racism. Racism is America’s Original Sin. Racism is also an accusation against which it’s near impossible to defend, for how does one prove one is not racist?

One way to do that is to take The Pledge. If you haven’t already done so, check it out!

Every Critic a Racist

John Stossel – 8/24/2009  – http://blogs.abcnews.com/johnstossel/2009/08/every-critic-a-racist.html

During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama’s supporters promised that his election would allow America to “transcend race.”  Among the headlines:

The Boston Globe: “Obama shows an ability to transcend race”

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:  “Obama’s success suggests we can transcend race”

But of course that hasn’t happened. Jonah Goldberg writes:

It was Obama’s supporters who hinted, teased, promised, and prophesied that Obama would help America “transcend race.” But now, it is they who shrink from their own promised land…

From Day 1, Obama’s supporters have tirelessly cultivated the idea that anything inconvenient for the first black president just might be terribly, terribly racist.

Goldberg has plenty of examples:

For instance, actress Janeane Garofalo summed up the tea parties thusly: “This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up.”

In an ABC News story about how racist white militias are somehow connected to town-hall protests, Mark Potok of the dismayingly left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center insists Obama has “triggered fears among fairly large numbers of white people in this country that they are somehow losing their country.”

Come on. Every president eventually is criticized by the media – even one as “transcendent” as Obama. The President’s supporters should engage his critics with facts, not charges of racism.
