...criticizing Obama is R-A-C-I-S-T!
You knew it wasn't going to last for long. The good doctah has returned to his senses and started seeing liberals for the opportunists they are. Coming on the heels of agreeing that the Birther issue is one not worth pursuing, comes a return to the theme that played throughout last year's presidential campaign...critiquing Obama is racist, especially if a white guy does it (if a black guy does it, like the good doc, then he's guilty of either not giving him a chance or a complete sellout). Borrowing a theme from conservatives about liberals' bouts with reality during the first eight years of the decade, comes their idea that conservative criticisms of Obama lie not only in racism, but because of ODS (if you have no clue about ODS, just replace the 'B' in BDS with Obama...and liberals always malign conservatives for not being original). Of course they believe the leader of the Obama Derangement Syndrome movement is none other than honorary senator, Rush Limbaugh.
Kleefeld goes on a tirade against Limbaugh for the parody, Barack the Magic Negro, based on an article in the LA Times, by a man of African descent, David Ehrenstein, who repeatedly lampooned Barack Obama on forgetting where he came from. In his first article, of the same name, Ehrenstein talks about how Barack Obama lent himself as the balm to assuage "white guilt," as Paul Shanklin's parody pointed out. His second article lampoons Obama for trying to play both sides of the fence on gay issues, by courting gospel singer, Donnie McClurkin, who claimed to be an "ex-gay," and complaining that the GLB"t" community was challenging his authenticity on gay issues. The final article went after Obama for allowing Pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration. The bottom line, Ehrenstein was making it clear that Obama is an opportunist, the same theme Republicans and Hillary Clinton voters pointed out during the primaries. Are Obamabots going call the lot of us "racists" as well?
Kleefeld, nor his friend Zandar, pointed out at least two instances where Obama has shown that he's out for "whitey." There was no mention by them about the Obama Justice Department dismissing a blatant episode of voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party, and playing the race card in Skip-gate before all the facts were known. He has offered nothing but scorn for the United States, and bends over backwards to embellish the record of other nations. This nation was founded by dead white guys, and the president believes he has to remind us they were racists, too.
Whenever the "race card" is played to shut down an argument, or cease criticism of a particular policy, the one it is played on should see the vulnerability in the other's argument. The "race card" is a distraction, and in this case, a distraction from Obama's failures as president. Democrats, namely San Fran Nan, are unpopular now as unemployment rises, and an increasing percentage of the electorate believes the government is wasting more money, and not helping the economy. The man is six months in his presidency and has very little, if anything, to show for it. And the best Obamabots have is to call us "racists"?
Liberals believe in this deluded notion that the more Republicans and conservatives go after Obama's vulnerabilities, they will alienate more members of the electorate. Oddly, this political strategy worked very well for them in 2006 and 2008. They continue to be deluded by the notion that Barack is indeed a "magic negro," who with a few words will make all our problems go away. Sometimes, I, too wish I was was dreaming...
Can the "magic negro" find the words soon? 'Cause my company is looking at layoffs if things don't get better...
Have a great day...

Kelly King: No one told me Obama's so damn clueless...
...I'm surprised it took me this long to figure it out...
Each day of the Obama presidency that passes, I feel vindicated in my belief that he was not going to be close to the post-partisan, post-racial, transparent politician elected to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Kelly King, who is a member of the Cambridge Police Department, has stated that because of Obama's demonization of the police department in Skip-gate, she will no longer support Obama, nor his friends Dr. Gates and Governor Deval Patrick. It is refreshing to hear that more and more blacks are becoming aware of reverse racism, that blacks are guilty of racism more often than their white counterparts. Many of those who played the race card, immediately felt the 911 caller did so because she felt that blacks could not live in a nice neighborhood, where Professor Gates lives. It didn't occur to President Smarter-than-Bush that once Al Sharpton got involved, that he stuck his foot deep down his throat. h/t: The Black Sphere and THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS
Conservative sage, Thomas Sowell, writes in a recent article that those who were paying attention, shouldn't be surprised at Obama's slight to the Cambridge Police Department. I have written a few posts that talk about Obama's willingness to stick it to "whitey," no matter the cost. Obama supporters weren't too concerned about his time as a "community organizer," which tends to play off the racial tendencies of blacks against whites. They weren't too concerned that his political career was launched in the home of a man and woman, who were hellbent on destroying this country. It didn't even faze them that the man sat in a church led by a black separatist for 20 years, without flinching. Well, maybe they cared, but their ultimate goal was to portray John McCain as Bush, The Third Term.
Can't blame the man for taking advantage of white guilt. Joe Biden, Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, and Hillary Clinton were being portrayed as the obstacles to a smooth and articulate black man. Their gaffes were replayed throughout the campaign trail. I believe Cynthia McKinney expressed a little jealousy that she wasn't getting as much coverage as Obama did (someone tell her it's the hair...). Obama did not come across as Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, he hid his race pimping very well, and it's admirable in a politician. But the mask is slipping, and we should continue to take note, and spare no expense...even if the media and Obamabots believe asking Obamessiah hard questions is racist.
Kevin Jackson, of the Black Sphere, believes that no matter the progress the United States has made on race relations, it is imperative that Obama, and his race-pimping allies ensure blacks still feel inferior. For those of us in the real world, we should already know how ridiculous Obama and his allies' notion is. He is proof positive of the progress the nation has made to make up for Democrats racist past. He just believes we're too stupid to notice...
Have a great day...

Henry Louis Gates Jr: I'm a black man, and don't you forget it!
...even when I show my ass...
Before he was arrested for breaking into his own house, I had heard very little about Henry Louis Gates Jr, a Harvard professor of African-American Studies (which can be misread as the "Why the White Man is the blame for the systematic failure of the minority to reach comparable status" department). I must apologize for the inner cynic in me for not believing Gates' charge of racism against the Cambridge police department. After being faced with an incessant amount of stories about race-pimping and believing that all criticism of a black man is racist, I decided to pay no mind to anything Gates had to say about the issue. I felt more vindicated when it was reported that Gates was arrested, not because he is black, but because he's a damned fool (and that proves no matter how educated you are, you can still do foolish things...).
Pam Spaulding, in typical fashion, charged the Cambridge Police Department with racism, citing Dr. S. Allen Counter, a contemporary of Gates, claiming that the same thing happened to him in 2004, when he was mistaken for a robbery suspect. Unlike Gates, Dr. Counter produced identification and was never arrested. The police were at Gates' home investigating a robbery, and Pam ponders whether a white contemporary would have been able to reach a worse conclusion than Gates, since white men have never been subject to arrest for disorderly conduct.
Attempting to diffuse the situation and make himself appear above reproach, Professor Gates released a statement, which is at odds with the police report. Gates' statement does not address the confrontation which occurred inside the home, as he's still under the impression that because he's a black man in the Obama Era, he's above the law. We can argue whether Gates' bitching about the Cambridge police man's inability to match wits with him on an SAT exam warranted a charge of disorderly conduct, but to claim his arrest was racially motivated would even make Al Sharpton blush...
I wonder if Gates' tirade gives us insight in how he conducts his lectures...
