In the New Lexicon, "Skinny" and "Elitist" are Racist

Sphere: Related Content

Man, we've hit an absolute low in this election--supposedly one featuring the first post-racial candidate.

Every word is parsed by liberals and somehow--after twisting and turning and manipulating--is shown to be racist. An Obama ad with two white women is shown to be racially tinged and also have phallic symbols; in fact, phallic symbols are everywhere in ads critical of Obama. How come only Keith Olbermann and his ilk can see them, hmmm...? We have a major (white) Internet columnist going back to "Happy Days" to find an example to back his racist charge. Now that's pretzel logic to the extreme. Hey libs, even your hero is laughing at you and you're too damn caught up in the idiocy to realize what assholes you look like to the real world.

Anyway, this strategy of painting everyone as a racist will back-fire for the Obama campaign because Americans just don't take kindly to being labeled as bigoted. The libs point to the "enlightened" Europeans and say "look, no racism" and I ask, when was the last time a person of color was a serious contender in Italy, Germany, Britain, Belgium or even the untra-enlightened France? As I wrote before, this campaign may just do more to hurt race relations than a thousand Bull Connors because if you label every single thing racist than nothing is racist.

Does racism exist in America? Yes, it does but it goes both ways. Spike Lee said that he wanted to see Washington D.C. become a "chocolate city." Now imagine if, after four years of Obama (shudder) we have a major white candidates backer say "we want to see D.C. vanilla again" what the outcry would be.

John McCain has not said one racist thing the entire campaign and yet he's called racist daily. The recent downturn in polling for Obama coincides with the ridiculous Britney/Paris ad and most Americans are just scratching their heads trying to see the connection libs keep trying to make. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the "first black President" was smeared as racist as well so no one is off limits.

Exit thought: I'm really happy that Obama doesn't look like a chimp as much as George W. Bush.

Update: Well I'll be damned, I guess I really am a racist. 25 for 25 on the racism test.
