Race-baiting liberal at the Detroit News blog accuses me of racism
It seems that my post from Monday in which I discussed my displeasure at the thought of Reps Rangel and Conyers being elevated to even higher positions of power and influence in DC if Democrats take control of the House this year rubbed some people the wrong way and in response led to accusations of racism (surprise). Libby Spencer at the Detroit News blog wrote this today:
The thought of a black man holding the President accountable for his actions, has the White Republicans in a tizzy. I mean, Bush might have to explain why he lied to get us into Iraq, and you know how those uppity folks of color are. They’ll want rich people to pay their fair share of taxes and they might even try to “boost opportunities” for women and racial minorities in government contracts and high-level jobs.” Oh the humanity. It’s apparently more than priviledged white Republicans can stand.
I wrote this in response – not sure if it will show up there but I wanted to post it here as well:
Your mischaracterization of my comments, and the comments expressed by John Hood at NRO’s the Corner speaks volumes. My objection to Conyers and Rangel being promoted to the positions discussed in the referenced Det. News article has nothing to do with the fact that they are black and everything to do with the fact that they are dishonest, hypocritical, race-baiting hypocrites.
Maybe the next time you go around falsely accusing people of racism simply because the people they don’t want to see elevated to positions of power happen to be black, you’ll do well to remember that those same *white* people strongly object to the idea of the *white* Rep. Nancy Pelosi being the House Majority Leader. Can’t blame that one on race, though, can you?
When all else fails, you guys always fall back on the race card, don’t you?
I didn’t know if the Det. News blog accepts links posted in their comments section, so for purposes of clarity, the below links to prior posts on the topic of race-baiting, Bush-hating Democrats, as well as my thoughts on the idea of having Nancy Pelosi as House Majority leader, should be useful – I hope – to those who insist on setting up strawmen rather than attack the substance of what I said directly:
On Pelosi:
- “Horror star” Nancy Pelosi?
- Dems throw red meat to the base: Pelosi pledges “probe” – but not impeachment
On Conyers:
On Rangel:
- Charlie Rangel: Moral relativist extraordinaire
- Rangel whines as he tastes his own medicine
- More nonsense from Charlie Rangel
- How to support the troops: by Charlie Rangel
On race-baiting Democrats in general:
- It’s ok to be a racist in the South – as long as you’re a black Democrat
- Race-baiting Democrats and the media’s complicity

Sister T, you have to remember that there are persons out there that will blame anything that happens to them on racism. This way they exonerate themselves of any decisions or things they have done in their life to put them exactly where they are in their life. It is easier to point their finger and blame others for their shortcomings but while they are pointing their finger, their other four fingers are pointing right back at them. Then you have the drive-by race baiters that spew their garbage and then yell “Racism” liberals use that to shut down any discussion.
I have watched Charlie Rangel on FOX News and I don’t care what color he is he is a loon how he got elected to Congress is beyond belief. He’s not far behind Cynthia McKinney for little or no use of logical thought process.
Sounds to me like this guy is really angry…but he’s not entirely sure what he’s angry at so he threw this little temper-tantrum.
Besides, ST, you should be proud to have an MSM hack target you for charges of racism. I can’t wait until they start doing the same thing to me – then I’ll know I’m on the right track.
Well said – again – ST, well said. The amazing skilz required to hold a job at whatever fish wrapper his diatribe runs in, are truly awesome. I’m glad the company that hired him, hires those with reading comprehension levels lower than a basement floor in NO. But shouldn’t they be sweeping floors for all the important peeps that pay their salary or have all the alleged “reporters” left the building.
Lamestream mediabots read into it what they want and reports what you need to hear, in spite of well, facts to the contrary. Refer to any one of many such examples, including the talentless morons, Wilson/Plame in the continuing saga of blamegate.
Jeepers! You must be more evil than we all thought! You racist, you!
Or, the Libby Spencer is just another Left/Lib mouthpiece. I’d bet on the latter!
Hey Libby,
You know how else you can “boost opportunities” for women and racial minorities in government contracts and high-level jobs.” ?
LEARN HOW TO SPELL.
It’s PRIVILEGED
Ass.
If you’re gonna be honest about trolling for favors based solely on gender and race, at least TRY to look like you’ll last a full week without being fired for incompetence.
Ass.
Just think: there are White college graduates all over the country–WHO CAN ACTUALLY SPELL–working at Starbucks for minimum wage, while you sit in your cush job and hurt your own cause with your glaring lack of skill.
Ass.
It amazes me how fast someone will call another a racists when it is convienient for them. Also I just have to ask. What exactly is this “writer” doing to help people in her community?? Writing about it??? Yippie Skippy!!! I spent 3 years of my life working with the under privledged. It was a very hard time in my life, but I did learn many things. 1 of the things I learned is most of these folks were smart enough, and were able enough to get out of their situation. If only they had some hope. Complaining about someone being a racist does not offer hope to those in need. It just cements the hopelessness around them.
Sis pay no attention to this individual. Many people in her career path are little more than paid complainers. You are doing a good work here. You have brought together many and we are learning and growing stronger. We are behind you Dear. Always – Lorica
