I’m a moderate Democrat and I’m sick of the race card playing demagogues on the left. They’re never going to stop, so conservatives and Republicans need to go full throttle on the offensive. Don’t just say “Nuh uh!” when falsely accused of racism. Go on the attack and call this for what it is: racism itself, since it works on the assumptions that A. All white people are presumptively racist unless they can prove otherwise by exhibiting the “correct” political perspective, and B. That people of color are too fragile and incompetent to defend themselves against serious political arguments against them so they have to be protected from any and all criticism and criticism of them needs to be bullied into silence.

58% of whites voted for Romney this time = racism. 93% of blacks voted for Obhammud = coincidence. (Thank you, Mallard Fillmore, for that factoid.)

I have yet to see Susan Rice portrayed as a monkey. I also have yet to see Susan Rice portrayed as “Aunt Jemima.” Of course, that may be due to the fact the other “Rice” in this discussion was of a much deeper color and spoke at the Republican convention just before the vice presidential nominee gave his acceptance speech.

But we are the racists because we civilly disagree ideologically with a woman of color, that (the ideological disagreement) being exacerbated by the fact she knowingly lied five times in one day on television to national audiences but also to the senators who are expressing displeasure at her.

Yep, this is so typically racist, being couched in such coded behavior (no monkey or demeaning cartoons) and speech (objecting to the lies).

I would have included Benghazi and Sandy in the above but it would have felt like “spiking the ball” or “piling on”. Just sayin’.

[...] Sister Toldjah has a post up noting the differences with which our friends on the left have treated two different Drs Rice when it comes to being nominated for Secretary of State:2 Murdock rightly goes on to call for what we all have been for years now: For the left to STOP falsely playing the race card every time “one of their own” has been criticized, and save the criticisms, you know, for actual racism – not the phony type imagined or contrived for shameless political gain at the expense of the national discourse and, er … going forward on the issue of race in America.

Let’s look at how easily the shoe can fit the other foot:
*Obhammud gives speech in Hampton, VA in a phony black accent to gin up the hypersensitive racial (racist?) feelings of his black audience. Racism.
*He injects himself into a Hartford, CT street arrest culminating in the infamous “beer summit” featuring himself, the black professor charged with disorderly conduct, and the white cop who arrested him and whom Obhammud called “stupid”. Racism.
*He injects himself into a street-level crime in FL involving the shooting of a black youth by a licensed gun owner whom the media labelled a “white Hispanic”. Racism.
*He claims executive privilege to hinder the Fast & Furious investigation into the DOJ and black AG Holder even though a white federal agent has been killed along with a bunch of Mexicans. Racism.

Whenever Obhammud’s defenders ask if one can prove that racism is the cause, just give them the old David Axelrod snappy comeback, “Can you prove it isn’t?” You see, it does not take much effort and twisting of things to arrive at a conclusion that fits one’s own narrative. It would appear that such two-bit race baiters do not speak with a clear conscience. It brings to mind the old Archie Bunker T-shirts of the 70′s that read, “There’s a little bit of me in all of you.”

Phineas, I wouldn’t be surprised by that at all.

From the "talking points menu" look of this, I'm willing to bet another back-channel "journo-list" has been set up.
