HuffPo: Portraying Obama with a White Woman is Racist!

Do you see anything wrong with this photo?

Yeah, me neither.  But a whole gaggle of lefties say Matt Drudge was playing the race card by posting it on The Drudge Report yesterday.

According to HuffPo commenters, Drudge was intentionally trying to ruffle the feathers of white male Republicans, but it’s the liberals at HuffPo who have shown their true colors yet again: Klan white.

Crack That Whip

John McCain made a promise on Sunday regarding his upcoming debate with Barack Obama:

We’re going to spend a lot of time and after I whip his you-know-what in this debate, we’re going to be going out 24/7.

Apparently that remark whipped the left into a frenzy over McCain’s “racist” rhetoric.  (See Kos if you have the stomach for it.)

My question: does this mean Devo won’t be performing “Whip It” at their Obama benefit concert in Akron this Friday?

Claire McCaskill is Like School in the Summertime

No class:

McCaskill was stepping out of her chair at the end of an MSNBC interview, and Romney was up next. She and a staffer unplugged her various wires, and she handed Romney the earpiece the guests use to hear the host.

“I spit on this before I put it in,” she said to Romney, with a sweet smile.

It’s a good thing Sarah Palin wasn’t following Claire McCaskill in the interview seat. God knows what would have been done to the earpiece.

Where Do Rabid Liberals Come From?

From New York’s Upper West Side, of course:

I grew up in New York and went to high school on the Upper West Side, but I don’t know if I can adequately convey how thoroughly the “progressives” in this video typify your average New York liberal. They speak passionately for the fair and humane treatment of terrorists, saving their toxic hatred for centrists and Republicans with political views that differ from their own.

If you’re thinking of moving to New York and you have kids, just remember that these are the people with teaching certificates.

The Deep Childishness of Contemporary Liberalism

A 700 billion dollar bailout looms ominously on the horizon, and Barack Obama wants to make sure he can still increase early childhood education funding? Here’s the relevant line from the first presidential debate:

The problem with a spending freeze is you’re using a hatchet where you need a scalpel. There are some programs that are very important that are under-funded. I want to increase early childhood education….

Bill Kristol’s analysis of that gem is spot on, and contains my new favorite description of liberalism (in bold):

We’re in a major financial crisis, and Barack Obama wants to increase spending in an area where there’s notoriously little evidence that spending has paid off, an area that in any case isn’t a primary responsibility of the federal government (or perhaps of any level of government). Obama’s ritualistic invocation of early childhood education as deserving ever more funding is a reminder, one might say, of the deep childishness of contemporary liberalism.

I love that line. It does a superb job of capturing what I’ve discovered as my views have moved rightward. Full acceptance of doctrinaire liberalism requires a childlike shallowness of thought, almost a suspension of disbelief.

As one’s depth of thought about politics, governance, and law increases, there arises a stunning cognitive dissonance. Those who successfully cross the expansive chasm between contemporary liberalism and reality have shed that deep childishness of liberal thought.

Unfortunately, they’re few and far between.

Pat Buchanan is Not Representative of Republicans

David Zucker and his new flick An American Carol were the focus of a post on Entertainment Weekly’s PopWatch Blog this week. Describing the movie, the blogger wrote, “Think Dickens’ holiday classic, spun by Pat Buchanan.”

Oh, is An American Carol a delightful tale of anti-Semitic bigotry sprinkled with heartwarming homophobia and uplifting fear mongering about AIDS?

Newsflash: Pat Buchanan is NOT representative of Republicans.

I’m sick of the GOP being painted by liberals as the party of bigotry, the party of Pat Buchanan and Jesse Helms. The right needs to disown Pat Buchanan and his ilk once and for all.
