(H/T: John D)
This must be making Liberals and race-baiters’s heads explode. All their finely tuned theories of being able to make some the oppressed and some the oppressors just is going out the window. Comedian Janeane Garafalo, for instance, plain called all the TEA Partiers "straight up racists" for opposing President Obama. They just can’t seem to understand that while their world view is race based, we could care less. It isn’t his skin color, its his liberal / Progressive / socialist policies that we hate. But people like her, and Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson, and a whole phalanx of folks of that ilk cannot seem to muster the intellectual horsepower to actually muster a reasonable argument. Thus, they are reduced to "skin calling".
Problem is, it has been overused so much, they just aren’t getting the idea that, pretty much, we don’t care what they call us. They haven’t figured out yet that their "Cry Wolf" tactics have been so overplayed that it is like an abused drug therapy – the tolerance levels continue to rise to where a drug no longer can meet its purpose. So too has this tactic of the Left, as they have abused its real meaning in real life – simply disagreeing with Obama is not racist. Wishing to defeat him in the next election is not racist.
And, – it is simply politics. But race inflamed Leftists like Garafalo simply expose themselves as mindless twits as they complete a circle as effective as the OWS folks drum circles with this:
"Herman Cain is probably well liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican party. Conservative movement and tea party movement, one in the same.
"People like Karl Rove liked to keep the racism very covert. And so Herman Cain provides this great opportunity say you can say ‘Look, this is not a racist, anti-immigrant, anti-female, anti-gay movement. Look we have a black man.’"
Got you coming and going – Racist if you’re against a black man, Obama. Racist if you’re for a black man, Herman Cain.
What’s a white guy to do?
And with all due respect to Laura Ingraham*, Janeane isn’t even funny any more.
And yes, GraniteGrok has endorsed Herman Cain!
* = "Shut up and Sing"
