Keep your mouth shut when you talk about Obama
Bookworm on Sep 16 2008 at 2:53 pm | Filed under: African-Americans, Barack Obama, Race
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius accused Republicans on Tuesday of injecting race into the presidential campaign, arguing that they are using “code language” to convince Midwesterners that Democrat Barack Obama is different from them.”Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American?” Sebelius asked with sarcasm. “(Republicans) are not going to go lightly into the darkness.”
Sebelius was responding to a question from the audience at the Iowa City Public Library about the tenacity of Democrats and whether they would fight for victory as hard as Republicans in the closing weeks of the election.
She did not elaborate on her comment.
It’s another of those lovely false syllogisms emanating from the Left. This one is pretty special in that it is not only false in its construction, but also false in its premises.
Here’s how it goes: Conservatives are racists; conservatives are saying mean things (not racial things, just mean things) about Obama; Obama is black; therefore those means things are implicitly racist, regardless of whether they’re explicitly racist.
End result: any negative thing Republicans say about Obama — he’s a community organizer, his tax plan will bankrupt the US economy, his ears are big, he tried to sell Iraq and America out to Al Qaeda to win the election, he intentionally used “pig” and “lipstick” in the same sentence knowing that his acolytes would make the connection with Palin — anything like that is ipso facto racist, because any criticism of Obama is racist, because Obama is black and conservatives are racists.
Did you get that? If you didn’t, believe me, over the next 49 days you’ll have lots of chances to have that lesson in reinforced. After all, assuming that Republicans have learned their PC lesson and shy away from any hints of being (God forbid!) racists, they’ll shut up every time that slur is levied against them.
By the way, let me remind you all that I am a racist, and pretty damn proud of it too. Those words are as true today as they were when I wrote them this past June.

Too many things are off limits with Obama, which only proves that Obama is too sensitive to be president. The man-child would have to grow a pair to run a lemonade stand.
Governor Sebelius has either forgotten her Dylan Thomas, or napped through literature class: not going gently into the dark is a good thing. We’re supposed to admire those who “rage against the dying of the light.”
I don’t think I’m racist, but I’m sure beginning to think I may become so. Is there _anything_ you can say that can’t be twisted somehow into a racist comment??
I just sent in another contribution to the McCain-Palin campaign. In the box that asked me to name who referred me, I put “Sen McCaskell.”
Ellie, you are too much!!! I love it!

For those that missed this, here’s round two.

If you can’t silence your critics then cry racism.
When will they become physical?
This is all wrong:
Slavery is racism. Republicans ended racism. Therefore, Republicans aren’t racist.
However, Republicans ended slavery, slavery is racism, therefore…Democrats who oppose Republicans are racist.
It’s quite clear. Obama is a racist.
I don’t see a black man when I see B. Hussein Obama. I see a typical-half-white-man.
I wonder what his running mate sees:?
“Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden says electing a black person to the White House would be transformative.
Biden, campaigning in Charlotte, said Sunday that choosing a black candidate would be a ‘transformative event in American politics and internationally.’ ”
So, Obiden sees a “black man” when he looks at B. Hussein Obama. At least he admits his racism.
