The Left has been using the “race card” like never before to defend the failed Presidency of Obama. Most recently, Morgan Freeman went on CNN (interviewed by Piers Morgan) to declare that Tea Partiers are a bunch of racists for wanting to get rid of Obama.
Virtually simultaneously, Herman Cain – a black guy, last I checked – won the Florida Republican straw poll.
So once again we’ve got Professional Leftie screaming that white people who support a black guy are racist for not supporting *his* black guy.
Gah.
There are a couple of possibilities. One obvious one is that Freeman is just locked in his own little world, one where actual facts cannot intrude. Another is that he knows he’s lying, and he’s doing so for purely political reasons. Either seems likely to me, but I lean towards the latter. The ability to be *so* closed off from reality would be startling for anyone with access to modern media. And Freeman is, after all, an award winning actor. In effect, he lies for a living. And his awards from his peers show that he’s quite good at saying things that he knows are not true.
I posted a little over two years ago that I thought that Obama’s term in office might bring about the end of racism in this country… not by making America a colorblind land of kumbaya, but by his supporters so overusing the term that it would cease to have any impact. And I think we’re well on the road. Like “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” Obama’s lackeys are so overusing race baiting that I believe – or at least I hope – most people are getting bored with their bullcrap.

This version of “the boy who cried wolf” is worth keeping in mind as an object lesson.
(Warning: Most of the other cartoons on that site are NSFW. Most of them are funny, though …)
Google “Postmodernism”. IOWs 2+2 equal 5 if my definition of social justice is served.
Republican black guy not authentic black. Republican women, not authentic women. Obama authentic black, Hillary authentic woman. You support inauthentic black do not support authentic black you racist. QED.
Check out Coulter’s new book. I’m not usually a fan, but her analysis of the logical structure of left political debate is right on and dates back to the French revolution. It’s the pyschology of the mob. It doesn’t have to make sense, it doesn’t have to be correct, in fact it’s better if it doesn’t. You just get enough people to yell “the jews burned down the Reichstag!!” and the mob animal goes on it’s way looting and burning all the appropriate enemies.
What’s really a wonder to me is how conservatives and lib cons don’t seem to get this. They keep repeating – Ha! Those silly leftists! They aren’t being logical!” The jokes on you. They know and the don’t care.
I literally just finished Demonic yesterday. I agree that it was an unusually good book for Coulter, and very well researched (I find the quality of her work to be spotty, and usually read her columns more for humor than serious political analysis).
P.S. The title seems odd, but makes sense once you start reading.
