I’ve been reading the exchange (shared on Rush Limbaugh’s website) between Barack Obama and Jon Ralston, someone who interviewed him and asked about his constantly moving position on drilling. Obama called Ralston “McCain’s proxy” in between nervous dodges of the question. This not long after bleating about being compared to brainless vixens.
I have never met a black person in my life…and I grew up in Willingboro…who acts as arrogant, elitist, and entitled as Barack Obama does.
Remember that Barack Obama is not fully black, like, say, Condoleezza Rice. He is only half black. Or, more correctly, he is black when it suits him, like when it enables him to cry racism on the part of his political opponents, or to tout his political candidacy as historic, or to cite the “black experience” as a defense of his hatemongering preacher.
Obama has probably experienced racism in his life. But I can’t off of the top of my head think of anyone who has benefited more from his race, either. He has gotten within inches of becoming the most powerful person in the world based entirely on the color of his skin.
Any black person can tell you story after story of being pulled over by the police for no reason, or being suspiciously watched in a store, or having your skin color attached to an evaluation of your character. I was friendly with a black co-worker some time ago—one of the finest, nicest people you will ever meet in your life—who shared some of those experiences with me. And it troubled me that someone so friendly had to deal with that.
The main force behind the drive to refer to Bill Clinton as the “first black president” wasn’t his supposed love of education—he didn’t come out for any improvement in our rotting—especially in urban areas—education system at any time in his presidency. It wasn’t his apologies in Africa for slavery—Africa continues slavery in many countries.
Bill Clinton was laughably hailed as understanding the black experience because he was seen as a target, a patsy for old white Republicans. Clinton helped foster this image, running to the blackest church he could find every time he was literally caught with his pants down and comparing himself to Selma.
Clinton tapped into the black experience of being wrongly accused. Except everything Clinton was accused of was true…the extramarital affairs, the sexual harassment, the pardon-selling.
Compare that to our current president. He has been called every name in the book…a liar based on weapons of mass destruction, while it has been conveniently forgotten that everyone from John Kerry to liberals’ holy United Nations was saying the same thing. Nazi. Imperialist. Warmonger. Bush is not even close to any of these things. Would liberals only have had a tenth of the disdain for Saddam.
And let’s not forget being called a moron slightly more than ten billion times by supposed journalists. According to most everyone on the left, there has never been anyone with a lower IQ occupying the White House. Is that not something blacks are perpetually tagged with? Do liberals endlessly defend affirmative action in the assumption that blacks aren’t capable of getting into college on their own?
Compare that to the treatment Barack Obama, a genuine idiot, is receiving in the mass media today. A brilliant speaker, (or the much-needed “clean” black man, according to Joe Biden, D, Delaware), a radiant, charismatic, compassionate leader. A new kind of politician.
Truthfully, Barack Obama is a mulatto, wealthy, elitist snob who, like rock stars, acts as though everyone around him should be acting like his entourage, never questioning him, never challenging him. All because he can read a teleprompter. At least most rock stars spent time learning an instrument.
When it comes to media coverage, George W. Bush understands the black experience…being wrongly accused, being constantly and unfairly hounded, being considered stupid without dispute. Obama gets one tough question and cries media partisanship. He sees one truthful ad run by his opponent and cries racism.
President Bush and most black people I know are tougher than that.

OJBama
The party of Abraham Lincoln constantly bends over backwards to avoid looking like racists. The reason for this is that it has been a favorite argument of Democrats and the mainstream media for so long to call us racists, in the absence of a worthwhile defense of the welfare state, that it is simply accepted as conventional wisdom today that conservative = racist. Such is the reason for blacks voting en masse for a political party that has enslaved them to just one acceptable way of thinking. Witness the treatment of Condoleeza Rice, who understands the black experience more than Bill Clinton ever could.
Trent Lott and Chris Dodd are good examples of the pressure Republicans face to constantly toe the line on their words, while Democrats needn’t bother with constant self-policing of their public statements. Lott suggested in 2003 that the country would have been a lot better off if Strom Thurmond had won the presidency when he ran. The media immediately jumped on the statement, pointing out that Thurmond was a segregationist at the time. The outcry was so swift and loud that Lott stepped down as the Senate majority leader after approximately eight dozen apologies to anyone who might have once met a black person.
Not a year after the Lott misadventure, Democratic senator Chris Dodd (whose other claim to fame was a waitress sandwich he made with Ted Kennedy, another Democrat hailed for his empathy to the plight of working women) made the statement that former KKK member Robert Byrd, senator from West Virginia, would have been a great president at any time in this nation’s history, presumably including during the Civil War.
Dodd’s statement was studiously ignored by the media and he suffered no punishment. He has even actually considered a presidential run.
With the media in their pocket, Democrats can continue to play the race card with impunity, knowing that they will never be held to an ideological standard in the arena of race. And already, before even August, Barack Obama has twice attempted to exploit this.
About a month before saying that the Republicans will keep reminding everyone that Obama doesn’t look like other presidents on dollar bills, Obama mythically quoted Republicans as saying “did we mention that he’s black?”
With Republicans constantly on the defensive about being called racists, especially McCain, who shows more fear of the media than he did for his captors in Vietnam, it’s hard to imagine that they would inject race into the campaign. The only person who has consistently injected race into the campaign is Barack Obama. He is the one constantly calling his candidacy historic. He is the one constantly repeating the word “change”.
While the media gets a warm feeling in their legs (which might just be pee) whenever they hear Obama speak, Americans may not be so receptive to this kind of politics. Especially the ones old enough to remember the OJ trial.
O.J. Simpson murdered his wife and her friend in a brutal butchering, and every speck of evidence in the case pointed to him. The only way to keep him from conviction was to convince the jury that he was framed like so many other black men.
Had I been part of the prosecution, I would have told the jury this: “the defendant has committed two vicious murders, and he has no alibi or defense that suggests otherwise. But now he is trying to sell you a larger fight, that you and he are part of a larger struggle, that you must do right by your race and let him walk. Do not let him get away with murder because he is reminding you of your struggles. If you do, it is the likes of him that will be associated with your race, not the likes of people who see past the color of one’s skin to do what is right.”
Today, McCain can state an almost verbatim response to Obama’s blatant use of the race card: “My opponent has no experience or qualifications, and he has no plan for the future or vision beyond “change” that suggests otherwise. But now he is trying to sell you a larger fight, that you and he are part of a larger struggle, that you must do right by your white guilt and elect him. Do not let him become the Commander in Chief because he is reminding you of your struggles. If you do, it is the likes of him that will be associated with America's racism, not the likes of people like you, who can see past the color of one’s skin to do what is right.”
Barack Obama isn’t a murderer (although he advocates it for infants who survive an attempted abortion), but he is using the same tactic O.J. Simpson used to walk on two murders to win election to the highest office in the land. He may be the only Democrat who can get me to vote for John McCain.
