I like: “I supported Alan Keyes in 2000. And the Illinois senate race in 2004.”
Comment by Patrick Mulligan | October 25, 2008

Mr. Mulligan:
I’ve actually used that response. The Obama-voter, a double-phuded black lady, shot back: “He’s not black! He’s so far from black, he ain’t even white!”

In the days since, I have often taken that response out of my mental portfolio, unfolded it, and scrutinized it in detail — I am certain a lady with 2 doctorates simply *must* have packed such a Zen-like statement chock-full of hidden wisdom…

Anyway, humor aside, empirical evidence suggests that Mr. Sedonaman is correct. Leftists only objective is destruction of any who oppose them, never co-existance. Whenever the horn compromise is winded, the Left sings the notes while Conservs perform the action. We are in the fight of our Constitution’s life. I hope we wake up and defend it.

“In the Pennsylvania primary, one in six white voters told exit pollsters race was a factor in his or her decision. Seventy-five percent of those people voted for Clinton. You can do the math: 12 percent of the Pennsylvania primary electorate acknowledged that it didn’t vote for Barack Obama in part because he is African-American.”

I have to wonder if most of these people who admit voting on a basis of race are voting against or for the black candidate. Weisberg never tells us this is anti-black or pro-black bias. It could, of course, be a mix of the two, but I don’t think so. He insinuates to his readers it is all of the anti-black variety. How likely is it voters (willing to participate in exit polls) are going to tell some stranger they are bigots who wouldn’t vote for a black under any conditions? I have little doubt there are many who proclaim to the world they vote for the black or female candidate, the better to let us know how correct-minded they are. How much more likely, then, these are liberal voters voting for the black candidate on the basis of race? It doesn’t stretch my credulity there are many such people who’d feel their act noble without due consideration he/she is the better choice.

This is one of those ways the stereotype of the racist white gets propagated, through twisting the innocent into the darkly abhorent. I seriously doubt there’s anything like 12% of white voters who vote against black candidates on the basis of color. I doubt the real number is more than one percent. There are such people, I know, because I’ve met them. But, I can count on two hands the number I’ve met in a lifetime going back to the last days of segregation. I’ve done the math, and it doesn’t add up to anything like Mr. Weisberg insinuates. Commonsense and experience should tell most reasoning persons: if racism were still that rampant, why don’t I have a lot more direct experience of it or why am I unable to detect it. A little can be disguised, but not any 12%. That would mean one of every 6-10 people you come in contact would be a bigot, you’d be related to one or more to within one generation, you’d be witness to racist hate-speech with some regularity, and some store-clerk or bureaucrat would pass over a client of the opposite color only to signal you with a smirk what he’d just done expecting to have your approval. Weisberg is project.

” … Cons[ervatives] keep the abortion game going” sounds suspiciously like the complaint slave-owners made against 1850s abolitionists who ‘kept the slavery question going’ or Nazis railing against those who failed to see the logic of euthanizing the unfit and drew attention to what they were doing. Like Roe, the Dred Scott decision settled the question of slavery. So, do you agree because nine men in robes decided the matter for the rest of us, that is where matters should have been left? Should abolitionists have been muzzled as troublemakers?

Re: “…much like the Cons keep the abortion game going.”

Now that’s an interesting twist on moral equivalence: infanticide and racism are equal.

Dr. Kilovolt….I like it. Pat….nobody called McCain or Palin a racist either so your argument doesn’t wash.

Goldstein is correct. Race should not be an issue at all. I do love responses 3,4,5. Nice
