[...] opportunity to bludgeon the unsuspecting into supporting its position, legitimate or not. Much like critizing Pres. Obama is labeled racist, many label critizing Israel or Israelis as anti-semitic. So, if we agree, everything's fine. [...]

Criticism of Obama is no more racist than criticism of Bush was treasonous.

Sedona: Converting to liberalism has its advantages! Accountability, consistency, rationality are for the little people, much like Victorian morality. It's why the O-man can vilify drug companies during the campaign, and cut deals with them once elected to protect them from health care reform. Is this a great country, or what?

Of course, this is one reason why Phil Jackson became a liberal Democrat: to be able to say, "Anyone who disagrees with me is evil." [Read: evil racist.]

I believe that the problem with the likes of Garofalo, Matthews, Krugman and Lupica is one of unsophisticated, or better yet, immature political insight. It's as if they believe that the 59,934,814 people who voted for John McCain had only one duty; and that duty was to shut up and watch as the democratic majority jerks the country radically to the left.

It's as if they thought that the country now only included the 69,456,897 persons who voted for the 'winning team'. The more I look at this, the more I come to believe it. What other explanation could there be for both Barack Obama and his Press Secretary Robert Gibbs saying words to the effect that "a referendum was carried out in November, we won." Winning is one thing; you must still govern as everybody's President.

This "we won, you lost, get over it" attitude permeates the left. You only have to look at the legislation being offered and compare that legislation to its popularity among the people. Almost no one believes in the stimulus anymore. No one was in favor of TARP, with the exception of the CEOs' whose bacon was pulled from the fire by the program. The only persons pleased with the takeover at GM was the AFL/CIO. There is nothing but suspicion regarding cap & trade: And literally everyone in the country has some doubt about universal health care. But these self-appointed political 'experts' are certain that the only reason there is resistance to these programs is blatant racism. Why were there no cries of 'racism' when Condoleezza Rice was depicted in cartoons as a parrot sitting on President Bush's shoulder, squawking platitudes about the War on Terror?

Their accusations of racism would be more seriously considered if they were leveled in all cases
