I'm joining you in crazyville. When I saw how many comments there on her article, I figured there would be quite a number levying criticism upon her. Wrong. There was veritable unanimous support of her "bravery." I'm dumbstruck. I don't doubt for one second that there are some racists among those who oppose President Obama's policies, but to read her article and the comments, you'd think that this is a hidden GOP platform plank.
In the spirit of Birthers and Truthers, I dub these folks, "Racers."
Where do you see the argument that disagreement in of itself = racism? I see shocking and vitriolic disrespect, the likes of which we've not seen elsewhere = racism, and argument to be considered and agreed with or disagreed with. But, no, I don't see disagreement = racism.
"But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!" Really? Perhaps she should have stuck with the thorazine.
CW, you must be the last human being not residing on the Upper East Side who still reads this harpy. She can't scoop anything anymore simply because she's too old to engage in her kind of journalism; you know, trade hummers for information. So now she just prints rubbish. Like here, she sets up a straw man as an excuse to trash Wilson. Of course it's just obvious Wilson is a neanderthal genocidal racist from the sticks who's daughter is his step-grandmother. He's blatantly slandering our urbane, sophisticated and erudite President in the most heinous way. Plus did I mention, he's a RACIST!
This old battle ax is about a relevant as Helen Thomas just not as good looking. So I say, SCREW HER, and join the thousand man march.
I was a bigot, I hated Catholics. I figured if you couldn't play country music or annoy deadly reptiles in church, hell what's the use in going? Then I married a Catholic. I don't drink shine anymore, now I drink Jameson. I have grown.
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

With apologies to Samuel Johnson.
The cry of racist or racism is often the last refuge of scoundrels who do not wish to be faced with the truth.
Robert--Smooth--there's no charge of racism in Maureen Dowd's words. Move along.

With Friends Like Maureen Dowd, Obama Doesn’t Need Enemies
By making excuses for his missteps and slandering his opponents as racists, the president's cheerleaders don't help him; they hurt him.

Then Kayne must be racist.
More evidence of craziness.

Does this mean that the 16% who voted for him, but no longer support him were actually racists but forgot they were racisits when they voted for him?
Good grief.
