Dictionary of racist code words

<p>

Faulty comparison. Obama’s crowds don’t need to work themselves into frenzies because they aren’t losing. There were more than a few frothing Democrats calling for Bush’s head four years ago.</p>

<p>Does everyone who yells a death threat in a passionate moment mean it? Some probably do, most certainly don’t. Is it still worrying to hear at a high-profile moment such as this one? Of course it is. But should one voice in a crowd be used as a platform for insulting the rest of the crowd? The answer is no, and this is the critical facet you’re still missing.</p>

<p>In any case at all, comparing a McCain rally where some wacko yells an obscenity or racial epithet to a KKK lynch mob is trivializing actual human tragedies. So way to go there.

</p>

<p>Completely faulty comparison. The only apt comparison would be between the Bush of 2000, who like Obama right now was not an incumbent. If people were screaming “Kill Bush!” at Kerry rallies (and they never did), it was based on the truly heinous act that was the Iraq War; it wasn’t based on his race, religion, sex, etc. </p>

<p>Give me proof of one instance where there was a consistent pattern of violent threats shouted against Bush at either Gore 2000 or Kerry 2008 rallies that went tolerated by the Democratic presidential candidates. </p>

<p>

If you can’t see it then I don’t even know how I could begin to point it out to you. Replace every instance of the word “white” in your OP with any other color, and every instance of the word “Christian” with any other religion, keep the condescending tone, and you and any other PC hypocrite would be vomitting with rage.

</p>

<p>These people ARE white, they ARE so-called Christians. And when they say “socialist” and “unpatriotic”, they sure as hell aren’t reading Milton Friedman and Thomas Jefferson to support their points. If you can’t accept that fact, then maybe you should join Teach for America or something and go to these places full of such ignorance and hatred.</p>

<p>Don’t take my word for it. Even Colin Powell says that in the upper echelons of the Republican party, there has been a deliberate attempt to associate Obama with terrorism and Islam; in other words, do everything to make people associate his dark skin colour and unfamiliar name with something dangerous and threatening to them. </p>

<p>Or what about David Gergen? He said on CNN that even seemingly innocuous terms like “arrogant” and “the one” are code-words for “uppity black guy who doesn’t know his place”. </p>

<p>Colin Powell and David Gergen. What a couple of embarrassingly leftist liberals that you need to temper with your moderating wisdom.</p>
