If Obama loses, the liberals will riot

Unless you're like me and love getting stickers that declare your participation in a common and should-be-required-but-isn't act.

But it does seem that liberals are continuing to do whatever they can to increase anger at America, or at least at "white America."

oh, liberals are the ones inciting hate this election? that's rich.

fail!

The article was basically about racism charges being thrown. For the record I didn't say I agreed with it, I just said it was interesting. (It seems to have interested you a bit.) I find SLOG interesting too, though I patently don't agree with it.

The US has often been called a racist society. But compared to whom? What progressive, enlightened European or any other country can show a roster of African-ancestered achievers on a par with--to throw up a few examples--Martin Luther King, Toni Morrison, Louis Armstrong, Oprah Winfrey, Herman Cain, Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Robert L. Johnson, Thurgood Marshall, Morgan Freeman, Marion Wright Edelman, Jessye Norman, Tiger Woods, Booker T. Washington, and Vernon Jordan, not to mention Mr Obama himself? To be sure, racism is part of our past, but it seems like Dr King's dream ... "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character," is as far away as ever. And it would be an offense to Dr King's memory to look at a judgment of some person--of any colour--'by the content of their character,' and then label it as racism or bigotry. I've criticised Mr Obama here, but it's never been on the basis of his skin, and never will be. I'd offer the same criticism of him no matter what colour his skin was.

Racism is an ugly charge, and peculiarly effective because it can't be disproven due to the fact that it makes an offense out of thought. Anyone charged with it, to exonerate h/hself, is tasked with proving that they DO NOT THINK something ... which of course, is impossible for anyone to prove at any time. Therefore, it's great in the political arena because there will always be people who believe it no matter at whom and under what circumstances it's levelled. This is a leftist tactic that goes back a hundred years, when Communists purged and killed each other over 'deviationism' and all the other 'isms' of the years. They always work for the same reason: you can't prove what you are or are not thinking. For that very reason, people too free with charges of racism risk simply being tuned out, and treated like the boy who cried 'Wolf!' in the story. The point of that story was not how bad he was for being mischievous; the point was that his mischief created an opportunity for the danger to become even more dangerous by desensitiing people to it by overexposure.
