Channeling Bob Herbert
Overheard on MSNBC right now: “They want change, they want hope, they want a nude erection.”
Is it really true to say that what makes Obama’s candidacy “historic” in the minds of his supporters is not also what they believe to be what qualifies him for the task of the Presidency? One cannot believe both together and not be —literally— a racist. Surely, by even their own dim lights, there must be aspects of Obama’s character or campaign that the liberal Left concedes are rightly subject to criticism. He cannot be exempt unless his supporters are saying that he has papal-like infallibility.
Don’t doubt that he has such supporters. Unapologetically race-minded advocates who dare call a racist anyone who opposes their man. What drones. What scabrous scrapings of men and foolish women.
No more race martyrs. Just promote the American Way and all will be forgiven.
