New Phony Racism Charge From The Left
Not a week goes by without the far-left leveling a fresh racism charge against anyone who opposes their odious policies.
The newest cry of phony racism comes from the left-wing gangsters at the AFL-CIO — and their target is the US Chamber of Commerce.
The AFL-CIO has declared a new anti-ObamaCare ad from The Chamber is…wait for it…RACIST!!!! If they don’t like it, that means it’s racist.
The Huffington Post is of course all over it:
A new Chamber of Commerce ad attacking Democratic-led efforts to pass health care legislation includes a storyline that union critics of the group say is rife with racial undertones.
In the new spot, titled “Millions,” the business lobby goes after health reform by arguing that it could “wipe out even more jobs” than those lost so far. But the group does so in a peculiar and perhaps controversial way.
The scenario of a distraught boss forced to fire an employee is illustrated by a white worker being summoned to the office as a black co-worker looks on.
An official with the AFL-CIO, who saw the ad air on Wednesday morning, argued that it was a perpetuation of the stereotype that minorities have a leg up on their colleagues because of affirmative-action policies. It gets at the heart of concerns raised by labor leaders like the AFL-CIO’s president, Richard Trumka, who fretted during the 2008 presidential campaign that Barack Obama’s candidacy would spur racial unrest within work forces.
“This is the same old right wing dog whistle politics,” said Eddie Vale, spokesman for the AFL-CIO. “They’re trying to use race and class to scare working people about a health care bill.”
The Chamber scoffed at the charge. “Really?” emailed spokesman Eric Wohlschlegel, in a succinct and dismissed response.
Here’s the incredibly offensive ad:
As Michelle Malkin rightly points out, had a white employer fired a black worker in the ad, big labor would have cried racism. If the ad had no blacks in it at all — that too would have been called racist.
Truly amazing.

Video: Jimmy Carter Lies About His Race Comments
Remember when Jimmy Carter went on MSLSD MSNBC and said the overwhelming majority of protests against Obama were because he was a black man? I sure as hell do, because it just happened a couple of weeks ago.
Now, the former peanut farmer tells CNN he never said that. Carter claims he said the “fringe element” were racist — not the majority.
Let’s look at the tape and see if Jimmy is being honest…

I didn’t hear anything about “fringe elements”, did you?
Now, listen to what Jimmy told CNN about the comments you just watched…
The old man is not only a fool — he’s a liar. I can’t believe she didn’t challenge him on what he said. She should have read the transcripts back or played the clip.

Newsweek’s Howard Fineman Is A Racist
Howard Fineman’s latest piece in Newsweek is nothing short of shocking. He thinks President Obama should take a break from TV stardom and actually get some part of his agenda passed. He even implies the President may be just an empty suit!
As sad as it makes me to say it, there can only be one reason for such criticism — Howard Fineman hates black people.
Attack Of The Race Hustlers
Jonah Goldberg has a fantastic piece up at NRO about the left’s phony race baiting over health care and everything in between. For a less cool-headed take on the subject you can read what I wrote after Maxine Waters said tea party protesters should be investigated for racist views.

Joe Klein Is The Dumbest Man In America
You have to read Joe Klein’s latest piece on Swampland. It’s so ridiculous you can’t believe it’s actually real. Klein is exactly the kind of asshole everyone outside of Manhattan loathes.
The tone and substance of the piece is liberal elitism at its finest. Everyone in middle America should print it out and save it. Klein expresses perfectly the utter contempt liberals like him have for average Americans.

Audio: Maxine Waters Says Reporters Must Probe ‘Birthers’ And ‘Teabaggers’ For Racist Views
Blah, blah, blah, racist, blah, blah, racist. Someone needs to throw this race baiting bitch out of office. I don’t really give a damn if radical blacks in Congress or an incompetent failed president like Carter call me a racist.
That charge is thrown at us by the left so many times a day, it barely gets an eye roll anymore. What a shock that the word “ObamaCare” is now racist. EVERYTHING is racist. The term “socialist” was labeled racist a couple of weeks ago by radical blacks. Let’s also not forget Joe Wilson’s outburst of “you lie” has also been labeled racist.
This phony racism campaign is nothing but the last desperate gasp of a dying liberal agenda. Obama pretends to be above the fray at all times, but he’s as guilty as the rest of the losers in his party for this race crap.
President Obama never plays the race card himself, (unless his friends get arrested) he sends his minions out to shovel the shit for him.
The only people in America who won’t stop talking about race are democrats. Democrats profess to be the champions of minorities and inner city blacks when in reality they’re nothing but 21st century slave owners.
The left keep their boot heels firmly planted on the neck of every single person living in the inner city. Every single thing liberals do for the poor and downtrodden is designed to keep them poor and downtrodden.
If inner city blacks were to become educated and improve their socio-economic position the left wouldn’t have a constituency anymore. Liberals are in the business of keeping the poor right where they are.
They fight tooth and nail to keep poor black kids stuck in gang infested, drug-filled hell holes they call schools rather than allow them to attend a private school for free through a school voucher program.
Every ghetto in America is a solid 100% democratic district and they’re all disaster areas and in most cases war zones. The millions of Americans trapped in those hell holes need to take a look around and ask themselves who the real racists are.

Harvard Professor To Gates: You’re The Racial Profiler
Harvard Professor Ruth Wisse isn’t buying the Gates narrative that he was racially profiled by the Cambridge Police. She rips into him beautifully in the Harvard Crimson.
Here’s a little taste:
…But thereafter your case becomes disturbing, and while the president’s unwise comments turned a local episode into a national referendum, it’s the local issue that troubles me. Like you, I live in Cambridge, commonly known as the "People’s Republic of Cambridge" for its left-leaning political correctness. Our congressional district has not sent a Republican to Washington since 1955. Not surprisingly, the officers who came to your door—a rainbow of black, Hispanic, and white—were led by a man hand-picked to provide training on the avoidance of bias in policing. To accuse the Cambridge police of racial profiling, as you did, is about as credible as charging Barack Obama with favoring Republicans.
What puzzles me most in the report of your actions—or reactions—on July 16 is why you would have chosen, as I’ve heard you put it elsewhere, to "talk Black" to Officer Crowley instead of "talking White" as you so eloquently and regularly do? These are distinctions I’ve heard you expound—how educated African Americans switch their register of speech depending on what part of themselves they want to get across. Many of us do something similar inside and outside our particular communities, but you make it sound like a sport that is also for African Americans a tool of survival. So why didn’t you address the policemen as fellow Cantabrigians? What was that "yo’ mama" talk instead of saying simply, in the same register your interlocutor was using, "Look, officer, I’m sorry for your trouble. Thanks for checking on my house when you thought I was being burgled, but this is my home, and if you give me a minute, I’ll find the piece of mail or license that proves it to you." It seems it wasn’t the policeman doing the profiling, it was you. You played him for a racist cop and treated him disrespectfully. Had you truly feared bias, you would surely have behaved in a more controlled, rather than a less controlled, way.
It only gets better from there and I highly recommend everyone read the entire piece — it’s fantastic.

Linda Chavez: No More Racial Sell-Outs
Linda Chavez has a great piece today at Townhall.com about the sick tradition of leftist minorities labeling non-leftist minorities as “traitors” or “Uncle-Tom’s” or “sell-outs.”
Chavez happens to be a conservative Latina who was predictably attacked by some Latinos for her criticism of Supreme Court Justice Nominee Sonia Sotomayor.
The black cop who assisted Sgt. Crowley in the now infamous arrest of Obama’s buddy Skip Gates says he’s been called an “Uncle Tom” because of his support for a white policeman.
The same people who decry racism at every turn think nothing of attacking people of color who disagree with them.
I think it’s pretty damn racist to assume that everyone who shares your skin color thinks exactly alike. If you’re Hispanic or Black you obviously hate the Police and vote Democrat — those are the rules.
Fortunately, that’s not the case. For every racist black professor like Gates who profits from stoking racial tension, there’s a black man like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas who believes in ending racial discrimination in all its forms and moving the country forward.
Obama Semi-Apologizes For Inflaming Gates-Gate
After realizing his phony attempt to gin up a racial controversy had backfired, President Obama tried to walk back his criticism of the Cambridge Police Department today.
The president didn’t have the stones to admit that he behaved “stupidly” by commenting on a case he didn’t know the first damn thing about.
He probably should have dug a little deeper and actually read the police report or spoken with the black and Latino officers who were with Sgt. Crowley at the time of the arrest.
Obama created a phony racial controversy where none existed except in the mind of a race hustling black professor from Harvard.
Obama let his Rev. Wright hang out yesterday and now he’s trying to put him away again.
Breitbart: Lone Wolf Shooters Have A Lot In Common With The Left
Andrew Breitbart has written yet another great column. This week he attacks the liberal media for attempting to tie the Holocaust Museum shooter and others to the Conservative movement.
Here’s a little taste:
While Mr. von Brunn is currently being made out to be the poster child of the Republican Party, even a cursory look at his professed views shows he is the avowed enemy of the GOP in its current incarnation. Among many others, Mr. von Brunn hates Rupert Murdoch, Fox News (that means you, too, Shep!), George W. Bush and John McCain. And according to the FBI, Mr. von Brunn even had in his vehicle the address of the Weekly Standard, home base of the dreaded "neo-cons."
Seems Mr. von Brunn wasn’t a big fan of the Iraq War and also believed that 9/11 was an "inside job." Given this political sketch, Mr. von Brunn would feel at home at Camp Casey, Cindy Sheehan’s antiwar outpost in Crawford, Texas, and at the Daily Kos convention, rather than partaking in a National Review cruise with pro-Israeli war hawks Mark Steyn and Victor Davis Hanson.
The inconvenient truth is that David Duke and James von Brunn currently share more in common with Markos Moulitsas and Arianna Huffington than with Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer. But the right wouldn’t be so crass or foolish to try to blame the political left for the existence of – or motivation behind – haters like Mr. von Brunn.
It’s the left side of the aisle that hates Jews. You won’t find anyone at a Conservative gathering wearing pro-Palestinian or pro-Hamas attire, but you’ll sure as hell see it at any liberal “progressive” rally.
How ironic that just a couple of days after the Holocaust Museum shooting, Obama’s former pastor, Rev. Wright, said “them Jews” won’t let him talk to Obama.
He went on to blather about “Zionism” controlling the government and other such nonsense. Sounds pretty racist to me, and Wright is to the left of Karl Marx.
The reality is that the surge in violence is primarily a cause of the economic downturn. A surge in violence almost always accompanies a recession or depression.
The people who were barely hanging on to their sanity prior to the recession are starting to snap.
It doesn’t have anything to do with political parties. It’s about crazy and not crazy.
