The American Spectator

You think he'd just give out taxpayer money for nothing? Ask Rod, it's an f'ing valuable thing!

Would that democrat hack's initials be LR/J?

He never shows up on threads that prove the corruption of his fellow fascist liberals.

Liberal Reader| 8.5.09 @ 7:45PM

O.K., Vadum. I'll play.

What you're doing here is attempting to trivialize claims of racism.

You're saying, in effect, ANY claim of racism is as silly as a case of racism would be in this case.

When Beck calls Obama a racist, or when Tom Tancredo compares Sotomayor to a leader of the KKK, it's not a serious argument. No one believes it. But it does have an effect: it suggests that all such claims are specious and empty.

In fact, however, race and racial conflicts are powerful themes in American history. "Racism" in that history has been the history of white supremacy. Pretending otherwise is a form of moral relativism, something conservatives used to exercised about back when they read books and engaged in actual philosophical debates.

Just calling me a "fascist" is also relativistic, attempting to erase actual, real history in favor of abstract labels. Fascism is something hundreds of thousands of Americans died defeating in Europe, under the leadership of a Democratic president, by the way.

Bottom line. Gulity! White,black,yellow or green he should be out of there. Irregardless of race. But, let's watch and see how fast the Dems remove him. Unlike the guy from Alaska who was a Republican.

SoCon| 8.5.09 @ 8:37PM

That Democrat President (FDR) represented Democrats of yore, LR/Jeremiah. That party no longer exists. What we see now is a collection of Liberal whiners, naysayers, fascists and thugs.

Your party is no longer patriotic, you're all Alinskyites now.

JimE| 8.5.09 @ 9:23PM

More cut and paste talking points from Liberal moron, he never addresses the guilt issue. He is just another obama cyborg.

Paul Revere| 8.5.09 @ 9:24PM

LR -- right, trivialize the race card. Hmmmm.... So how does it feel having Alinsky tactics used on YOU?
Dumbass

Blunted| 8.5.09 @ 9:56PM

You libtards made great strides, BACKWARDS, moron. Bloodsuckers, leeches and thugs comprise the demonrat party of today.

Do something productive; go pick up your welfare check, sleazeball.

Most (though not all) allegations of racism in America today are false so of course I am suspicious whenever the race card is played. All sensible people are. Race itself is an annoying, inaccurate generalization. The left cares about it way too much.

Again Liberal Reader, apparently an academic or perhaps a graduate student, sounds like race pimp Morris Dees or the typical Marxist university professor. Liberal Reader writes "'Racism' in that history has been the history of white supremacy." All PC code. Translation: America is a rotten, systemically racist country where only (old?) white males can catch a break. It's the same old condescending leftist, collectivist rubbish.

Of course there is racism in America nowadays, but it is not widespread. Most of it is practiced by the left, not the right. Racism in the USA in 2009 is largely a figment of the liberal imagination. Pardon me if I laugh as you leftists chase phantoms in order to keep the grant money coming.

When I use a word such as "Fascist," by the way, it is intended as a description, not a smear or rhetorical sleight-of-hand. I am trying to convey meaning. Sure, it is an attack, but it is not an unfair attack. Your side is the camp that engages in relativism.

Fascism is indeed something many good people died to defeat, so it is a shame that President Obama and the Democratic Congress are so Fascistic in inclination. It's downright un-American, don't you think?

Gotcha!| 8.5.09 @ 10:00PM

Why did you leave out Jimmuh Carter in your Rogues' Gallery of liberal butt-head presidents, hmmmm? Embarrassed by your toothy one-term tool? You should be. lol!

Smitty| 8.5.09 @ 10:48PM

Just my opinion.

Perhaps it's because liberals don't put a lot of stock in belief in GOD that they don't understand why we aren't intrinsically racist. It's because we know racism is wrong and God will hold us accountable for our actions.

It's true.

It's called a conscience and mine was formed and internalized when I was just a child.

Life isn't fair and not everyone is decent; and I'm sure racism stills exists; but I also know that thought police leftists use cries and shrieks of "racism" as a means to control debate and repress free speech--and I'm damned sick and tired of it!

Liberal Reader:

One need simply peruse this site for posts by your fellow liberals to understand how easily liberals throw around the racist claim. Go to the Dailykos or the Huffington Post and see what is being said about those who oppose Obama on any number of issues. It's all there for you to see if you're willing to open your mind to information that contradicts your way of thinking.

J. Kelley| 8.6.09 @ 9:01AM

From News Busters Web Site. NBC did not mention Jeffersons party. ABC briefly mentioned he was a Democrat. CBS did not have anything on the story. Now if this had been William Jefferson(Rep.)La., would the coverage have been the same? We all know the answer to that.But since it was William Jefferson Dem. LA.,if is there is a story the Party will not be mentioned.

Liberal Reader,

You offer (yet again) an ad hominem attack accusing conservatives of being 'not well read' and unwilling (or unable) to engage in philosophical debate.

And yet...you reveal yourself as not being particularly well versed in the meaning of the terms being used in the debate.

Loosely defined, "racism" is the attribution of an individual's traits, whether they be moral, intellectual or physical, based on that individual's race.

When Sonya Sotomayor opinins that she, as a latina Woman, is morally or intellectually superior to a generic "white male", THAT...is racism. Pure and simple.

When the power of government is brought to bear on the subject...and said government REQUIRES a certain demographic based not on qualification but specifically on race...THAT is racism. Pure and simple.

Now, philosophically...racism is either a "good"..or it is not "good". If it is "not good", then it is an absurdity to employ racism in order to eradicate racism.

Attempting to make the argument that a particular application of racism may be appropriate to eradicate racism is a prime example of moral relativism.

"Fascism" is a little tougher to define, specifically, because it crosses so closely with Marxism. One significant difference is that, whereas Marxism attempts to organize production by assigning control of the means of production to the "proletariat" (the workers) in a "bottom up" model, the fascist applies the same control in a "top down" model. ie.....private ownership of business is allowed but a centralized means of control (government) is at the top pulling the strings. Like, for example, dictating salaries of management, wages and benefits paid to workers and the type and number of product produced.

Now...put the thinking cap on that 'well read' head of yours and see if you can figure out which of the two political parties in this country more closely resembles the practices of both the "racist" and the "fascist".
