Open Thread: 'F--k You, Boy!'
A cogent, if unexpected, result of the ongoing civil war in the Democratic Party has been the revalation among the mainstream press that (gasp) it's not racist to criticize Barack Obama. Better late than never, I suppose. Naomie Emery explores this fact in her Wednesday column:
Boy, some people fly off the handle at nothing these days. "F--- the president," an unidentified Democrat said at a House caucus, concerning the tax deal President Obama cut with Republicans. At once, the keen ears of Maureen Dowd picked up a message: "Fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: 'F--- you, boy!' " There was no doubt in her mind that this was the message.
"Some people just can't believe a black man is president, and will never accept it," she said. Joan Walsh at Salon said that people had "blackened" him. Joe Klein said people were "freaked" by the feeling that the country they loved was being taken over by "furriners ... Latinos, South Asians, East Asians ... liberated, uppity blacks."
Did they say this? Not really.
They said it before, about Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., who muttered "you lie" during a speech by Obama; about people protesting the passage of health care; about people in Tea Parties protesting the national debt.
It was fun while it lasted, but now that those on the left are also mad at Obama on matters of policy, it is becoming more and more obvious that the attempt of the left to describe opposition as rooted in bias was a self-serving fraud all along.
In retrospect, was the media's eagerness to brand Obama's conservative critics "racist" a deliberate attempt to delegitimize that criticism, or just a knee-jerk reaction to ths sight of, say, a white guy from South Carolina daring to speak ill of the bi- and post-racial Barack Obama?

It's an old trick used when the left is losing the argument when their side is represented by someone who isn't Caucasian.

Someone tell me how to pronounce "f---" and "n-----" as well as other words spelled with "-" and "*", etc embedded in them, please. It is really difficult to have a spoken conversation without knowing the proper pronunciation of "-".
Would it be "fudashdashdash", or is it like old Morse Code, "fudididit"? What is proper, please?

None of this means squat. It does not matter what his own party calls him. They will never be held to the same standard, its rule no 1 in the rules for radicals. It is what the repubs don’t call him that counts. However I am happy to see that I will no longer be call a bigot, raciest, homophobe for disagreeing with a liberal whack job who wants America to be “equal” to the rest of the world.

"If, say, Condoleezza Rice were President (I wish, I wish I wish!!)" Every now and then a Condoleezza Rice or Clarence Thomas or Michael Estrada or Bobby Jindal or Eva Guzman comes along to remind us that it is OK to be conservative while African-American or Hispanic or Indian... The sad part is that it is so infrequent that we have to talk about it...

The race card is like insurance. When all else fails you use the race card. Here, even though it was democrats that hurled the "F the president" remark, people are still a bit stunned that nobody made a big deal about it. Therefore, they need to try and get some attention by "explaining" to us idiots that it was "racism". You know, because we "need" the media to explain stuff to us. We are all idiots. :/
