(this is Wednesday’s Gregalogue, updated for tonight, with more fun stuff!)
In my opinion, the story of Shirley Sherrod isn’t about racism, but accusations of racism. If someone says they aren’t racist, and minus physical evidence to the contrary, you should take them at their word.
Spencer “call them racists” Ackerman
Unfortunately, we’ve seen that this never happens. And so when you accuse an entire group of racism, like the Tea Party – what you get is rage and frustration.
It’s exactly what that d-bag, from that private leftwing group Journolist, said.
If you remember, Spencer Ackerman wrote:
Instead, take one of them – Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares – and call them racists…This makes *them* sputter with rage, which in turn leads to overreaction and self-destruction.
Yep, he’s a toolbag, but he’s on the money. He knew that if you falsely accuse someone of racism – they explode. And to him – and the media – it rarely matters if that rage is righteous. Because all they want is an angry mob.
And that’s how the race-baiting left works. The Tea Party began as a group of average folks stepping out of their living rooms for the first time. Virgins. And what happened? Chuckleheads at MSNBC pointed out how white they are, Janeane Garafalo painted them as Aryan offshoots, and then the NAACP drafted a silly resolution.
And that’s when Breitbart got involved. Love him or hate him, you gotta admit: his stones are so big they have their own gravitational pull. And he may be the most aggressive fighter on the right that we’ve ever seen.
That can be awesome, and it can be messy. But the fact remains: the left hates him because he’s effective, and his effectiveness shows the rest of us how and why the left has been so successful.
The left has always fought dirty – taking stuff conservatives have said out of context – and always on purpose. See the turds at Media Matters. They perfected the sleaze.
On more than a few occasions the happy warrior Breitbart focused a spotlight on the destructiveness of leftism. ACORN. The NEA. The census. Don’t forget that, when they come to eat him alive.
And if you disagree with me, you’re a racist homophobe who listens to country music while eating whale meat in a gun club.
