Krauthammered! The Race Card is the "Last Refuge of the Liberal Scoundrel." »
Posted By pc25 2 months, 1 week ago in Political OpinionHe also diagnosed Maureen Dowd's schizophrenia. Will he call her on her malignant narcissism and retardation, too?
Actually, he touched upon her mental deficiencies when he called an ad hominem an ad hominem, thereby implying that she necessarily lacks any and all logical faculties.
I will bet anyone $10 right now that the New Duranty Times fails to report, as they consistently do, on the actual racism and actual racist hate crimes which have taken place in America over the course of the last few days

When anyone invokes the race card in defense of Obama, they necessarily concede the debate for three reasons:
Reply
1) They are not discussing a substantive issue, nor are they making a point. Rather, they have essentially admitted to being 100% wrong and having no point whatsoever by relying on an ad hominem logical fallacy. Doing this, by the way, necessarily makes one retarded.
2) They expose themselves as racists by refusing to hold all people to the same standard based on skin color.

3) They de facto admit that Obama is a complete fraud, a liar, and not at all who he claims to be.-

Garbage.
When someone invokes the racism 'card' in defense of Obama it's usually because the person attacking Obama is not attacking him based on anything he's done, it's because they throw in a racist statement to go along with their attack. Either that or they're making attacks on Obama in a way that they never made on previous Presidents (all white) who've taken similar paths in their leadership.
Your little list of 3 things is utter crap. So are you. -

Tell me. Exactly HOW do we SUBSTANTIVELY counter these very substantive claims of "Obama is a Marxist" or "Obama bin Laden" or "this is Obama's America where white kids get beat up while black kids laugh. We DO need segregated buses"? HOW do we counter ads showing watermelon & fried chicken as an invitation from Obama, an "portrait" of Obama shown as a black circle with white eyes on it, or a man holding a monkey w/Obama's nametag on it? Or the multitudinous similar "arguments"?
Tell me, oh wise one, how exactly do we SUBSTANTIVELY argue such overtly racist "arguments" that aren't arguing anything?
>>2) They expose themselves as racists by refusing to hold all people to the same standard based on skin color.
And you do? I just heard Carie Preajan lamenting that she lost the crown because of people who were intolerant of her intolerance.
>>3) They de facto admit that Obama is a complete fraud, a liar, and not at all who he claims to be.
Only to those who would not support Obama no matter what. And all we can figure is that people like the teabaggers & birthers, & now the czarists, are opposing him only because of their racist. For the simple fact that they haven't gone after ANY other candidate or president in this manner.
Heyell - your guys even worked with CLINTON even tho you were trying to get him kicked out of office.

I'm trying to understand these rules for racism the democrats have and/or keep making up. It appears that according to these rules it's just fine for a liberal, white, democrat to call a black, conservative or republican, like Condalessa Rice or Clarence Thomas, any nasty invectives they feel like hurling at them and accuse them of the vilest things with no proof and this is acceptable. And it's racist for a white person of any political persuasion to disagree, criticize or call a black democrat president a liar?

'Racist' claims defuse once powerful word
With the word being used so often, it's harder to define its meaning
Everybody's racist, it seems.
Republican Rep. Joe Wilson? Racist, because he shouted "You lie!" at the first black president. Health care protesters, affirmative action supporters? Racist. And Barack Obama? He's the "Racist in Chief," wrote a leader of the recent conservative protest in Washington.
But if everybody's racist, is anyone?
The word is being sprayed in all directions, creating a hall of mirrors that is draining the scarlet R of its meaning and its power, turning it into more of a spitball than a stigma.
another argument lost by the Obots........ -

The racist argument is a very divisive accusation. Also the argument, as being applied recently, usually does not have any provable facts behind it to substantiate ie to establish by proof or competent evidence, the accusation.
Reply
As an example, there is no way ex Pres Carter can prove his recent statement about racism toward OBama is true in a concrete way, it was only a simplifying supposition on his part; the reason the majority of people are protesting against 0Bama and Democrat politicians is not because of policy disagreements but because of the supposed socially entrenched emotion of racism.
Once the race card is used, the argument over the substantive facts( having substance : involving matters of major or practical importance to all concerned) are usually over. The accusation stops all reasonable conversation from all parties involved. -

If ObamaCare crashes and burns, the Democratic strategy painting the opposition as racist nuts — starting with that odious DNC ad about “angry mobs” in July and continuing to the present day — will go down as one of the most insanely idiotic gambits in modern political history. (It should be remembered that way anyway, but if the bill passes it’ll be treated as harmless error.) To stoop to racial demagoguery to try to bully centrists out of their doubts about universal health care is both a short-term error and a long-term one. The AP identifies the long-term problem, namely, that the race card is like any other commodity insofar as the greater the supply, the more it’s devalued. The left has gotten tremendous mileage out of it over the years, but to be this cynical about it when there are clear majorities with serious concerns about health-care reform is practically an admission to independents that it’s little more than a type of McCarthyism. Good luck getting them to join a “permanent Democratic majority” after equating their worries about government expansion to white supremacism. -

“Any American, regardless of party or race, has to find it heartening that the country has reached the point where a black candidate for President of the United States sweeps so many primaries in states where the overwhelming majority of the population is white.”
October 21, 2008
Polls and Pols
By Thomas Sowell
"Barack Obama's string of victories in early Democratic primaries against far better known white candidates shows that large segments of the American population have moved beyond race.
"It is Barack Obama and his supporters who have hyped race, after his large lead in the polls began to shrink or evaporate, as more of the facts about his checkered career came out.
"Almost any criticism of Obama has been equated with racism, even if there is no connection that can be seen under a microscope.
"Barack Obama himself started this trend when he warned that his opponents were going to try to scare the public with various charges, including a statement, 'And did I say he was black?'"
