NAACP race-monger: Obama was “lynched” by a cartoon!

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 17, 2008 08:58 AM

Geez, I thought that the two Texas dunces who protested the phrase “black holes” had won the grievance-mongering morons of the year award.

They’ve got competition.

Enter Myrlie Evers-Williams, NAACP official and widow of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers. She is decrying the New Yorker cartoon of the Obamas as a “lynching.” Hey, never mind that it’s the critics of Obama who are the subject of the cartoon’s “lynching.” Evers-Williams’ cartoon comprehension score: F-. Some people to need to be kept away from the microphone.

For crying out loud:

An NAACP leader, who saw her husband killed decades ago for his civil rights work, said Tuesday that presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife, Michele, are undergoing “political lynching” in the media.

Myrlie Evers-Williams, 75, the widow of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers, told an NAACP luncheon group Tuesday that political spin masters and the news media are painting the Obamas as unpatriotic and dangerous radicals. She said the attacks are serious enough to use the term lynching, even though that usually refers to racially-motivated killings.

Evers-Williams, a chairwoman emeritus of the civil rights organization, said New Yorker magazine’s recent cover is an example. The magazine’s cartoon cover shows a turban-clad Barack Obama bumping knuckles with a gun-toting Michele Obama as an American flag burns in a fireplace…

“As I watch the political scene unfold, I realize there is more than one way to lynch someone,” said Evers-Williams. “I look at the picture of the New Yorker and to me that was subtle, political lynching. You can call it satire if you want.”

And that, dear readers, is what we call self-satire.

Obama needs to grow a pair. This woman needs to grow a brain.

    I suspect lgm is simply a troll, taking the contrarian side to stir up controversary. No one could possibly be so wrong 100% of the time.

    That pretty much sums it up. LGM is the quintessential thread hijacker. Michelle could post something about fishing for largemouth bass and he’d chime in with his latest anti-Bush/Republican talking points.

    Wrong. You talk about anything that distracts from the big picture of how low the GOP has sunk. The MSM and liberal blogs moved on.

    But isnt that the very same thing you do here in a regular basis? You’re claiming others are doing the same exact thing YOU are doing. If you’re going to argue the point, at least dont be hypocritical about it.

    There are plenty of places other than here that still discuss this.

    I think i can do this and my head not explode…lets try a few examples.

    “Bush lied, Bass Died”

    “Its because of SUV’s and global warming, which you GOP b@st@rds love…all those huge gas guzzling machines are putting CO2 in the air and killing things”

    “Your friends at Big Oil are dumping chemicals into the water, so its killing them too”

    “Oh, did I mention Bush Lied, Fish Fried?”

    I need some Advil.

    Interesting question. who would you prefer, in order of preference first to last, of Obama, McCain, and Bush.
    Wow it’s like choosing out of the three stooges, but worse.

    Putting aside for a second that the cartoon was not even a criticism of Obama, it is pretty clear that this is what we should expect to be seeing for the next 4 years. Any criticism of the Dalai ‘Bama will be framed as racism or some sort of “lynching”.

    So it’s ok to have a big sign saying ‘F*CK BUSH’ and depictions of a hand holding up Bush’s decapitated head, but not to hold a sign saying ‘F*CK OBAMA’ with a depiction of Obama being lynched?
    Can you say double standard?

    slightly off topic, but Venus Williams was on Larry King last night and King towed the lib party line asking her if it wasn’t true that she must have had it so much tougher growing up than all the other tennis players on the tour because she was black …
    Venus didn’t miss a beat and said that probably the women who grew up in Eastern Europe and Moscow had it a lot worse and “worse ghettos” and that she had a good family etc.

    It was amazing… talented beautiful, smart and fair young woman….

    She is as big an idiot as lgm. I have yet to hear any mainstream media do anything but sing the praises of B. HUSSIEN OHBOOBOOINMYPANTS.

    the Obamas as unpatriotic and dangerous radicals.

    YES, I THINK THEY ARE. If that makes me a racist so be it.

    sarc on/ guess i will get my robe out of the closet then / sarc off

    Speaking of fishing – I’ll bet GW got a chuckle that he kept to himself when he saw this.

    Check out the outrage from Obama on the cartoon: “Ultimately it’s a cartoon . . . ”

    He knows what the important issues are. Maybe MM could take a hint: Iraq, energy, health care, clean government, the mortgage crisis, the economy, . . .
    (number 327 on the list — the cartoon).

    I miss the good old days when everything was always Bill Clinton’s fault –

    Now we got this Obama guy and none of us know if we hate him cause he’s black or because he’s smart.

    Probably both.

    Someone is going to get rich writing a book about the most comical/pathetic examples of PC’ness. The black community of today just keeps disgracing the brave and justifiably aggrieved black community of the real civil rights era: circa 1950′s, 1960′s.
