The Obama Witch Project: RAAAAAAAAACISM!
RAAAAACISM!
My second syndicated column of the week today mocks Obama’s frightened supporters in Washington and in the media who see the specter of racism everywhere they turn. Jim Treacher’s “Wacism” post provides the perfect graphic. Wanna freak out your liberal friends for Halloween? Buy a Sarah Palin mask, wear white, do your “thug thizzle,” and don’t forget to “otherize.”
Boo!

The Obama Witch Project

Republicans don’t need to dress up for Halloween this year. They’re scaring the pants off Barack Obama’s followers by their mere presence. Anything they say, wear, or do provokes instant cries of “RAAAAACISM!” Wink, blink, or think critical thoughts about Obama? You’re a bigot!
How many racial bogeyman have Obama operatives and sympathetic journalists discovered lurking in “coded language” and attire? Let us count the ways:
*At Tuesday’s presidential debate, John McCain referred to Obama as “that one.” Official Obama press agitator Bill Burton sent off an e-mail blast to reporters: “Did John McCain just refer to Obama as ‘that one’?” Horrors. Taking their cue from Burton, spooked Obama supporters hyperventilated like teenagers on the set of the Blair Witch Project movie. “The racial undertones were subtle but unmistakable,” declared Maya Wiley of the leftist Center for Social Inclusion. “McCain was tapping into a current of superiority among white voters. It was an attempt to ‘otherize’ Obama.”
“Otherize?” Sounds like something you do to your car tires to prepare for winter.
UC Berkeley linguistics prof George Lakoff was also haunted by “That One:” “The phrase was meant to say, ‘You and I are in the same area, but he’s the outsider.’”
Memo to McCain: Next time, call him “The One.”
*Obama supporters on the heavily-traffic Democratic Underground website (where such mainstream Democrats as Elizabeth Edwards hang out) saw the ghost of the Ku Klux Klan in Sarah Palin’s white suit jacket. Yes, white clothes = racism.
“Palin is wearing white again, inciting the racist crowds. She should just drop all pretense and put on her white hood and light up a cross. She is a despicable human being,” fumed a DU poster. “Grand Princess of the KKK,” proclaimed another. They’re “trying to send subtle signals to their rabid base,” yet another member of Obama’s rabid base declared.
My racial decoder ring must be on the fritz. Because I’m not getting the signal. If she wears white stockings, drinks a vanilla milk shake, and refers to budgetary black holes, are those incitements, too? And what about her gorgeous white teeth? Perhaps she should drink more coffee — hold the white cream! — to avoid emitting further racial radiation.
*Such paranoia is not limited to the fever swamps of the Internet. Earlier this week, the Associated Press disseminated an “analysis” accusing Palin of injecting a “racial tinge” into the campaign because she criticized Obama for his longtime relationship with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Palin’s comments were completely unobjectionable: “This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America.”
I saw a vice presidential candidate drawing stark philosophical differences between two tickets. The AP saw Freddy Krueger with lipstick and a noose.
“Whether intended or not by the McCain campaign, portraying Obama as ‘not like us’ is another potential appeal to racism. It suggests that the Hawaiian-born Christian is, at heart, un-American,” the AP piece frothed.
Obama is half-black. Ayers is white. One of the Weather Underground’s victims was black police officer Waverly Brown of Nyack, New York. Where do I buy a pair of the super X-ray glasses that can detect the racism in Palin’s remarks about the Obama-Ayers alliance?
*I’ll have to borrow those hysterical-colored spectacles from Time’s Karen Tumulty, who spotted racist goblins in the recent McCain ad criticizing Obama for seeking advice from Fannie Mae corruptocrat, Franklin Raines. “Sinister images of two black men, followed by one of a vulnerable-looking elderly white woman,” Tumulty balked in a blog post titled “McCain plays the race card.”
Um, “sinister?” The ad’s photos of Obama and Raines were standard shots — some with dour expressions, others smiling. The fact that Tumulty perceived them as “sinister” suggests that she should perform a self-racism exam before diagnosing anyone else.
*A parade of Congressional witch hunters for Obama also detects the specter of George Wallace behind every policy bush. Democrat New York Gov. David Paterson says conservative criticism of Obama’s community organizing days is code for “black.” Democrat Rep. Gregory Meeks complained to the New York Observer: “They are trying to throw out these codes.” In the same piece, Democrat Rep. Yvette Clark divined segregationist intent in Palin’s references to Joe Six Pack and hockey moms. “It leaves a lot of people out.”
And Democrat Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid echoed Time’s Tumulty on the McCain camp’s Obama/Raines broadsides: “The only connection that people could bring up about Raines and Barack Obama is that they both are African-American, other than that there is nothing.”
The Washington Post reported that Obama’s office phoned up Raines for housing advice and has stood by its reporting. Is the newspaper part of the McCain/Palin hooded racists’ coven, too?
Obama’s witch hunters better beware. When there’s racism in every hiccup, nobody’s air supply is safe.

I guess we make each other laugh, because I actually thought your link would be something useful. That link was cute. Good luck getting traction with the citizenship angle. I don’t even see Rush, Hannity or MM touching that stupidity any more.
Even people in power have to follow certain rules and standards. Some of you may think Palin can use her position of power to fight personal vendettas. A bipartisan panel in her “community” disagrees with you.
Do you disagree with the panel’s findings? Please tell me all about your insider information to refute the unanimous, well researched findings of 4 democrats and 10 republicans.
“Gov. Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda,” the report states.
Right now 41% of Americans think she’s ready to be president. I expect that number to continue to drop.
…just one 72 year old heartbeat away….
later
mistressjustice - please then, tell me what standards and rules the ObamaMessiah has followed?
For the record though - a politically inspired hit job on someone bears no weight with those of us who like real facts.The fact that there were republicans on the committee only goes to show how much she shook up the entrenched establishment in Alaska - not that she did anything wrong.
Did you ever hear of Senator Joseph McCarthy?
According to the poll I just read only 31% of the people believe that The ObamaMessiah is qualified to be President - and he’s leading the democrat ticket!!
The little old man McAmnesty today AGAIN said not to pick on Obama… he is such a poor candidate. I really hate this guy…
THAT’S RACIST!
I have heard of Senator Joseph McCarthy and consider him a great patriot regardless of bad movies, TV specials and New York Times columnist. Were there in fact communist in the government and was in fact the Truman administration ignoring it.
Answers” yes and yes.
Was he loud, a bully and vulgar? Yes he was and that WAS Congress in the forties and fifties. Look at some old Estes Kefauver tapes of the era. Estes Kefauver was a liberal.
And yes Rob, McCain is easy to dislike and taking our country down to build his ego.

Enjoy
Sarah should stay with that theme, and explain it i.e. what is Black Liberation Theology, book buddy Frank’s communism, Ayers/Rezko/Farrakan’t/ etc.
obama is NOT like us real true red blooded Americans.
First McCain should ask ZERObama to his face…
” Do you think YOU ARE the messiah?”
Farakhan do. Diddy do. Hamas do. barry think he can raise waters an fix the planet.
Jus ax him.
Everyone else in zerobama camp thinks so, his overseas dictators and terrorist friends think so.
ZERObama must have convinced them that he is the ‘one’ messiah
People;
Because conservatives haven’t developed and broadcast simple truths in an effective way America is weeks away from electing its first closet communist as President. Conservatives need to get on message and stay on message. Is lamenting media bias, being called names, lurkers corrupting our blogs, etc, etc the number one messages we have? If not, why is so much type space wasted on these topics when our number one message should be a well told, factual account of Barack Obama’s lack of qualification to be President? Conservative voices that have platforms on the national stage need to use those platforms to champion a well thought out public message based on 100% provable fact - without sarcasm, without innuendo, without speculation. When sarcasm, innuendo and speculation are given prominent space in conservative message forums two things happen. First, liberals divert all attention to those words and away from the important message we want told. Result, primary message negated. Second, undecided voters who come across blogs and other conservative forums such as this see caricatures of Obama with big ears or in a turban and they read sarcastic ridicule about Obama in both the primary message space and in the comments section. Result, they think we are a bunch of far right nuts. Again, primary message negated. I see thousands of comments on this blog and others. That tells me there is a pool of smart manpower available that can help build a proper presentation of the conservative message. We all need to focus on building and telling the message and stop wasting time on silly columns and comments that end in “/sarcasm off”. The 5 minutes you waste now typing a cute superfluous comment will soon lead to four years of opportunity for you to type comments that end in “//crying on”. Its time to start working and stop focusing on things that don’t matter.
It goes to show you what low lives Obama supporters are.
In the words of the immortal Ray Patterson: If you want an experienced public servant, vote for McCain. But if you want to believe a bunch of crazy promises about ga
rbagemen cleaning your guttersHope andwaxing your car…Change then by all means vote for this sleazy lunatic.Sorry if I joined the late, but I ran across this little gem, and had to comment:
So tell us, tettes, what do you think about MSM “man in the street” interviews, or call in/internet polls, or those special audiences that the MSM will assemble for input from “the average Joe/Josephine?”
You know what the difference is? At DU and Kos (even here!), you see the deep down, unvarnished by anonymity views of the real Obamabots. These are the actual thoughts running through their little race sensitized minds, unfiltered by anything like responsibility or a thin veneer of civilized behavior. That is why it is such an accurate measure of the fanaticism of the Obamaroids and shows what they really believe.
Michelle is completely justified by ca
Given what I just told you, you should be far more afraid, as should we all, of the seething hatred and racism that is the foundation of the Obama campaign, not to mention the fraud and the blatant associations with racists, felons, terrorists and communist/socialists.
You fear for yourself, I fear for the country.
Physician, heal thyself.
Didn’t finish the statement above!
…Michelle is completely justified in using their own words, thoughts, and deep down beliefs to describe them.
Very good Dimsdale, very good indeed.

misstress justice, and yet she is more experienced than your top guy. If elected, obama must be impeached.
Some more racism charges from our tolerant diversity clowns in Prince Georges County.
No, sorry to say we can’t not all get along. Some of us just will not submit.

When the royalists living under the rule of King George II in England saw the burning anger and heard the vituperate language of our founding fathers against their king; they were scared by the passionate desire of an intelligent people to live free of government tyranny… or die fighting to oppose it.
Sorry, I cannot call Obambi other than ‘The WRONG One’ or the alternative ‘THE VERY WRONG ONE’ as he has not, after the two years of campaigning, said anything close to wanting anything RIGHT for America.
