In which once again, a leftist nutjob proves that it is impossible to criticize the president without being accused of racism by leftist nutjobs. And once again, they’re the only dogs who can hear the whistles.
By the way, I have a 32-inch waist. I must be black.
What the Hive (as either Joseph Sobran or Tom Bethel once dubbed the confederation of American collectivists) wants you to believe is that if the White House were currently occupied by Caucasian socialist, those of us in the anti-statist, pro-freedom camp would be okay with that. Or at least more okay with it than we currently are about having a half-Caucasian socialist (or whatever else kind of statist you want to characterize “Il Dufe” as).
I like to put this question to “liberals;” if somehow through some wild, Allen Drury-like scenario, the Dems dumped Obama and the GOP dumped Romney, and it became a presidential race between Hilary Clinton and, say, Herman Cain, who would they vote for? You wait until they answer “Clinton” and then shout “RACIST!!!” at Sam Kinison decibel levels. It’s fun to wantch them jump.
I always thought this was just hyperbole and exaggeration — until I encountered it in person. I listened to a man accuse me of racism for calling Obama a closet socialist. I laughed, because I thought he was… well, engaging in hyperbole. Only after another thirty seconds of ranting from him did it begin to dawn on me that, unimaginably, this guy was serious. I was so befuddled I couldn’t do anything but walk away. I simply couldn’t imagine someone being that cow-eyed crazy. How can you argue with a delusional fanatic?

And that cow-eyed crazy man was none other than Bill Maher!
Nah, just kidding. Sort of.
Maybe you should’ve punched him in the nose. After all, calling someone a racist is an example of “fighting words” and no one should get away from such accusations without consequences. If not a punch in the nose, perhaps a lawsuit for defamation.
