She’s got it nailed. I’m so darned racist I wrote in Alan Keyes for president.

I keep waiting for people to stop listening to these absurd cries of racism, but they keep finding a willing audience. It’s like “the boy who cried wolf” without the villagers eventually ignoring his cries.

We all got spoiled by the total absence of vitriol directed toward a president from 2001-2008.

Hah. I voted for Alan Keyes in the 96 and 2000 primaries. I am so ate up with bigotry the Klan called me in to the SPLC.

I’ve always wished Alan Keyes would get a real governing job and work up to the president. I’m afraid it’s true of him what Marion Barry said of Jesse Jackson: (he)don’t want to run nothing but his mouth.

Keyes would do this country a great deal of good if he had turned his words into actions.

I was for Keyes, too.

What brand of blackface is Thomas Sowell hiding behind when he criticizes the president? Darn convincing.

Whew. David Fischler’s post says Ms. Thistlewaite is UCC, not TEC. Not that the differences between those two bodies aren’t narrowing every day.

It’s amazing how many people from Carter to this wacko can see what people are thinking. They’re psychic, or psycho, or something.

She sounds like a real peach:

“Thistlethwaite works in the area of contextual theologies of liberation, specializing in issues of violence and violation. Her works include Casting Stones: Prostitution and Liberation in Asia and the United States with Dr. Rita Nakashima Brock (Fortress, 1996) and The New Testament and Psalms: An Inclusive Translation (Oxford University Press, 1995). Her newest work is Adam, Eve and the Genome: Theology in Dialogue with the Human Genome Project (Fortress Press, 2003).”

The left has used “I know you are, but what am I” and “It takes one to know one” for more than twenty years to promote gay pride. In so doing, they’ve forgotten any more advanced method of communicating disagreement. Since those aren’t applicable in this case, “you’re a racist” is the best thing they have left. Were Barry a person of pallor, their “arguments” would be even more unhinged.

Admit it. You all voted for Keyes because you’re RAAAAAACIST!

Well, we all know Alan Keyes is one of them “self-hatin’” blacks.

Ken -
You’ve just ruined my day with your quote:
“…what Marion Barry said of Jesse Jackson: (he)don’t want to run nothing but his mouth.”

I now have to live with the fact that there’s one issue on which Marion and I agree!

Ms. Thistlewaite ought to compare notes with Rod Dreher for some real insight about Racism in America. *rolls eyes*

Idiots.

Hey, I voted for Keyes in the primaries, too. Still didn’t stop my hard-left kid sister from calling me “racist” ‘cuz I dared to disagree with The One, LOL.

Flambeaux–what are you referring to? What’s Dreher dishing up now? (I try to avoid actually visiting the dreherrhea blog, so I rely on my friends for the Cliff’s Notes.)

Okay…criticizing Obama is sociological racism. Fair enough.

Then any black, hispanic, Asian, or other person other than a Caucasian who criticized President Bush were also racists during the previous administration.

See…this is “hope and change.”

Thimble brains…

Same old song, different day. Limbaugh is a racist who’s destroying the country. Those of us not on board with his (and Parker and Frum and the others) “vision” of conservatism are knuckledragging, slack-jawed troglodytes.

He’s still leading the tent revival in the Cult of Rod.

The only reason I brought him up is that if someone submitted Ms. Thistlewhatever’s comments excerpted here, and Our Boy Reporter’s comments from his piece of teh Intarwebz, I don’t think I could tell them apart if they didn’t come with a label.

What about my framed portrait of The Rt. Rev’d Leonidas Polk?

You dance with them what brung ya.

“Racist” as worked for a generation and more. In fact, it’s true enough often enough that it’s useful when it’s not true.

I would only add that the NEWSWEEK cover IS YOUR BABY RACIST? certainly is. You will note that it is a definitively caucasian baby and therefore only caucasians can be racist. Since this constitutes a QED proof of racism, I submit that the O-man is in fact half-racist. And, since any contamination of the perjorative constitutes the whole, the O-man is a racist.

See how liberal logic works out to the very end? Isn’t it delicious?

Real logic, on the other hand, will not get you to the racist label in the manner this alleged professor of theology proposes. But, hey, what’s a little illogic from the left? Normative.

Such stupidity would be laughable if it were not taught in all seriousness at institutions of higher learning. The sad thing is so many on the left buy into this “racism” charge because none of them have been south of the Mason-Dixon line so know absolutely nothing about the South or the people who live there.

So they blithely believe what they want to believe. It is called being in denial.

Actually, she is getting pretty close to the facts. It is a matter of not liking his color. The thing that most people object to, however, is not that he is (half) black, but rather that he is a RED! We don’t want a Communist in the White House. That’s the objection, and yes, it can be described as a matter of color. Just not in the way that they are thinking.

I certainly wish she would have told me this sooner. I had lots of black friends in the Navy and I didn’t know I was supposed to hate them. Darn! Missed that one! And college and law school - Yep! Same problem. More of them black folks I shoulda been hatin’! I, man, did I ever goof up with my admiration for Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas and Condi Rice, not to mention Willie Mays and Duke Ellington! And lately I’ve been having delusions of disliking NoBama’s policies, but now I know it is that ol’ racial hatred deep inside me. Who’da thunk it? Well, gotta go say my prayers in front of my icon of Robert E. Lee and then cover up with my Confederate battle flag blanket and get some sleep. Y’all come back now, hear? (Humming “Dixie”)

Katherine: Not only is she UCC, she’s the former president of Chicago Theological Seminary. She went from there to the Center for American Progress (John Podesta’s Democratic Party “think” tank). Funny thing is that the only difference between the two gigs is that she now lives in Washington instead of Chicago.

I’m about convinced that pulling out the racist card by liberals is equal to “patriotism being the last refuge of scoundrels” for some far right wingers. A pitifully empty argument, which simply exposes their poverty of any substantial arguments.

The really ironic thing about these trolls is that they’re the same folks who tend to live in lilywhite neighborhoods, send their kids to predominantly white private schools, and whose most meaningful relationships with people of color is with their minority housecleaners, gardeners, and nannies.

You would have to go back to the antebellum South to find people more obsessed with race than the modern liberal.

All those northerners are just talking scared. They’re beginning to realize that the score is Yankees 1, The South 0, and halftime is almost over.

Joshua -

They also tend to belong to overwhelmingly white religious groups - the UCC and TEC, for example.

[...] AND NOW…IDIOTS– The religious left parrots O-leviathan’s talking points …. [...]
