Generally speaking, I agree with Brad from Sadly No! in re Obama's speech on race:
While both Obama and Clinton supporters came away impressed by Hussein Obama X’s speech this morning, I was rather disappointed. For instance, I thought that Hussein X could have spent far more time detailing his plans to truck all white people off to reparations camps where we’ll be forced to do lawn work for Mexican Reconquistadores and the Global Caliphate. But alas, he’s still trying to trick white people into thinking he’s not conspiring with the Mexicans and the Muslims to destroy us all. I guess this will have to wait until after he’s elected, hee, hee, hee…
Judge for yourself:
It's been amusing to see the reaction of rightwingers in the Wisconsin blogosphere -- including one who proudly calls Latinos "chihuahuas" and then denounces Jeremiah Wright as "racist"-- complain about Wright, his batshit comments and Obama's "inadequate" comments. These are angry, angry people -- people who denounce taxation as theft, make unsustainable analogies between smoking bans and the Third Reich, call Hillary Clinton the Hildabeast or Hitlery, and call public employees lemmings, to cite one of the more benign terms.
No one plays the outraged victim card better than rightwingers. Thing is, the "oppression" they cite is penny ante -- at most -- compared to the actual discrimination that a black man of Wright's generation had to put up with. And that's not "excusing" or "contextualizing" Wright's comments. That's just a fact. Fred Dooley thinks he has reason to be angry now? The Brawler suggests Dooley don't know nothing about reasons to be angry. (This paragraph was edited and expanded for clarity.)
The thing that makes them really angry, though, is they can't stop the awesome power of the fully operation Obama mothership. And they know it.
