Hate Speech & History (RCP Blog 9/19/09)

I don't know who Kathy Clay-Little is, but she's occupying space on the opinion page of the San Antonio Express-News with this stuff:

While it would be a stretch to label Wilson's outburst as hate speech, it would not be unfair to label the comment as a sinister effort on the part of some right-wing conservatives to wrap themselves in the American flag and lay the groundwork for the kind of hate that killed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy to fester.

Ms. Clay-Little should be given a citation for historical revisionism for conflating the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King with the Kennedys. For the record, JFK was killed by a  communist and Bobby Kennedy was slain by a Palestinian Nationalist. In other words, they were killed by whackos from the left, not the right.

Good article and very true.  We need to stop the race card from being played.

Apparently, Obama is the only president in the history of this country who should not be criticized or questioned. If the man can't stand up to review and criticism then he's in the wrong job. Maybe there's a cult without a leader somewhere just waiting for a charismatic, egocentric, narcissist to shower them with platitudes and lead them to the promised land - oh wait... Obama's already filling that position too.

This administration is so weak that fake racism is the only card they have.  The tragedy is that, when real racism occurs, and it does every day, people will ignore the cries.

Thanks, o-ineligible.

BTW, if anyone was well within his rights to yell "You lie," it was Joe Wilson.  Obama is the biggest liar around!

I also think that its a bit racist to say that a black person should not be subject to criticism in any way shape or form, which is basically what they seem to want for obama.

That, to me, implies that black people can't handle criticism, and should not be subjected to the same criticism a white person is subjected to.  Its really rather patronizing and condescending to black people to say that they should not be criticized.

So much for equal treatment.

Its really no different than saying a woman is having a bad day at work because she has PMS, so steer clear of her and don't upset her.

STAMP that is what I believe these people want.  I mean I always thought the racist people were on the Obama campaign I guess they wanted to make sure that there would be only one black President.  I think that they are making a mistake and its going to bite black people in the azz.
