Every criticism of Obama is racist. Left Watch: 2008 tactics THE NEXT RIGHT BLOG by Jon Henke \| June 7, 2008 at 1:02 PM in * Left Watch The Left is very invested in both preemptively delegitimizing criticism of Obama and framing opponents as de facto bigots. Two examples of this kind of messaging are worth pointing out. 1. Framing opponents: Oliver Willis offers this despicable and baseless accusation against "many on the right"... Now, I know in the eyes of many on the right this is just some black church that could be firebombed for all they care... As far as I can see, the only notable person who has spoken positively of domestic bombing is...Bill Ayers, a colleague of Barack Obama. 2. Delegitimizing criticism: Huffington Post blogger Andy Ostroy says equates the Right's use of the word "radical" with racism... The Republicans are great at framing issues and labelling candidates. And the new buzzword for Obama is radical. ... Make no mistake: the constant regurgitation of the word "radical" is meant to conjure up all sorts of fear, anger and racial prejudice. Think "radical Muslim." Think "angry black man." Think Willie Horton. This sort of pandering to the racist dumbasses of America is beyond despicable, but it's what the GOP does best. Ironically, Andy Rostrom himself uses the buzzword "radical" against people on the Right on a regular basis. Apparently, he tells us, this constant regurgitation is meant to conjure up fear, anger and racial prejudice. I will not argue with Andy Rostrom's description of his own words. These tactics will be employed again and again. Don't let them get away with it. thenextright.com
