I am a racist

I’ve got some news for you. If you don’t believe the alleged racial slur and spitting incident at the Tea Party protest happened — if you point out that 1) just about every single “racial incident” that is supposed to have perpetrated by evil white racists in the past, oh, ten years, turns out to have been a hoax; or 2) if you note that even if someone in the crowd did yell out epithets, that it’s all too easy to seed an open crowd with troublemakers just to make said crowd look bad — you’re a racist.

If you belong to the Republican party, you’re a racist.

If you are an independent who doesn’t praise the Democrats and slam the Republicans, you’re a racist.

If you’re a Democrat but you say you don’t agree with this health care thing or something else the Democrats are currently pushing, you’re a racist.

If you claim to have been at the Tea Party protests and met black members of said protest, you’re a racist.

If you aren’t a Tea Partier, but admit you agree with some of their ideas, you’re a racist.

If you oppose the “health care bill” by pointing out there is nothing in it that will do anything about health care, you’re a racist. Also you want poor diabetic children to die — but only the black ones, because you’re a racist.

If you oppose this president on anything whatsoever, you’re a racist.

I think I’ve covered everything. The term “racism” has become meaningless, so we really need to stop letting it get to us. All I can think of to do now is to say, when accused by some leftist of racism because you don’t think Obama craps gold coins that smell like Chanel No. 5 and cure cancer, say “Yes, I’m a racist.” Since it’s not actually against the law (yet) to simply be a racist, this will leave the Obamatard sputtering in confusion. He won’t know what to do except shun you, which is what you wanted anyway.

Anyway, I’m with Rand — I think these are false accusations. I mean, how many of those “racial incidents” of the past, going back to the whole Tawana Bradley thing, that were supposedly perpetrated by evil white racists, turned out to be hoaxes? Lying about their opponents is what leftists and race-hustlers (but I repeat myself) do as a matter of course. It’s how they keep their own jobs, how they stay in power — by manipulating your fear of being called a racist. Take that power away from them. Don’t argue with them — once they drag out the “r-word” they’ve proved they have nothing to back their argument with and are counting on your fear to support them. Let them call you whatever — what’s the worst that could happen, race hustlers and socialist toadies won’t invite you to their parties?
