A Charge That Goes Unmade

Jay Nordlinger
The Corner

For the last several months — and increasingly in the last few days — we’ve heard talk about race riots, should the Democratic ticket lose. And I’ve always wondered: Why does no one ever call that racist — to assert that, if their preferred candidate loses, black Americans will run riot? No one says that, in the event of a Republican loss, McCain supporters will engage in widespread criminality.

Racism is charged at virtually every turn (for example when Sarah Palin mocks community organizers, in retaliation for mockery of small-town mayors). Funny that, when the charge would be understandable, it isn’t made.


UPDATE: A reader writes to say that this charge has been made, and this subject addressed, here.
