Maybe you people are just … ummm … racists?

When the media sees the popularity of their Messiah sinking like a rock … well it can’t be his policies are bad, or a lack of leadership on his key issues, an inability to effectively communicate with Americans … no … it must be because we are racists. Just ask Chuck Todd and Mike Barnicle. Unbelievable.

    I encourage people to read up on sophistry because the socialist elite in this country are desciples of this ancient greek school of deceptive reasoning. A well worded Wikipedia entry explains…"A sophism is taken as a specious argument used for deceiving someone. It might be crafted to seem logical while actually being wrong, or it might use difficult words and complicated sentences to intimidate the audience into agreeing, or it might appeal to the audience's prejudices and emotions rather than logic, i.e. raising doubts towards the one asserting, rather than his assertion. An Ad Hominem argument is an example of Sophistry…..Calling a debate opponent a racist is nothing more than an Ad Hominem attack punched by an intellectual LOSER.

    Barnicle and Todd aren't the brightest bulbs in the msnbc chandelier, but certainly enthusiastically embrace the network's policy line.  How Todd got that position is a media mystery – anyone called "Todd" on the board of directors???.  How ridiculous to claim that any opposition to the President's policies are based in "southern" racism.  HELLO?????  Haven't you over-paid and over-exposed idiots heard of OVER-SPENDING!!!!  To paraphrase Barnicle at the end, they are both unintersting, and depressingly boring.

    Using the charge of "racism" or "bigotry" to explain away one's failings and deficits is racist in itself.  Using race as an excuse for what one can't do is no better than using race to get what you want.

     

    I call it "reflexive racism": where you automatically cry "racist!" when called to account for one's self.   It is time to get rid of the affirmative action mindset.
