Michelle Malkin blames all this talk of racism on The Obama Witch Project. Witches. Sarah Palin. Get it? So funny I forgot to laugh.
Republicans don’t need to dress up for Halloween this year. They’re scaring the pants off Barack Obama’s followers by their mere presence. Anything they say, wear, or do provokes instant cries of “RAAAAACISM!” Wink, blink, or think critical thoughts about Obama? You’re a bigot!
Actually shouts of “terrorist” and “kill him” are what’s scaring Obama supporters. That and crazy right wing lunatics with guns who aren’t afraid to use them.
But as to charges of racism, all one needs to do is read the headline of Michael Barone’s latest screed at National Review Online to see that the righties aren’t exactly playing it subtle with their racist references:
The Coming Obama Thugocracy
Thug is an old word which originated in India during the rule of the British Empire, but of late the word “thug” has an association with “Gangsta Rap” which is not exactly a secret. In other words, Barone is intentionally linking Obama supporters with scary, murderous African American gangsters. Just in case white people don’t get the message that Obama is a very dangerous guy.
So, tell me again Michelle, who’s spreading these racist memes? “That thug” and his “thug supporters,” or you and your friends? I’m all confused.
