Why is it that liberals are so quick to throw the race card? Sure, Strom Thurmond is a racist as are many Southern Democrats. Most liberals and most conservatives ARE NOT racists. Tell me, did Mr. Clinton appoint as many African-Americans to top cabinet posts as Mr. Bush did? And don't lay that Uncle Tom stuff on me. Any time a Republican is a person of color or appoints a person of color, the liberals love to use the Uncle Tom label. If a Republican is white or appoints a white person, liberals love to use that as an example of racism. What is really going on is liberal hypocrisy. Liberals can't stand it when someone else has the high ground.
Let's look at your post, which is admittedly humorous in a sick kind of way. Early on it throws the race card (Presentation of Confederate Colors), then it bashes a religious leader with a reputation for honor (Franklin Graham), it makes a veiled slur against Islam (Call to Holy War), returns to the race card (more on the Confederates), attacks a man's religion (John Ashcroft and the Crisco), accuses the Republicans of racism (minstrel show remark), insults a national leader of color by pairing her with the minstrel show remark (Condoleeza Rice), attacks Jeb Bush because he has children with a drug problem, and then makes fun of a guy with a gambling addiction. Of course, I left out several more racial insults. Hey, I don't like Ashcroft either, but let's talk about his policies and his actions in office, not his religion.
Too bad the victims of your humor aren't liberal - if they were then perhaps Ted Kennedy (beacon of light and moral guide for the New America) could help them with a government program or two.
By no means are most Republicans racist, but most racists are Republicans. I'm surprised at how thin-skinned some right-wingers are, though!
The piece posted was similar to one I saw about the Democratic Convention recently, including many toasts from Kennedy, etc. I chuckled at it, but didn't get myself knotted up about how unfair it was.
Franklin Graham is a lunatic, by the way. His "reputation for honor" was burned away in the heat of his Islam-bashing.
Regarding Franklin Graham - read the Koran, study the history of the Mideast, then get back to me about whether Graham is a lunatic. See: Koran 9:5 for example.
Many Muslims are peace loving people and believe their religion is a religion of peace. There are also Muslims who believe it is their duty to kill the unbelievers.
Great article! Thanks.
