Very mature - did you write the writer's bio?
I read his article. He regurgitated a poll even Chris Mathews concedes is a flawed, a Democratic talking point - to make a point. WITHOUT THAT ERRONEOUS GROUND, his point is meaningless. "Hey, a lot of rednecks think Obama is a Muslim and I got a poll to prove it."
He then cites Circus Sideshow Donald Trump as representative of the mainstream of the Republican Party on the birth certificate issue. Lost in that very citation is the fact that none of the MSM did their jobs in 2008.
And how is questioning where Obama was born "racist?" It is hilarious to me that it was just fine to call Dick Cheney and George Bush murderers without the first shred of evidence for the better part of eight years. How often were we told that dissent was such a high form of patriotism? Now if you dissent - simply because the guy is black - you get called a racist. Does the clown who wrote this dispute that easily observable phenomena?
Dissent suddenly became racist on January 20, 2009 after being patriotic for eight years.
And then there's this pathetic line of laziness:
Better to leverage or at least
accept the racism of much of the Republican base than try to clean it up.
Proof? None forthcoming. This guy would be a great liberal. MUCH of the Republican base is racist? Where's the data on that?
He's a conservative himself; writes for National Review, City Journal and the WSJ. But if that's your attitude, this conversation is a non-starter.
He wrote an incredibly lazy paper designed to soothe his guilt then.
