You would think liberals would get bored looking for coded racism. Since they can find it absolutely anywhere, it must be like shooting fish in a barrel. But then, so is making fun of moonbats like Timothy Noah, who declares that it's racist to notice how scrawny Obama is.
Noah denounces a WSJ piece proposing that Obama's skinniness could be a liability. His keen insight has discerned that by skinniness, they really meant mulatto-ness.
[A]ny discussion of Obama's "skinniness" and its impact on the typical American voter can't avoid being interpreted as a coded discussion of race.
In the interests of full disclosure, Noah hilariously admits:
I phoned my former Journal colleague, Michel Martin, an African-American journalist who is now host of NPR's Tell Me More, which frequently addresses matters of race, to ask whether she was offended. She was not.
Apparently not even blacks who make a living off taxpayer-financed moonbattery can compete with Noah when it comes to sniffing out imaginary racism. He explains his theory:
When white people are invited to think about Obama's physical appearance, the principal attribute they're likely to dwell on is his dark skin. Consequently, any reference to Obama's other physical attributes can't help coming off as a coy walk around the barn.
In other words, noticing anything whatsoever about Obama is racist. The Obamessiah is so sacred that even naming his characteristics is blasphemous. We've also heard that mentioning his middle name is racist. But his last name also recalls an mortal enemy of America who tellingly is not an Anglo-Saxon. It might be safest to refer to Obama from now on as He Who Cannot Be Named or Described but Only Abjectly Venerated.
What a whiny beanpole
That is a racist comment if I ever heard one.
Before this is all over, every thought, word, and deed of non-Obama supporters will be cast as racist. But, that’s the only thing the magic-mulatto brings to the table. It is becoming irksome, though.
Jiggers! don’t tell the cops!
I would attribute it to his smoking. Most people I know who quit gained a ton of weight.
Scrawny is right - I don’t know what that Larry guy ever saw in Obama.
Good question. Larry??
Forget that he's half black.
Forget that he is half white.
Forget that he is a race baiter.
Forget that he is a Democrat.
Forget all of that.
He IS a Socialist..and he IS a Marxist.
MOLON LABE
Also, Obama is a noob.
And none of us here saw it coming, whoda thought?
/sarc
It would be interesting to hear what goes on behind closed doors at the McLame campaign. Are they surprised by the cold shoulder John is getting from the press? Ditto for the daily playing of the race card.
Well, I’ll be jiggers! I guess it IS kinda racist. Remember all those Ethiopian skinny jokes, and that in Blackhawk Down they called the Somalians the “skinnies”? Well, a Kenyan is the next thing to being an Ethiopian or a Somalian. In fact, the Kikiyus spill over into all three. Maybe we all need to shut up about skinny — it could hurt someone’s feelings.
NOT!
Anyway, Obama Sr. looked more like Idi Amin than Mohammed Aidid Skyhook.
If it’s racist to call him a commie then why do all his closest friends call him Comrade?
If you think it's bad now, just wait 'till Obambi has his 'civilian army'!
So what’s the skinny on the thin commie?
Not just a Marxist - but of the “Black Liberation Theology” variety.
