The award for Dumbest Column of 2008 goes to Lewis Diuguid, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist. Diuguid argues that on the campaign trail in recent days the word socialist has been used a code word for black.
Two of the examples Diuguid provides are particularly laughable because they refer to actual Communists. Here are the relevant passages of this dim bulb's mercifully brief column:
W.E.B. Du Bois, who in 1909 helped found the NAACP which is still the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization; Paul Robeson, a famous singer, actor and political activist who in the 1930s became involved in national and international movements for better labor relations, peace and racial justice;W.E.B. DuBois was a Communist Party USA member who received the Lenin Peace Prize. Paul Robeson, also a member of the Communist Party USA, was an America-hating Stalinist. Communist East Germany even issued a postage stamp to honor Comrade Robeson.
You mean, you didn’t know? Geez, you’re never going to earn your white sheet if you don’t start getting faster on the uptake. Remember the secret handshake.
I just read this on another site. This is the most racist screed I’ve read in a while. These people think they are clever in defending and trying to make people guilt vote for Obama, when in reality, they are just being sick racists.
The entire English language will be deemed a “code words” for “black”.
Whitey ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
socialist is a code word for communist.
He's figured it out. The McCain campaign is calling Obama a socialist so that the one guy living in a cave in Idaho who doesn't know Obama is black will be tipped off.
The editorial writer doesn’t know black from red!
“Liberal” is the code word for socialist.
If we start calling the messiah “whitey” they’ll call that a codeword for black.
It’s desperation folks.
Matthew, did you know that "dim bulb" is a code word for "black?"

They call us racist no matter what we say.
So, I guess that Marx was a “brutha”? Who knew?
LOL ... now that is something I can support.
Ayers says he is a Marxist
Yep. Just like all the “socialists” in Eastern Europe and the old USSR were black.
Why are so many mixed race people black (and oppressed) by choice?
I fully expect Obama, Pelosi, and Reid to import Canada’s kangaroo “civil rights” courts to the US.
Follow the money, my friend, follow the money.
