In the wake of Joe Wilson's crude outburst, many network commentators (and Jimmy Carter, of course) are weighing in on the new racism that supposedly explains 1) rising opposition to Obamacare and 2) the president's sinking polls. I think this is a disastrous political move to save a health-care plan that simply has not appealed to a majority of Americans. I suspect it will result in another 5-point poll slide

Is stopping an assault in progress now "uninvited interference with interpersonal activity"?

Dear Liberals,
Please be advised that your Race Card account has been closed. This decision was based on your account history of excessive over-limit spending. Please destroy your card immediately as it will no longer be honored.
Sincerely, The American People
Just a bunch of loony, extremist Racers.
Heartfelt outburst is now considered ‘crude’.
Well, excuse me, but I disagree 1000%.
I would hardly call two words an ‘outburst’, and I would not characterize the manner in which they delivered as crude. We live in an upside down world these days. It used to be the story line for Twilight Zone and other science fiction or fantasy programs. Today we live it.
And just to be certain there is no lack of clarity in how I feel about the ‘outburst’ let me hasten to say I think it was outstanding! There's a principle in cards that says the cards speak for themselves, meaning that those in the game have an obligation to honor the best hand, even if the one who holds the hand fails to realize it's a winning hand. Joe Wilson speaking up to point out the untruth of the what Obama was telling us is the same thing in my mind. Obama didn't have the winning hand, and Joe Wilson had an obligation to point that out. He did so, in just about the most innocuous way possible.
Should there be race-related riots in the streets in the future, I will blame the likes of some of these clowns for having fanned these outlandish claims....in addition to the race-haters on the left, and there are lots of them.
