There is such a thing as a conditioned response. Here's an example: Leftists call conservatives "racists." Conservatives cower and stutter some defense. Leftists call conservatives "racists" some more. Conservatives cower some more. Question: How do you think you break this pattern?
We've seen this again with the recent vitriol spewed by NAACP head Ben Jealous (a fitting last name). Speaking at the NAACP convention in Kansas City, Jealous accused the Tea Party of, take a guess...cue the "Jeopardy!" music..."racism." Just as predictably, many conservatives are running around trying to convince everyone that, by gum, they really are swell guys. No, really. I'm not a racist. I don't beat my wife. I don't kick my dog. I eat my organic vegetables and drive a Prius.
Look, why don't we just save everyone the trouble? Every time a conservative renders an opinion, we can just play a recording with a little weaselly voice screeching, "You're a wacist! You're a wacist!" (Barney Frank-style) followed by a music video featuring The Cowering Conservative -- I mean 1950s-style, duck-and-cover footage, with the tune and all.

No one cowers at this cheap ass pejorative which has become a mere commodity anymore.
It’s stupid, as the only person thing abut race is the person claiming a racial slight.
Most everyone I know doesn’t even think about someone’s race until they point out how “color blind” we are, to an obvious feature, that has nothing to do with who they are as a person.
In fact, people like that get up in the morning, focused on their race and attempt to cow the rest of us for something we couldn’t care less about.
Race is your problem not ours.
You wanted to be treated as an individual, and yet, you will undermine our relationship with your caustic commentary about your race that has so little with anything and undermines everyone of your “supposed color”.
You want us to be color blind, so will be treated with parity, as a human being. But, you have no problem creating resentment for your lame “Viva La Raza, Pero, Nada La Raza” caustic commentary, which causes further divisiveness and resentment, for having to feed your insecurities.
Trust me, we don’t think of you as being inferior for your race, your stinking thinking makes it so.
Other than that, we pretty much think of you as human beings, capable of all sorts of extraordinary things and possessed with the possibilities of excellence.
Please stop excelling at stupidity and focus on productive endeavors and edifying other humans, so we can make it through the day without your invented racial disparity.
The correct term for people like Ben Jealous or other race-obsessed libs is “racialist.” These people thoroughly believe that everything in America is defined by race. Your decision on what car you like to drive for instance. If you think I’m joking, then you haven’t read enought comments by these people.
Everybody is somebody else’s racist.
This isn’t a blog. It’s commentary that should be in the editorial sideba, IMHO.
