The NASCAR-ification of America
The Chicago Sports Review ^ | D.K. Wilson

Posted on 08/03/2007 4:54:54 AM PDT by Rebeleye

In an unbelievable display of racial insensitivity, the program likened these people, these "Scot-Irish" people as down to earth, hard-working, family-oriented, morally responsible people. These redneck, racist, string 'em up, tar and feather, shoot, beat to death, hang pregnant women and slice their stomachs so the unborn baby falls on the ground-ass people were glorified!

OK, slip me a clue. This is a joke, right?

Maybe I’m still waking up but this seems unreadable. It’s the rantings of a loon who is asking for a straight jacket. There's no train of thought.

I was laughing at how fitting it was for Gordon to own a winery in Nappa then I remembered Childress’s vineyard along I-85 in Lexington an hour NE of Charlotte.

NASCAR is all about money, nothing else.

A black Mark Morford. A talent for slinging purple prose is no substitute for rationality. ;)

No this is not a joke. The author is truly a loon.

Is this from The Onion? Gawd, what a crackpot. I haven’t read anything more offensive in a long time. Of course, I stay away from DU and Daily Kos.

I kept looking for the punch line all the way through it, but if there was one, I missed it.

I think this is just a very racist rant that would get him fired if he'd directed it at blacks, for example. He needs to be called on this, and I expect that he will.

If not, we can just chalk it off as another example of Relative Racism as practiced by various leftwing race-baiting demogogues.

The whole thing is a punch line. He’s writing an exagerated version of the elite media/liberal view that NASCAR is whites-only and racist. He’s satirizing them in order to defend NASCAR.

RACING!! Thank God there are some good local short tracks where kids can actually talk to the drivers and get their autographs. Just this past wednesday night at my local shorttrack, my daughter was given (free) a t-shirt from one of her favorite drivers who recognized her as being the kid who is always cheering him on, and is always at the fence when he wins. He doesn't really win often, though. Yeah, short tracks, where families can actually afford a night out, THAT's what it's all about!

I explained to my daughter on the ride home that we could go to SEVENTEEN short track races for the price of one NASCAR race. She said she'd stick with the short track stuff. I may just have to reward that kind of rationale with a trip to NHIS.

I’m no fan of NAASCAR, but I’d defend it against this lunatic. Formula one is all white, too. So is Indy. Why pick on Naascar?

Not only that, but to be in third place is no where near the bottom - with all the categories of motor racing around, third comes out near the top.

This guy isn’t qualified to waste ink and paper.
