Oh, you are right. I assumed the hard copy came out earlier. Normally a paperback isn’t issued that quick.
Sorry. But still, he wrote 3 books.
Thanks!
There isn’t any, of course.
Most of the commentators believe the columnist made this “dry cleaning white woman” up. I tend to agree. His propaganda is right out of a Cornell West diatribe.
This is a fake. Where are the quotes?
“I just don’t know about him,” she blurted. (That’s an actual quote.)
(However) Well, she said, fighting for words, she was concerned that if Obama got elected, somehow it would embolden black people — black men, in particular — to feel entitled.
And what if, she said haltingly, a black president meant a change in the country’s power structure? And what if, she continued, this new black power structure decided to treat whites the way whites had historically treated blacks?
(Why didn’t the reporter just quote her? )
Oh, paleeeeez.....a white woman talking to a black man about black power and politics....in a pipe dream!
“Do you actually believe this conversation took place?”
Of course it didn’t. This is nothing more than a pro-Zero piece by one of his disciples.
“And what if, she continued, this new black power structure decided to treat whites the way whites had historically treated blacks?”
You mean like in Zimbabwe where white farmers — runing for thier lives — are being expeled by Mugabe as the people of Zimbabwe starve to death?... THAT kind of ‘new’ black power structure?
STE=Q
You missed that little word, state.
I think I can summon up most of what concerns people about Obama:
1) He is a nobody, a man dredged up from the Chicago machine whose sole purpose seems to have been that he could beat Hillary.
2) He really *is* a nobody. His biography amounted to “He was born, and then he grew up. What else is there to know?” His skin may be black, but inside he is an android or a clone. There is no “there”, there.
3) His politics are so incredibly leftist that they are almost off the scale. The most left wing senator, even two positions left of the socialist senator Sanders. The guy makes Che Guevara look like Rush Limbaugh, he is so far left.
4) For a long time he has been surrounded by not just radicals, but extremists. In his youth, they were Muslims, in his college years by violent terrorist leftist radicals. To make things surreal, in high school, he seemed to be an unusually normal child. About the only person who could explain his life would be David Horowitz.
5) His personna is utterly fake. In front of a black audience, he orates like a preacher. In front of a white audience, he is slippery, seeming to embrace nothing, stand for nothing, yet advocate everything for everyone in the blandest of terms. He makes promises not only unrealistic, but impossible.
6) His behind the scenes ugly campaign is both crude and nasty. Americans do not typically object to the negative aspects of political campaigns, but they must have a lightness, a wit, about them. Gross lies, threats, and efforts at censorship are a sign of weakness. Even outright cheating can be forgiven to some degree if done with flair and elan. But you do not send thugs to beat up boy scouts, suggest prosecuting your opponent’s supporters, etc.
and finally,
7) Racism. Not against Obama because he is black, but against non-black people, by black people, so wrapped up in feelings of self pity that they do not realize that they have become what they hate. For close to a century, black Americans were all Republicans, and as such were marginalized. Then as a group they became Democrats, and have again become marginalized. Until they can overcome their own racial identification and accept diversity in their own race, they condemn themselves to such marginality.
So is Obama the candidate for all America, or just for black America? Does black obsession with race overcome all other issues? And most importantly, why embrace a candidate who will ignore you? One might as well vote for the president of France.
Not me, I'm voting for him because Sarah Palin is pretty. Which is every bit as good a reason as voting for someone because of the shade of his skin.
Yes I did! It’s time to go to my happy place....mowing the lawn.
The Democratic Base, the baby-killing lobby, is driven by lust, greed, covetousness, envy, cowardice, etc. They are more likely than the Republican Base to be racist as well.
To anyone who believes this conversation actually took place: I have some penny stocks to recommend to you, guaranteed to make 100,000% return in 3 months!
I sent a note to Mr. Simpson; as follows
Dear Mr. Simpson:
We don’t believe you.
What is it we don’t believe?
We believe that the “dry cleaning lady” is a piece of fiction and/or the exact words that you put in the mouth of some such “dry cleaning lady” are fictional.
It seems you may have taken good lessons from the Clintons on how to spin personal myths.
We herewith demand that your editors (lumsden@courant.com) either produce the “dry cleaning woman” so that objective reporters can, independently report what SHE says, or publish an apology for your fiction.
It has been clear for more than a week now that Mr. Obama has used his campaign staff executives’ connections throughout the LameStreamMedia to develop the “story” that if he loses the election it will only be due to white racism. It, in itself, is nothing more than a racist attempt to explain away his possible loss.
Mr. Obama has counted all along on two things -
(1) African Americans voting by race, not by policy substance. African American Democrats did just that during the primaries. Unlike the more evenly split white Democrat votes, Blacks voted overwhelming for Obama in percentages that have no correlation with material policy differences between Hillary and Obama. They have not arrived where Martin asked them to be. Had they voted based on real personal policy preferences, and not race, their votes would have been more evenly split between Hillary and Obama; and Obama would have lost the primaries.
(2) White’s feeling race-guilty, as so many white Liberals do.
Mr. Obama’s charade is what is racist. He is attempting to get whites to feel guilty for not voting for him.
Sorry, but to paraphrase Martin Luther King, it is the measure of the man and not the color of his skin that should concern us. So, many of us, Black and White, and Hispanic and Asian and in every other category feel fine rejecting Mr. Obama, because we reject him, as an individual, not his race. No amount of a PR campaign in the media is going to make us feel racial guilt when he loses. That ploy works on liberals, progressives and Marxists not on the American people.
We await the opportunity to interview the “dry cleaning lady” or read your editors’ retraction, and hope, for your editor, either of those acts are done soon.
