There is no smear that is beneath them, no inference or insult out of bounds. Lou Dobbs blesses the birthers while that Elmer Gantry of demagoguery, Glenn Beck, meditates on his mountain and pronounces Obama a racist. An Israeli settler refers to our President as “that Arab,” and worse.


A leftist nut is saying that "Arab" is a smear? Comparable to "racist?" Or...something "worse?" How unintentionally hilarious.

Calling someone “that [your ethnic group here]” usually does convey contempt: “That Arab,” “That Jew,” “That White woman,” etc. Think of FDR: “That cripple in the White House”
