I'm sure New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd and former President Jimmy Carter derive a great deal of self-satisfaction slandering other people with false charges of racism, but the damage they're doing to race relations is worse than any bona fide racist could dream of doing.
I ask you: Who is more likely racist, the person who sees race every time she turns around or the person who aspires toward colorblindness? Could those always pointing the accusatory finger be projecting their own discomfort with race?
Listen to how Maureen begins her snarky Sept. 12 column, in which she posited that Rep. Joe Wilson's "you lie" outburst was driven by racism. She writes: "Surrounded by middle-aged white guys -- a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own men's club -- Joe Wilson yelled 'You lie!' at a president who didn't. But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!"
I don't know whether "middle-aged white guys" and "their own men's club" flow more from some bitter feminist strain Dowd seems to possess or her liberal obsession with the superficial aspects of people's differences in pigment, but it is nonetheless bizarre.
Why is it that Dowd sees race in the politicians sitting beside Joe Wilson? And why is she compelled to make "white guys" a pejorative? In her world, to be white and male is to be guilty. Well, I reject the charge, thank you, and would appreciate a little due process before condemnation by such self-proclaimed open-minded liberals as Dowd.

They’re covering up their own racist feelings by throwing the R word at their enemies
Yes, indeed!
Projecting their own biases on to critics of Obama.
No mention of the issues; only the name calling.
Typical liberal technique. WELL! It’s not working.
Maybe cause none of them called for a second date?
Those who decry racism are rarely cognizant of their own bigotry.
that is what's so great about it, that smug self righteousness used to be the province of Church Lady.
Carter is the lowest, skankiest, most vile, illogical racist race monger that ever lived.
ESAD.
No wonder she can’t get...a date.
I would like to know if instead of 0bama, Hillary had been the democratic nominee and Michael Steele had run for the office and had gotten the Republican nomination would Dowd have voted for Steele because he is black? I seriously doubt it. So who is the racist? You decide
Cheers!
