Ann Coulter: OBAMA'S POLL NUMBERS DOWN, IMAGINARY RACISM UP (Libs Stumble/Mumble Over Race!)

OBAMA'S POLL NUMBERS DOWN, IMAGINARY RACISM UP
July 21, 2010


The Democrats are depressed about their collapsing poll numbers, so it's time to start calling conservatives "racist."



As we now know from the Journolist list-serv, where hundreds of liberal journalists chat with one another, and which was leaked to Daily Caller this week, journalists cry "racism" whenever they need to distract from bad news for Obama. (Ironically, this story did not make headlines.)

When the Rev. Jeremiah Wright scandal broke during the 2008 campaign, the first response of Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent was to demand that they start randomly picking conservatives -- "Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares -- and call them racists."

Ackerman, frequent guest on MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show," continued on Journolist:

"What is necessary is to raise the cost on the right of going after the left. In other words, find a rightwinger's [sic] and smash it through a plate-glass window. Take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let the right know that it needs to live in a state of constant fear. Obviously I mean this rhetorically."

This is what "racism" has come to in America. Democrats are in trouble, so they say "let's call conservatives racists." We always knew it, but the Journolist postings gave us the smoking gun.

This explains why we've heard so much about Tea Partiers being "racists" lately.



But despite a frantic search, the media have been unable to produce any actual evidence of racism at the Tea Parties. Even the trace elements are either frauds or utterly trivial.

For example, there was blind terror last week over a Tea Party billboard in northern Iowa that showed a picture of Adolf Hitler, Obama and Vladimir Lenin under the headings: "National Socialism," "Democratic Socialism" and "Marxist Socialism."

Overheated? Perhaps. Racist? No. Unless liberals are about to break the news that Lenin and Hitler were black, what we have here, gentlemen, is not racism.

I'm not even sure why liberals are so testy: As an aficionado of liberal talk radio, I've heard both Ed Schultz and Randi Rhodes repeatedly say socialism is terrific. (Given their ratings, this is understandable.)

Most sickeningly, the mainstream media continue to spread the despicable lie that someone called civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis the "N-word" 15 times during the anti-ObamaCare rally in Washington. Fifteen times!

That turned out to be another lie. About a week after the protest, Andrew Breitbart offered a $100,000 reward for anyone who could produce a video of Lewis being called the N-word even once -- forget 15 times. (That's the most we can afford. Hey, who do we look like over here, George Soros?)



Plus, the winner might have his video appear on the new hit TV show, "America's Most Racist Home Videos."

From her site;

Q. You’re often described as “divisive” and “mean-spirited,” yet you describe yourself as a serious Christian. Is this a contradiction?

A. I’m a Christian first and a mean-spirited, bigoted conservative second, and don’t you ever forget it. You know who else was kind of “divisive” in terms of challenging the status quo and the powers-that-be of his day? Jesus Christ.

Q. Does polemical writing like yours widen the Red State-Blue State schism?

A. The imminence of conservative victory has driven liberals to insanity. Have I contributed to this? Gosh, I hope so.

From anncoulter.com:
...And now this week, with the NAACP accusing the Tea Partiers of harboring racists, and conservatives demanding proof, the George Soros-backed Center for American Progress ran a 45-second video allegedly showing racism at the Tea Parties.

One of the videos shows an obvious liberal plant announcing, "I'm a proud racist!" Apparently this was their best shot, because they had to work this video into the montage twice, amid utterly innocuous posters, for example, saying, "God bless Glenn Beck." So I guess they didn't have anything better.

Here's the part Soros' people didn't show you: In the fuller video shown on the Glenn Beck show, the Tea Partiers surrounded the (liberal plant) racist, jeering at him, telling him he's not one of them and to go home.

In a spectacularly evil fraud, all that was edited out. - Ann Coulter

And, from Pookie's Toons (7/21/10)

Here’s a good one:

You often speak and write in a way that seems calculated to press the buttons of your audience. What are the pluses and the downsides of this approach?

My thinking is that only trauma produces intellectual breakthroughs. The plus side is watching liberals get hissy; the downside is - there really is no downside.

What’s most remarkable is not that there are a few immoral kooks like Ackerman, but that they retained the respect of so many “journalist’s” around them.
