Can you tell us why should we feel better? I can’t get myself to read any more of this dumb article.
What a load of crap!!!
0bama and his regime, including the wookie, have been hiding their hatred for this Country behind the race card for far too long! Time to call his bluff!
We have come a long way, now not only can a black man be President, but if you criticize him or his self indulgent wife it’s because you’re racist or ignorant of history.
Mr. Cohen seems unaware that in the world he desires, one ruled by Michelle’s ethos, he would be on the receiving end of her whip.
What's the matter Richard Cohen? No time to actually read the book yourself? Have to rely on the fax "report" eminating from Axelrod's War Room? No time to verify the quote yourself?
Sheesh! This guy calls himself a journalist?
This from Richard Cohen, who has loads of character. Just ask Devon Spurgeon? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/733615/posts
It’s official! Stupidity is NOT typical nor reserved for blondes like Cindy and Meghan McCain. Richard Cohen is not a blonde, but he would make a good one!!
--------------------- Read the g*d d*mm book if you want to report about it.
Otherwise , you're just gossip mongering
Wanna piss off a liberal? Repeat back to them exactly the crap that comes out of their mouths. It makes their eyes bulge and hair stand on end.
"How DARE you take what I say literally!"
Supposedly infamous remark? Nobody has challenged that report so far. You breaking some news here Dick? Or just breaking wind.
Wait, didn’t Michelle grow up in Chicago? I thought only the South was guilty of prejudice and racism...?
We all know what she meant and it wasn't voter turnout. That sign stood out in his memory because he hadn't seen one before so it was unusual for him, yet he's ranting about poor MO being put down by da man. MO wouldn't be born for another dozen years. In fact, MO wouldn't grow into her un-proud adulthood until the 80s. She probably never saw a colored sign in her whole life but she certainly has carried that perceived chip on her shoulder.
Cohen displays an amazing ignorance of apartheid.
Somebody forgot the BARF alert.
Yeah, Sarah was really way off on those death panels. Maybe you should tell your fellow clymer Krugman to dummy up about them, eh Cohen?
Cohen knows full well that Palin understands the history of black people in this country. We all do. So his basic premise is a lie.
What really upsets him is that Palin — and most of middle America — rejects the liberal dogma that America is morally stained by its history and can only be redeemed by jettisoning its traditional of itself as exceptional and good, and by taking up redistributive liberal social policies.
In other words, Cohen cheaply frames his point as though it’s about Palin’s “ignorance”, but in fact it’s an attack on the notion of American exceptionalism. And actually he’s trying to tie the two together — i.e. that if you believe in American expceptionalism or the basic goodness of American, then you are ignorant.
Anyone who is not ignorant about history knows that virtually every ethnic group on earth can trace its ancestry back to slavery at some point in time.
Uh, old liberal writer guy, it’s 2010 and the President is a black/white mix raised in Indonesia. It’s not 1860 or 1954. Michelle said it was the first time she was ever proud of her country in 2008 . . . and she’s an unAmerican liberal jerk with no understanind of our nation or its people to have said that.
Turn that headline around there and you might have something.
