When is Something Racist? When the Left Says It Is
Frontpage Magazine ^ | Jan. 10, 2012 | Mark Tapson

Posted on 01/10/2012 8:42:39 AM PST by Interesting Times

In a short piece in the “Culture Monster” section of the Los Angeles Times, Christopher Knight decries a satirical depiction of the First Lady based on a 1775 portrait of famed French lover of luxury, Marie Antoinette. The image replaces Marie’s face with Mrs. Obama’s, and the young queen’s puffy-sleeved left arm with a bare muscular black arm – clearly a poke at Mrs. Obama’s penchant for going sleeveless to show off her buffed guns. Her right hand points to a spot on a world globe, and the image caption reads “Choosing the next vacation.”

Obviously a pointed commentary on Michelle Obama’s high-end wardrobe and frequent lavish getaways such as a glitzy Spanish jaunt and her family’s recent $4 million, 17-day trip to Hawaii, right? If you think so, then you’re not getting the pic’s overt racism, according to Christopher Knight, and you’re probably racist yourself for laughing at it, according to the left.

Nice overview of the Left's relentless strategy to demonize opponents as racists - and, more recently, as "Islamophobic."

Not if you were thinking of Kevin McHale.

The Democratic party’s undertow is physically destroying America and this is what the left does. We’re gettin’ sidetracked here folks, never ever allow the left any notion of moral superiority. The first lady can have expensive tastes, but remember her fan club in Highland, MI is removing its street lights.

It's typical leftist projection: Accuse the opposition of whatever you're doing.
They do it all the time.

Okay, that photograph has had a lot of help.

Mrs. Obama does not have slim, feminine looking upper arms.

Remember, when pronouncing the word “racist”, the “t” is silent.

When the left does it, it is the “araba spring”.

No, really, so long you are dumb and inferior enslaved to the government, the leftist will love you as part of diversity.

Now, a smart black man or woman is a ... (what did they call Condi Rice? ) black poodle for white people, or something to that extent.

Some may have prejudices but will accept proof of the contrary very much gladly.

True racists hate when the opposite color is smarter than they are.

... and these are both part of the “big tent” of democrates, black or white. Both of them, leftist blacks and whites hate their opposite color in most viral manners when they are smarter than liberals.

Case in point is the “all too humane” book of leftist hypocrite Stephanopoulos. There is not a weak “poor puppy” president he did not love, especialy when he was not greek, but white trash Clinton or ueber garbage fraud homo sand fly (I meant maggot, because flies are a rank above that piece of crap) Obama.
