George Will: The Obama Administration’s Constant Claims of Racism Are Becoming a Joke
Breitbart.com ^ | 13 Apr 2014

Posted on 04/13/2014 1:05:40 PM PDT by Hotlanta Mike

On "Fox News Sunday," Washington Post columnist George Will criticized Attorney General Eric Holder who claim racism is behind his political adversaries' attacks:

“Liberalism has a kind of Tourette Syndrome these days," Will said. "It's constantly saying the words racism and racist. There’s an old saying, 'If you have the law on your side, argue the law. If you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. If you have neither, pound the table.' This is pounding the table. There’s a kind of intellectual poverty now. Liberalism hasn’t had a new idea since the 1960s, except Obamacare, and the country doesn’t like it."

"Foreign policy is a shambles from Russia to Iran to Syria to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," he added. "And, the recovery is unprecedentedly bad. So, what do you do? You say anyone who criticizes us is a racist. It’s become a joke among young people. You go to a campus where this kind of political correctness reigns and some young person says, ‘It looks like it’s going to rain.’ And, the person next to him looks and says, ‘You’re a racist.’ It’s so inappropriate. The constant invocation of this that it is becoming a national mirth."

Obama and his ilk did promise revenge. They are giving it in spades (can I say that?)

The commie ‘RATS have worn out the race card using it to defend the failed communist Obama regime. It’s up to the American people to make sure that it remains worn out and ineffective. It’s also time to dump the commie liberals’ other popular tool that they are using to destroy America, political correctness.

I don't think so. Sure, conservatives have always known it's a lie. But now the whole country is starting to catch on and starting to treat it as a joke.

I do crap like this all the time, usually when someone asks me to read something, I respond with: That’s pretty racist of you to assume I can read.

"Apparently George never heard the story of the boy who cried wolf."

Maybe not the best analogy. At the end of the story there was a real wolf.

To: what's up

Half of this country will continue to play the race card as long as a black man is president. And that includes white racists who will vote for a black man before voting for a conservative.

Revenge for what?

I would have preferred no slavery myself. All of the black population in America would be dead or stuck in Muslim Africa.

There, I said it.
