Liberal Raceaholics
National Review ^ | 10 Dec 2014 | Deroy Murdock

How does one explain liberals’ relentless obsession with race? Democrats and left-wing activists clutch the notion of racism as America’s defining characteristic just as streetcorner drunks cling to their fifths of cheap booze. No matter what, neither community can unhand those bottles.

In fact, this debilitating liberal addiction deserves a name: raceaholism.

Advertisement Raceaholics like President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, New York mayor Bill de Blasio, overexposed circus barker Al Sharpton, Georgetown University professor Michael Eric Dyson, their allies, and their media enablers cannot stop talking about race. They refract almost every issue through that prism. According to them, we shall not overcome our long history of racial injustice — or at least no time soon. If you believed these people, you would think “whites only” and “colored” water fountains were just one roll-call vote away in the GOP House of Representatives. The raceaholics want Americans to fear that the burning crosses and lynchings will return as soon as the evening sun goes down. Raceaholics wear fact-proof vests, which facilitate their addiction.

Less than a month after becoming this country’s first black attorney general, Eric Holder harshly scolded the American people: “Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards,” Holder told Justice Department employees on February 18, 2009. He claimed that “we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race.” He added, “If we are to make progress in this area, we must feel comfortable enough with one another, and tolerant enough of each other, to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us.”

When I’m asked why I’m no longer a Democrat, I say the party left me.

The actor Charlton Heston was a liberal Democrat most of his life and it changed for him like it did for most Americans when the radical left took over the Democratic Party.

It seems like a lifetime ago we were all fighting in the same trenches for equality, equal treatment under the law and justice. Today the Democrats fight for racial spoils, special treatment and the rule of the mob.

All things every American is against. And if we don’t agree to it, we get labeled racist. I’m fed up with the threats, the whining and the blackmail. My attitude being, let the Left do its worst. Our country deserves much better.

When I lived in Minnestoopid, lefties there believed that there were cross burnings in front of the Houston TX city hall every Saturday night.

It is within this context of the extreme, over-the-top addiction to race-baiting of the Democrat Party that one can understand why they might be behind a massive slander operation against Cosby.

Cosby railing against the Black Plantation, as a famous, successful, wealthy and respected LIBERAL Black man, ius an absolute catastrophe to the Rats.

Then you add his new TV show and an upcoming election, plus letting in millions of Mexicans to compete for Black government perks, and Cosby had to go - in whatever way possible.
