Democrats Hold a Terrible Hand of Race Cards
American Thinker.com ^ | July 16, 2019 | Brian C. Joondeph

Name calling is the last refuge for one losing an argument. Much like a roundhouse punch that hits nothing but air, it’s a final effort in a losing fight. But it’s also been the one reliable punch for Democrats, playing the race card against opponents.

Not so much now, however. Shouting, “You’re a racist!” has been the preferred comeback for Democrats on the losing side of an argument. Alternatives to the word racist include Nazi, bigot, fascist, homophobe, sexist, and so on, but racist has the best quick jab-like sting.

Sometimes name calling can fall flat, as in calling Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh a sexist or misogynist, as Democrats did in his confirmation hearings. In reality he is the first Supreme Court justice to hire an entirely female group of clerks, something even the “Notorious RBG,” hero of the left, hasn’t done.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the latest Democrat finding herself holding a bad hand of race cards. Cards dealt by none other than the de facto Speaker of the House Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Here we all thought Pelosi was the face of liberalism, properly progressive on everything from abortion and taxes to global warming and immigration.

Yet Pelosi is not woke enough for “the squad”, four freshmen representatives representing the communist wing of an already far left Democrat party. I speak of AOC and her socialist sisters, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.

de facto Speaker of the House Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

They're going to have to change the title to Yapper of the House, or Whinnier, or something.

The RATS are demonstrably USELESS so the race card and name calling are all they have. Like immature school children filled with hate.

Keep them talking.

What did "Q" say about this week making history? I think much of it already happened on Monday. The press conference by "The Squad" turned into a public-relations disaster for most outside the "blue bubble."

The problem is that, especially across the aisle, some are very skittish and very susceptible, thus they cower at the mere threat of being hit with the race card, in particular. That is why it can be effective and is still in use.

Democrats always played the race card. That is all the cards they have now. Why do democrats not actually try to make America better? That might create new topics for them to talk about instead of race / nationality>

To shut them up POTUS needs to ask Omar where her father is. No wonder these people want open borders.

This is why the Democrats and their media allies have defended the “Squad” by using the word “racist” over 2,000 times in the last 2 days, instead of trying to defend their anti-American rhetoric, which is indefensible. Hence, “Trump is a racist”!

Racism is their history! It is who they are! They are the rebranded slave holder, and Ku Klux Klan members of yesterday. It is their heritage.

And they, as they always do is point their collective finger at the conservatives and accuse them of doing EXACTLY what the democrats are , and always have, doing.

They were able to change this image effectively in the 60 with the expansion of welfare and the black families disintegrated. An the black community thanked them for the welfare benefits and have been in the democrats camp ever since.

Name calling is the last refuge for one losing an argument.

And I guess they are really losing it this time, as illustrated by the media using the term racist 363 times yesterday, sheesh, talk about overblown.

‘rats have been calling people they disagree with “racists” for at least fifty years - it’s time those so accused yawn once, mumble “so what”, and move back to whatever points they were making that got the poor lefties upset to begin with.....

It is not the Democrats in office I am worried about. It is the people who elect them
