Via BuzzFeed, deep thoughts from Rep. Bennie Thompson, adding his two cents on a Nation of Islam radio show to the characteristically thoughtful Conversation About Race that Americas having this week. Its fun listening to this on the same day that Chris Lehane is defending the memo he wrote for the Clinton White House nearly 20 years ago about the vast right-wing conspiracy that was out to take down Billary. Every Democratic president, it seems, is the subject of unprecedented conservative vitriol, although Clinton at least could point to his eventual impeachment as evidence that it was true. Thompsons case for O rests on the idea that it cant, cant be a coincidence that conservatives embraced a strong anti-government ethos right around the time that the first black president took office. Things would, presumably, have been different had Hillary squeaked through the Democratic primaries and beaten McCain in 2008 despite the financial crisis and ensuing mega-bailout, despite the multi-spectrum failure of Bushs second term, despite ideological jitters over the fact that Democrats had assumed total control of government at a moment of deep economic crisis. This guy seemingly cannot imagine anything but a magic-bullet explanation for the complex process of disillusionment by which a political party shifts ideologically. Thats not unusual for liberals, but in the past the magic bullet typically involved economics; Obamas infamous bitter-clinger theory of why rural voters are passionate about religion, guns, and immigration is a classic example. Thompson wanted something cruder. He found it.
Its a cold comfort to know, though, that were headed towards a (relative) golden age under President Hillary, whose whiteness will ensure the sort of muted partisanship and collegial congressional cheer for which Bill Clintons presidency is duly famous. This is just one of two clips, by the way; you can click the link up top and visit BuzzFeed to hear Thompson call Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom in the other, in case you care.

Do these idiots know how stupid that sounds in reality?
(But don't think for a minute they actually believe what they're saying.It's just all part of the communist playbook.)
Most of us don’t like and are opposed to Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin (among other “white” politicians), so is that racism too?
Rep. Benny Thompson does have the appearance of a career TroughFeeder.
Has the girth, too.
Just an observation.
Which of Obama’s policies do you think I’d support if he were white?
Time to reinstate my earlier tagline.
Don’t know about that, let’s stick to the facts. We know he is an incompent, lying, choming, Muslim who hates America.
RACIST!
Exactly.
Well, it does fit with why they’re liberal.
They have their sense of self-righteousness wound around their “liberalism”, so anyone who opposes them is inherently wicked.
Yeah, so what?
Should a white Republican ever be elected to the office of President again, I shall call any criticism by any person of color racist.
BTTT
Criticism of Obama is racist,Only a liberal could have that type of logic no matter how hard they try they can’t hide Obama’s stupidity and their own.
