Racist Rhetoric Against the Left is Back in Fashion!

Another 2nd Amendment, anti-immigration, anti-welfare racist.




And I quote:

"Barack Hussein Obama, Mmm, Mmmm, mmm. You've been called the chosen one, the Messiah, an African god, a post-racial president, Barack the Magic Negro."

First you notice the emphasis on the middle name, trying to stress a tie to Obama as other or foreign, especially hitting on the intense pop-cultural chord of Saddam Hussein . I guess that's really more just xenophobia.
But then it gets downright cookoo. Obama has probably been called all those things. However, only one of those was by his supporters, the rest were used by right-scream-media talkers like Rush Limbaugh, Rush Limbaugh, and Rush Limbaugh.

There are even internet smear campaigns that take people's remarks out of context in order to claim that liberals actually believe this nonsense. (Remind you of anyone else?)

The only one he was called by supporters? Post-racial.
But I think it's important to note that the media questioned if Obama would/could be a post-racial president, and mostly the echo chamber of the right likes to repeat the talking points touting him as failing to live up to this goal. But in fact, Obama admitted in 2007 that just being the first non-white president couldn't transform the political environment that much.  But like every other time he has admitted that race was a problem in America, the screamers call him racist.

Another low point is at the 3:10 mark, when this cowardly (notice how his name isn't on-screen and he doesn't introduce himself) reactionary says

"Who are the pissed off people in this country? Well the pissed off people sir, are the white people. It's the white people stupid. It's taken 50 years of having things shoved down our throats, that we've now had enough."

Hmmm, 50 years ago? What could he be talking about?  Disgusting.
I also find the phrase "shoved down our throats" interesting, because that's the same language that was used by people afraid that poor blacks might get health care. Is this a new racial dog whistle?

I know this one guy isn't representative of everyone in the Tea Party, but this type of hate can be found in huge dosages.  And instead of acknowledging it and purging this racism, the Tea Party denies it, and at best ignores it, if not embraces it. It is a cudgel and a crutch. It is the Southern Strategy. And the GOP and the right-scream media are helping. The bogus Sherrod scandal, the bogus New Black Panthers menace, and the ACORN hoax. It just goes on and on. So much for post-racial American politics. But I'm sure Megyn Kelly and Michelle Malkin et al will blame Obama again. Because, of course, racism never existed before a non-white President was in office.
