A Fist-full of Race Cards

Aren’t you tired of being called a racist?  First, Jimmy Carter suggests that Americans’ concern with Obama is at its core, about race.  Then Nancy Pelosi starts crying, shamelessly using gay people to suggest that the Tea Party protests  will result in murder and mayhem.  And of course, the news media saw no one of color at the tea party march, although there were plenty.

Jonah Goldberg nailed it in this RealClearPolitics article:

Of all the poisonous, ugly, and intellectually vapid controversies ginned up in my lifetime, the current breakout of St. Vitus’ Dance over the “racist” opposition to Barack Obama may be the most egregious.

Al Sharpton tells CNN’s Larry King that decent and racially sensitive Americans shouldn’t let a small minority make health care into a “racial issue.”

In case you don’t get the joke, this entire “debate” over whether opposition to Obama’s health-care reform is racist is totally, completely, and in every way conceivable an invention of the Left.
