This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain:

Charles Blow, the NY Times’ once-a-week “visual Op-Ed columnist,” is out...

Hate Springs Eternal, by Paul Krugman (emphasis mine):

“Racism, misogyny and character assassination are all ways of distracting voters from the issues, and people who care about the issues have a shared interest in making the politics of hatred unacceptable.”

Racism, misogyny, character assassination, and the politics of hatred. Sounds like a Eugene...

The Washington Post, among other mainstream media outlets, relentlessly stokes claims that Tea Partiers are racist.

Eugene Robinson accuses almost everyone who opposes the Obama agenda — but particularly those active in the Tea Party movement — of being motivated by racism and prone to violence.

That is why my first reads in the morning are Politico:

And Chris Cillizza:

 Without them, I wouldn’t know what to think.

Dana Milbank argues that conservatives are hypocritical in seeking government involvement in the Gulf oil cleanup, Through oil-fouled water, big government looks better and better:

There is something exquisite about the moment when a conservative decides he needs more government in his life….

It may have taken an ecological disaster, but the gulf-state...

One of the arguments raised against the Arizona immigration law (in addition to it being the modern incarnation of Nazism) was that states had no authority under the U.S. Constitution to conduct their own immigration policies.

So I presume we will hear howls of constitutional outrage against New York Governor David Paterson,...

My my, how Paul Krugman worries that our President may come under criticism from the vast right-wing conspiracy for the Eight Days In April.

It is over-the-top and out-of-control when it comes to the Arizona immigration bill recently signed. Not the law itself, but the reaction.

Politico has figured out that “Obama the uniter” never existed.

Obama created momentum by identifying enemies against whom to campaign, and has continued that practice in office. The only change is that in an earlier incarnation, the enemies were groups, whereas now the enemies are individuals.

As characterized by Politico:

Once chastised for not...

There are many voices of hate, but the voices most ignored by the mainstream media come not from Tea Parties or maligned conservative groups, but from the intolerant left.

After someone who did commercial voice-overs for Geico was fired for leaving threatening messages at FreedomWorks (which has supported the Tea Parties), a...

“Marc Ambinder is the politics editor of The Atlantic. He has covered Washington for ABC News and the Hotline, and he is chief political consultant to CBS News.”

Given Ambinder’s shoulder-deep mainstream media plumage, I was shocked to read that Ambinder thinks conservatives have gone mad.

Much as I contemplated giving you a...

Oh, the world they live in. Surrounded by enemies, they sit in their guarded lairs waiting for “the other” to approach.

And then it happens. The guards are no more, and they must face the menacing horde. Alone with their paranoia and hypocrisy and thousand dollar espresso makers.

As chronicled by the...

For two years, opponents of Obama’s agenda have been painted by the mainstream media, left-wing blogs and Democratic leadership as racist and extremist white supremacists.

The charges are malicious and false, as documented here dozens of times.

So what happens when there is a real white supremacist, neo-nazi rally? Almost no one notices.

As...

Mea Culpa — The second incident referred to below was by Kelly O’Donnell, not Norah O’Donnell. My mistake, corrected below. The point remains the same.

New Year, same plans to crash Tea Parties in order to create a pretext for the non-stop Democratic smear machine which seeks to paint all opposition to Obama’s agenda as racist and extremist.

We saw this last April, as I documented in my post When Fascism Comes To America, It Will Look...
