Saturday Night Card Game (Repeat after me: “The Shirley Sherrod tape was not misleading”)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 03, 2012 23 Comments

With Andrew Breitbart's death this week, one of the most persistent falsehoods has resurfaced, the claim that the original tape released of Shirley Sherrod's speech to an NAACP Chapter was misleading or defamatory in that it did not reveal that Sherrod's discrimination against a white farmer was...

David Frum’s ghoulish attack on Breitbart

Upon hearing of the death of Andrew Breitbart, Breitbart's Twitter nemesis Eric Boehlert of Media Matters sent a respectful and classy tweet: Even Media Matters itself, with whom Breitbart sparred almost daily, issued a respectful statement: Media Matters has a long history with Andrew Breitbart. We've disagreed more...

In addressing the issue of contraception, brought up by John King at the Arizona debate, David Gergen felt compelled to point out something that had nothing to do with the issue, that the candidates are "four white guys" (emphasis mine): But then it has now sort...

Idioms need not apply

Posted by Bryan Jacoutot on February 18, 2012 26 Comments

The film Slavery By Another Name recently was released. It is a moving historical account of the post-emancipation enslavement by another name of blacks through a variety of segregationist and other laws and policies. Unfortunately, but predictably, some used the movie release as an opportunity to score policital...

Hoekstra ad actress recants and begs forgiveness

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 16, 2012 25 Comments

I previously posted regarding Pete Hoekstra's commercial about jobs being shipped to China, and the cries of racism because an Asian woman played the role of an Asian woman in China in the commercial. The woman's identity was outed by a blog called Angry Asian Man,...

From the “can you imagine if a conservative publication did this?” files

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 12, 2012 34 Comments

Can you imagine the uproar if a major conservative publication ran an image like this? The image is from New York Magazine, however, and it's in support of gay marriage, so the response will be muted, Obama Gay Marriage Evolution Watch: Day 468. A writer at WaPo does take...

Saturday Night Card Game (Who should have played the role?)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 11, 2012 25 Comments

I posted earlier in the week about the Super Bowl commercial run by Pete Hoekstra, who is running for Senate from Michigan against Debbie Stabenow. The commercial was part of a DebbieSpendItNow.com campaign highlighting the loss of jobs in Michigan to countries like China. The url now redirects to...

Racist “yellowgirl” html code?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 07, 2012 23 Comments

This could not wait for Saturday Night, because it is just way too bizarre an attempt to turn nothing into a charge of racism. Short background: Pete Hoekstra, running for Senate from Michigan against Debbie Stabenow, ran a commercial in Michigan during the Super Bowl about...

Saturday Night Card Game (If calling Juan Juan is a racial code word, what is calling Wolf Wolf?)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 04, 2012 25 Comments

We have been here before. The accusation that harsh criticism of Barack Obama or his policies constitutes the use of "racially tinged" code words. Invariably, the code word problem is defined in such a way that the accusation is self-fulfilling; the lack of an actual racial...

Saturday Night Card Game (Republican debate was racist before they said a word)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 28, 2012 27 Comments

Haven't had much time to devote to the card game because I'm too busy trying to save the Republican Party from itself. But links are being saved, and I don't want this one to grow stale. It speaks for itself: ...

Saturday Night Card Game (How nasty will the general election race card get? This nasty)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 14, 2012 174 Comments

I was hesitant to post the video below, but since it is receiving a lot of press coverage, particularly in Utah, it's not like I'm helping spread something that's not already out there. And you have to see what is coming down the pike. If you thought 2008...

Saturday Night Card Game (Eric Holder’s race card play was “just words”)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on December 24, 2011 10 Comments

At the Saturday Night Card Game, a man's words are his words. Words matter. And you can't take them back. The players have a long memory, almost as long a memory as the internet. And so it has come to this (emphasis mine): But Mr. Holder contended that many...

Saturday Night Card Game (Ann Coulter plays birther card on Tea Party for not supporting Romney)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on December 17, 2011 57 Comments

"Bombastic" is Ann Coulter's favorite new word in attacking Newt Gingrich. (irony noted) Coulter was on O'Reilly last night lambasting Newt as "bombastic" with no policy accomplishments. Mark Levin, no supporter of Newt, has come to his defense, much as Andrew McCarthy dissented from National Review's hit...

Posted by William A. Jacobson on December 10, 2011 71 Comments

This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: Glenn Beck doesn't like Newt. That didn't keep Newt from appearing on Beck's radio show and taking the hard questions. Beck tried to force Newt into a "Teddy Roosevelt / progressive"...

This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: PRAVDA HITS NEW LOW!!!!! I know, yawn. Everyone knows there is not "truth" in Pravda. But really, how much lower can Pravda go than this article about the Ku Klux Klan which...
