I am reminded of a conversation earlier this year with an affluent 40ish liberal two time Obama voter, whom I have referred to in the past on these pages.
We were discussing a range of issues and topics related to his favorite wouldbe dictator. Specifically, with reference to the strong opposition to this president’s policies by conservatives and skepticism by many “folks” regarding the refusal by Obama to publicly release for objective scrutiny his birth certificate, both views which I share, my acquaintance had a ready explanation.
Present company excepted, of course, he expressed confidence that, at least, a significant amount of such criticism and skepticism had embedded within it a “racist component”.
In the aftermath of political events of the past week, I look forward to our next conversation. I will be interested to learn if my “friend” believes that the massive critical assault on Hispanic Senator Rafael “Ted” Cruz by both the virtuous Democratic Party leadership and the Establishment Republicans, may also be embedded within it a “racist component”?
No! Of course not. Everyone knows that Democrats, if anyone, don’t have a racist bone in their bodies. Present company excepted, of course. (Wonder if La Raza has any thoughts on this.) DLH
