…would accuse Arthur Silber of racism?
It’s as ridiculous - no, INSANE - as accusing him of homophobia, for example.

No, seriously, who would do such a thing?? When I read that Silber’s piece a few days ago, I kept asking myself that question, especially since Arthur seemed to be genuinely hurt by the accusations, and I have to admit… I had a mental image of a horde of indignant Kossacks descending en masse on Arthur’s blog.

I might be wrong, but… the description seems to fit:
“It is indisputable that those who traffic in unsupported, baseless charges of racism are not concerned with the truth in the slightest degree. The pathetic truth is that they attack those who offer accurate assessments of Obama because those who reveal the fact that Obama stands only for the status quo — the white status quo — are interfering with their plans for electoral victory. That’s the sum of their concerns. There is an obvious question about victory which can only purchased by the payment of lies and what such a victory is worth. Beyond this, one might wonder why they are so desperate to see a man elected who represents no change at all, and who accepts conventional wisdom and establishment views on every matter of importance.
…
If the accusers were not vicious in such an ugly manner, and if they did not lie so consistently, I would almost feel sorry for them. As it is, their irresponsibility and carelessness, and the zeal with which they seek to destroy others, are entirely unforgivable and completely disgusting.”

what I said since the race-baiting started: It’s gonna come back and bite Obama on the ass.

There is an old fable about “crying wolf.”

Fables were meant to be lessons; a way to impart wisdom. The protagonist in that particular fable didn’t get a happy ending, he became a happy meal.

“Just say NO! to Kool-aid.”

anyway, since they’re never hesitant to use race and racial stereotypes—they always do it against all Dems, and even against their own—like McCain in 2000.
