OLBERMANN AND GARAFOLO: Playing the Racist Game

[Coronita]

afx,

this is a serious question…

So help me complete this political attack without sounding racist..

If I can say “Bush is as dumb as a monkey”

what can i fill in the blank here without sounding like a racist “Obama is as dumb as a _____”

By that standard, isn’t calling obama “dumb” racist by that standard? Afterall, in the past white people thought black people were inferior.

Does this mean, any sort of attack on Obama on his intelligence is racist too?

I see nothing more than a double standard here.

Les assume that Obama was not black, but instead Jewish. Would there be a difference between saying “Throw Bush into a furnace” and “Throw Obama into a furnace” ???

Doornail? Tree? Slug? Worm? — none of which have racial connotations.

No, because intelligence has nothing to do with race. Attack away at his intelligence!

I don’t know. Somehow, I think calling a white person a redneck is pretty racist…

I got into an argument with a black friend of mine because he saw nothing ‘derogatory’ about calling me a cracker, even in jest. However, if I dropped an N bomb on him, ‘even in jest’ he threw a hissy fit.

Double Standard? You Bet!
