Of course, the more likely explanation is that they’re all bat guano insane, as well as constantly hearing racism as projection
(Washington Examiner) The job of many liberal journalists these days apparently is to discern veiled Republican racism wherever they can find it –or make it up.
The Washington Post’s Harold Meyerson, for instance has a tired column today asserting that “today’s Republican Party represents the worst traditions of the South’s dankest backwaters.†Basically opposing tax hikes and greenhouse-gas emission caps show the GOP’s roots in white racism, or something.
Meanwhile Jack Hitt at Harpers rolls out a Republicans-are-Racist charge that involves ignoring all the relevant facts.
The WE’s Timothy P. Carney goes on to explain just how stupid and factually dishonest the Harper’s piece was, in somehow saying that because Republicans were chanting USA during the speech of a Hispanic woman there was dog whistle racism involved. Of course, then facts came out. Read the whole thing.
