Obama, the media and racism

I think this picture (h/t Ed Driscoll) pretty much says it all about how the media perceives any criticism of their boyfriend:



If that was clear enough, Howard Kurtz emphasizes the ridiculousness in his latest post. The tip off for Kurtz that the animosity toward Obama is racist... the protesters cite -- the Constitution!!!

But I began to suspect that race was a factor for at least some critics when I heard them shouting about "the Constitution" and "taking our country back." Maybe Obama's health-care plan is an awful idea and his budget is way too big, but how exactly is any of this unconstitutional? Clearly, for some folks, there's a deeper rage at the man occupying the White House.

So questioning the constitutionality is racist. I recall hearing how George Bush was shredding the Constitution; were his critic racists?? And "taking back the country" was a mantra of the left in the last two election cycles.

Beside, all one has to do is examine the media (particularly MSNBC) track record on covering racist issues:

Exhibit A:
We were lectured by L.A. Weekly that the Obama as the Joker picture was racist. Of course it didn't matter that the artist turned out to be a fellow Chicagoan, of Palestinian dissent who supported Dennis Kucinich.

Exhibit B:
MSNBC attempting to show the underlying racism of armed white guys at anti-ObamCare rallies. Didn't even slow them down that the protester they reported on was actually black.

Now, for you hyperventilating media types -- some free advise to help you sort racism from criticism. Ask yourselves this question: Would Hillary have had an easier time if she pushed these policies ??

It's not like the the Republicans kept their powder dry with her husband either. Some of the media might even recall that they actually impeached his lying ass.
