Merely a Diversion

Congress needs to stop the grandstanding diversions like Joe Wilson and get their heads into what we pay them to do. Their passive-aggressive activity just succeeds in making them look immature and incapable of determining important priorities.

Barack Obama may be the greatest setback to racial relations the country has seen in the last 75 years and it’s being caused by his own supporters. The term “racist” is being screamed from the halls of Congress to the pulpits of neighborhood churches by liberals who are desperate to stop the bleeding of their liberal causes. They have all been put on notice…anything goes! As Saul Alinsky writes in Rules for Radicals, “In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt.” Bill Clinton used the tactic in the 1990’s:

After the [Clinton] Administration's fundraising scandal broke, a Commerce Department memo recommended attacking Republicans and other critics of the scandal as being anti-Asian. ---National Center for Public Policy Research Arturo Silva, June 1977.)

Now they are at it again, using Jimmy Carter as the herald. Carter has made such outrageous statements in the past few years that one must wonder if his thought processes have deteriorated even further than when he was in office. However, he can throw “racist” into the fray for the liberals without damaging their own public image, so they pulled him out onto public stage yet one more time.
