First a lot of liberals claimed that Obama could never win the election because of the wide-spread racism plaguing America. Then, when the polls said otherwise, they claimed that he wouldn’t win by much because of the racism. And when that happened Bill Maher said sure, he won but he’s not as black as rapper Flavor Flav. As if a genuine racist would vote for a black person as long as his skin was light brown.
And now actress and comedian Janeane Garofalo says the Boston Tea Party protesters are racists because they haven’t protested against the former president and his fiscal imprudence. It seems like the American left are in desperate need of racists. Why is that? Is it because the they can’t offer an alternative and instead cling – hehe – to their old marxist dogma? If you can’t promote yourself you can always slander your opponents.
As a leftist myself, I don’t believe Republicans are very racist at all. And I can fully understand that someone who isn’t as wealthy as Garofalo or Maher doesn’t want to pay high taxes to a lot of corrupt bureaucrats.
The left need to come up with new ideas on how to bring about a more equal society. And those supposedly leftists who are so well off they don’t really want that blessed Change® should stop kidding themselves and just vote Republican, instead of calling other people racists. (Way too long sentence…)

Calling people racists for their political stance is the oldest trick in the book. These people think they will get some mileage from ridiculing other people, but they are wrong. They are actually marginalizing themselves. I predict the formation of a more moderate party in a not too distant future.
I hope you’re right about marginalization; she really rubs me the wrong way. (Although she was pretty good in the film “The Minus Man” so maybe she should stick to acting.)
I think it would be good with more political parties in America. As long as it doesn’t become like here where all parties say more or less the same thing.
You mean as opposed to the current system, where two parties say more or less the same thing?
It’s hard to establish political pluralism, but I think more parties are a necessary – but not sufficient, condition. Although most Swedish parties look the same we have a new one, the Pirate Party, dealing with issues about filesharing, privacy and similar questions.
No, the Liberals and their minority “tenants” are left in desperate need of racism. Americans have no such need and no agenda requiring such perfidy.
