Where oh where did Democrats get the idea that Republicans might attempt to "scare" white voters about Barack Obama's race?
Well, ...history is one place
And here today to continue that history of race-baiting, WorldNetDaily's Craig Smith:
If Barack Obama is to become our 44th president, it will be heralded as a moment of historic significance unlike any other. However, I think many are missing the real reason why.
It's because Barack Obama will be our first hip-hop president.
Read on...
I can only imagine how the world will embrace the leader of the free world when he introduces other foreign leaders with, "give it up for my man Vladimir." Giving "props" for joining us in a treaty. Or the first lady Michelle talking about "my man" the "daddy of my babies" when referring to the president. That should go over well everywhere from 10 Downing Street right on down to the streets of the Middle East.
The use of ghetto slang during the primaries and even today may be a clear indication just how the Obamas intend to "roll" if given the privileged seat in the Oval Office. Of course, having no sense of decorum and awe is nothing new to Democrats. Bill Clinton did a masterful job of disgracing the office, and I expect no less from Obama if given the chance.
But he will be so fly!
I can see it now. Air Force One decked out with "22s" and spinners. Maybe even a set of hydraulics. Watching the hip-hop president in the Oval Office with his baseball cap on backward coping a gansta lean in the big chair. Should be really pimp, don't you think? Cool man, real cool. Instead of giving away presidential cuff links to guests, as is the custom, he will offer "bling bling."
Frankly, it's pretty obvious that Barack Obama is a better writer and I'd guess he's probably a less colloquial speaker than Craig Smith. But Smith sees a black guy and thinks they're all 50 Cent. Or Flavor Flav. Or The Kingfish. How is Smith expected to tell all those black people apart, since they all look so much the same--all that blackness and all? Sure, Barack Obama might look acceptable now, but Smith isn't fooled and knows there's a thug beneath those three piece suits just waiting to get out.
If Craig Smith is still writing for WorldNetDaily by Monday, then it's an objectively racist publication and, by the right's new "Obama-was-in-a-room-with-Bill-Ayers-which-means-they're-tied-together-forever standard," the rest of its columnists have the choice of resigning in protest. Otherwise they are tacitly admitting their own racism.
