The National Review goes back to it's roots as a racist, anti-Brown vs. Board of Education kind of publication with this call for an investigation of Obama's parents:
Time for some investigative journalism about the Obama family's background, now that his chances of being president have increased so much.
Why does Lisa Schiffern want to get all Michelle Malkin on Obama's ass and tell us what brand of bathtub Obama floated his rubber duckies in?
[Interracial marriage] was, of course, an explicit tactic of the Communist party to stir up discontent among American blacks, with an eye toward using them as the leading edge of the revolution.
Of course it was, Lisa, you racist asshole....
Actual picture of Lisa Schiffern of the National Review Online as she contemplates Communist infiltration of our country.
I don't know how Barak Obama's parents met. But the Kincaid article referenced above makes a very convincing case that Obama's family, later, (mid 1970s) in Hawaii, had close relations with a known black Communist intellectual. And, according to what Obama wrote in his first autobiography, the man in question — Frank Marshall Davis — appears to have been Barack's own mentor, and even a father figure. Of course, since the Soviet Union itself no longer exists, it's an open question what it means practically to have been politically mentored by an official Communist. Ideologically, the implications are clearer.
For Lisa Schiffern, Black Men and White Women can't get together because, you know, they like LOVE each other. They got together in the 1960's because NIKITA KHRUSCHEV WANTED THEM TO in order to end the American Way of Life:
And yet, all of my mixed race, black/white classmates throughout my youth, some of whom I am still in contact with, were the product of very culturally specific unions. They were always the offspring of a white mother, (in my circles, she was usually Jewish, but elsewhere not necessarily) and usually a highly educated black father. And how had these two come together at a time when it was neither natural nor easy for such relationships to flourish? Always through politics.
My Asshole to English translator renders the above as:
Obama Mama: Commie Jew
Obama Daddie: Commie Terrorist Muslim Traitor
Lisa Schiffern even introduces me to a new term - the "red diaper baby". And naturally, that such a thing was brought to the public's attention is Clinton's fault:
During the Clinton Administration we were all introduced to then U. of Pennsylvania Professor Lani Guinier — also a half black/half Jewish, red diaper baby.
With Mark Steyn and his fever dreams of a World Wide Caliphate, Doughy Pantload and his "Hillary is worse than Hitler" schtick, John "those cowards who didn't shoot back deserved to die" Derbyshire and now Lisa "I'm a racist piece of shit and don't care who knows it" Schiffern, the National Review Online can only be understood to be a post-ironic Onion for the 21st Century.
Parody is the only way the National Review makes any sense anymore.
