The new racial divide

Asked Feb 26, 2009, 11:23 AM — 33 Answers
It's becoming clear that the racial divide is not only not healed by the election of the nation's first black president, the left plans on widening the gap. From Gloria Borger of CNN's remark that "right now, quite frankly, the Republican Party looks more like the Confederacy," to what appears to be a now removed post from yesterday with a similar reference, to Chris Matthews explanation of his "oh God" crack when Bobby Jindal was introduced on MSNBC on Tuesday, the new line is to divide the nation between Obama and his supporters and the GOP "confederacy."
I was taken aback by that peculiar stagecraft, the walking from somewhere in the back of this narrow hall, this winding staircase looming there, the odd anti-bellum look of the scene. Was this some mimicking of a president walking along the state floor to the East Room?
I guess Chris "thrill up his leg" Matthews didn't know the Louisiana governor's mansion was built in 1963 when Democrat Jimmie Davis - who fought for racial segregation - was governor, but that's another story. Matthews was probably too busy "outsourcing" his research to know that.

Is that what we can expect more of from the left, talking up the new GOP "confederacy"? Is the left really interested in racial harmony?

I'll stand by that characterization, and include the Rev. Wright and the rest of his left wing cadre. The essential element of anyone being characterized a Nazi is his love of socialism, which Barack fully embraces. You aren't suggesting Hitler was a libertarian, are you? I haven't heard anyone suggest Barack is a libertarian, or did I miss that NY Times interview?

You really mean, 're-education', right? So I could become a "Decent American having turned away from the Confederate brand of hate politics in favor of having shelter, food, jobs, self-respect, and integrity"? No thanks.
