The Left: A Century of Fostering Racial Tension
Last century's leftist politicos left behind copious evidence of race-card playing. "....I covered a Tea Party event headlined by Cain in suburban Cobb County and then his announcement rally in May in downtown Atlanta.
"At that rally last May I learned something from a gregarious black friend. Spotting my friend’s Uncle Sam hat and Cain buttons, another black man, who was hanging back to blend in with fellow black Atlantans who were at the park for other reasons, struck up a conversation. And then I learned just how much pressure black conservatives feel from fellow blacks. Why it was just about as bad as being on a college campus!
"This is no accident. White radicals have been fostering this kind of infighting for nearly a hundred years. Divide and conquer — according to class, no less for blacks than for whites — has been the modus operandi of the Communist Party since at least the 1920s". (Emphasis added)
Cartoon: Free Republic:
No, Mr. Obama has not significantly played the race card to this date, but many of his supporters (see below) have. And given his propensity to blame everything else for his failures, and the likelihood of his legacy being one of failure, you can count on Mr. Obama blaming racism at some point. I fully expect the closer to the next election we draw, the more we will see Obama divide this country along racial lines. He has already divided America into warring economic classes; don't you think racial enmity is even more firmly embedded in his DNA? TD
Actor Samuel L. Jackson: Tea Party Racism 'Pretty Obvious' ""It’s pretty obvious what they are," Jackson told us. "The division of the country is not about the government having too much power. I think everything right now is geared toward getting that guy out of office, whatever that means," he said, echoing Freeman. "It’s not politics. It is not economics. It all boils down to pretty much to race. It is a shame." "
Quotation in Eric Holder's wallet: 'The Black US Attorney Has Common Cause with the Black Criminal' "According to Department of Justice whistleblower J. Christian Adams, AG Eric Holder has a certain something in his wallet. It is a quotation -- and he has carried it for decades. It essentially says, to quote Adams, "Blackness is more important than anything, and the black US attorney has common cause with the black criminal." It's not surprising that Holder would feel this way about black lawyers and criminals.
"Because in his case they're one and the same."
Allen West to Samuel L. Jackson: Quit Crying Racism and Stick to Movies, Champ "Well, Jackson's smears were bit too much for Rep. Allen West (R-FL) to take lying down. The fiery Congressman -- who is member of both the Tea Party and Congressional Black Caucuses -- appeared on Fox News this morning to upbraid the actor for his remarks and remind viewers whose economic policies have put millions of African-Americans in a world of hurt:" (Video)
Thomas Sowell: Stop Whining'? "How many people in the media have pointed out that the black-white income gap narrowed during the Reagan administration, just as it has widened during the Obama administration? For that matter, how many Republicans have pointed it out?"

Perry & the Macaca Media
Michelle Malkin The media will leave no stone unturned to find evidence of GOP racism
"Another friend, Fred McClure, who is black, also could not recall ever seeing the rock and emphatically added that the paper’s stone-cold insinuation that Perry is a bigot “is not only untrue but also extremely unfair.”"
....
"It stinks to be falsely accused of racism. Maybe Perry, now under siege by the ruthless race-card-playing media, will remember that the next time he’s tempted to accuse conservatives who disagree with him of heartless bigotry."
NRO: Perry Gets Smeared "The Post’s mainstream-media brethren are already calling N-gate a threat to Perry’s candidacy. Certainly it will be a test of Perry’s forcefulness. (In 1991, Thomas passed the test with his famous “high-tech lynching” comment, which rocked Democrats back on their heels.) But this isn’t about Perry. This is about a mainstream media that is more determined to carry water for Democratic smear campaigns than to inform its readers of the real problems facing this nation."
Brent Bozell: Rick's Rock vs. Reverend Wright "But many "minority legislators [read: Democrats] say Perry has a long history — dating to his first race for statewide office more than 20 years ago — of engaging in what they see as racially tinged tactics and rhetoric to gain political advantage.”
"What kind of offensive tactics? Guess what’s listed first: “Black lawmakers have been particularly troubled by Perry’s recent embrace of the tea party movement.”
"By contrast, does anyone recall the Washington Post being the first investigative journalism outfit to reveal the racist and anti-American and anti-Semitic rantings of Rev. Jeremiah Wright in 2007? Of course not."...

Neal Boortz: Demands from the Occupy Wall Street crowd "The Libtards occupying Wall Street have come up with a proposed list of their demands. You are going to enjoy these .. are you ready?"
....
"Let’s let the Occupy Wall Street crowd run Haiti for a few years utilizing these demands and see how well that works out for them. Gawd help us.
"We should make this column by Peter Ferrara required reading for all of the unemployables occupying Wall Street:"
Economic Growth, Not Income Redistribution, Is What Helps Us All
"President Obama’s policies have been all about redistribution, spreading the wealth as he puts it, a polite phrase for plunder. That redistribution is in evidence from ObamaCare, to runaway government spending, to raising tax rates on “the rich.”The Left’s Pathetic Tea Party "Occupy Wall Street is not a real answer. It is both more self-involved and more ambitious than the Tea Party. It represents an ill-defined, free-floating radicalism. Its fuzzy endpoint is a “revolution” no one can precisely describe, but the thrust of which is overturning our system of capitalism as we know it. If elected Democrats dare associate their sagging party with this project, they need immediately to consult their nearest psychiatrist and political consultant, in that order.
The results of those policies are in the latest Census report on September 14. Median real family income has fallen all the way back to 1996 levels. As the Wall Street Journal explained the next day, “Earnings of the typical man who works full time year round fell, and are lower — adjusted for inflation — than in 1978.”"
"Occupy Wall Street is toxic and pathetic, the perfect distillation of an American Left in extremis."
Rich Lowry.
