Bloodthirsty Liberal

I barely finished writing that the Left would be wise to watch its step when looking to put the boot into John McCain and Sarah Palin when what do they do:

I was listening to an R&B station here in town and they were talking about how McCain didn’t speak about the “issues”. The man on the radio started talking about how Obama will beat McCain in the debates. Another person remarked that people will be paying more attention to the VP debate. Then they referred to Palin as a “crazy white bitch” several times and then called her a librarian stripper.

The folks at 97.1 FM told me it was a nationally syndicated Tom Joyner show from ReachMedia and that they would look into the statements. I cannot find it online, but though you might be able to expose this type of racist discourse.

That’s from a reader at Michelle Malkin’s site. Confirmation to follow.

I will leave it to your imagination to picture how the American public would respond to similar remarks spoken of Michelle Obama.

And while you conjure images of outrage and fury, you might enjoy reading another email Ms. Malkin received:

Why would the Republicans spend a whole night of their convention attacking ordinary people?

With the nation watching, the Republicans mocked, dismissed, and actually laughed out loud at Americans who engage in community service and organizing.

Our convention was different. We gave the stage to everyday Americans who hunger for change and stepped up to make phone calls, knock on doors, and raise money in small amounts in their communities.

…

But what the McCain attack squad doesn’t understand is that people like you — who devote part of their busy lives to organizing and building their communities — have the power to change this country.

With your help, that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Thank you,

Barack

Dear Barack,

Could you be any further out of touch? Republicans don’t laugh at community organizers, they laugh at people who call themselves Community Organizers, as if it were a job. So do a lot of Democrats, come to think of it. To us, community organizing is what you do after you get home from work or on the weekends. I’m thinking of the people who seek my underwriting of their Walk for This Disease or their Bike Ride for That Affliction; the people with petitions outside my local supermarket; the people holding up election signs at the busy intersections; even the people at my kids’ school who are rather fascistically trying to force us into carpools.

But if we’re missing something, perhaps you could enlighten us by telling us exactly what you did in your years as a Community Organizer. If we’re so ignorant, please point out the concrete accomplishments that make the South Side of Chicago so much better organized than before you got there. (CWCID to James Taranto of Best of the Web Today for the sarcastic remark.)

But keep those cards and letters coming!
