It's quite wonderful, this Townhall piece. Here:
I’m not going to fall back on the old saw "Some of my best friends are black (or Hispanic)."
And then in the very next sentence:
Some of my friends over the years have been black, and my best friend in high school was in fact, a native of Mexico.
Holy tits of Santa.
Whatever. This Townhall git is however instructive insofar as his cluelessness takes us. He wonders why black people voted for Obama, and ends up, no shit, here:
When the Khmer Rouge seized control of Cambodia, they eventually ran out of enemies to lock up, and began arresting seemingly loyal party members out of paranoia and a need to maintain a grip on the country. People with power will do many things to hold on to that power, and if you step out of line, then suddenly, you may become The Other.
Take care that in your zeal you do not become the thing you claim to despise. You may be one complaint away from becoming one of us.
If you think the Democratic Party has become the Khmer Rouge, you've either lost your mind, or you have some special personal reason to be bothered by Reconstruction that involves cheesy vampire fan-fiction. Or, worse, improperly digested family history. In either case, shut it, the rest of us are moving on.
Which brings us, lamentably, to Jonah Goldberg, who informs black people that they are idiots for voting Democratic because the Southern Strategy never happened, Condoleeza Rice did happen, and the GOP didn't openly try to suppress the black vote as long ago as last month.
MAS. Got banned from Chicago Boyz, ochone. For this --
