Black Thugs Beat White Student on Bus in St. Louis

The American Prospect is running a despicable piece today, "Stuff Some White People Don't Like: The Right's Animosity Toward Obama Isn't About Fascism or Socialism - It's About Racism."

Actually, what whites don't like is getting beaten in unprovoked attacks by gangs of black thugs. Racism? That's bull. The real racism we've been seeing since last year's Democratic primaries is on the left. But, as is typical now on the left, basically any substantive differences conservatives have with President Obama can only be chalked up to "racism." It's a sickening indication of how down and low leftists have devolved. As Peter Wehner has argued, with reference to Maureen Dowd's allegations that Joe Wilson is racist:

... the charges of racism we are now seeing are evidence of a movement that is getting a bit desperate and more than a bit angry. The trouble is that throwing around the term racism with such promiscuity dilutes the charge and makes it less potent when it is really needed. It is yet one more example of the harmful effects of contemporary liberalism.

The fact is, the racist incidents we see these days are when when white SEIU thugs beat black conservatives or when a bus full of young black hoodlums beat a white classmate in an unprovoked racial assault. In other words, Democratic racism. There's a thread at Memeorandum.

Hat Tip: Blog Prof, "Video: White Student Beaten On School Bus To Cheering Crowd." And The Rhetorican, "I Have the Strong Urge to Blame Maureen Dowd ...": "I think it’s safe to say that Obama has not ushered in a post-racial era just yet."
