Breitbart.com Attacks Me

By Sally Kohn On March 11, 2012 · 6 Comments

I guess this means I’m popular… Ahem:

Kohn is also being ridiculous for suggesting Bell isn’t broadly viewed as radical. It’s a well established fact, something noted by other black professors and pundits formerly of Bell’s acquaintance. It’s as if she wants to simply put her fingers in her ears and say, “unh uh, no he’s not” — that’s not an argument, it’s ignorance. I’m also unaware of where anyone has claimed he was aggressive; though that’s where Kohn gives her real agenda — it’s actually Saul Alinsky’s — away

It’s funny to me that FreedomWorks made Alinky’s “Rules for Radicals” mandatory reading for its Tea Party activist trainings, not so that conservatives could learn the alleged tricks of the left but so that they could use effective organizing tactics themselves. But somehow, critiquing our democratically formed government — even threatening to secede or “overthrow” said government — is considered patriotic, while critiquing our society for persistent, institutional racism is anti-American.

From his Harvard protests, to Obama gaining the White House, what Alinksy-ite progressives do is reveal only enough of their radicalism, or real agenda, that the political environment will allow at any one point in time. If Obama had been vetted in 2008, he may well have not won the White House. So, they didn’t let it happen. Sorry, Ms. Kohn. That, and nothing more than that, is precisely what is happening now. Deal with it; or put your fingers back in your ears and say, “nuh uh.”

Yes, you caught us. The videotape of President Obama at the Harvard rally was included in documentaries in 2008 and 2009 and referenced in the New York Times, Newsweek and the Boston Globe in 2008, but yeah, if you can’t find your ass from your elbow then maybe you consider the video hidden. And the Right did “vet” the President by turning up every single possible piece of criticism against him, none of which swayed the majority of voters.

But now that the economy is slowly but steadily improving and the President’s re-election prospects are looking stronger by the day, conservatives are desperately trying to smear the President any way they can. While I don’t always see eye to eye with the President on everything, I’m quite honored to be standing on his side against this absurd and highly race-based attack.

Strong criticisms of Obama’s policies does in no way show that they are race-based attacks. To claim so truly belittles real racism. I wonder if you claimed that all of the criticisms that Obama voiced against Bush were race-based.

  It is no surprise that you so grossly mischaracterize legitimate criticism of Obama. You said Republicans have “gone after” Planned Parenthood and contraception when they simply are not in favor of federal funding of PP and contraception. There is a very clear distinction. No doubt you said that Bush was against stem cell research when the fact is that he simply didn’t want tax dollars going toward funding it. Another distinction that you purposely misrepresent.

    Pat-
    Consider the source of the criticism, the date of the ‘incident’ and why did it surface now ?
    Hmmmmmmm ….. Now, put your thinking cap on and think real hard ….
    Oh ya, try being truthful to yourself, for a change.

The race card is always the last bastion of a liberal who is out of arguments. I always wonder which half of Mr Obama we are supposed to be against because of color. He is after all half white. Conservatives don’t want him to be a one term president because of his color but because he is a crappy president. The only way race comes into it is when the true racists, the liberals use it as a fall back since they have no other line of defense.

  In some cases, that may be true, cat. Not here, tho.
  
  And that you can’t even acknowledge the fact that you’ve seen instances of racism regarding this, speaks volumes.

    Racism goes both ways, it exists in all cultures and countrys. Do not think you speak for me. My point remains that when a liberal is unable to refute or debate criticism of Mr Obama they fall back on racism as an excuse. When you see nothing except through the prisim of race that makes you the racist.
