Yet another liberal writer prepares rationalizations in case Barack Obama loses, and naturally puts the racism charge at the core of his argument:
"Many have discoursed on what an Obama victory could mean for America. We would finally be able to see our legacy of slavery, segregation, and racism in the rearview mirror. Our kids would grow up thinking of prejudice as a nonfactor in their lives. The rest of the world would embrace a less fearful and more open post-post-9/11 America. But does it not follow that an Obama defeat would signify the opposite? If Obama loses, our children will grow up thinking of equal opportunity as a myth. His defeat would say that when handed a perfect opportunity to put the worst part of our history behind us, we chose not to."
Really, now, Mr. Weisberg? If Obama loses, "equal opportunity" becomes a "myth"? Wow. So the fact that Barack Obama is: 1] a United States Senator; 2] a wealthy man, helped along by the well-paid jobs held by his wife; 3] a man who won a bunch of primaries and thus nailed down the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008; 4] one of the most well-known persons in the world, akin to a rock star, a celebrity...
All of that means nothing???? Really?
Don't let the left get away with this is-you-don't-vote-for-Obama-and-if-he-doesn't-win-we're-all-racists argument.
