It's Just Unfortunate, You Know

NRO's Jim Garaghty has determined that it's just a darn shame that those crazy liberals see racism against the President everywhere.

I can't help but wonder how many Americans voted for Obama thinking that with an African-American president, the nation would put its bimonthly national racial controversies behind it and focus on other matters that transcended the color line. And now we find ourselves in a circumstance where, if not every criticism of the president is automatically denounced as racism, a significant percentage of them are. Keep in mind there's plenty of legitimate criticism to be made of things such as Joker posters or protesters who try to exercise the heckler's veto; but there is a knee-jerk reflex to label anything inconvenient as racially motivated.

For you see, in the world Jim Garaghty inhabits, pointing out efforts by conservatives to use "reverse racism" as a wedge issue against the President and Sonia Sotomayor time and time and time again simply encourages more of these unfortunate attacks.

In other words, if the dirty f'ckin hippies would just stop considering the racist attacks against the President to be racist, why it would magically stop being an issue because there would be no racist attacks against the President, see?

It's only racist if people consider them to be. Conservatives clearly don't, after all. Why are liberals ruining it for them, the bastards?
