5 Feet of Fury

Michael Coren called a ‘racist.’ Must be Sunday…

Read the whole thing.

He writes:

I dared to say in print and on radio and television that Barack Obama may well be an empty vessel and that his inauguration speech was shallow and jarringly rhetorical.

The bombardment of spiteful, threatening and misspelled e-mails hasn’t stopped since.

(…)

He played, has played and will play the part of the back pastor in the large gospel church. Volume, hope, rhymes and promises but often not much else. We know that when he first spoke to black audiences in Chicago the aspiring politician was told that he didn’t sound “black enough,” so he deliberately rehearsed the rhythms of black preachers.

There. Proves it. Coren is a racist. No, not at all. Pointing out differences is no more or less racist than not pointing them out. That there are such differences is not a fact that can be established or obscured by the character of the person who reveals them.

Obama’s followers know this better than anyone, which is why they claim that race is now irrelevant while simultaneously playing the race card to trump any difficult hand offered by opponents.
