American Idiot watch for Sunday, June 14, 2008

Actual letter in the Naples, Florida Daily News, reprinted in its entirety in the name of exposing this sort of crap far and wide so everyone knows what we're up against:

Editor, Daily News:

At last, the Democrats’ charade of selecting a presidential candidate is over. The black won!

I remember the days when the question was can a Catholic win the presidency? This game can go on forever — can a Jew, a Muslim, a homosexual, and so on? All great reasons for choosing a president!

There is no question that the show was perfectly orchestrated. With the unpopularity of the Bush administration affecting the Republican Party, it was a good time to try either a black or a woman for the presidency.

The choice of the woman was easy. Hillary Clinton was there — clever, articulate, ambitious and, thanks to her husband’s indiscretions, with excellent name recognition.

The black was more difficult to choose. Although the Democrat elite pretends to support the American blacks, they couldn’t find a presidential candidate among the 34 million descendents of slaves who have been in this country for over 300 years. Never mind they produced people like Barbara Jordan (for whom I voted), Thomas Sowell or Condoleezza Rice.

So they had to bring out Barack Obama, son of a black Kenyan and one of the many young white American girls who, during the 1960s, had a child from a black man as part of their rebellion against American middle-class values (I personally knew a couple of them).

So Obama has the perfect hippie credentials, and in addition is very eloquent and convincing. He only needed introduction to the public, and Hillary Clinton took good care of it.

Georges Pardo, Naples

Has your head exploded yet? He Who Must Not Be Named should sue for appropriation of the Dirty Fucking Hippies meme. "The black". In the eyes of Mr. Pardo of Naples, Barack Obama isn't even a man, he's "a black." But Mr. Pardo is no racist, no sirree, he actually voted for a black person once.

If you dig down into Mr. Pardo's letter, what you see isn't actually racism, it's fear of a word we have to pull out of the dusty closet in which it belongs -- miscegenation. It's about a white girl, Barack Obama's mother, falling prey to the Oversexed Black Man™. This letter says far more about Mr. Pardo than it does about Barack Obama OR his mother.
