Why? Well, I dont care to delve into this particular heap of stink, but the answer in this case, like many other such instances, is simple. Because leftists (or liberals, progressives, contemporary American journalists, call them what you will. ) are bigots.
Yeah Harry Reid is a mormon. So?
I really am amazed at how so many Americans fail to see the obvious fact that all of the real racism and hate and bigotry comes from the left.
For example: Why do you suppose liberals think the phrase "food-stamp president" is racist? Because they are racists. Therefore, when they hear "food-stamp resident" their racist mind conjures "black president". They don't believe that conservatives would refer to a white liberal president who had presided over such an exponential increase in food-stamp dependency as "the food-stamp president". Which is, of course, absurd.
Among conservatives i find interest in Barack Obama's skin color to be non-existent. I never have sensed any concern for it, in fact, going all the way back to 08'.
If you are a liberal ask yourself this; Do you really think conservatives would not be vehemently opposed to Barack Obama's Presidency, given his background, ideology, policies, and failures, if he were white? Did conservatives not criticize Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton?
I have an exercise for you. go back and find Bill Maher show on HBO a few weeks ago, the one where he had Jason Alexander, and Soledad O'lyin on, and substitute the word "muslim" for the word "mormon" and tell me that Bill Maher isn't a class A bigot. He is. But that's okay with you tho isn't it? Of course it is. Really. just watch that shit and then imagine it was Sean hannity or someone like that, talking about a democratic candidate that was a muslim. If you do that, maybe, just maybe you will begin to see what i mean. Then go out and do the same in other instances, changing nothing but the proper nouns and flipping the roles.
LOL. The "War on women" LOL. okay, now think of this: The Democratic Party, who has been accusing the Republican Party of conducting a war on women, had a convention in which their key-note speaker was Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broderick and left her bleeding and crying on a hotel room bed. He raped a black woman and the democratic party celebrates him and yet it is the conservatives who the left claims are racists and threatening the rights of women. Unbelievable.
The world is upside down.
Racists, bigots, liars...leftists.
