If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times, but it’s continually striking how thoroughly defined modern American conservatism is by opposition to opposition to racism. Isaac Chotiner observes a National Review article chuckling over the fact that John Derbyshire’s bigotry discomfits liberals while Adam Server brings us folks who wouldn’t necessary make the kind of racist statements Rush Limbaugh makes nonetheless circling the wagons to defend him from his critics.

IMHO, Fox News is neither fair nor balanced. But at least they are not marionettes controlled by ventriloquists in dindglebarry’s administration. ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and of course CNN, not to mention PBS are lost causes. When I think of those news outlets I think of Pravda. At least with Fox you get a modicum of rationality. So what does barry’s minions do? The nincompoops open up a war front with Fox. Question. Do you think this will increase or decrease Fox News ratings? Yup, barry’s bumpkins are so inept that they are increasing Rupert Murdoch’s working capital.

Former NFL player Marcellus Wiley stated on ESPN that the demographics of NFL players are 70% Black. WILEY: The NFL called an audible.  We’re going to pass, Limbaugh, on you and your racist comments, your divisive comments, comments that isolate players, 70% of this league is African-American. This is racist radio that doesn’t need any more attention.  This doesn’t need to be on primetime, on TV, in the owners’ box like he wants it.If that is indeed the case, then I can only conclude that the NFL is RACIST.

Heh. The Official Obama Criticizer is back, babey!Bo Knows! Preach on, brother, preach on!

Conservative Americans really are different, and it’s because their view of reality is not what the rest of us see.  Democracy Corps has just released a new study: ” The Very Separate World of Conservative Republicans .”  It’s a fascinating look at how conservative Republicans, who comprise 2/3 of the Republican Party, hold views that are just not present in the rest of the American electorate.  This has important implications for future elections as they demand their party move further away from mainstream America.
