Not, funny.

I think Steyn is one of the scummiest and most disgusting voices on the net but even I think he can actually do irony.

For starters, there should be more independently verifiable reports of actual abuse. Not hurt feelings and nasty remarks, but people actually being denied their rights, assaulted, or abused. What seems much more evident, even though the New York Times tries its best to ignore it, is the evidence of a racial and gender grievance industry. Al Sharpton’s Tawana Brawley hoax, or Jayson Blair (at the New York Times), or Crystal Mangum are NOT evidence of white racism. They show that race hustlers have made a good business out of shaking down businesses and governments.

I am sure there are probably some people who will vote for anyone but Obama because of his race. But this group of small, and they certainly don’t get any public support. But the people who make accusations that anyone critical of Obama is a racist are doing what they profess to be opposing – they are judging everyone on the basis of race, and discriminating against the people that do not have the racial characteristics they approve of. Too many of Obama’s supporters have made those arguments to make me comfortable; and then there is the question of Helen Jones-Kelley, the Ohio Jobs and Family program head who decided that Joe Wurzelbacher was asking disrespectful questions of Obama, and she violated his right to privacy. Jones-Kelley is an Obama supporter who has made the maximum contribution to his campaign. No one sees anything wrong with this, but I ask you – would you think that it was acceptable for a McCain contributer, who was the head of a public agency to divulge the confidential records of a private citizen who asked McCain an uncomfortable question? This is a much more serious problem – a double standard, which seems to be blandly accepted by many of Senator Obama’s supporters.

An interesting post by Crittenden, but I drew the conclusion opposite to his.
