There is a concentrated effort by left-wing zealots to brand Republicans (and other conservative movements) as racists. This problem has been compounded recently by the election of Barack Obama, since now it’s all too easy to claim that opposition to Barack Obama is due to racism. (And it can’t be due to any of the other multitude of philosophical, political, and personal points of contention one may have with Barack Obama, not the least of which are that he is a liberal Democrat who makes friends with the likes of Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers, and wants to drive budget deficits the likes of which have never been seen before and most of which have absolutely nothing to do with stimulating the economy. Gee, it can only be because he’s black and nothing else.)

In doing so, the methods they use to brand Republicans as racists, are not unlike the ones used by those who are racist haters themselves to target the subjects of their hate. In our modern society, being a racist is viewed as one of the worst possible things one can be. Therefore, someone who is a racist must be a horrible person, and as such he/she can be ridiculed, abused, hated, humiliated, etc., with no need for guilt or remorse. And this is exactly what racists, do. They find a way to brand the subjects of their hatred as horrible in some way and then it becomes okay to “legitimately” hate them.

Here’s an example. Have you ever wondered why the worst of anti-Semites, the ones who would just love for a second Holocaust to happen, also deny the first one ever did? They would love for all the Jews to be eliminated, yet they deny the Germans actually attempted to do just that. What’s the benefit in denying the Holocaust then? It is that if the Jews somehow all banded together in a horrendous conspiracy to lie and besmirch others for perpetrating the Holocaust then they must be horrible people, and as such it is okay to hate them.

This is what left-wing haters do. They brand Republicans as horrible in some way (they are racists or align themselves with racists) and as such it is okay to hate them. Yes, you heard it, the left-wing accusers of racism, apply a common tactic used by racist to perpetuate hate.

I can already anticipate some objections to the above by said left-wing zealots. The first one is that, as they claim, Republicans are actually racists, therefore it’s okay to call them that. (Well, anti-Semitic Holocaust deniers also justify themselves by claiming that the Holocaust actually didn’t happen.)

So the Republicans are racists. Really? There are racists who are Republicans, but then again there are racists who are Democrats. So the party that in recent years posted two black secretaries of state (Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powel), a black Supreme Court justice (Clarence Thomas), and a black party chairman (Michael Steele) is supposed to be racist, while the party of the anti-Semitic speech ridden Al Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan and Jesse Jackson, that blocked the nomination of a G.W. Bush appointed Hispanic judge (Miguel Estrada), that has a grassroots movement full of anti-Semitic hate, and that is tirelessly working day and night to keep minorities dependent on government handouts is somehow not racist.

Furthermore, anti-Semitic anti-war (read pro-terrorist) groups, such as the ANSWER Coalition (see photo below), reside comfortably on the left side of the political spectrum. Indeed, it’s amazing how the majority of Jewish people still supports the Democratic Party.

We can do a head count of the racists on both sides until we’re blue in the face, but you are simply not going to ever win the argument that Republicans are racists while Democrats are not.

The second objection is that since becoming a Republican is a choice, then hate against Republicans is not the same as hate against racial groups. Oh, really! Okay, let’s turn it around and see how it feels on the other end of things. In light of the above paragraphs, the Democratic Party is anti-Semitic and racist. In addition, since it elected a president who clearly spoke out against gay marriage (yes, Barack Obama), it is also homophobic. And until you leave the Democratic party, you are either an anti-Semitic racist homophobe, or you align yourself with those who are, which is just as bad. Any Democrats care to leave the party? No? You must be an anti-Semitic racist homophobe then! How does that feel? Does it hurt?

So left-wing “Republicans are racists” zealots, you may think that you are furthering your cause, but what you’re actually doing is embarrassing yourselves with your hypocrisy.

Dear members of minority groups, how do you feel about people who are trying to draw you away from a legitimate political party by applying the same tactics used to justify hate against you?

DISCLAIMER: This article in no way takes a position against all liberals or Democrats, just those who are attempting to wrongfully brand Republicans as racist. Any allusion to the Democratic party as a whole being racist was purely to illustrate absurdity by being absurd.
