So What Is Racist and What Isn't In Today's Blogosphere?

Posted 8/5/06 at 12:54am by jamie

When a post was made on Huffington Post the other day with a picture of Bill Clinton standing with Joe Lieberman, who was in black face, the wingnuts came out looking for blood. They started talking about the racist left and how hypocritical we are. Of course Matt Drudge was one of the wingnuts jumping on this bandwagon.

So now I must ask the question - what in the hell does this mean?

Now I know what Drudge is saying - that the race for McKinney's seat is getting rough politically, but why show a picture of the two African American candidates and subtitle it "Nasty Race..."? Here is the article the link goes to:

The closer Cynthia McKinney and Hank Johnson get to Tuesday's runoff, the nastier the race seems to be getting.

At a community forum Thursday night in North DeKalb, the two candidates for the Fourth Congressional District again traded barbs in their efforts to secure crucial votes.

And for one of the first times publicly, Johnson took off the gloves. After McKinney accused him of being under the thumb of Republicans because of the money he has gotten from GOP-leaning donors, he struck back.

"I can accuse her of being under the control of terrorists, but I won't" Johnson said, because of the money that her campaign has gotten from Muslim interests.
