Track-A-’Crat: The Roll Call of Democratic Delinquency

I’m fairly (very) obsessed with politics.  My wife doesn’t much like my habit of relating pretty much everything to politics, even when we’re talking about something ostensibly unrelated.  But I do know when to stop, and even when not to start, some of the time.

So it’s a pity that Jesse Jackson, that race-baiting, hate-mongering relic of a past age, has no such sense of time and place.

It must really suck being him.  Jackson interprets everything that doesn’t please him as racist, which is a recipe for a life full of nothing but contempt, bitterness and suspicion.  Can he drink milk, even, or does its whiteness offend him?  How about white paper – does he insist upon diversity and having a variety of colored paper to use?

Jackson’s view of humanity is a pitiable one.  He realizes full well that America has changed, that the somewhat more widespread views of the past are now held by no more than a tiny minority, and he’s aware that this has made him irrelevant.  So he has embarked upon a one-man crusade to expose racism where it doesn’t exist, in a futile attempt to rejuvenate himself.

His latest insult to intelligence is his accusation against Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) for voting against the state-rationed healthcare.  Summoning up all of his eloquence, Jackson stated that,

We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill. You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.

What the f*ck does that even mean?

Is this like how, according to Charlie Rangel, black people should only vote for other black people?

How the f*ck can you not be black if you vote against healthcare?  Is there some worldwide certification of black authenticity of which I’m unaware?  Is Frances Rice not black?  Is Clifton B not black?  Is Joe S. R. not black?  And what about the scores of other black conservatives whom the Left-wing and MSM pretend don’t exist?

The last word in this goes to Rep. Davis, who possesses intelligence enough to vote against state healthcare and give a pitch perfect polite smackdown to Jackson:

One of the reasons that I like and admire Rev. Jesse Jackson is that 21 years ago he inspired the idea that a black politician would not be judged simply as a black leader. The best way to honor Rev. Jackson’s legacy is to decline to engage in an argument with him that begins and ends with race.

Nice.

PS – Hat-tip to RSM at The Other McCain.  And if guys don’t know what HTTJYUB stands for, then you’re not reading him often enough…

Erm, not including Michael Jackson.  I just chose the photo above for the unique oddball quality with which Jacko imbues everything he touches/sees/gets near.

It takes someone special – introducing the Rev. Jesse Jackson – to make frequent racist remarks about both his own and other races.  And offending black and white with the same remark just takes skill.

And let’s not leave out Al Sharpton.  A truly charming guy.

I do not want to get on his bad side.

Then again, maybe he was particularly mad at (then) Senator Obama for “acting like he’s white.”
