Hey, You Typical White Guys

What’s wrong with you? You know who you are. You typical white guys. You Archie-Bunker, belly-floppin’ redneck racists.
Huffington Post, for two days now, has laid the blame — for Barack’s impending loss tonight — at YOUR fat dirty feet. Because you typical white men are a bunch of racists. And you can’t see beyond the color of Barack’s skin.
The latest, today, is “On Course For Another White Guy Election,” by Thomas
Edsall. The first image chosen for the article is that of the two “redneck” white men. People must have complained because, now, the image of Barack tossing a bowling ball has replaced the two Bubbas on the article’s primary page. Luckily, thanks to Huffington Post forgetting that the objectionable image was still on its home page (or was it that their vainglorious elitism kept them from removing the image?), we can show you the intended portrayal of all of you “typical white men,” who Nora Ephron assailed in her nasty little rant yesterday at HuffPo.
Of note: Huffington Post even features a special tag for you: “White Guys.” Proud of yourselves now, huh?
In fact, ALL of the tags for Edsall’s story feature the word “white”: “White Guy Election,” “White Guys,” “White Male Voters,” “White Voters,” and “Winning White Vote.”
Now — in Larry Johnson’s post, “It Ain’t the Color of the Skin, It’s the Thickness” — and in my post, “What happens when you’re afraid, Barack?” — we exposed the hustle that Arianna Huffington and her writers, joined by the MSNBO and other elite MSM media, are trying to pull off. They’re trying to blame you and your redneck racism for Barack’s loss tonight in Pennsylvania.
They want to focus all their righteous ire on you rednecks — instead of questioning their own candidate’s electability as well as people’s honest, carefully-reasoned perceptions about Barack’s weaknesses in experience and in his questionable choices of his longtime friends and advisers.
We happen to know that the vast majority of you “typical white men” aren’t put off by the color of anyone’s skin. As Larry wrote this morning:
What Barry Obama and his acolytes don’t understand is that today most Americans don’t give a damn about how much melanin you have. The days of Jim Crow are gone. The days of putting people with dark skin at the back of the bus are gone. It is not the norm. It was in the sixties, but the courage of Martin Luther King and other black leaders coupled with the action of white leaders, such as Lyndon Johnson and the Civil Rights Act, helped us start turning a corner on race relations.
But here’s that this jerk Edsall wrote about you “typical white guys” — and I swear to you that these words appear in his article today, “On Course for Another White Guy Election“:
The prominent role of more centrist and conservative white men in the Democratic primary process is confounding to some. Just last year, Democratic political scientist Thomas F. Schaller was breathing a sigh of relief over the prospect that white men were a steadily diminishing factor in the political landscape.
In an essay titled “So long, white boy” published September 17, 2007 on Salon, Schaller wrote:
“The Democratic obsession with the down-home, blue-collar, white male voter, that heartbreaker who crossed the aisle to the Republicans many decades ago, may finally be coming to a merciful end….it’s a waste of time and resources for the Democrats to pursue them — a classic sucker’s bet….Democrats finally seem to realize that cultural contortionism in the pursuit of Bubba produces little more than smiles on the faces of Republican consultants.”
Two other Democratic analysts, Ruy Teixeira of the Brookings Institution and Emory University’s Alan Abramowitz, both agreed that the white working-class vote, both male and female, is declining as a share of the electorate. But that does not mean, they note, that these voters can be cast aside: …
DIE OFF, would you please?! You typical white guys!
DECLINE some more, would you please?!
(I’m sorry. I’m laughing so hard that I can’t write anymore. You write the rest of this…. oh gawd. …)
Oh, just one more thing. If I were the editor of Huffington Post, here’s the photo I might put on the cover:
