Ok, we knew this anyway, but now they even have training materials
House Democrats received training this week on how to address the issue of race to defend government programs, according to training materials obtained by The Washington Examiner.
The prepared content of a Tuesday presentation to the House Democratic Caucus and staff indicates that Democrats will seek to portray apparently neutral free-market rhetoric as being charged with racial bias, conscious or unconscious. […]
As samples of race-coded rhetoric, Wiley reminded the Democrats of statements by Republican presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. Of Gingrich’s famous comment about President Obama, her distributed remarks note, “Calling a Black man ‘the food stamp president’ is not a race-neutral statement, even if Newt Gingrich did not intend racism.”

Wow. Good catch. So much from this blog recapitulated in two highlights from two paragraphs.
It doesn’t matter what you mean when it’s useful for the malevolent to pretend otherwise.
Just who is it that has a “racist” way of thinking?
Unconscious racism is such a cute concept.
The soft bigotry of low expectations is semi-conscious racism. Semi-consciousness explains much of progressivism.
And yet, half of the American imbeciles will vote for this.
The God of War will have his day.
They’ve discovered and perfected the best methodology with which to undermine this Republic’s Constitution: twisting and weaponizing our very own native language.
Civil War II seems inevitable, unfortunately.
It’s something that really made me sit up and take notice when I first came upon this site less than a year ago. The various tactics used to subvert the country and it’s process were pointed out and talked about everywhere, but Jeff and the folks at PW were- to me , at least- the only ones to notice the subtle twisting of language to implement those strategies and tactics.
It turns out that sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can break your country.
Gotta get your mind “right” so you can be on the “right side of history”.

Prepare to be ‘treated’.
From geoffb’s link:
But they can’t stop the bureaucratic snowball once it reaches critical mass, unfortunately.
When your congress person or senator tells you that we need to give money to people who simply don’t want to work, you should tell him or her that the idea is ridiculous. I don’t care if he or she says it is only fair to spread the wealth or that not everyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Ask Mr. or Mrs. Politician, “Are you suggesting that it’s my job to buy boots for another grown-up?” I say put the boots on layaway until you can afford them and then pull yourself up by those boots once you have paid them off.
What gives anyone the right to take taxpayers’ money and support lowlifes who don’t want to work? Anyone can fall on hard times, but if you have been on government assistance for more than four years, there is a problem with your work ethics. I use ethics very loosely when referring to career welfare recipients. Some may want to work, but it’s still not my job to support them. Giving welfare to people or extending charity should be voluntary, not a government requirement.

I just want to know who paid this Maya Wiley hoochie if it was just Democrats wasting their own money that’s fine I guess
no hoochie there’s still no upside for the socialists to engage in any discussion whatsoever about “the economic crisis”
they need to stick with things they understand
Will it work?
READER POLL!
[…] provide the rope with which communists would hang them? “Useful idiots,” indeed!(Via Darleen Click at Protein Wisdom, Professor William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection and Memeorandum.)Let me ask you, reader: Does it […]
it won’t work Mr. Jeff this Maya hoochie thinks she’s innovating but she’s just recycling
Will it work?
Obama won, didn’t he?
And his volume is again cranking up to 11… #FORWARD!
Of course it will work JG – the yellow caricature already doesn’t care as long as its not its money.
Anyway, it’s a fundamentally unserious issue, this. What matters is how many points Romney is up with White women over the age of 43 who also drive four-wheel drive vehicles, and whether or not we can figure out a way to get an additional 2% of the blue collar Hispanics by promising them comprehensive immigration reform, even as we peddle our closed border policy to the Hobbits in the base.
Romney might want to aim a bit higher on that blue collar Hispanic vote as he isn’t getting this one even if its only .0000000001% of the blue collar white vote.
To move into a post-racial future, maybe we could start by removing institutional racism from our law. I was tripping, and I had this tremendous insight: treat everyone as a member of the human race. Try to see everyone as a unique individual worthy of dignity, man, not just some representative of Set A, some interchangeable cog in the Man’s race machine.

You mean judge people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin motionview? No, our modern-day progressives would never go for that. Too afraid their character might be found wanting.
[…] Protein Wisdom – Remember Democrats, no matter what a Republican says… it’s racist! […]
A visual ‘splaining my 8:51.
Because I could.
You’re harshing my mellow Swen.
Motionview, the dream died with MLKjr. The the other Rev’s got to work. Not advancing a conspiracy theory but it sure does make one wonder.
I care about racists who burn crosses on lawns and try to promote two sets of laws, or drive out a population they don’t like. That’s it.
I don’t give TWO WET SHITS about “Racists(TM)”. Oh no! There are people whose minds supposedly aren’t quite up to some lefty twerp’s shifting, made up, ideal thought specs. Whoop de doo!
I don’t care about unconscious racism, implicit cultural racism, group guilt for the sins of past generations, perceived racism, potential for racism, supposed dog whistle code words, an “unspoken” ‘boy’ tacked on to the end of a two word interjection by an intellectually dishonest hack columnist with a dull, chipped, rusty axe to grind. I don’t trust ANY of that trumped up nonsense because I recognize it ALL as nothing more artificial bullying tactic designed to intimidate people into silence rather than win an actual argument against them. It always ends with a person who does not and would NEVER burn a cross on someone’s lawn being sloppily and lazily accused of being the sort of person who would burn a cross on someone’s lawn. It’s vile deceptive bullshit. It’s slander. People who cry racism for a living are essentially untrustworthy carnival barkers and slime. And what’s funny is these people RARELY if ever confront actual harmful racists. They almost always go after weak looking, timid, isolated people who they are absolutely sure will not flip out and split their wig for them. They are dishonest, opportunistic, bossy, scolding, slanderers. Fuck ’em.
I oppose racist violence. Most people do. That’s all I have to offer. I don’t even care if someone LIKES members of some other race or not. You don’t have to like anybody. You CAN prefer people over other people if you want to. That is not harmful. No one got hurt by that. No one gets cheated, or lied about, or hit, or chased away, or threatened or anything like that, because someone prefers people of their own race or whatever. It’s the actions that are a problem. It is the harm.
All I care about is an individual doing some actual observable quantifiable harm to another individual. Being offended by someone’s bumper sticker is not observable quantifiable harm. That’s just taste. That’s like loud shirts or dumb hats or too much eye makeup. Get over it.
Harming others is ALREADY against the damned law already for the most part. (Unless your last name happens to be Corzine, or Kennedy) No harm? Okay then. Then there’s no problem. Carry on citizen. And if you’d like to talk to about your feelings I’ll even listen a little. Maybe you’ll change your mind about some things, or not. Whatever. It’s your life.
Laws are about the consequences of behavior and conduct. They are not about regulating thought and opinion through coercion and intimidation so someone can brainlessly yaffle on about a “truly just society” or idealized ideas about universal safety and security if we could just fix all those broken people we disapprove of.
