SHOCKER: Sharpton Labels Trump a Raaacist!

That's funny, I don't recall this loathsome jerk impugning the motives of Chris "White Guy" Matthews back when he insisted that Barack Obama release his long-form birth certificate.

Then again, Matthews isn't a potential Republican candidate for President.

Welcome to the GOP, Mr. Trump. We're all racists 'round these parts - you just gotta learn to embrace it.

Uh Oh: Attack Was Racially Motivated

It took some digging, but after I saw a headline that proclaimed loudly that the attack and murder of a Hispanic male was being described by prosecutors as being racially motivated I had to go check it out. Of course, the first thought is this would be tied back to those racist Tea Partiers, of course. My first clue came when the race of the people charged in this murder were not specified and simple curiosity took over from there.

My first clue came in a news article which gave the names of the 'teenagers'.

Steven Mack, Demetrius Yarborough, Deandre Roosevelt Rucker, Sherwin Bilal Archie and Darrius Lavale Tyson face other charges related to the death of Ponce. Pressley said Ponce didn't understand English, so he didn't know what the robbers were ordering him to do -- that's why he was killed.

I ran into story after story that merely repeated the same information which then led me to search on the names. It seems that Mr. Rucker is not a stranger to the world of crime and punishment.

In June, Rucker completed a six-month jail sentence for a probation revocation, according to state Department of Correction records. He was given probation in 2009 after being convicted of felony larceny over $1,000, breaking-and-entering, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and two counts of misdemeanor larceny.

DOC records state that while in prison, he racked up five infractions.

Then I found Mr. Yarborough's mug shot, he also is no stranger to the judicial system.

Yarborough was placed on probation Aug. 24 after convicted on two counts of misdemeanor larceny, conspiracy to commit credit-card theft and another conspiracy charge, according to state Department of Correction records

Finally, I found the mug shots of last two 18-year-olds.

So my question is, where is the ACLU, all the civil rights advocates and the usual parade of race-baiting liberals? The prosecutor says this attack was racially motivated so where are the John Lewis's and Al Sharptons of this world in regards to this case?

Of course, I am probably racist for pointing this out.

Chirp, chirp.

Cheesy Grayson Shamelessly Plays Race Card With Anti-Obama Doctor

Expect nothing less from the odious Alan Grayson. After this doctor created a furor with his anti-Obama message yesterday he pretty much backed off after getting his point across and said he would treat anyone.

But that's not stopping clown bombthrower Alan Grayson (a/k/a/ Fred Flintstone) from whipping out the race card in record time.

"Well, in fact, where he lives, in Mount Dora, which is in my district, many, many of the Democrats who live in Mount Dora happen to be African-Americans," Grayson said on CNN. "So, by saying that he will not treat somebody who supported Obama, he's saying that he's not going to treat a large number of African-Americans in the community."

Grayson, a freshman who represents a Republican-leaning district, gained national attention during the healthcare debate last year when he said the GOP's healthcare plan was for seniors to "die quickly."

Cassell has said that he is not violating medical ethics rules.

"I'm not turning anybody away — that would be unethical," Cassell, 56, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."

But Grayson said that he was violating the rules and that he will probably be disciplined by medical licensing authorities.

"How many people walked in -- walked up to his front door, saw the sign, and turned away?" he asked. "How many people referred from other physicians in the community, including primary care physicians, how many patients saw that sign and walked away?"

Asked what kind of punishment Cassell should receive, Grayson said "Well, whatever the medical authorities think he should get. But it is a clear violation of ethics, and it's a particularly ugly one. Why is it that the right wing is so preoccupied with denying people health? Why is that?"

Does Grayson even bother to check with the doctor himself or is he simply preoccupied with trashing Republicans and chance he gets, facts be damned? Is there a single "rightwing" doctor out there who is actually denying health care to anyone? Is there a single person in this country that needs help and does not actually get it? Of course not. If there was you can be assured buffoons like Grayson would be trotting them out for exploitation. A wealthy liberal like himself wouldn't dig into his own pocket to help someone out, but he's more than happy to bash Republicans without having the facts.

Let's hope Grayson's constituents have tired of this lame act and elect someone else.

Update: A comment from Matthew Gunnoe, the campaign manager for Dan Fanelli.

This is the type of trial-lawyer manipulation that has helped
net Grayson millions.

Where, in that famous little sign, does it say: If you’re black, I’m not going to treat you?

Nowhere.

This is Just Typical of a liberal to create an alternate reality
for political gain.

This is aside from the argument as to whether or not Dr. Cassell is refusing treatment of Obama supporters, which he denies. He stated clearly that he would not refuse any patient the best care; he’s only letting them know where he stands on Obamacare.

But that controversy’s not inciteful enough on its own; nofolks, this is now being turned into racism courtesy of Grayson.

It's Come to This: Toll Lanes Called Racist

You might think this is some sort of Onion parody, but trust me, it's not. We've now reached the point in America where every living, breathing organism, person, edifice, thought, gesture and eye blink is officially racist.

Thank goodness we're living in Obama's post-racial utopia.

These people wonder why they can't be taken seriously.

There's a new turn in the debate over high occupancy toll lanes or HOT lanes.

A lawsuit filed by Arlington County last month claims the lanes benefit wealthy white people and discriminates against minorities. While the only rule to get in the HOV lanes on Interstate 395 is you must have three people in the car, Arlington claims adding HOT lanes would cut out poor and minorities by defacto.

That claim doesn't sit well with Fairfax County Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield).

"I don't think race or class warfare has any standing in this argument," Herrity said.

Buried in the lawsuit filed last month, county attorneys argued the HOT lanes, "encourage and enable a financially-able, privileged class of suburban and rural, primarily Caucasian residents from Stafford and Spotsylvania counties operating single occupancy vehicles ("SOV") unimpeded access on toll lanes."

In other words, it benefits wealthy white people.

A few pages later, the suit claims the Federal Highway Administration and the Virginia Department of Transportation failed to do the proper environmental analysis and that "their actions also constituted civil rights violations as they discriminated against minority and low income communities."

Arlington County Chair Barbara Favola says the race issue only arose because the environmental review includes socioeconomic impact.

"It is not our intention to play a race card. I think that's a very divisive approach," Favola told FOX5.

Yet they'll do it anyway. When you have no coherent argument, no substance and no defense of your position, what else can you do but play the race card? It's all they have left.

Used to be people would be frozen in their tracks, left stammering trying to defend themselves against spurious race claims and would wind up groveling and apologizing just so they could be left alone. Well, people are sick of it. It's simply shallow and vapid and demonstrates the left's inability to defend their position on almost any issue.

So when in doubt, whip out the race card.

H/T Political Castaway.

Update: Eddiebear has had enough of these spurious charges of racism and goes nuclear.

A masterful refutation of this leftist bilge here. Language warning there, but in this case it's necessary to make the point.

Hot Air links. Thanks!
