The Old Red Lady of the NYT Sets up a Firebase for Michelle
We understand that the NYT—aka the Walter Duranty Papers[1]-- selects any far-leftist political candidate, cloaks them in splendor, offers soggy chants of praiseworthiness and attempts to fight their battles in the political arena. After dekulakizing[2] Colonel Klebb and her Consort, the winner, not exactly the first endorsement of the New York Times [but what the heck!], is now blackwashed for us in public and outfitted with official political protection.
The Old Red Lady launches off the pad:
“Hillary and Bill are busy updating their enemies lists. And Obama is racking his brain trying to figure out where to stash his erstwhile rival.”[3] [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]
Is this news? Didn’t Bill give us the ‘fairy tale speech’ and tell us that ‘he cannot be elected?’ That comment needs to be retracted.
On the Obama Phenomenon we read: “This thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen,” the former president said.”[4]—William Jefferson Clinton
Fairy tales have trolls, ugly warts on the noses of witches, skulking familiars and others crawling around so we wonder how Obama and Michelle might stay off the enemies list? Ask Hillary to watch his back in the White House? That is like asking a pack of coyotes to manage the security in the hen house.
Speaking of witches:
“It’s good news for Obama that Hillary’s out of the race. But it’s also bad news. Now Republicans can turn their full attention to demonizing Michelle Obama. Mrs. Obama is the new, unwilling contestant in Round Two of the sulfurous national game of “Kill the witch.”
Oh, the sugar and the salt! Zoroastrianism again?
“There are creepy Web sites, like TheObamaFile.com, dedicated to painting Michelle as a female version of Jeremiah Wright, an angry black woman, the disgruntled, lecturing “Mrs. Grievance” depicted on the cover of National Review.”
Every heard of Moveon.com or dailykos.com or nytimes.com or the huffingtonpost.com? The NYT now truncates and sanitizes the blogs in the blogosphere that would taint their second choice for our potential leader’s leading lady. There is nothing creepy about the New York Times or Ariana Huffington[5]?
So, bias bursts forth from the electric red pen of our heroine at the Times as she closes ranks about poor Michelle.
“On that site and others around the Internet, the seamy rumors still slither that there’s a tape of Michelle denouncing “whitey,” a rumor that Barack Obama disdained last week as “scurrilous.”
Is that like Joe Wilson going to Niger and not finding yellow cake? I frequently read Paul Krugman’s works on the times and sometimes cannot find even a hint of supply and demand economics. Is it a seamy rumor that he studied economics somewhere? Did the Times defend Clinton in the Lewinsky Affair? I forget. How did that seamy rumor still slither for in terms of truth? Negative evidence is the best kind for the NYT.
“That’s a good preview of how Republicans will attack Michelle, suggesting that she does not share American values, mining a subtext of race.”
I wonder if the Times shared American Values when they printed the lies of Walter Duranty or when they still insist that the Rosenbergs were not USSR spies [code name Liberal!]? Is reverse racism an “American Value?”
“Unlike her husband, who wrote in his memoir that he had learned at a young age to smile and charm and disarm whites of the notion that he might be a bristly black militant, Michelle has not always hidden her jangly opinions so well. She has spent more time dwelling on the ways in which society can pull down the less privileged and refers a lot to a callous but unnamed “They.””
Is that like saying “you people?”
“Obama begins with a broad assessment of life in America in 2008, and life is not good: we're a divided country, we're a country that is "just downright mean," we are "guided by fear," we're a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents. "We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day," she said, as heads bobbed in the pews. "Folks are just jammed up, and it's gotten worse over my lifetime. And, doggone it, I'm young. Forty-four!"[6]
“"You're looking at a young couple that's just a few years out of debt," Obama said. "See, because, we went to those good schools, and we didn't have trust funds. I'm still waiting for Barack's trust fund. Especially after I heard that Dick Cheney was s'posed to be a relative or something. Give us something here!"[7]
This is a ghetto garbled rant. We wonder if she is ‘mining a subtext of race’ here. We could ask to see Michelle’s SATs and see if she was merely some kind of token in school. Universities are like that sometimes elevating those with insufficient cognitive skills to high and exalted platforms in the Ivy League. Isn’t her them on the Internet somewhere? Or, is that hidden like Hillary’s to avoid embarrassment?
I didn’t have no trust fund—I worked my way trough college. Where is my trust fund? Oh! The government will give me one?
“Michelle,” as one political observer puts it, “is a target-rich environment.”
Viet Nam lingo. Yes, and we gots five long months to go.
“She’s going to take her big microphone on “The View” as a co-host next week, when she will no doubt try to put her remark about her belated pride in her country in context.”
With 20 speech writers and a scripted performance maybe she can hold her ideological Marxist hatred for America in check.
We shall see and will be watching with interest.
The Old Red Lady may be trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear in this essay. Dowdy Dowd was always against Hillary. [8]Michelle will have to wear a tight muzzle and ‘play whitey’s game’ for a while for if she launches off with her hate whitey tone she will turn off more voters than her husband did with his contempt of white middle class voters and their penchant for guns and how they cling to religion.
“All white people are racists.“[9]-University of Delaware.
The only voters that can stand blatant racism and bigotry are leftists who read the New York Times and their lackeys. Typical white people don’t like overt racism.
"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."[10]—Barack Obama off camera in what he thought was a safe environment to express his views.
Just who do Obama and Michelle think these bitter people are? Voters??
Maureen Dowd is now in some kind of damage control mode.
The NYT customarily rewrites or spins history in cases like this. This in their area of expertise: propaganda. [11]It will be interesting to see how they will proceed if Michelle’s handlers slip and let her sally forth in a new tirade. Jeremiah Wright would be proud of her racist remarks and so would her dear friend Michael Pfleger.[12]
Politicians and their lackeys at work: Watch out for the antipathy and bitterness from voters over the concept of higher taxes. This game is a freeloader’s acid flash circus. Higher and oppressive taxes are not fairy tales—they can sink the economy with no loss to the inner-city celebrants that will vote for Obama.
Five long months to go………..
