The “Racist” Meme Continues
They’re reaching on the “code word” smear more and more. You knew it was only going to be a matter of time until some schmuck said that “socialist” is code word for Black. Well, the wait is over. This from The Star in Kansas City:
The “socialist” label that Sen. John McCain and his GOP presidential running mate Sarah Palin are trying to attach to Sen. Barack Obama actually has long and very ugly historical roots.J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972, used the term liberally to describe African Americans who spent their lives fighting for equality.
Those freedom fighters included the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who led the Civil Rights Movement; W.E.B. Du Bois, who in 1909 helped found the NAACP which is still the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization; Paul Robeson, a famous singer, actor and political activist who in the 1930s became involved in national and international movements for better labor relations, peace and racial justice; and A. Philip Randolph, who founded and was the longtime head of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and a leading advocate for civil rights for African Americans.
This most laughable aspect of this charge, is that author Lewis Diuguid expects us to believe that something like J. Edgar Hoover’s use of the word socialist to describe blacks is somehow fresh in the minds of Americans, leading it to be the natural connection we make when we hear the word. Not to mention that W.E.B. Du Bois was in fact a socialist.
Bravo on being the first to the bottom Mr. Diuguid.

These are socialists. You’re all retarded.
Oh, and by the way – Fox News is in the mainstream media! And so is Rush Limbaugh! You’re just pissed off because reality doesn’t fit neatly into your simplistic worldview. The mainstream media has two biases:
1) To use sensationalism to get viewers/readers
2) To reinforce the status quo
That’s it. Everything else is confirmation bias. In fact, do yourselves a favor and look up ‘confirmation bias.’ Unless you enjoy being stupid, of course…
