Aaron Goldstein: Supporting Palin While White

*
At Intellectual Conservative, Aaron Goldstein writes about the liberal and overwhelmingly white media's maniacal obsession with Sarah Palin and the racial composition of her supporters:

"One of the most amazing aspects of the Sarah Palin phenomenon is the response of the liberal media to the large crowds she draws. This was on display during the election campaign and again during the just concluded Going Rogue book tour. The liberal media goes to tremendous pains to point out that the former Alaska Governor's audiences are primarily white."

[...]

"While attending the Tea Party on the Boston Common last April, I observed those in attendance to be overwhelmingly white. But when an overwhelmingly white crowd on the Boston Common gathered to protest President Obama's decision to send more troops to Afghanistan, I didn't hear anyone complaining about the racial composition of the protesters.5 Nor did I hear the likes of Janeane Garofalo claiming their protest is 'about hating a black man in the White House.'"

"By describing Palin supporters as 'white' the liberal media is seeking to de-legitimize them and in turn de-legitimize Palin. Yet, of course, white conservatives who harbor no ill feelings towards African-Americans or any other minority community don't like being insulted and lumped in with racists. But as long as the liberal media insists on attributing racist motives to whites who have the temerity to support Palin they will simply dig in their heels and strengthen their solidarity with her."

The race-card-playing liberal media, of course, ignore the fact that Gov. Palin has a number of conservatives of African heritage in her corner, including bloggers Adrienne Ross (who also happens to be the New York State organizer and an Executive Board member of the 20912 Draft Sarah Committee), Clifton B and Tyrone, just to name a few.

Goldstein considers it to be of paramount importance to point out the Left's race baiting whenever conservatives see or hear it. He is correct in predicting that we will get more of it from the liberal media. when it comes, Just refer them libs to Adrienne, Clifton or Tyrone. We're confidant that any one of these Palin supporters will be only too happy to tell the leftists just how wrong they are. And Adrienne in particular will have no problem relating the story of the egg man to them.

Update: Hateful leftist readers of the hateful leftist Guardian (rag) hope that a certain black Palin supporter is attacked more often. Link. Brings to mind some old lyrics by Genesis:

"Can you tell me where my country lies?"
said the unifaun to his true love's eyes.
"It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe
- for her merchandise, he traded in his prize.

"Paper late!" cried a voice in the crowd.
"Old man dies!" The note he left was signed 'Old Father Thames'
- it seems he's drowned;
selling england by the pound.

Citizens of Hope & Glory,
Time goes by - it's the 'time of your life'.
Easy now, sit you down.
Chewing through your Wimpey dreams,
they eat without a sound;
digesting england by the pound.
