"Peas In A Jihad-Inspired Pod" - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan

  • That's Michelle Malkin's broad brush. And that kind of rhetoric can have consequences:

    Marine reservist Jasen Bruce was getting clothes out of
    the trunk of his car Monday evening when a bearded man in a robe
    approached him.



    That man, a Greek Orthodox priest named Father Alexios Marakis,
    speaks little English and was lost, police said. He wanted directions.



    What the priest got instead, police say, was a tire iron to the
    head. Then he was chased for three blocks and pinned to the ground — as
    the Marine kept a 911 operator on the phone, saying he had captured a
    terrorist.





    And here's a classic moment:



    When officers arrived, police say, Bruce told them he heard the man say “Allahu Akbar” – Arabic for “God is great.” “That’s what they say before they blow you up,” Bruce said, according to police.





    But this too is worth noting:



    McElroy said Bruce "teared up when we told him that (Marakis) was a Greek Orthodox priest and not a terrorist."

Matthew Yglesias » Right-Wing Unleashes Racism on Rep Cao

  • For his trouble, he’s being treated to some interesting tweets:


    RT @RightBloggerPat: @AnhJosephCao You Bastard piece of shit fuck! GO BACK TO Saigon, South Vietnam where you fucking BELONG GOOK! #TCOT


    There’s also a whole bunch of folks who’ve decided that it’d be hilarious to start referring to Rep. Cao as “Mao” because, you see, they’re both responsible for the deaths of millions Asians. Also this.


    I think the conservative movement is going to continue to struggle in a decreasingly white American.

Matthew Yglesias » Max Boot’s Anti-Desegregationism

  • Searching around in the book you can tell that Boot is a cut above your standard-issue conservative since he has the good sense to recognize that the entire “activism” controversy was spawned not in some rights of the accused case, but rather in the Supreme Court’s decision to rule that school segregation was illegal in the landmark Brown vs. Board of Education decision.
  • But of course Boot, being a contemporary conservative rather than a 1950s or 60s conservative, isn’t a white supremacist at all. He even goes so far as to concede that “the result is one we can all applaud.” He’s just more upset by the prospects of courts overturning the demographically expressed will of a herrenvolk democracy that denied its black citizens the right to vote in order to better be able to oppress them with the systematic application of terrorist violence than he is by the apartheid regime itself.

Matthew Yglesias » Race in America and Europe

  • But I think that you’ll find if you look at Europe through the eyes of the liberal agenda that while the German left has certainly been more successful than the American left at securing universal health care, it’s been much less successful at promoting a tolerant, integrated, multicultural society. And allowing for the errors implicit in making any kind of sweeping generalization, I’d say that’s pretty generally the case across Europe. This Swiss People’s Party campaign poster would, I think, make Jesse Helms blush. And I’m not even sure which of the Northern League posters from Italy is the most egregious.

Michael Steele Doesn’t Race-Bait, Except When He Does « The Washington Independent

  • The first is the charge that “leading Democrats” called Steele an “Uncle Tom,” which is just false, unless the term is extended to cover liberal bloggers. The second, more directly false charge is that Steele was “called a slave by Steny Hoyer,” that “no one came running” to defend him. What happened was that Hoyer, in the final month of the campaign, characterized Steele’s record as “a career of slavishly supporting the Republican Party.”

  • Moreover, the alienation and radicalization of white America began long before Obama arrived.

The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan

  • They called MLK a
    communist because he wanted blacks to have the same rights as whites,
    and to them that was a redistribution of the privilege that whites had
    'earned'.
