Rebut This

THE MYTH OF REPUBLICAN RACISM [Jonah Goldberg ]

I know Ramesh and Peter Robinson have both linked to this already but I only got around to reading it this weekend. Gerard Alexander's debunking of the liberal conventional wisdom on GOP racism is really outstanding. It's in the Claremont Review of Books, which has really taken flight in its short time on the scene. Since Alexander's piece has been out for a while, I was wondering if any serious liberals have tried to rebut it? I would love to know what Ruy Teixeira, Peter Beinart or Josh Marshall make of this. If anybody's seen a sincere attempt by folks from that crowd, please send it along.

My rebuttal:

If [Muslim Americans] start flexing their power some Americans may do more than a little profiling. It's one thing to be tolerant; it's another to be a patsy.

All it will take is one political ad to show Kerry at a Muslim rally smiling with all the towelheads with a split screen of the twin towers collapsing.

Bush landslide.

Maybe after the next terrorist attack, we can set up internment camps again.

A Wal-Mart went up near my parents house in Lafayette and promptly drove the locally-owned and much pleasanter Adrian's (whose meatmarket excelled in providing amazingly good (homemade) stuffed and cajun-spiced meats) right out of business. It squats and spralls across what was formerly a lovely bucolic area, completely ruining the landscape. I would love to see that Wal Mart burn. Wal mart may be Mecca for white trash, but it has all the dirt and ethnicity of a 3rd world market w/out any of the charm.

If people that shop at walmarts is called white trash, what do they call Coon-asses that shop there?

Is that sincere enough for you, bigot boy?

And don't get too comfortable, Jnr. You may be lower down on their list, but you're still on it: "Now, that wouldn't be the baby-killing, Christian-hating Krauthammer and Safire would it?"
