Jacob Hornberger goes after the hysterics on the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as well as the claim that you must be a “racist” to oppose it. At this point, with the Tea Party “racist,” the GOP “racist,” libertarians “racist,” constitutionalists “racist,” nullifiers “racist,” and opponents of Obama “racist,” and with Keith Olbermann warning that people driving pickup trucks probably have sinister intentions and whites who call Obama “arrogant” are using a “racist” code word, presumably we are reaching saturation point, when people finally figure out this Orwellian smear is meaningless.
Leftist obsessions aside, the number of losers who sit around thinking of ways to do gratuitous harm to people for arbitrary reasons is vanishingly small. Leftists know it, too, or otherwise they wouldn’t favor mass immigration. How, in good conscience, could they invite so many vulnerable people from all over the world into a country still on the verge of segregation after decades of legal and moral penalties?
