Moron speak running it’s course

I’m beginning to think that Obama’s candidacy will eventually be good for this country. No, not because he might win the presidency – that’s impossible, unless photos emerge of John McCain eating live puppies. No, the Obama candidacy may end up shaking all of this bullshit about race and the inherent bogus sensibilities right out of the culture. I know I’m getting sick and tired of it and I’ve always been too tolerant of morons and cry-babies.

Anyway, yesterday, while I was transfixed by my sitemeter, Gateway Pundit ran a post about Obama event organizers calling for “more white people” to lighten up the complexion on the stage. Apparently the melanin was running a little too thick behind Queen Michele. I really don’t care about trivial crap like that, I live in the Metro DC area and I already know that what I, a melanin-deficient American, think about race doesn’t matter.

But, then this morning, I see LT Nixon has a post up about the Huffbots dealing dirt to SSG David Bellavia for his comment about John McCain being our role model and not Tiger Woods.

[S]ome Ivy-League jackass at the HuffPo is inciting that Bellavia’s made a potentially “racially divisive” comment by likening Tiger Woods to Obama. What the shit! (note: the comments got turned off, but they were pretty tasteless as well) Do the people at HuffPo not understand that the military is one of the least racist institute in America that has been fully integrated for decades . It’s a pretty sad state of affairs for American politics when Obama fans have to characterize everyone who doesn’t agree with his future Foreign Policy plans into some lowlife who just turned his Grand Wizard robe at the dry-cleaners.

Sorry El-Tee, but I hope your question about what Huffbots understand about the military was rhetorical, because they’ll never give you the correct answer. They’re willing to believe the worst about military members – every time.

Argghhh! also weighs in;

Sam Stein over at the Huffington Post is implying that Bellavia, in comparing Tiger Woods as a hero for children to Sen. John McCain’s heroism in withstanding five years of imprisonment and torture in Hotel Hanoi is somehow making a subtle racist comment. Of course, the commenters over at the HuffPo (loser central) went crazy about the terrible McCain Supporting Racist.

Well, I was there yesterday, and knew exactly what SSG Bellavia meant – everyone there understood what he meant. And what we understood had nothing to do race – it had to do with the pettiness of the culture that puts more value in the lives of entertainers (athletes are entertainers – no different than baggy-pants comics of the Charlie Chaplin era, just a little better paid) than the lives and advice of people who’ve walked the walk through life. People like John McCain and David Bellavia.

Thus Spake Ortner commented at LT Nixon’s house;

I was behind David during his speech. I know what David was saying. He was pointing out how America is not engaged in the war. Then he pointed out that kids have hero[e]s, and he used Tiger to illustrate someone kids look up to. And he said that his Children would grow up learning about people like McCain.

David doesn’t have an ounce of racism in him. I had lunch with him after this crap hit the net. He showed it to me on his blackberry with a wry little smile. “See what I have to deal with?” Was all he said.

The only people that could see this in a racial way, or as a veiled attack on Obama are those so consumed with racial awareness that they seek such things out. To guys like David and I, and the millions like us who served, such distinctions are irrelevant, because a soldier isn’t black, white, brown or any other color but green.

The fact that no one gave him the benefit of the doubt, that no one bothered to contact him absolutely infuriates me.

My hope is that America will soon tire of all of this race-baiting, spastic behavior from the campaign that is empty of ideas and has done more to set the civil rights movement back than any other group of petty dipshits who’ve walked God’s green Earth.

UPDATE: I just noticed that some little Obama-loving freak just left a comment on my YouTube video of SSG Bellavia calling him a racist; he could hear it in Bellavia’s voice apparently.

UPDATE II: Uncle Jimbo weighs in – read the whole thing, please.
