How the Blight of White Privilege Cursed Us With Sarah Palin
Posted by Dave Blount at September 18, 2008 1:31 PM
Essayist/polemicist/barking moonbat Tim Wise has explained the success of Sarah Palin. It boils down to two words: White Privilege.
White Privilege is why Palin wasn't disqualified by her daughter's pregnancy, or by having a future son-in-law who wouldn't fit in at a $28,500-per-plate Obama fundraising rally. It's why being the governor of a state liberals despise can be passed off as a credential.
How did Saracuda get away with making a remark her enemies deliberately misconstrued as meaning the Founding Fathers wrote the Pledge of Allegiance? White Privilege.
Why don't people mind that she can handle a gun? White Privilege.
Why is no one (except liberals) outraged by Palin's failure to honor Obama's skeevy activities as a "community activist"? White Privilege.
Why were there no consequences when she fired an insubordinate underling who was using his office to protect a maniac trooper? White Privilege.
Why don't people object to Palin's mainstream pastor, instead reserving their outrage for the America-hating racist demagogue Jeremiah Wright? White Privilege.
Why does Palin not have to pretend there is only one Bush Doctrine, which is whatever Charles Gibson says it is? White Privilege.
White Privilege also explains why people honor the sacrifices John McCain made for his country while he was being tortured by communists for years on end, and even why America could "possibly allow" him to become president, even though spittle-spewing leftists blame Republicans for all of America's problems.
Wise unwisely concludes:
White privilege is, in short, the problem.
Not to worry, moonbats. Once the Obamessiah is in power, White Privilege will be revoked. Anyone who objects to the often self-directed anti-Caucasian animus lurking just under the surface of the Obamania phenomenon can be dismissed as a racist.
