Washington Post Goes Full Bigot
Hello. My name is Bob, and I’m a racist.
I know this because the editorial board of the Washington Post said so.
While I’m too young to have used water cannons on civil rights protesters, and couldn’t tell you where the local Klan meets (or if there even is one), I have this troubling problem of perspective. It is my inconvenient belief that a cabinet official with a high-level security clearance — the same access to much of the information provided to the CIA director — should avail herself of the same facts known to the rest of the cabinet, especially if she is going to be discussing a specific issue with the television press on a series of national television programs.
I do not remotely believe that Susan Rice was unaware that the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens was an act of terrorism. Ambassador Rice lied to the mainstream media and the American people, and she lied not just once, but in five appearances in a row. She continues to lie to this very day.
Quite a few in Congress feel the same way as I do about Rice’s overt dishonesty. But for voicing their displeasure with the ambassador’s lies, the Post tars them as racists, sexists, and neo-confederates to boot:
Could it be, as members of the Congressional Black Caucus are charging, that the signatories of the letter are targeting Ms. Rice because she is an African American woman? The signatories deny that, and we can’t know their hearts. What we do know is that more than 80 of the signatories are white males, and nearly half are from states of the former Confederacy. You’d think that before launching their broadside, members of Congress would have taken care not to propagate any falsehoods of their own.
The Post claims of Republicans that “we can’t know their hearts,” but assures us those hearts are sexist and racist all the same.
Oh, to have known this years ago, back when the Post thought I was newsworthy, and even asked me to guest blog for a short while. I didn’t know that for them it amounted to adventures in cracker-sitting.
I guess I should consider myself fortunate to have even appeared on their radar as an anthropological experiment, being a white, southern, public university graduate. It is not something of which the Post editorial board approves.
The Post editorial board, you see, is a thing of rare beauty and diversity.
Harvard-educated Fred Hiatt has been with the paper since 1981, as has Harvard-educated Lee Hockstader, Harvard-educated Stephen Stromberg, Harvard-educated Charles Lane, and Harvard-educated Opinions editor Marisa Bellack.
Yale-educated Jackson Diehl and Ruth Marcus are the Ivy League “outsiders.” Jo-Ann Armao, another white liberal, comes from the University of Buffalo, along with progressive cartoonist Tom Toles. Jonathan Capehart, the sole African-American on the board, shares the same diversity of thought as his colleagues. His difference from his peers is literally skin-deep, his individual editorials interchangeable with those of his peers in terms of view and substance.
There are no westerners, southerners, or Midwesterners on the Post editorial board, nor are there any libertarians, Republicans, or conservatives.
Nice job. More objective coverage of our beloved press would be a good thing for the country. Who, as they say, are these people? As for the newspaper itself, and as many have often said, the editors and staff of the Washington Post are fervent believers in diversity–in every area except the area of ideas.
Gugliemus, according to leftist orthodoxy, no one is allowed to speak unless they ape their talking points. Not nice. Not nice at all.
And if one is a conservative white male one might as well be dead and buried.
The fact of the matter is that the most repressive cliques are always those who claim to hold the mantle of liberalism/inclusion. We dare not allow them to get away with their mind games. Liars, liars pedigrees on fire.
And Harvard-types need to sit up and pay attention, they are not as smart as they think they are. Not at all. They are simply hyper indoctrinated, having paid for an ivy, worthless degree to boot – but not if one is ‘the other’…they likely received a free ride…but this blogger digresses.
And here is the long and short of the ‘oh so smart set’ – http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/08/21/the-paradox-pitfalls-of-liberal-democracies-in-a-time-of-immoral-relativism-the-havoc-wrought-by-leftist-academia-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/
So, the next time the indoctrinated talk in tongues, conservatives may want to remind them that they are merely the result of hammer and tongs indoctrination, and that they haven’t had an ORIGINAL, OUT-OF-THE-BOX thought since…..
Don’t allow them to intimidate. They are well paid, over fed, smug talking parrots!
I encourage White European Americans to join the Council of Conservative Citizens as a starting point for the creation of a new White European Identity Politics. Demonization of Whites has gone mainstream in the media and is respected in academia in not only the “studies departments” but much of the humanities departments, discrimination against White Europeans is legal and promoted as a moral good, and all of this is now the zeitgeist in the halls of power of all institutions.
We need to organize to protect our rights and defend our culture from destruction….ultimately, your lives may depend on it.
The last refuge of a scoundrel is in accusations of racism.
The Left cannot defend its policies, its people, its president, or its cabinet so rather than even try they cry racism.
If they want to believe I’m racist for believing Obama is a socialist who is determined to destroy this country then so be it. I’m a racist.
If they want to believe I’m a racist for believing Eric Holder is himself a racist, complicit in a crime via Fast and Furious and determined to undermine our voting process then so be it. I’m a racist.
If they want to believe I’m a racist for believing Susan Rice is a liar then so be it. I’m a racist.
If they want to believe that I’m a racist for being angry with Michelle Obama’s neo-socialist crusade for healthy school lunches then so be it. I’m a racist.
If they want to believe I’m a racist for being disgusted with the utter ignorance and stupidity of most of the members of the racist CBC THEN SO BE IT. I’M A RACIST.
I don’t care! They can all go to their Liberal paradise aka HELL on earth.
Keep in mind that they intend to force everyone else to live in their “paradise”, under their benign dictatorial rule, as well.
The trouble with progressives isn’t that they live in a fantasyland where they are always right and good, and everyone else is always wrong and evil. It’s that they have repeatedly shown themselves to be willing to go to any lengths to force everyone else to dance to their tune.
And if you don’t dance just so, they will punish you. As seen here.
As with the old advice about a schoolyard bully, “just ignore them and they’ll go away” doesn’t work. Their egos will never allow them to be ignored by anyone. They must be confronted, and defeated, their lies thrown in their faces, and they must be discredited.
Until this is done, the damage they do to the world will never end.
If we wait until they feel free to use genuine, deadly force to compel the rest of society to dance, we will find we have waited too long.
I would start with libel and slander actions, and go on from there. They print it; make them prove it.
If they can’t, make them pay for it. For an example of how this works, read the chapter about the Reynolds vs. Pegler libel case in My Life In Court by Louis Nizer.
Liberals claim to love the law. Let’s see how much they love it when it bites them in the ass.

I think it’s unlikely that the panty-waisted Harvard types are going to ever use deadly force to impose their will on the rest of the country. They won’t want to get their hands dirty.
Their power is that we allow them to control our money. Eventually, they will lose that control and the air will go out of the balloon. Either because there is a large scale currency collapse due to hyperinflation or because Americans start to engage in wide-spread tax fraud and underground activity (which is probably already starting…as people lose jobs in the formal, regulated economy, a lot of them are going under the radar and becoming entrepreneurs in the underground cash and barter economy).
If we have a violent civil war in this country, it will either be because the “community organizers” go off the reservation and start forming militias or as a backlash when the military throws out the politicians to “restore order and the constitution”.
You can’t have a civil war unless you have two sides with arms. The Harvard boys might think that they can order the Army to fire on U.S. citizens…but if they do, they are kidding themselves. In the long run, the Harvard boys are going to end up like Bourbon courtiers…doing their best to flee with the loot when their incompetance finally collapses the system. The revolution will be fought by those who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.
I would point out that Robespierre and Marat didn’t personally trip the guillotine to behead anyone. But plenty of people lost their heads during the Terror, anyway. Maximilian & Jean Paul just egged everyone else on.
The “Harvard boys” may not want to get their hands dirty. But rest assured that they can find plenty of other people on their side who will do the “dirty work” when they cry “aux barricades!”.
Lenin would have been nothing without Stalin, Trotsky, and “Iron Feliks” Dzherzinsky. Fidel Castro needed his kid brother Raul, and Che’ Guevara. And Mr. Godwin’s Law wouldn’t have gotten to first base without Ernst Rohm, Hermann Goering, and Heinrich Himmler. To say nothing of Reynhardt Heydrich.
Soldiers who take their oath (and the UCOMJ) seriously won’t fire on their fellow citizens, it’s true. The Department of Homeland Security, SEIU, ACORN, etc., may be a different matter entirely. Rohm’s Sturmabteilung wasn’t part of the Reichswehr, either. (“…[A] domestic security force as big and well-funded as our military” was the exact quote, I believe.)
Don’t forget that half of the violence in any revolution (or “rectification”) is carried by the same sort of people who form half or more of the “secret police” after the Triumph.
Namely, those who torture, maim, and kill because they like it.

Govt. agencies have been buying ammo — harsh ammo — in huge quantities. And a friend of mine living in downtown Denver came face to face with some of the first “graduates” of the govt’s new Homeland Security thugs. She said they looked like third world militants ready to take over the streets. I had wondered why the only photo of the first graduating class was taken from far ABOVE the mass of them. Thought how odd. But when said friend described those she had seen, I began to understand.
Benghazi explained: Interview with an “Intelligence Insider”
- Doug Hagmann (Bio and Archives) Thursday, November 29, 2012
What the democrats are arguing is that racism is OK. As long as it is properly directed at ” whitey”! Perhaps ” Latino’s ” should be reminded that Obama would target them, the moment it becomes convenient for his agenda.
It won’t matter that you’re a rich white liberal Obama Democrat when the well runs dry, the rioting starts, and you look like you got some nice stuff.
It bothers me that people continue to make the mistake that ‘cracker’ = racist. A cracker is merely someone born in Florida or South Georgia, so named from the cowboys who cracked whips to drive cattle, back in the 19th century.
The old Negro League baseball team in Atlanta was ‘The Crackers’ – not exactly a team of white racists.
It’s a mistake due to stupidity or ignorance that needs to be corrected.
Either they’re very stupid, or they think the voters are even more stupid than they.
Or perhaps it’s a combination of both…
I was gonna add a comment but I think Eric and eon pretty much summed it up.
Let’s be honest: the only reason Eric Holder, Hussein Soetoro, and Susan Rice are in the position they are is because they are blacks or mulattos.
And that is the basic problem in America: affirmative negro action and affirmative vagina action have dragged business to a standstill and the economy to the fiscal cliff.
Because competence is no longer a factor in promotion, whether in business or in government: skin color and vagina-possession are the main criteria now.
Yes. That mentality has infected the whole culture long ago. My only consolation is that those “protections” end up destroying the “protected” even if it takes along time.
No. No. To be completely honest, the color of their skin or the shape of their sex organs is irrelevant. It’s the fact that they are liberals. Very left-wing liberals. If they were even slightly right of center the main stream media would be calling for their resignations and/or for impeachment. Imagine how the press would react if that was Condi Rice instead of Susan Rice.
Don’t have to imagine it; just do a search through the WaPo archives….
Yup.
WaPo: All prejudice & bigotry, all the time. Now, with new & improved hypocrisy.
MSNBC: All White, all the time, save for that Tawana Sharpton guy. But it’s the same old, same old hypocrisy.
On a side note, the way the democrats defend her by labeling everyone else as racist raises a question in my mind.
Stevens was the ambassador to Libya. He was gay.
So… was that the democrats pre-emptive cover plan in case something went afoul and was discovered? That is, terrorist attack notwithstanding?
If Stevens were alive today and something untoward (gun-running to Syria) was found out….
Democrats: “You’re just being a bunch of homophobes and picking on Stevens because he’s gay!”
I think they did. I also think they think of things in those terms and what they can get away with in planning as they say in their meetings, “Well, if the republicans raise a stink, we’ll just label them X or Y or Z and the press will stick by it so we have their support and we can proceed with the plan, or at least make them shut up about it.”
If this is the case then it’s beyond shameful. Criminal is more like it.
“Stevens was the ambassador to Libya. He was gay.”
I didn’t know that – nice appointment to a fundamental Islamist country. Weren’t there any Jewish Lesbians available? What about that guy with the busty blond wife who owns those Honey Baked Ham franchises?
And you expected what else?
In defense of the Washington Post, I didn’t see George Bush nominating an African-American woman as Secretary of State.
Obviously somebody here owes somebody else an apology!
Yeah, that Bigot Bushie should have named a black woman named Rice, just like Obummer is gonna do!
There is one non-prejudiced thing that George Bush never actually did that Barack Obama has done, and that is choosing a mentally retarded man as his VP.
The Race Card is the most rapid-fire, all purpose, over used and abused, ad hominem and vapid weapon of smear, mass deception, diversion and greed ever conceived by man. It is a weapon under which the most feeble minds are severely crouched and can be played with the greatest of ease by even the most reason and integrity challenged, and in fact, was designed especially for use by them. It is void of justice. It is void of liberty. It needs no footing in rationality. It is, in plain and clear fact, similar to a lynching. At times it is the last refuge of hate filled scoundrels and at other times the first as they attempt to murder intellect, justice and freedom of speech. It has no expiration date. It doesn’t even appear to have a half life. There are those who theorize that it may continue to exist indefinitely in some form even after time itself has come to an end.
Anyone who actually thinks that opposition to Barack Obama and his policies, and his serial mendacity and calumny, makes someone a “racist” is mentally ill and profoundly so and so filled with hate and slander they can’t even see straight. Anyone who makes that claim but does not actually believe it is a liar and a smearier and a verbal lyncher. In any case as the line goes, give me a million years and I could not think of anything STUPIDER than “If you oppose Barack Obama and his policies, you are a racist” and “If you question Susan Rice and her blatant lies, you are a racist”. It does not get any STUPIDER and is all but a signed confession by his most witless sheeple that they can not rationally and honestly defend their feeble and failing god, the Screwball Mad Child Emperor, nor his Pinocchio Puppet.
The trouble with what these pinheads do is that real racism gets diluted by this continual barrage where they use the word racist. Proving once again that they can and will use every tool in the box repeatedly regardless of the collateral damages so long as it works. When the only argument left them is to accuse you of being racist or misogynist you can be pretty sure you’re on the right side of the argument. Just don’t get cocky – the MSM will make sure the important details get lost in the nightly translation of events – making you out to be the schmuck.
News organizations are merely PR people any more. They reprint or broadcast PR releases from friendly business and government agents and ‘feel-good’ news. And of course they manage to jam into the brainwashing some of the talking points of the day from the DNC.
How many white people are members of The Congressional Black Caucus?
And why wouldn’t it be equally appropriate for a White Congressional Caucus?
They wouldn’t look like the existing klan in tan would they?
“Hello. My name is Bob, and I’m a racist.” Bob, don’t you know you supposed to be taking in code, come on man get with the program after all you are a white guy aren’t you? If you’ve lost your code book let me know and I will Fed-X you another one first thing in the morning.
Mr. Owens,
Beautifully written article. Like a delicious pizza, it was sprinkled with just the right amount of wit, satire and facts to make it irresistible. To me.
Strategically, though, in my view, it was way off; missed the mark.
The minds we must reach respond more to lines like, “war on women”, “Romney’s a felon, not a very nice fellow.”
The new Republican strategy has to live in the land of hyperbole and wham, bam, slam punch after punch below the belt. It’s got to be much more nasty than nice.
The mistake Mitt’s people made was to sell the steak without the sizzle. “Catch Obama in contradictions using his own words” I’d hear Hannity say show after show during the campaign.
Hannity’s a talk show host, but he ain’t no marketing guru. Obama’s people went to bed laughing each night they watched highly thought out, rational commercials that lit no right side of the brain fires in the minds of the dummy, unsophisticated, lesser educated voters that Obama hooked, lined and suckered.
The logical, rational, reasoned case the Republicans made against Obama was a huge waste of time and money. Mitt’s third debate subtle, non-confrontary style did something ever worse; it lost a lot of his base; conservative Republican voters who were and continue to be mad as hell at Obama were left frustrated as the runt of a litter of puppies that gets there after all the milk is gone. Many didn’t even make the effort to show up at the polls.
If anybody ever asks you why we lost America in the last election, this little piece may begin to elucidate them. 27 years as a creative director in the biggest agencies on the planet taught me a thing or two about people. And persuasion. Mitt relied on a bunch of political hacks. Who certainly did live up to their name.
Yeah, excellent.
The dismantling of the MSM infrastructure shall now proceed, thanks for getting in on starting it up Mr Owens!
No body does smug disdain in th’media than th’ Washington Post.
Every time a person of color is criticized, the left is quick to point out that it’s because of their race. They really seem to believe that failure and race are inseparable. I’m so glad that my own mind does not work that way, and that I am able to distinguish between a person’s race and their actions. I feel sorry for those leftists who always seem to link skin color with failing. Perhaps they learned to hate when they were children. Perhaps they came from families where such hate was encouraged. What a hard way to go through life!
The WaPO owns The Root. Everyone who has read The Root will not agree with me that it is Stormfront-lite, but to me it is certainly a hate speech site against whites.
The Root’s stories have a disdain for whites threaded throughout that is so embedded in black culture, they don’t even see it. To coin a phrase, blacks who buy into The Root simply hold these truths to be self-evident. Libs buy into the WaPo’s world view and trust me, they don’t see anything wrong with the extreme black political Left in America.
Having retired from a career where routine polygraphs were required, I would be fascinated to see the results of one with Ms Rice in the chair and Benghazi the subject of inquiry. Or her boss for that matter.
Oops, I guess that make me a racist as well. Too bad.
This should surprise no one. Why do you think such an unlikely purveyor of the details surrounding the Benghazi incident would be put on a nationally televised stage to do so? When you understand the mind set of those now in charge of disseminating the “facts” there is no mystery. Susan Rice is a woman and she’s black.
We now live in a world where “Chicago” is a racist code word (see here for a more complete list http://michellemalkin.com/2012/08/31/the-condensed-liberal-handbook-of-racial-code-words/). This establishes the liberal playing field, a field which they now completely control. Benghazi is a potential disaster for Obama and his administration, self professed as the most “open” in history while being the most deceptive and secretive.
That, as the seven hour Benghazi event unfolded, it was “allegedly” shrouded in the “fog of war,” when Obama claims to have killed Osama Bin Laden, “Al Qaeda has been decimated,” his words, and “Benghazi” was a “spontaneous, violent protest against an anti-Muslim film,” “war” may not be the appropriate metaphor. But, that “head scratcher” aside, how best do what they do best and what they must, obfuscate, create diversions and spread slander.
The selection of Susan Rice to propagate the lie is perfect. Any negative criticism against her, as Obama and company fully expected and planned for, could be cast as misogynistic, racism, as the Washington Post and others, have reliably and predictably done. The intent is to push the Benghazi disaster to “the back of the bus” and instead put the target on the backs of those who dare ask pertinent questions. If this crowd is expert at nothing else, as will at some point become apparent, it is demonizing, denigrating and reducing their opponents to “evil, slithering, snakes,” the more evil, slimy, nasty and disgusting, the better (republicans want to let the sick die, push granny off a cliff, favor their “fat cat” corporate buddies, etc.). They’ve got to foment hatred for those who threaten their lofty perch. Their supporters whom they diligently keep in the dark, need villains (republicans, big oil, Wall Street, big banks, the rich, etc.) to deflect their attention away from what is actually being done to them and, by default, to the rest of us who see this crowd of intellectual elites for what they are; feckless, intellectual elites, totally disconnected from the common man they profess to love, who are, intentionally or unconsciously, destroying this country in their determined and now nearly successful effort, to implement a persistent, “Utopian dream” that defies basic human nature, which is why it will end, as it always does, in disaster. The only way to defeat this crowd is to force them to reveal their true intentions, what they have never done and do not want to do for the obvious reason. The truth is their most powerful enemy.
“Hiatt himself lives in Chevy Chase, where the median family income is more than $200,000 per year, and the average home price is $855,000.”
I’m sure there are many blacks who reside in their neighborhoods too, uh huh.
I guess it’s never crossed their minds that a terror attack could happen in their lily white neighborhood, has it? Maybe they will be the next ground zero, and will be ignored. Oh, I hope.
I look forward to the rebuke from the Washington Post’s ombudsman, Patrick Pexton.
I usually listen to news on the radio or read it on the internet. Until I read this article, I assumed Ms. Rice was Caucasian. My opinion of her hasn’t changed by discovering her ethnicity: She is still a puppet for her master.
(I’m being told that I’m posting messages too quickly and need to slow down. My last post was a few days ago. Perhaps I should only post once a week?)
Me too.
I got that same School-Marm wrap across my typing fingers …..POPUP!….OOOOWWWW! for trying to insert a word I’d omitted in a post.
Sigh.
The Washington Post has increasingly become a biased tool of propaganda for the left. The editors have increasingly become intolerant of any idea and belief that differs from theirs. I have experienced this personally myself where my comments over and over had been deleted for no reason whatsoever just because I had spoken up and given my take on the subject matter which differed widely from their point of views.
Now these days wherever I see the Washington Post laying around anywhere, I take it and use it to wipe clean my windows at home and car!
Careful!
It can be gritty, abrasive, and toxic, and may sometimes leave a residue. It’s not very long lasting, however.
Wash, but repeat.
OH, MY LORD… just think about how history would have changed if only Amb. Rice would have said that the attacks at Benghazi had been carried out by an orchestrated attack by Al Qaeda? Then we could open another front in the War on Terror (remember?) and we can quit pretending that we’re any safer from Islamic extremism than we were since 2001.
