How Do You Dismantle an Atomic-Era Narrative?

February 5, 2011 - 1:48 pm - by Ed Driscoll

She certainly fooled me: “Nikki Haley Is a Racist White Man. Or Something,” Jesse Hathaway quips at NewsReal:

This is just another example of the paradox that can not be solved by progressive thought—if one accepts, as an a priori principle that conservatism is racism, then how can one explain Nikki Haley, Allen West, Tim Scott, Ken Blackwell, Thomas Sowell or any of the growing number of, as Jones phrases it, “non-white” conservatives that shouldn’t—but, frustratingly, do—exist.

Or as the Christian Science Monitor describes Lila Rose:

“The ultimate goal of this new generation of right-wing muckrakers is the overthrow of the perceived liberal-leaning mainstream media narrative on touchstone political issues such as guns, racism, and abortion. Rose casts her work in light of the civil-rights movement of the 1960s, and her videos are the tinder for peaceful social insurrection.”

I’d say it’s a rather strong perception these days.

    Along with this is the inevitable fury and personal destruction aimed at any attractive female conservative. It really is remarkable. Mike Huckabee is a former TV preacher, evangelical Christian, and Governor. Newt Gingrich was Clinton’s bete noir in the 1990′s and a man of dubious personal history. One would think they, not Sarah Palin, nor Nikki Haley, nor inevitably Lila Rose, would be the main targets of personal destruction.

    Yet who does the media go after? Its the Christine O’Donnells, the Palins the Haleys, and yes inevitably, the Lila Roses. They really hate attractive, youngish conservative women.

    “Progressive thought”… the phrase that will replace “objective journalist” as the most oxymoronic of our time.
