Major right wing bloggers not even trying to pretend they’re not racist anymore
With McCain so far down in the polls, right wing bloggers are facing a dilemma. For years they’ve had to speak in racial code speak, always hinting but never blatantly displaying the prejudicial undertones that knit and weave their way into so many of their posts. But now in the final days of the election, with so much at stake, they’ve realized they have no choice but to shed the sheep’s clothing, dig deep into the swirl of muck of racist thought, and fling it at the wall.
Here’s popular conservative blogger Atlas Shrugs writing an entire expose trying to claim that Obama’s father is Malcolm X.
And a quote from popular conservative blogger Ace of Spades this week: “Eh. Here’s the deal: He’s pretty much exactly the same kind of socialist race hustler as Jesse Jackson. Everyone swears he’s not Jesse Jackson. But he is.”
As I’ve pointed out before, these aren’t fringe bloggers or diarists, these are celebrities within the conservative sphere.
This is a stain that will stay with them for a long time to come. I’ll make sure of it.
Simon,
These guys have been at it for weeks. Have you seen Drudge lately? He’s basically saying the same things through his coide of “headlines” and “polls.”
I won’t forget either. They’ve crossed a line that deserves an ass-kicking.

Randall, you didn’t even catch Drudge’s worst offense. Did you see when he was hyping the Nickolodean kids choice poll that showed that Obama only had a few points over McCain? That’s what I call desperate.
it is sad to see that in this day and age there is still rampant racism in this country. it is absolutely disgusting.
i hope that they are indeed stained very badly in the aftermath of the election.
i appreciate knowing there are people with a voice like yours that can be heard over the stupidity.
