Posted by Stories, like the ones below, continue to surface in the midst of any dissenting view of Barack Obama. Yes, America, Barack Obama is our first black president. But No, that does not mean that from here on out, anyone who disagrees with his policies is cloaked in the dark cloud of racism.
Carlos Watson wonders whether socialist is the new N-word.
Victor Goode ponders the use of the word socialist in “Obama’s Post-Racist Presidency” and actually says that when a dissenter refers to Obama or his administration’s policies as socialistic, it “satisfies the same gut sense that” racists satisfied when they ignorantly called Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “That n–.”
Protest posters comparing Bush to Hitler did not encourage the same media outrage over racism as socialist comparisons with the Obama presidency have created. Why?
Please do not dishonor those in our country who actually have been victims of true racism with these accusations. It is no more racist to refer to this president as a socialist than it was to refer to a white president as socialist. I have to think that it is terribly insulting to those African-American citizens who have come before us and were subjected to the cruel realities of racism when these comparisons are drawn. We will never be a post-racist society when “playing the race card” continues to be the strategy of the day.

Hmm:
I think the point here is that there is a difference between simple name calling as an abusive ad hominim attack, and actually making the case that the President is a Socialist.
Comments like “You can’t believe Obama when he says he doesn’t want to take over the Auto industry. He is a Socialist”, are just straight forward propaganda. Actually attempting to make the case that President Obama is a socialist, is a whole different matter. Something like “President Obama’s support of Public Schools, a Public Police force, Public Fire Departments, Public Roads, and Public Transportation, proves he is just as much a Socialist as most Americans alive today” does not engage in leveling the label “Socialist” as an insult, but actually makes the case that he is a Socialist.
I am not sure if Mr. Goode’s point is that RACIST “name calling” and POLITICALLY INSPIRED name calling “satisfies the same gut sense” to attack and belittle your target, but that is what I took away from what he said.
