Dulcinea Dowd nails it...and I remember why I love her so dearly!

I’ve been loath to admit that the shrieking lunacy of the summer — the frantic efforts to paint our first black president as the Other, a foreigner, socialist, fascist, Marxist, racist, Commie, Nazi; a cad who would snuff old people; a snake who would indoctrinate kids — had much to do with race.

I tended to agree with some Obama advisers that Democratic presidents typically have provoked a frothing response from paranoids — from Father Coughlin against F.D.R. to Joe McCarthy against Truman to the John Birchers against J.F.K. and the vast right-wing conspiracy against Bill Clinton.

But Wilson’s shocking disrespect for the office of the president — no Democrat ever shouted “liar” at W. when he was hawking a fake case for war in Iraq — convinced me: Some people just can’t believe a black man is president and will never accept it.

Yeah, well, I wasn't hesitant to say it, but I'm not a lady with a degree from the Gentile side of Catholic Education. She is, and the rapier is more Maureen Dowd's style than the AXE. But, she's skewered the bastards. This is what every commentator and citizen who is not comatose has thought for months. They've done everything but yell "Coon-ass half-breed nigger at the guy, call his mother a nigger-lovin' whore and hung him in effigy. Guess what -- Michael Steele is an Uncle Tom; there's a reason why finding black faces in the Republican party is hard. The party of Lincoln has been captured by the party of Nathan Bedford Forrest. Not the great General, but the racist slave-trader who butchered Black Union soldiers.

This madness is sooooo Birth of a Nation. Joe Wilson appears to be getting ready to ride; all he needs is a sheet. South Carolina is almost a theme park anyway -- they have Charleston, Columbia, and alligators; an endless supply of toothless hillbillies; and, an actual bunch of nitwits. We really ought to consider walling the place in and charging admission.

Andrew Jackson threatened to hang John C. Calhoun for his nullification nonsense. I kind of wish he had -- the last 170 years might have been quieter.

Actually, if you google Birth of a Nation, you can find the whole movie. It's long since been in the public domain.
