Welcome to "Spot The Racist!" the new game sweeping the nation!! Brought to you by the same people who gave you such classics as "Your Lunch Is Killing Flipper!" and "Your SUV Is Going To Kill Us All!"
So, are you ready to get started? Let's see the first contestant, and don't be shy! When you see a racist just shout out!
The increasingly hysterical use of the the race card by liberal columnists, bloggers and politicians reflects the last gasps of people who, being unable to win an argument on the merits, seek to end the argument.
While the false accusation of racism is not a new tactic, it has been refined by Obama supporters into a toxic powder which is causing damage to the social fabric of the country by artificially injecting race into every political issue.
DING, DING, DING. Racist?
Of course! Only a true racist would decry the negative effects of labelling one's political opponent a racist!
You are off to a good start! Keep up the good work. Next contestant please...
Maureen Dowd:
The normally nonchalant Barack Obama looked nonplussed, as Nancy Pelosi glowered behind.
Surrounded by middle-aged white guys — a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own men’s club — Joe Wilson yelled “You lie!” at a president who didn’t.
But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!
DING, DING, DING. Not a racist?
Hooray! Two for two! Of course only a non-racist would feel comfortable calling other people racists regardless of whether it is fair or not.
Next!
Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies R. Danielle Egan:
DING, DING, DING. Not a racist????
Wow! You are good at this! I didn't even provide a quote yet! Of course someone who is enlightened enough to be a gender and sexuality prof couldn't be a racist (assuming, of course, they are not studying male hetero-sexuality!)
Next!

A few months ago, during the Obama-at-Notre Dame controversy, I had a conversation with a journalist, during which I opined that the whole issue of life versus death was—and has been since the time of Moses—a contest between light and dark, and would continue to be so. The journalist said, “you just said ‘black and white,’” and teased me for being a racist.
But I’d said “light and dark,” and he admitted, when he stopped laughing, that he had heard “light and dark,” but had immediately extrapolated it to “black and white” and then thought of Obama, hence the tease.
This fellow is no one’s idea of a racist (including mine), and he was a vocal supporter of President Obama. But it was his mind, not mine, that went there.
DING, DING, DING. Racist?
Perfecto! Obviously, someone who would question the media's perception of race matters has to be a racist themselves. Besides, any "vocal supporter of President Obama" must be a non-racist, thus, logically speaking, any "vocal non-supporter" of President Obama must be racist.
The beauty of "Spot The Racist!" is once you have the rules down you can play it whenever and wherever you feel like it. If people complain about your doing that, well... you know what that makes them.
