Mychal Massie spews another word salad of Obama-hate in his Sept. 1 WorldNetDaily column. Here’s a sample:
Now, except for those who are in a terminal state of denial based on an Erebusic ideology and color of skin, there is no longer any doubt that Obama is a neo-Leninist Muslim sympathizer who is committed to transmogrifying America into something that will be unidentifiable to the America our Founding Fathers provided for vis-a-vis our Constitution.
But there’s more. As he’s wont to do, Massie drops numerous falsehoods in his column. Like this: “And the utilities he has used to do so are right out of Saul ‘the Red’ Alinsky’s Communist handbook.” Actually, Alinsky wasn’t a communist, and Massie hismelf is following Alinsky’s book “Rules for Radicals” to a T in his attacks on Obama, especially the part about freezing and polarizing his target.
Massie also falsely claimed that Obama “sent an ‘armada’ of representatives” to “hoodlum” Michael Brown’s funeral. In fact, only three low-level White House aides attended the funeral.
Then, Massie invokes his black conservative privilege to conclude: “As I stated, it is time to call a spade a spade and this one is named Obama.” While Massie couches the “spade” reference through its use in the century-old play “The Importance of Being Earnest,” he seems not to understand that — or is being deliberately obtuse about — the fact that language evolves, and Oscar Wilde’s use of the term in a Victorian drawing-room comedy of manners has quite a different meaning when applied to a black man.
Since we know Massie loves his thesaurus, he might be interested to know that “spade” has become a rather derogatory term when applied to a black man.
Ask yourself: Would Massie have gotten away with saying such a thing were he not a black man himself? Massie apparently believes he can, given that he has previously denigrated a black woman as a “Negress” and told blacks to go back to Africa. So why wouldn’t he paradoxically hurl racial slurs at someone with whom he shares his race?
