Racist Dennis See Racism Where There Is None & Makes Bogus Politically-Motivated Accusations

Over on the blog rAtional nAtion uSA the proprietor, one Lester Nation, recently put up a commentary in which he called out "hypocritical" Democrats. "Hypocritical" because they're making (or being asked to make) large donations to fund Democratic political operations... while, at the same time criticizing people on the other side (like the Koch Brothers) for doing the "same" thing.

Article referred to by Mr. Nation as follows (excerpts)...

Politico... David Brock has a message for liberal millionaires: Don't sweat being called hypocrites. Brock, a former "right-wing hit-man"-turned-top-big-money-Democratic-operative, is part of a behind-the-scenes campaign to convince donors it's OK to attack the Koch brothers for spending millions of dollars while doing the exact same thing for the left. "You're not in this room today trying to figure out how to rig the game so you can be free to make money poisoning little kids, and neither am I", Brock told donors this month at a conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico, according to someone who attended the conference, but who declined to be identified because it was closed to the press. "Subscribing to a false moral equivalence is giving the Kochs exactly what they want: keeping us quiet about what they're doing to destroy the very fabric of our nation", added Brock, whose deep-pocketed nonprofit groups are leading the charge to make the conservative megadonors Charles and David Koch an issue in the 2014 midterms. (Link).

First, let me say that I am in complete and total agreement with Mr. Brock. There is no "hypocrisy" as Mr. Nation alleges. It would be stupid for Democrats to unilaterally disarm. I am, for the record, strongly in favor of campaign finance reform that would limit the influence of the big donors - on BOTH sides. And given the fact that the candidate who spends the most usually wins, it can NOT be denied that the big donors influence elections. Some would say they BUY them.

I am in agreement with those who use the word "buy" and believe the voters should be allowed to decide without a constant barrage of propaganda to confuse them. Although I do believe that the propaganda from the Right is comprised of many many lies, while the "propaganda" from the Left is helpful in getting the facts out.

Still, I think that (to be fair), and also, because the Republicans would never accept a situation in which ONLY their side was restricted in it's spending - the ONLY way to achieve this reform would be to limit the spending of groups (or the donating by wealthy people/special interests) on both sides.

Lester claims that is what he is in favor of as well, but I don't quite buy it, given his "Democrats are hypocrites" angle. He just did a post on the Clintons... pointing out their "hypocrisy" for FOLLOWING THE LAW.

But that isn't the point I want to make with this commentary. The point I want to make concerns a certain blogger who OFTEN levies charges of racism against African Americans or against any Democrat. Black Democrats (primarily) and Democrats (in general) are the "real racists" in this deluded fool's mind (and I use the term loosely).

Dennis Marks (the racially biased individual in question) saw "racism" in the post about David Brock appealing to Liberal donors. Specifically the following line from the article (one that appears later than the excerpt above)...

Steve Phillips, a member of the secretive Democracy Alliance club of major liberal donors [said] "My sense for voters of color is that the issues of income inequality, housing, education, immigration reform, health care and criminal justice reform would resonate more".

In response to this line, the bigoted Dennis submitted the following...

dmarks: Brock is now blinded by the left. And the racism described (or pushed) by Phillips is creepy. (6/25/2014 AT 09:05:00 AM EDT).

What a (racist) dope! What Dennis describes as "racism" is actually a Democratic strategist seeking to win votes by addressing the concerns of a specific demographic. This is a strategy employed by both the Left and the Right (because it works). Although the demographic Republicans usually try to appeal to are (homophobic/racist/bigoted/anti-choice/anti-woman) White (male) voters (and they do a very bad job of appealing to Black voters).

This fact, I believe is Dennis' REAL objection. He doesn't understand (as most White Conservatives do not) why the majority of African Americans vote Democratic. And he also does not like it. In fact he HATES IT! Which is why a Democrat explaining how Democrats will win votes from the African American demographic elicits lies from Dennis concerning the getting of these votes being "racist".

How utterly ridiculous! But not at all surprising, given Dennis' blindness to racism on the Conservative side. A blindness that includes (for reals) his DEFENDING the Southern Strategy! And false attributions of "racism" for Democrats. That's another hallmark Dennis' racially biased modus operandi (he has an anti-Semitic modus operandi as well. See here for the scoop on that).

That someone could (and does very frequently) see racism in others (those he disagrees with politcally) WHERE THERE IS NONE, while not in himself (where it actually is) - and FREQUENTLY blather on about it - is what is "creepy" in my opinion. And the fact that he is never called out for pushing his racism is another thing that bothers me; hence this commentary. I call you out for the ugly racist that you are dmarks!
