Jack Cafferty: If Obama loses, it’s because of racism

…if you vote against someone on account of their race as a primary factor, its’ racism.

…if, as with 90% of the already Democratic black voting block, you vote for someone one account of his race as a primary factor, it’s racism.

racism n.
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

…see…from a real dictionary, not the bowels of the Democratic Ministry of Truth…

Well, try this on for size:

dis·crim·i·na·tion (d-skrm-nshn)
n.

2. The ability or power to see or make fine distinctions; discernment.

ibid.

…so, to choose — discriminate=choose from among what’s on offer — based on race, racism.

To claim that someone losing an election based on racism?

whine (hwn, wn)
v. whined, whin·ing, whines
v.intr.
1. To utter a plaintive, high-pitched, protracted sound, as in pain, fear, supplication, or complaint.
2. To complain or protest in a childish fashion.

ibid.

…so, it would seem that Mr. C is preemptively whining…as in “He’s a bad man, Mr. Policeman, and I know he’s gonna steal my candy, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Still…while November the 5th may be as calm as a millpond (aside from the inevitable, endless “analysis” by opinion whores and actual whining from those off beyond the left side of reality) if Mr. McCain wins, it might be wise to stock up water, batteries and MREs for the promised race-riots and demonstrations.

…it worked for Y2K….

…if a black man can run an hard-fought party primary campaign…

…and then lose in the general election because his decisions were as screwed up as a football bat…

…because his staff were as dextrous as an elephant on ice skates

…and because the media — his erstwhile champions — were as blinded by their own agendas when his opponent chose a citizen instead of an insider as a running mate (picture a cat chasing a laser pointer here)

…I’d have to call it “democracy in action”…losing fair and square. That proves the health of the system.

The man will have lost because he wasn’t entitled to the position…he fought and lost an election, even with muddying of the race and gender issues by his own people and partisans, on merit.

Maybe next time a black man — or woman, or black woman, or a gay left-handed Jewish Eskimo with a harelip in a wheelchair — can win fair and square…because of the campaign he fights….

…you know…on the merits….
