Dissent is not only unpatriotic -- it's "racist"

UPDATED!

Further confirmation of what we've argued for some time -- that any dissent against the globalist agenda will be condemned as "racist." First, let's hear from the sanctimonious twerps at Daily Kos, who are all hot and bothered by the Tea Party protests, as well as the town hall meetings where constituents have challenged DC's takeover of health care:

It is more than a little troubling that each of the recent, most explicitly aggressive and loud and factless "movements" to appear on the scene since our first black American president took office appear to be, in large part, made up of the same people. ... They are nearly exclusively white, predominantly middle aged and elderly, and unambiguously conservative.

Which makes these gatherings illegitimate, apparently. But there's more:

... many of the paranoid healthcare protestors are "teabaggers" as well, and many of those "teabaggers" are "birthers" besides, and the whole parcel is, from polling, clearly a fringe movement based most substantially in the Southern states, the only remaining stronghold of the party that contains them. And -- there is no way around it -- America has just now elected the first black president. The very first, after two centuries and then some, and even though I am in the terribly liberal, very nearly socialist hellhole of California I can still go no more than a few miles from my home and see the confederate battle flag [sic] hanging from a living room window, or stuck to the bumper of a worn and battered truck.

Here's another one, from Keith Boykin of the Daily Voice:

The woman yelling "I want my country back" at a recent town hall meeting was not complaining about Obama's policies. She was complaining about his race. ...
Winning back the country, of course, means taking America back to a time when we didn't have a black president, a wise Latina Supreme Court justice, or half a dozen states with gay marriage. It means a small group of angry white people in middle America, led by rich white media figures who exploit the angst of the masses, can hijack the national dialogue with the very unseemly behavior that they would decry when practiced by minorities.

It must be wonderful to be able to read minds. No matter what people may claim, Boykin knows racism is their actual motivation in opposing Obama's policies.

UPDATE: How could I have forgotten John Dingell?

Well, the last time I had to confront something like this was when I voted for the civil rights bill and my opponent voted against it. At that time, we had a lot of Ku Klux Klan folks and white supremacists and folks in white sheets and other things running around causing trouble.

Thank you, congressman. That'll encourage reasoned, respectful debate. See memeorandum for the video.

I guess the next step in this spiral of "obey or be damned" is to equate any opposition to the government's total control of our lives as racism.

Uh-oh! Someone's already there:

But what concerns me is when in some of those town hall meetings including the one that we saw in Missouri recently where there were jokes made about lynching, etc., you start to wonder whether in fact the word socialist is becoming a code word, whether or not socialist is becoming the new N-word for frankly for some angry upset birthers and others.

Of course, all the crabby lefties quoted above properly understand the meaning of "racism" in its original usage. It was Leon Trotsky who coined the term to condemn those who preferred the traditional ways of their forebears to the "enlightened" policies of communism. Looks like history's repeating itself again, and it clearly feels like farce.
