The Bush-Hater Is A Race-Baiter

(from top: Lil' Rascal Buckwheat, Representative Cynthia Mckinnon, President Bush as Buckwheat, monkey-montage of President Bush)

Republicus was recently visited by blogger John Roper
(http://johnpatrickroper.blogspot.com/ ) and Republicus returned the courtesy by paying him a visit.

He noticed that Mr. Roper had just opened his own blog and Republicus saw fit to leave a few comments to get the ball rolling for the fellow blogger.

The posts are comprised of visuals which speak for themselves.

One such post was called "Buckwheat Cloned!" and consisted only of the picture of Representative Cynthia Mckinnon above.

Republicus gasped in astonishment and "LOL"-ed.

Just compare the top two pics of Buckwheat and Representative Mckinnon to see what Republicus found humorous: The expression and hair-do of the congresswoman most certainly evokes Our Pal Buckwheat's in that picture (and Buckwheat was called a "she" in his earliest appearances, if memory serves).

Enter Lee Harvey (swooping in like a moonbat out of hell):

To recap, Lee Harvey was banned from Republicus for causing another guest--Kelly--to leave because of the offensive, lowbrow tactlessness he directed at her. However, Republicus felt bad soon thererafter and reinstated his privileges at Republicus, provisionally: That he apologize to Kelly and stop the damn importation of lengthy, lefty opinion pieces (he could feel free to provide links to them if he felt that strongly about their opinion and was too dense to communicate the gist of them himself).

But, rather than apologizing to the woman, he decides instead to appear as "Anonymous" here and there and carry on venting his two cent's (if not penny's) worth under the guise of some mystery man.

Fine. He makes the job of Republicus easy by providing the same examples of easily-diagrammed and de-constructed liberal-think, anyway (as you shall see here), and at least there was no more importation of the opinion pieces.

Furthermore, his decision to skulk around anonymously rather than having to apologize to Kelly just confirms his own skullduggery.

Meanwhile, he lurks and carefully watches who's coming and going at Republicus and spies to see who they are and where they're coming from like a typical nosey liberal who needs to know everyone's business.

Clicking on Mr. Roper's name, he sees the Buckwheat post and decides that Roper is a "bigot." Then he sees that Republicus visited the blog and--"A-ha!"--left the "LOL" comment at that post, so Lee Harvey rushes back to "out" Republicus as a "racist" in the last post (which has since been deleted because Republicus was informed that it was another chain-email hoax), in his determination to slander and discredit him (he has called Republicus stuff like "twisted," a "fascist," "blind," and now "racist").

Lee Harvey said nothing at Mr. Roper's blog, but decided to do his slandering at Republicus, calling him "lowbrow" and both he and Mr. Roper--Republicus' guest-- not just "racists," and not just "incredible" racists," but "patent" racists" in his characteristic, over-the-top hyperbole meant to be taken seriously, all because Mr. Roper posted the above bad hair-day pic of Representative McKinnon and titled it "Buckwheat Cloned!" and Republicus, astonished, LOL-ed (which, if not innocuous, is bad manners, but "racist?").

But get this:

1) Representative Mckinnon, in that pic, with that expression and hairdo, does, in fact, bear a striking resemblance to Our Pal Buckwheat's own expression and hair-do.

No?

Yes. It's an objective observation.

2) Ironically, while calling Mr. Roper and Republicus "incredibly racist" for making the comparison and "LOL"-ing, respectively, Lee Harvey fails to see that he is playing the same reverse-racism race-card that Representative McKinnon played to justify why she struck a U.S. Capital Building security guard who didn't recognize her and asked her to stop at a checkpoint.

She has since apologized.

Will Lee Harvey apologize?

Hell no.

3) Look at the third pic that has made its rounds on the Internet:

It's President Bush as Buckwheat!

Is that "O-tay," Spanky?

If so, why? Why is it o-tay to to put the POTUS' face on a rascally ragamuffin who happens to be African-American, but it's not o-tay to chuckle about an expressive resemblance between that very ragamuffin and a U.S. Representative, who's also African American--unless, of course, it is you who is engaging in racial discrimination?

Explain.

4) The fourth pic is a montage of Bush's facial expressions compared to a chimp's, which raised lotsa laughs from the childish Bush-hating crowd for quite some time, with Bush being called "monkey Bush," or "Simian-In-Chief" or some such for months (until the historical ignoramuses that are the Bush-haters caught wind that Abraham Lincoln was called "Ape Lincoln" and so dropped any inconvenient comparison with one of our greatest presidents).

Did Lee Harvey have a problem with that?

Hell no.

But what would Lee Harvey say if the chimpanzee montage was with Representative Mckinnon?

And what about Representative Mckinnon's lawyer, who in the midst of an argument on Hannity & Colmes-- wherein he insisted that the incident with the congeresswoman was racially motivated-- called Sean Hannity a "rich white boy"?

What the hell is that?

Then he conceded that he didn't know how "rich" Hannity was, but left the part about "white boy" unretracted.

But if Hannity called the lawyer a "black boy" (or even a "rich black boy"), well, Hannity would be out of a job, understandably as that sort of thing should not be tolerated given the actual and tragic racial discriminations in relatively recent American history that created exceptional sensitivities, but shame on the lawyer's own insensitivity to the glaring double-standard and his failure to lead by example.

Meanwhile, how many times has Lee Harvey characterized the Bush administration (which is the most ethnically diverse in American history)--and Republicus himself--as "anglo-fascists?"

Plenty of times.

BUT THAT'S O-TAY!
