What's Mallard raving about today?
GOP Candidates, Racism, The Media
Mallard, it's a lovely persecution complex you have going here. Part of the grievance-based ideology, I understand.
But here's my challenge to you: List specific incidents in which a GOP candidate said something that was decried in a mainstream media source as racist code or being dog whistle politics, and let's analyze what was said and see if the answer is for the media to stop decrying harmless things as racism or maybe, just maybe, the answer is for GOP candidates to stop saying things that are racist in nature.
I'm willing to take my chances on which of those proves to be true.
Unfortunately such a challenge is doomed from the start, since the usual standard for analysis is whether a reasonable person would find it racist. Mallard will, of course, insist he is a proxy for all reasonableness, and doesn't find the phrase "food stamp President" racist in any way: "What could possibly be racist about that? There are white people on food stamps. And some of my best friends are black."

Funny thing: This and yesterday's had me thinking of George Allen's infamous "macaca" incident. And now I find that, apparently about a week ago, he finally kinda-sorta apologized for that.
Of course, if you take him literally, what he actually apologized for was for singling the oppo filmer out, not for how he singled him out; there's nothing wrong with pointing out someone working for the other guy, it was doing so by calling him "macaca" that was the problem.
But yea, what dogwhistle? I don't hear a thing!
Tinsley provides further proof that he is a real-life version of the stupid hypocritical book-burner whose name does not come to mind from Fahrenheit 451. He is saying that pamphlets are better than real literature, and anyone who writes something lengthy is a racist fascist liberal.
This is not to dismiss the horrors of Tinsley's unparalleled racism, however: He is saying that any statement protecting others is Communism. He wants a world where everyone is anarchic and narcissistic, where no one will receive any assistance or kindness, and everyone is an extremist White Christian fanatic from the Deep South.
@Randy: Calling him "macaca" and, as Bryan Lambert points out, telling a kid who was born and raised in the Old Dominion "Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia."
WV: jinesper, one who thinks they've found psychic powers in the bottom of a bottle.
Tinsley: Sociopath said..."This is not to dismiss the horrors of Tinsley's unparalleled racism, however: He is saying that any statement protecting others is Communism.

The sad rantings of an obviously mentally ill individual, who really should seek professional help.

Finest description of Mallard Fillmore I've ever seen.
I don't know. I thought that paragraph, at least, was spot on. Either he wants that world and is actively working to bring it about, or he's too stupid to realize that such a world would be the inevitable result of the policies he promotes. Either way, in a sane world he'd be very far away from where children could find him and put him in their mouth; the only difference is whether he'd be getting regularly beaten like a carpet.
Personally, I welcome the reichwing's whining about being called "racist" because, let's face it, most of America is tired of their racism. So the more it gets brought up, the more America turns against them.
Meanwhile, in reality, the Wisconsin State Police (headed by an ally of Scott Walker) is arresting people for walking in the state capitol carrying a camera.
If you're afraid of someone seeing you do something, you probably should not be doing it!
"If you act now, we'll also include this tiny pamphlet of things that might be okay to say. It used to be titled 'Things Conservatives Say that Aren't Actually Racist,' but we couldn't sell them under that name, so they've been retitled, and we'll give them to you for free, just like we do with all those copies of Ann Coulter's books and Jonah Goldberg's books — and of course, we'll count this as sales, since they've all been bought by Scaife Enterprises!"
