It Still Has Nothing To Do W/ Race: It's About Being A Race Traitor

Reprinted in toto from TAPPED.

Question Of The Day.

Matt Duss catches David Goldman at Human Events asking a really important question: Does shtupping Muslim men make you love Islam and hate America?

I’ve been screaming about this for more than two years: Obama is the loyal son of a left-wing anthropologist mother who sought to expiate her white guilt by going to bed with Muslim Third World men. He is a Third World anthropologist studying us, learning our culture and our customs the better to neutralize what he considers to be a malignant American influence in world affairs.

Maybe people can't hear Goldman from outside the padded room, I dunno. The idea that Obama's mother was in loving, committed relationships with both of these men never crosses Goldman's mind. The only relevant fact about them that matters is that they are "Muslim Third World Men," and Ann Dunham's intimacy with them can be based on nothing else.

John Podheretz and Peter Wehner argue that whether or not Obama's mother slept with men who weren't white is incidental to the fact that Obama hates America, but Michael Ledeen thinks it's a valid subject for discussion:

The character of our president is an important matter. I think both John and David have tried to illuminate it, but I wish John had taken more time with his latest tirade, gotten the facts right, and focused his considerable talent on the serious matters that rightly concern us.

Apparently being attracted to people outside of your own race reflects not just on the character of the parents, but on their children who have no choice in the matter. This kind of racial determinism seems like a lateral movement from the days when conservatives were debating whether or not interracial sex made you love communism. Again, there's a sort of mystical power accorded the phalluses of nonwhite men here that begs some serious psychological analysis from a qualified professional.

Why don't black people vote Republican again?
