Assrocket From The Crypt

Ooo-wee! "Race-baiters," & of course, the "dementia defense."
"A billionaire asks his African-American mistress not to post certain pictures on Instagram: is that what the 'legacy of race and slavery and segregation' has come down to?" Hinderaker wrote. "Are the 'vestiges of discrimination' so slight that this lovers’ spat is the subject of a presidential news conference?"
Good job ignoring everything else involved, Hinder. The "subject of a Presidential press conference?" Hardly. One question was asked at an already scheduled joint event w/ the P.M. of Malaysia. Does the tee vee lawyer phrase "facts not in evidence" mean anything to this alleged legal eagle?

Later, we see the "subject" in the atty.'s own words:
The story caught up with President Obama in Malaysia, where he was asked about it. (Note how strange this is: If dozens of bodies had been discovered in Sterling’s back yard and he had been discovered to be a serial killer, it never would have occurred to a reporter to bring it up.) Obama naturally used the opportunity to make a political point ...
Strange indeed. Politicians making political points. I'm pretty damn sure if no one had asked about it Lawyer Heinie would've made that his political point. Odd that Mr. Hinderaker seems, like his hero Sterling, to be color-blind & hasn't noticed that our President is "of color." (I also suspect there's jealousy involved, as the only point HInderaker seems able to make is the one on his head. [RIMSHOT!!!])

The carrousel of clichés continues: If you're not actively lynching anyone you can't be a racist,
What makes this bizarre is that Stiviano herself if [sic] black and Mexican, a fact that she reminds Sterling of during their argument. The situation is otherworldly, in that Sterling seems not to have noticed that his own girlfriend is black.
which only reveals Hinderaker's deep if not calculated ignorance of racial, sexual, economic & power dynamics in these United Snakes. To wit:
Sterling tells his mixed-race girlfriend that he has a problem with her associating with black people because she’s “supposed to be a delicate white or a delicate Latina girl.” Uhm, what?
Legal mind reading:
The political motive to make Donald Sterling the poster boy for 21st century racism is obvious, but is he actually a racist? I have never met the man, but it doesn’t seem probable.
Is this moron trying out for a drag presentation of the Helen Keller story, w/ him as the heroine?

Enough. Savor more straight up delusion & evasion from one of America's finest legal minds here.
