There are some bloggers who insist on digging in the muck for anything possible to taint Sarah Palin in the worst possible light. It seems they don’t even care if what they say is actually true. |
From Politico:
Playing the race card on ‘Going Rogue’
Max Blumenthal goes after Sarah Palin’s co-author, Lynn Vincent, in a broadside that focuses largely on her 2006 collaboration with a conservative blogger, Robert Stacy McCain, whose views on race — he has written critically of interracial marriage, and been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an “extremist” — have since made him a pariah even on [parts of] the right.*
[…]
The pastor of the San Diego megachurch Vincent attends (with Carrie Prejean, natch) is black. She’s also spent most of the last few years on a pair of inspirational books about, basically, racial reconciliation in the friendship between a rich white art dealer and a homeless black drifter, the first of them a Times bestseller. More broadly, she hails from a (large) stream of Evangelicalism that puts racial reconciliation very high on the agenda.
Vincent is — like Palin — well to the right, as Blumenthal notes, on abortion; but the race card (in both cases) seems out of place.
First of all… how long must we be saddled with the little green monster? He is no more “part of the right” than Chris Matthews. Seriously people, you should really check these things.
*RS McCain responds to Ben.
As my Old School editors always told me, “If your mother says she loves you, check it out.” To which I would add this corollary: If a liberal says your mother loves you, your mother hates you.
