Maureen Dowd - The Ultimate in Race Hustling

Maureen Dowd's article in the New York Times goes to lend more credence that race hustling is alive and well; leave it to her to see something that isn't there. Of course this is par for the course with the mainstream media and its left leaning agenda, who spent millions to the Obama administration to get him elected.

Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst was quickly seized upon by the left wing media and Congressional members were quick to condemn the Congressman's heckling, calling for him to apologize. He has done this more than enough times and leave it people like Maureen Dowd to exacerbate the issue by bringing race into it.

Did she have the same "outrage" when Senator Harry Reid called President Bush a liar back in December 2004? As a matter of fact, let's revisit that event for the erudite, Maureen Dowd:

MR. RUSSERT: When the president talked about Yucca Mountain and moving the nation's nuclear waste there, you were very, very, very strong in your words. You said, "President Bush is a liar. He betrayed Nevada and he betrayed the country."

Is that rhetoric appropriate?

SEN. REID: I don't know if that rhetoric is appropriate. That's how I feel, and that's how I felt. I think to take that issue, Tim, to take the most poisonous substance known to man, plutonium, and haul 70,000 tons of it across the highways and railways of this country, past schools and churches and people's businesses is wrong. It's something that is being forced upon this country by the utilities, and it's wrong. And we have to stop it. And people may not like what I said, but I said it, and I don't back off one bit.

More, via Tim Grieve, from a 2005 Rolling Stone sit-down:

RS: You've called Bush a loser.

HR: And a liar.

RS: You apologized for the loser comment.

HR: But never for the liar, have I?

Did Obama lie? That's not the point, now is it? Due to the fact that doctors and health care providers do not have the means and are not allowed to check the legal residency status of anyone, then it becomes quite clear that illegal aliens will be covered on the legal American's taxpayer dime.

But, here is where Maureen Dowd sees the issue when she states:

Surrounded by middle-aged white guys — a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own men’s club — Joe Wilson yelled “You lie!” at a president who didn’t.

But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!

Now how on earth does she see that in Rep. Wilson's outburst? It's quite simple, really. Maureen Dowd is a race baiter and a race hustler, who uses argumentum ad hominems to defend her disgusting and feigned "outrage". This is one of the points I alluded to in a previous article when I pointed out that Contessa Brewer, another race hustler, severley misused a video on one of her programs at MSNBC.

Maureen goes on with her rhetoric:

The congressman, we learned, belonged to the Sons of Confederate Veterans, led a 2000 campaign to keep the Confederate flag waving above South Carolina’s state Capitol and denounced as a “smear” the true claim of a black woman that she was the daughter of Strom Thurmond, the ’48 segregationist candidate for president. Wilson clearly did not like being lectured and even rebuked by the brainy black president presiding over the majestic chamber.

Let's not forget, Maureen, that there are many democrat anti-Semitics, some of whom used it in part of their platforms. Can you say Cynthia McKinney and James Moran, or have you conveniently forgotten that those two people blamed the Jews for the Iraq war and the other was defeated in a campaign?

My question for you, Maureen, is this:

When is Harry Reid going to apologize for calling President Bush a liar?
