Andrew Sullivan is the latest to take up the torch that an Obama loss will only be because of rampant racism among whites, particularly white males.
God, how much energy must it take to do these mental gymnastics to convince yourself that, regardless of the lack of any proof for your theory, you still can manage to come to a conclusion that flies in the face of rational thought.
I could more easily say, and with more data to back it up, that if Obama wins it is because of the racist blacks in the country who are voting for Obama simply because he is black! And I would be right! How else do you explain
a poll reporting that Obama pulls 94% of the black vote, while Mitt Romney pulls in exactly, are you ready for this, ZERO percent(!)? That can only be explained by a completely monolithic world-view across an entire race of people who see Barack Obama and Mitt Romney only by the color of their skin, and not the content of their character. Under Obama, the black community has actually done worse economically compared to other racial groups, so it would only be logical to think that some blacks who voted for Obama in 2008 would peel away to Romney. But Obama's support in the black community has remained virtually unchanged. So you have to assume that regardless of his policies, his leadership, or character, their decision first and foremost is based on Obama's skin color. This, after decades of being propagandized by the race-hustlers (Jackson, Sharpton), race baiters (CBC, NAACP, etc.), and the true plantation owners, known as the Democrat leadership.
However, I believe that the polls, like most of them, are wrong, and are being used to drive a narrative. The narrative being that it is practically treasonous for a black person to vote for anyone but a Democrat, and especially a black Democrat. I believe that the media will be surprised to find out on election day, that more than a few will vote for Romney, and many others, realizing Obama's impact on the black community has been devastating, and not wanting to vote for four more years of Obama, but unwilling to vote for Romney, will simply sit out the Presidential vote.
Obama I believe, will lose on November 6th, but it won't be cause of racist whites, but may include a blacks who are dispirited after 4 years of being sold a bill of goods.
ANDREW SULLIVAN: RACIST ROMNEY VOTERS LIKE 'THE OLD CONFEDERACY'
by WARNER TODD HUSTON 28 Oct 2012
On the Sunday, October 28 edition of ABC's This Week, Andrew Sullivan of The Daily Beast claimed that Obama might lose this election because the whole South is filled with racists that are somehow just like the Old Confederacy.
As George Will noted, according to Sullivan all the whites that were not racist in 2008 suddenly are racist in 2012. In a discussion of the "racial gap" in this year's election, Sullivan declared all southerners to be racists and are sliding back into the civil war. "If Virginia and Florida go back to the Republicans, it's the Confederacy, entirely. You put the map of the civil war over this electoral map you got the civil war," he said.
