I've been reading Free Republic for a long time and it is unsurprisingly racist. When I say "unsurprisingly racist," I mean that there is a tangible subtext of racism, but generally people try to avoid committing an obvious faux pas such as using the "n-word."
No such luck with today's post. Usually, I try to dig up something related to current issues, or at least entertaining, but this is just plain vile. Read past the fold — if you dare.
This post comes from a site called "Firehat." (Google for it, if you really want to see it.) It should have been called "Firehate." It's written by someone named Norman Liebmann who was, apparently, fired from Newsmaxx, a neo-con magazine started by Richard Mellon Scaife. The article was posted in its entirety by a Freeper named firehat (probably Mr. Liebmann) and generally received pretty well.
Without further comment, here are some excerpts.
Obama is a not-so-subterranean Caucasian hater. Remember, Obama was an ardent parishioner in Pastor Jeremiah Wright’s Not Long Out of the Trees Trinity Church. Obama exists only to unload America’s financial largesse on the descendants of their barge-toting bale-lifting ancestors. His principal objective is to smooth out the bumps in America for the blacks. We may soon see traffic signs at every intersection that read, "Stop Whitey, Go Bro".
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and all the other slum wranglers have finally seen their embittered idea of equality established in America. Now the Obama gang will see to it everybody will get his fair share of poverty. The Civil Rights Movement is beginning to morph into The Civil Riots Movement.
Where in the past the blacks resented injustices, now they collect them. Revenge has become their recreational drug. The most marked characteristic is complaining. Ghetto dwellers resent the Oscar award going to a movie about a slum in India when it is their own slums that need to be further glamorized. In the black community racial discontent has become a kind of soul food. One wonders that there were no mutinies aboard slave ships. Perhaps they were waiting for helicopters to be invented so that the Coast Guard could come to rescue them. Among some blacks Federal redemption is ritual.
Oh, it gets worse.
The Obama Administration is the ghettos’ ATM machine. Giving stimulus money to irresponsible people is like slopping the hogs. No matter how often they are slopped, they are still hogs. The stimulus is like trying to cure a junkie’s addiction by lighting his crack pipe for him. Representative Jim Clyburn accused Governors who refused stimulus pork money of being racist. This guy is what you could call "one numb digger".
Digger? Miss the n-key, Norman?
Now, I assumed Norman is Jewish, based on the name, but maybe not (h/t to wystler for pointing out that not everyone with this name is Jewish), judging from this burst of vicious antisemitism:
Obama plans to run the Census from the White House, an idea as totalitarian as the Nuremberg Laws. Obama plans to assign Rahm Emanuel to do the counting, inasmuch as Bernie Madoff is not available. Emanuel is the Obama Administration’s "house Jew". Bill Clinton had dozens of them in his White House - none of whom were engaged in anything that could be described as "strictly kosher". (It might be more democratic to Google-ize the Census and count the glut of Federal recipients by using a Global Positioning System.
It would be a pity if Mr. Liebmann is Jewish, as he'd miss out on a lot of speaking opportunities at Klan rallies.
Anyway, the final suggestion in the article is:
Don’t buy gold. Buy guns.
Yeah, well blacks can buy guns, too, douchebag.
Someone needs to tell O'Reilly: that is what you find on a real hate site.
As of this writing, the post has been on Free Republic for an hour. Obviously, it meets their community standards. To find it, search the site for the title: "THE WASHINGTON SHELL GAME GOES BLACK". (I won't link to it, sorry.)
UPDATE:
Thanks for the rec's and the rec list! It's now been about two hours and the post is still up. I'd say that means it's going to stay up unless they detect too much unwanted attention...
UPDATEx2:
Oh fucking hell. A diary on the Rec List by Phil In Denver has really brought out some racist fucks on this site. It's so ironic that this diary is on the rec list with that diary. Granted, Phil in Denver is not overtly racist, although calling immigrants "carpetbaggers" is pretty harsh. Phil's post does say that most H1Bs are from India. That's factually true, 46% of H1Bs are from India (the largest country represented by far). 4% of H1Bs are from Canada (someone check William Shatner's papers).
While Phil In Denver's post is arguably borderline, many of the comments are not; they are flat-out unambiguously racist. I'm happy to say that these have been HR'ed into oblivion, but who posted them in the first place?!
Gee, I spend all day in the sewer to find this turd on Free Republic and I come back "home" to this?!
