It has started.
Nov. 7th, 2008 09:07 amBy now, I'm sure most everyone on my friends list has heard the bit about Nader calling Obama an "Uncle Tom". He's not the first, and certainly not the last; and the majority of it seems to be coming from the far Left. And not just the Left, but the white Left.
Now, I'm not an Obama supporter by any stretch (as anyone whose ever seem me talking politics), but holy crap that is beyond lame. Seriously. The really fucked-up thing is that it seems to be coming mainly from white liberals. There's a little from influential far-Left Blacks like Robert L. Johnson; but almost nothing from the usual gang of loudmouths who were so quick to demonize Thomas, Powell, and Rice. Why the hell is this happening at all? Seriously, do these morons have any clue when and where they're living? I mean, I'd expect it from nutjobs like Jackson or Sharpton; but where do these white assholes get off throwing that shit around?
The term seems to have morphed in the last few years from it's original meaning of "collaborating with the oppressor" to "insufficiently liberal/left/cult-of-victimhood".
Which is odd, considering just how far left Obama is from the mainstream Democrat party, and how much he panders to the cult-of-victimhood in his rhetoric. But I guess since he isn't actually frothingly insane about it, like Nader and Johnson apparently are, he's just a lackey. Time for more haldoperidol in the water supply, maybe.
