It has been my opinion that an Obama presidency would be disastrous, chiefly, although certainly not exclusively, because he is a black liberal whose supporters would cry racism if he or his wife were criticized in any way – be the criticism real or perceived – thus providing both he and his wife a veneer of Teflon and undeserved freedom from critical examination.
To my point, television personality Star Jones – who is best known for reportedly shaking down companies for expensive wedding gifts and until recently, also for sporting a physique that was proportionately inescapable – is a perfect example.
Jones attacked Bill O'Reilly for comments he made in response to a caller on his radio show speaking about Ms. Obama's now infamous speech in which she said, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country." O'Reilly told the listener, "I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that's how she really feels – that [this] is a bad country or flawed nation, whatever – then that's legit. We'll track it down."

In Jones' mind it was legitimate for the potential next first lady to make such comments, but O'Reilly's use of the word "lynch" as a synonym for attack was racist. She railed, "How dare a white man with a microphone … think … he can still put the words 'lynch and party' in the same sentence with reference to a black woman?"

I recall no such outrage when "white" WTDY radio host John Sylvester called Secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice Aunt Jemima, and called the former secretary of state, Gen. Colin Powell, an Uncle Tom. I recall a deafening cacophony of silence when Sylvester refused to apologize to them. I also remember him saying that his black listeners supported him in his comments. But to be fair, maybe Jones didn't know Dr. Rice was black. After all, in her world one need not be intelligent, aware or informed. They need only hate conservatives.
I remember no such outrage from Ms. Jones when Dr. Rice was depicted as a bird with thick lips. Nor do I recall any such outrage when Dr. Rice's facial features were superimposed on a dog. I do remember Julian Bond, chairman of the NAACP, reportedly forcing then president of same, Kweisi Mfume, to resign because of his growing public support of Dr. Rice pursuant to the attacks against her.

Also to my point – in a recent column in which I referred to Ms. Obama as an "angry black harridan," I received a letter from Sandra Phillips, of Pine Bluff, Ark., in which she assailed me for what she interpreted as "hatefulness to endear [myself] to [my] white, Republican, conservative compatriots" – terming me a "sad example of blackness" for daring "to attack a black woman" – the truth of my comments notwithstanding. Where was Ms. Phillips' outrage when senatorial candidate Michael Steele was pelted with Oreo cookies? Or was that permissible because Michael is a man, because it was done by blacks, or a combination of both? Where was her outrage at the vicious ad hominem attacks of Justice Clarence Thomas, Ward Connerly and John McWhorter?
Phillips wrote that Ms. Obama educated herself, worked and was married when she had her children – asking if that wasn't enough to "satisfy folks like me," where "white were the only thing that was ever right in our world." It would seem that said thought was not applicable in her mind when federal Judge Janice Rogers Brown, also a black woman, suffered unmentionable ad hominem attacks specifically because she was said to be a conservative jurist, although she also had worked her way through law school, raised a family and cared for her late spouse. Mrs. Brown is apparently antithetical to Phillips' perverse endogamy of duplicity and moral opprobriousness.
Where is the outrage by blacks who feign insult and cry racism when Barack Obama, the potential next president, pledges his uncompromised support of abortion – and thus tangential support of Planned Parenthood?
Planned Parenthood is the progeny of Margaret Sanger, who said there was an "ever increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all." Sanger also wrote, "We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population" – a job Planned Parenthood is accomplishing to the tune of approximately 1,500 unborn black children a day.
Where is the outrage against a black presidential candidate who has fiercely supported the systematic extermination of the black unborn his entire career – who in so doing also supports the entity that has built 80 percent of its abortion clinics in low-income minority neighborhoods to specifically target black women? This is the same Planned Parenthood that supports said racist ideology and was recently recorded acknowledging that whites wanting fewer blacks born is understandable.

The potential next president and first lady deserve the harshest ridicule and condemnation – not because they're black – but because of their over the top extreme liberalism, because they are bad for America, and more specifically, because they are death dealers to unborn blacks.
