Michelle Malkin’s piece is a good, well written piece of how it really is commentary. Nonetheless, and as usual the comments section regresses into personal arguments which leaves one to think if these people even read the column? I understand there are those who have joined TownHall to slam the conservatives or Tea Party followers, and are in fact certified liberals and progressives, who are brain-dead and have given new meaning to ‘zombie’. However, it does get a bit old and below the dignity of TownHall’s followers to continually get caught up in, and drawn into their mindless unchanging spin. There is much more conversations related to Michelle’s piece, that needs to be looked at and passed on.

The KKK the 1924 election indicates the extent to which the Klan was entangled with the progressives. For that was the year of the Democrats' infamous "klanbake" convention, when Klansmen participated heavily as delegates and blocked a platform plank that would have condemned their order. They also entered the presidential race ... they endorsed the Californian William McAdoo, son-in-law to the late President Wilson...... What were the man's most notable accomplishments? He had been one of the architects of Wilson's war collectivism, helping create the Council of National Defense and serving as head of the Railroad Administration. And as secretary of the treasury, he had been instrumental in creating one of the Progressive Era's most substa

Items from the left aimed at getting the race issue stirred up in the campaign in hopes that it nullifies much of the argument of Obama’s non-record and Romney’s track record of fixing failed ventures.
Michelle’s column pointed out some of the words the liberals look for, words that they use to trigger more race division, and then how that relates to class division, which is what Obama has counted on for the past three and a half years. by getting this garbage stirred up, using race to divide people, they become the biggest bigots and racists, even more than the KKK, or white supremacist. For too long we, as conservatives have allowed the liberals to intimidate us by attaching racist to our political and religious views.

The conservatives must get beyond the fear of being called racist, and it started a long time ago, before Obama, nonetheless, Obama has just brought more fine tuning to the art of intimidation, and dividing Americans and Christians and social class, financial classes!
Thanks to Michelle for her great piece.

the now notorious Ku Klux Klan was another of those parallels. It was once quite respectable in "Progressive" circles. There is a very good article here spelling out how much the prewar KKK had in common with the "Progressives" of that era. Many of the things that the KKK stood for don't sound Leftist today but they were Leftist in the heyday of the Klan. As already mentioned, even overt racism was "progressive" in the first half of the 20th century.

Thumper the Rabbit's parents always taught him, "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." If the left's self-appointed Omniscient Diviners of True Meaning have their way, conservatives in the public square won't be left with anything at all to say. Ever.

It's a treacherous business exercising your freedom of speech in the age of Obama. As a public service, I present to you: "The 2012 Condensed Liberal Handbook of Racial Code Words." Decoder rings, activate!
