The late Tony Snow, while serving as White House press secretary for the Bush administration, declared on television that racism was dead. For white people, it was. The election of Barack Obama to the White House resurrected the monster. But, as in all scary stories, the monster has come back a little different. Now, instead of whites exhibiting racism toward blacks (totally a thing of the past), conservatives now say that (gasp!) blacks are racist towards white people!
The horror.
By stating a fact — that police have acted unjustly toward minorities — a fact that no one in their right (or left) mind would dispute, President Obama has incited the following statement from one (screaming, lunatic, hissy-fit thrower) Glenn Beck: "[Obama has] a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture…I'm not saying he doesn't like white people…This guy is, I believe, a racist."
Don't forget un-American, too. You know how they know? He doesn't drink American beer!
For the "Beer Summit" at the White House involving the professor and the cop (you know the story), Fox News (home of the unfair and mentally unbalanced, where Glenn Beck resides) did not see anything newsworthy in the affair, except for the fact that Obama chose to drink Bud Light. This Bud's for you. Bud. Weis. Er. Bud Light. Regular ole Bud. Bestselling beer in America.
But…not American owned. Obama also would've struck out if he had chosen Busch, Michelob, Corona, Miller (It's not Miller time anymore, I guess — they're owned by Brits) or Coors (dang Canadians). I guess the White House should've checked this site to see what the non-racist, true patriots would drink.
So, to all you Americans about to celebrate the weekend with a nice cold beer, your better think twice about what you order, pinko.
Oh yeah, the point of the Beer Summit…What was that again? Oh yeah, I remember: It does not matter what President Obama does during his time in office — he will still be a black man, and he still can't win with ignorant white people.
Let's talk about: Blue Moon vs. Red Stripe: What does the beer choice say about the drinker? (Um, the taste?)
