"I’ve been loath to admit that the shrieking lunacy of the summer — the frantic efforts to paint our first black president as the Other, a foreigner, socialist, fascist, Marxist, racist, Commie, Nazi; a cad who would snuff old people; a snake who would indoctrinate kids — had much to do with race."
The normally nonchalant Barack Obama looked nonplussed, as Nancy Pelosi glowered behind.Surrounded by middle-aged white guys — a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own men’s club — Joe Wilson yelled “You lie!” at a president who didn’t.
But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!
The outburst was unexpected from a milquetoast Republican backbencher from South Carolina who had attracted little media attention. Now it has made him an overnight right-wing hero, inspiring “You lie!” bumper stickers and T-shirts.

I ordered the "You Lie" bumper sticker but haven't found the t-shirt yet. I am offended by Dowd comparing Obama to a snake though. It is truly unfair to the snake.
Mo Dowd is certifiable, and the
NYT is a a squeal sheet for un-treatable prog loons. They're writing for each other. Friedman is licking the behinds of the Chinese and Dowd is simply off her medication. The idiot Sulzberger dragged the paper down to his level, and its days are numbered.
What a complete and utter BITCH. Siting up there in her golden palace in New York....I cordially invite her to come down here to South Carolina and take a look around at my state's double-digit unemployment since her Dear Leader came to power.
I don't hate Obama for being blackish. (Both me & Obie have white moms) I dislike him for destroying the country I grew up in.
In 9 months, they've socialized the banking industry, the auto industry, the mortgage industry, 99% of the way to socializing the healthcare industry, placed a bunch of czars in power to circumvent the oversigt and vetting process, and wants to start his own private citizens army....but we're all knuckle dragging racists for seeing through the bullshit?
It's the economy, stupid.....their own battle cry from 1992...and they ignore the mantra of their demigod Bill Clinton to further their own filthy agendas. Half the people I know have been unemployed in the past year as companies here have folded, including my own spouse, and yet they want me to pay for health care for illegals and lie about it, but we're racists?
She paints conservatives as The AntiChrist from the throne in her Ivory Tower. Again, come on down to enjoy some southern hospitality, girlie. We'll treat you real neighborly before telling you to go F yourself.
Y'know, I was gonna send her a nice comment at the NYT website, but after 576 comments the site is shut off from further comments.
Rattler, I bought the "You Lie" hat, but my girlfriend won't let me wear it.
Rhod, by parakeet won't even crap on it.
Steve... Great comment! It's not just the NYT site that's shut off.
"what I heard was an unspoken word"
About as crazy as, "I hear white people".
So M. Dowd is saying that the left have issues with schizophrenia; hearing voices and such. It must be contagious because when I read her piece I distinctly heard the words,' hack' and 'apologist'. So odd.
Red, I agree. I'm about to go grab a sandwich with mayo, lettuce, kaiser roll, tomato slices and an unseen hamburger.
I'm not surprised, Nick. When you stuff the NYT in a garbage can, it makes the garbage can stink.
I can't believe this...well, I CAN, but I can't if you get my meaning...
UNBEFRICKINGLEIVABLE!!!!!!
I am SO SICK of these people who have nothing to throw up except the race card. They KNOW they got NUTHING!!!!!!
She's been watching too many episodes of "Roots". Have some unseen fries for me ;-)
Sue, the Democrats have what they've wanted for so long... a victim President.
Red, those aren't the roots she's most worried about.
PLEASE do not compare Obama to a snake. I have a snake bumper sticker on my truck and it's not a damned Obama snake.
I'm not suggesting that anyone use this comparison, however, I don't have a bumper sticker of a turd...
I heard similar 'unspoken words' from Bill Maher this weekend. It infuriates me that they continue to call those who don't agree with Obama's policies racists and the 'prove' it with the words they 'know' conservatives really meant to say. Her comments about Joe Wilson are rediculous! But somehow I don't think anyone will demand that SHE apologize.
LL, you should clarify that...
"I don't have a bumper sticker of a turd..." anymore!
Lynnae, don't be upset. I'm pretty sure I read an unwritten apology in her article.
I decided that since I couldn't comment on her article, I'd leave her an open letter on my site. I think you'll like it.
Nickie, I'm gonna have a huge piece of unseen chocolate cake. My blood sugar and insulin will soar and it will put me to sleep. Maybe when I wake up I will find out everything since November has all been a terrible nightmare!
Steve, I'll be right over to take a look.
Frances, honey, wake up. You're shaking and drooling and talking to yourself. Are you having a nightmare?
Nickie - "Victim President" Ding Ding Ding !
Man, I'd LOVE to have a black president. Seriously. But one who loved America as much as Blacks.
Or at least knew how many states there were. And Yes, I absolutely believe Obama had no idea how many states there were when he said he'd been to 57 and had 1 or 2 or 3 more to go to.
One reason I believe it is No One would ever think to prime him on the subject! Who Would !?
Down is in the 8th dimension and up is in the 9th.
Kid, the correct expression is Ring-a-ding-ding!
Dave, I used too date her. I couldn't get past the way she ate soup.
Such utterly predictable drivel. You know what? She could have said the precise opposite of what she did here and then surprised a few folks. As it stands......totally predictable. As I have said, the NYT is not fit for my wife's kitty's litter tray liner. I put Dowd and Kruggie at the top of the list of excrement...
Rebel, the Grand Old Lady has become the Painted Old Whore.
Thanks, Spidie. That means a lot coming from the King of Graphics!
Why is it the best they can do is play the race card? Maybe they should talk to high school kids because they can come up with better arguements than racism...
