Almost daily Corner bashing

Wow, are the racists Very Serious, Thoughtful people over at The Corner on a roll today.

My friend Isaac Chotiner picks up these beauties from John Derbyshire. But they pretty much pale in comparison to this post from Lisa Schiffren:

Obama and I are roughly the same age. I grew up in liberal circles in New York City — a place to which people who wished to rebel against their upbringings had gravitated for generations. And yet, all of my mixed race, black/white classmates throughout my youth, some of whom I am still in contact with, were the product of very culturally specific unions. They were always the offspring of a white mother, (in my circles, she was usually Jewish, but elsewhere not necessarily) and usually a highly educated black father. And how had these two come together at a time when it was neither natural nor easy for such relationships to flourish? Always through politics. No, not the young Republicans. Usually the Communist Youth League. Or maybe a different arm of the CPUSA. But, for a white woman to marry a black man in 1958, or 60, there was almost inevitably a connection to explicit Communist politics....

Time for some investigative journalism about the Obama family's background, now that his chances of being president have increased so much.

I guess since the Obama-is-a-Muslim charge didn't really stick outside of the talk radio consumers community the right was bound to try something. So here's the new line: Demographics expert Lisa Schiffren (who's obviously not a racist, because, as you can see, she has some countable number of black friends) has concluded that liberal mixed-race people of Obama's age are--to the person--the spawn of Communist sympathizing miscegenators. It's extremely likely, therefore, that Obama's now-deceased, absentee father was (at least) a Soviet sympathizer during Obama's infancy, and may have, by osmosis, transmitted Dialectic Waves into his son's impressionable mind. Ergo, Obama is a Communist, and this matter must be investigated forthwith!

Lord.
