I have often used the term “180 Degree Rule.” I wrote a post explaining what this means. You can find it here:
Since I posted that essay, I have been attacked by several Leftists on the grounds that I have no ‘proof’ of this rule. Well, I would like to draw your attention to what is just the latest in a long running series of evidence that the 180 degree rule is accurate:
Charlie Rangel hits Obama on diversity
If you pay attention to American politics, then you no doubt are aware of the constant attacks by the Left against the Right for being racist. The Left is never satisfied with the racial makeup of any Republican Administration. Although it is never specifically asserted, the inference is always clear: Democrats are more racially sensitive, therefore, they have greater diversity in their ranks. Well, this story just puts the lie to this false narrative. There you go: clear evidence of the 180 degree rule in action.
I mean, seriously, can anyone show you a picture of the Democrat Party’s leadership that looks anything like this?
In truth, the Left has historically been the realm of the true racist, especially in America. All you have to do to find it is look for it:
And the explanation for why things are this way is simple. The Right sees people as Dr. King saw them: as individuals. While the Left sees people only according to their group identity and, unfortunately, skin color happens to be a group identifier. Sadly, identifying someone strictly according to the color of their skin also happens to be pert of the definition of racist. So, again, the 180 degree rule has been shown to be an accurate descriptor of Left-wing behavior.
I remember being asked in the Bay Area by a Democrat at a meeting once “Do you like Black people?
My response ” I don’t know, I haven’t met them all yet.”
Trapp,
nice
You forgot the Latins.
‘You done it now’… you’re really gonna make those “open minded”, “tolerant” Libs made now. There’s nothing that angers them more than the truth riddled with facts.
Good Photo montage……However Michael Steele is a racist….he’s made numerous anti-white comments.
Steele is a RINO and Cain got screwed by an able press.
Kells,
Not the point
The Press is “able” as a propaganda wing of the Democrat / Progressive party …. as to being Bona Fide Journalists and reporters of news and facts…..that are decidedly UN-Able.
Ah, but for the purpose at hand, he still works, doesn’t he?
The Montage works …. but as Conservatives ( Jeffersonian Liber(tarians)) we have to be honest ….. Kells is right, Steele is a Trojan Horse of the Progressives.
All the others make the point beautifully…..as does the all the Negative and sick racist comments that have leveled at EACH and every one….(except Steele curiously enough )….. Mia Love for instance was called a House N—-r, by the liberal press.
“Kells is right”. Um, Don, can I just say that comment deserves free massages for a week? I feel a song comin on… Yes, I feel like a litle Mentos being constantly tormented by Wagner…..only to have Handel save the day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMGVpm_7tq8
Wow ! U-Tube ! It was almost as good as the Original…..what the heck did the 18th and 19th Centuries know anyway.
“…can I just say that comment deserves free massages for a week?…” Only if the ‘He/she..man-WOman’ shaves its chest first……gotta have some standads, just saying.
Don,
Kells is wrong and I call equivocation on YOU!
I am not discussing “conservatives” (in whatever flavor you may chose), I was talking about the perceived Right, which is — like it or not — the Republican Party. In this sense, Steele works.
However, because I am rational (unlike the Left), I understand the point you are trying to make, I just see that it is not the same as that which I was addressing.
Cheers

And now a dedication for you, luv: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoxoHHQi2Eo Pucker up.
A sister montage with Jindal, Haley and Latino/a members would work Well with this Montage too. This kind of In-your-Face Photo Evidence and messaging is what we need more of. Are these transmittable over Twitter / FB ??
Don,
I got this off of FB (which is why I didn’t delete Steele)
Cool ! Then it will get sent around !
The Leftists conveniently ignore whatever does not support their narrative.
