Obama-maniacs Try to Portray SSG Bellavia as a Racist Goon

Disclaimer: I never wanted this election to be about race. Frankly, I could care less about the color of someone's skin, and I think Sen. Obama has clearly stated that he isn't into getting race involved with the Presidential debates either. But when some clown accuses a respected Iraq vet of making racist remarks, I'm not sitting on the sidelines like a mushroom. Fight fire with fire as Metallica once said.

SSG Bellavia has served our country with distinction and honor and is an all-around good dude who I talked with via email a couple of times. He's been doing the Vets For Freedom tour to get support for politicians in DC who want to see "victory" in Iraq (Ms. Robin has photos here). I've got some political disputes with VFF, but they are all military folk and I'm sure I'd drink a beer with any of them. I would certainly never engage in some kind of lameass attempt at character assassination to promote a political agenda. But now some Ivy-League jackass at the HuffPo is inciting that Bellavia's made a potentially "racially divisive" comment by likening Tiger Woods to Obama. What the shit! (note: the comments got turned off, but they were pretty tasteless as well) Do the people at HuffPo not understand that the military is one of the least racist institute in America that has been fully integrated for decades (Arrgghhh! has more). It's a pretty sad state of affairs for American politics when Obama fans have to characterize everyone who doesn't agree with his future Foreign Policy plans into some lowlife who just turned his Grand Wizard robe at the dry-cleaners.

Perhaps, the liberal elite should be more concerned with the own messages they are sending to the public. Recently, Obama was invited to some wingding in a ritzy area of San Francisco to schmooze with wealthy left-coast types. Their parade of expensive automobiles isn't convincing me that they are doing their part for the environment or conservation during these hard times, and it was pretty awkward when a US Senator had to enter the mansion for the fundraiser...via the servants' entrance. Zombie has all the photos.

Wealthy lefties make Obama look like some asshole
