Lunch Break - The Left's Big blunder
No clip today...just want to focus on an article posted in the last thread. It is fascinating. I know so many of us have been in uncomfortable situations what with the blanketing and suffocating pro Obama atmosphere. This piece looks at the phenomenon. I know that when stating a simple "I don't like Obama" I've been received with baffled looks and that "well, I guess John must have a problem with race" look.
The damage inflicted by the Obama Left on race relations in this country is incalculable. The seething resentment among Black Americans for real or perceived racism -is being transferred to a seething resentment among white non Obama supporters for being CALLED racist - overtly or covertly and almost always unjustly.
In such an environment, where admitting to disliking Obama in the interpersonal sphere has become the equivalent of social suicide, it seems very likely that the Bradley Effect is not just back, but back with a vengeance. The more that Obama supporters go unchallenged in their blanket accusations of racism against McCain supporters, the less likely anyone will publicly admit to dislike of Obama. Hence, the Bradley Effect is not an artifact of racism, but rather an artifact of false accusations of racism.
