Its a way to keep it on the front page, keep it up there as news and reinforce the already shared belief of those who assume the connection.

So the people keeping this enormous tax increase in the news are being racists? It's almost as if these crazies think this might impact everyone in Illinois, which is preposterous when they're just truly being a mouthpiece for Laura Ingraham.

you've made that point that in the race of legit and withering criticism of a doomed economic policy, play the race card, which can't be overturned.

Oh, I agree it is a horrible idea. Doomed to fail. Going to cause a lot of long term problems for the state.

Hardly the point.

Sarcasm noted. Don't be foolish.

And don't deflect with argument ad absurdum.

This is about news selection and focus to drive a point home, nothing more.

You are the one being foolish. He was being sarcastic.

It's true though. You find racism in everything. If it is conservative, you will find the racist angle.

Publishing a story about it is one thing.

Going "Can you believe..." and then droning on and on about it for hours is something else.

(disclaimer: I chose her name out of thin air as symptomatic of the issue and point. Having said that, just checked her site and this was her post:
Illinois faces a deficit of $13 Billion this year and long term debt problems due to public sector pensions and runaway spending. The natural course of action to combat this problem would be to follow in the footsteps of Governor Chris Christie in New Jersey and slash away at this unsustainable budget. In the past few days even Democratic Governors Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and Jerry ‘Moonbeam’ Brown (D-CA) have come out and said that it is time to attack their respective state’s spending addictions. These three Governors in cash strapped states, along with many more across the country, know that cutting spending is the only way to tackle long term deficit problems.

Not in Illinois though, as laziness and a strict adherence to the liberal philosophy of spend more, tax more, has led to a 66% tax increase. While families continue to struggle in Illinois, a state with an unemployment rate at 9.6%, the legislature and Governor Pat Quinn agree that raising the personal income tax from 3% to 5% is the best course of action. How will this help spur the economy? How will this help the long term debt problem? Illinois Democrats don’t have an answer to these two simple questions because they were not focused on the root cause of their current predicament.

Republican member of the Illinois State House Rep. Roger Eddy put it best: "We're not taking responsibility for our irresponsibility. We're saying to the people of Illinois we're making up for our mistakes on your back." )

Thats hardly the point?

If I lived in Illinois that would be the only point in all of this.

Find the real weight LG, the racism tag is not the real problem here.

So when a state lowers taxes does that also mean it is racist and they are appealing to the whites?

so, LG is focusing his ire on Laura Ingraham now. LG must be a misogynist. He can't say that he thinks she should shut up and get to work bearing his children, but it's what he's thinking.

i'm being totally serious here. the fact that you connect any mention of laziness to black people is EXTREMELY racist.

I like Michelle Malkin, although I confess that I usually turn the sound off and imagine she's saying something unpublishable here.

You got a point. He's always going after her and Palin.

I think LG hates women.

Does Palin need to know her role LG?

That was Ingraham making exactly the right economic commentary. The word laziness is what you've latched onto and it was probably poorly chosen, but she's saying that they've continued taking the easy road.

As you can see, her focus in the piece was public pensions (union driven and exorbitant) and profligate spending, which she called unsustainable. Your knee jerk reaction says that you believe the state needs to continue the spending, but you have never laid out why. I'd say you are the one with an agenda rather than the folks who find this front page newsworthy.

I don't "hate" Palin.

I am skeptical of her ability to hold important elected office. I think she's not very bright at all. I think she is ill-suited to her current leadership role. I think she is a simpleton.

But she's probably a lot of fun to go bowling with.

Is it because she's a woman though? You seem to go after women alot. Is this why you said you were taking your ball and not balls home? Freudian?

I hadn't even seen the laziness remark by her when I first posted in the thread. Coincidental.

But telling.
