EJ Dionne Warms Up The Wasserman-Schultz Narrative

Clearly this is becoming a thing. I may have to fisk Dionne again.

Althouse: "he himself propagates racism in the form of an assumption that black people have trouble performing the simplest task."

Welcome to the party, pal!

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz Didn't Mean What She Said, And She Totally Meant It

She walks back the Jim Crow label, and then proceeds to repeat the substance:

I don't regret calling attention to the efforts in a number of states with Republican dominated legislatures, including Florida, to restrict access to the ballot box for all kinds of voters, but particularly young voters, African Americans and Hispanic Americans.

Because young voters, African Americans, and Hispanic Americans don't have/can't possibly be expected to verify their identity. Except of course, when they drive, drink, open checking accounts, start jobs, or do anything else.

But Republicans are still racists. Because, shut up.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is a RAAAAACIST

She's going to have fun being the bete noire of the rightosphere. She's got the silly name, and she put her foot in her mouth so far during WeinerGate that she swallowed her own knee Game On.

Is This Blog On has the skinny:

About 25 percent of African-American voters don’t have a valid photo I.D. I mean – and – and the reason it’s similar to a poll tax is because you’ve got the expense. You’ve got the effort.The – there’s difficulties for s- many people in getting photo I.D. So, you’re literally just throwing a barrier in the way of someone who’s trying to exercise their right to vote.

Now it would seem that W-S is speaking on behalf of African-Americans, which would seem to preclude all accusations of racism. But such childish remonstrances will not deflect from the obviousness of Debbie's White Privilege. I will prove it five ways, one for each of the A's in "RAAAAACIST":
