THE LEFTIST DOUBLE STANDARD: THEY CAN HURL ALL THE INSULTS THEY WANT

OK to Insult NASCAR Fans

The Leftist double standard is endless. You are not allowed to look cross-eyed at a black or a homosexual but you can insult white NASCAR fans all you like, apparently.

Some Democrat lawmakers speaking in the legislature of Washington State recently described NASCAR fans as

"toothless, white trash rednecks" and said of them "These people are not the kind of people you would want living next door to you. They'd be the ones with the junky cars in the front yard and would try to slip around the law."

Another high-powered intellectual in the State house -- the Speaker, in fact -- implied that NASCAR identity Richard Petty [above] looked like a drunken felon, saying "You mean the guy who got picked up for DUI?" In fact, Mr. Petty does not drink alcohol.

Details here Did anybody notice any of that wicked prejudice or stereotyping there?

There is a video of the wonderfully "enlightened" comments here. Those guys sure know how to set an example for us all.

You can imagine the endless caterwauling in the press if a Republican had said something similar about (say) the NBA.

That Contrast Again: The Case of Menachem Vorchheimer

As we saw on 6th., coming to a Mexican-themed party wearing a style of makeup favored by Mexican women produces immediate uproar and all sorts of accusations of prejudice etc. And nobody had to say a word for those accusations to fly.

So what happens when a Jewish man in a big hat not only has racial abuse hurled at him but he gets physically assaulted and his property stolen?

It happened last October in Australia. And the police have only just now got around to laying any charges against anyone. And that despite the fact that a policeman was driving the bus on which the thugs were traveling and that there were heaps of witnesses.

Even then it seems clear that the police would not have been prodded into action except for pursuit of the matter by Australia's Murdoch press (Yes. The same Murdoch who set up Fox News).

Details here. At least orthodox Jews so far feel free to wear their hats and caps in public in Australia -- unlike France. It should be noted that it was intervention by outraged Australian bystanders that enabled Mr Vorchheimer's attackers to be caught. The police (as usual) were no help.
