How did Cynthia Tucker win a Pullitzer Prize?

In today's Atlanta Journal Constitution, Cynthia Tucker writes a column explaining to white folks that their growing dislike of President Obama actually stems from their fear of the "browning" of America. Whites,according to Tucker, have started to realize that in 40 years they will no longer be the majority of the population, so they are reacting with "civic craziness". This race-baiting garbage being spewed by Tucker leads me to the question of how a living cesspool like Tucker was awarded the Pullitzer Prize? I assume that the answer is that she earned it the same way Obama won the Nobel Prize for Peace, namely, she did nothing that merited it.

I am tired of hearing condescending liberal idiots like Tucker lecture whites on the racial basis for their political views. The truth is that the ones with the race based political views are Tucker and her ilk. The conservative movement is not talking about race; it is the left that is. The massive peaceful rally in Washington to honor the troops, stand for belief in God and support the constitution of the United States could be called "civic craziness" only by a delusional fool who sees everything as a manifestation of racism. The miniscule counter demonstration of Al Sharpton that attracted a few hundred people and about the same number of press was all about race. Sharpton said that Martin Luther King belonged to "his people" and that the Beck rally had no right to use his name. Imagine, sharpton was upset because a predominantly white rally honored the memory of King.

Fortunately, the non-stop gambit of the left to discredit its opponents by calling them racists has finally been clearly exposed to the country. For years we heard that one conservative or another was a racist. Think of the Virginia senate race that was decided when George Allen said the word "Macaca" which, until then, was never connected to race. The feeding frenzy of the press was something to behold and the people of Virginia were "educated" to believe that Allen was a closet racist. In the last year and a half, however, the people have seen that every person who would dare to oppose any Obama policy is now a racist. The elderly who feared the plan to cut half a trillion dollars from Medicare and came to town hall meetings last summer were crazed racists according to the left. The problem for the left is that coverage in the new media showed America that it was grandma and grandpa who were being called angry violent racists. Polite elderly folks were the new shock troops of the racist backlash. It was too preposterous to hear without laughing. Then they saw the reaction to the Arizona immigration law. Arizona passed a law that called on its police to enforce federal law-- nothing more, just enforce the law that was already on the books --again, nothing more than doing what the federal was already supposed to be doing. The Arizona law even had specific protections for minorities against racial profiling. So what was the reaction: the left and the president came out and called the law racist, anti Hispanic, anti-immigrant and the like. Arizona was a state filled with racists and it had to be boycotted. Indeed, some of the Hollywood lefties actually did boycott. But the American people realized that a state law that called for enforcement of an existing federal law was anything but racist. The race-baiting attack of the left failed and about 70% of the country supported the Arizona law. Once again, a counterattack based on race failed.

Recently, we saw the amazing peaceful rally by half a millon people in Washington organized by Glenn Beck. It was an outpouring of people more massive than almost any Washington has ever seen for a non-official event. How could the left explain this? Tucker tells you: it was racisim. According to Tucker, the rally "denounced minority rights". Obviously, Tucker did not bother to listen to what happened at the rally or read a transcript of the remarks made there. Nothing was said to denounce minority rights; nothing even close to that was said. No problem for Tucker, however. She tells us today that the whites who fear becoming a minority denounced minority rights.

I have a message for dear Cynthia Tucker: Honey, it won't work anymore. the folks are on to you. They know who is the race-baiter and who is not. You keep writing and talking to the ever shrinking minority that will even bother to listen to what you have to say. It will be a good career for you. You can make a nice living writing your fiction pieces, but the days when you could influence anyone are over.
