Great: Corporate America Now Paying Democrats to Call Americans Racist

Posted on | May 12, 2012 | 20 Comments

One of the great truths of political life is this: Money is fungible.

Therefore, the Wall Street Journal headline, “Democrats’ Fund Taps Corporate Donors for Convention,” has profound significance when we consider what the Greedy Fat Cats are paying for.

House Democrats received training this week on how to address the issue of race to defend government programs, according to training materials obtained by The Washington Examiner.
The prepared content of a Tuesday presentation to the House Democratic Caucus and staff indicates that Democrats will seek to portray apparently neutral free-market rhetoric as being charged with racial bias, conscious or unconscious.

Read the rest of that article by Joel Gehrke, but only if you think you can handle the blood-boiling rage reaction it will almost certainly induce. Who paid for this “training”? And who funds the trainer, Maya Wiley of the Center for Social Inclusion? A glance at her organization’s 2010 annual report (PDF, see Page 13) lists many of the usual suspects, including George Soros’s Open Society Institute and the Soros-funded Tides Foundation. Surely there’s no need to do a Glenn Beck chalkboard talk to explain that, is there?

Yet what kind of vicious corporate swine would give a single penny to the Democratic Party, which deliberately seeks to warp public-policy debate with divisive racial rhetoric? Do we not see here the fulfillment of Lenin’s boast that capitalists would provide the rope with which communists would hang them? “Useful idiots,” indeed!

Let me ask you, reader: Does it anger you that someone like Wiley can collect millions annually from major foundations to spread her destructive philosophy, which is then disseminated by Democrats who collect millions more in campaign cash from corporate donors?

Rather than just fume and rant about it, you can help fight back. You don’t have to be a wealthy Wall Street fat cat, because just a small occasional contribution to the Shoe Leather Reporting Fund makes a big difference in helping keep this independent conservative site online. And if you’ll ask around among some of our friends — including Da Tech Guy, Catholic Bandita, Daily Pundit, Zilla of the Resistance and The Lonely Conservative — you will discover that this site actively supports and encourages other independent conservative sites.

Being a Shameless Capitalist Blogger, I don’t have a non-profit foundation and I prefer to think of contributions to the Shoe Leather Fund as fee-for-service payments: Readers see a site that does good work, and they give what they can — $20, $50, $100, whatever — because they like what they read here, and they know that their contributions make a difference, not just by what we write here, but also by our networked support for other sites.

While I have once again fallen drastically behind in thanking our financial supporters, please know that I am always grateful to readers who heed the Five Most Important Words in the English Language:

Hit the freaking tip jar!

    No, but if you want me to, I’ll publicly declare that you have hit my tip jar, and then Charles Johnson will call you a racist.

    Deal?

    I have it on staunch conservative authority that what is and isn’t racist is determined by whether or not people claim to see / hear it as racist; and we should therefore craft our message accordingly. 

    It doesn’t matter what you intended, or if the racism charge is used cynically — or often intentionally (hah!) — to create the stink of racism where there needn’t be one (Q:  Is Robert Stacy McCain Racist?  Let’s ask my readers!).

    What matters is how it sounds to those inclined to hear it that way.  We can’t fight this.  Our best bet is to simply capitulate and hand over to lawyers our messaging vetting.

    It’s the only way to be sure.

    How about offering free accommodations during the convention? Is that considered a donation in kind? (private bedroom with fax machine, separate phone line and broadband internet connection). Can’t donate cash as I’m tapped out by the 3rd each month!

    A lot of the companies that give money to the Democrats for the convention are just watching their own backs.  It’s a shakedown.

    “Nice company you have there.  Be a shame if anything happened to it.”

    It’s a shakedown.

    Of course, but the practices of the Democratic Party under Obama should bring such “protection-racket” behavior under new scrutiny. That is to say, corporations that once gave money to both parties to influence policy must now ask whether they are getting from the Democrats are more than mere policy, but whether they are indeed funding a quasi-terrorist organization.
