UPDATE 10/07/2008
This in from Ed Morrissey at HotAir: Frank: Criticism of Congress is now racist, too
Barney Frank’s latest defense of Congress over the financial meltdown could be predicted based on the success of Barack Obama’s campaign in using the same defense. According to Rep. Frank, any attempt to pin the blame for the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on the activities of both, as well as Congressional policy that fueled it, is now officially racist. Frank says conservatives want to blame minorities for the collapse. Let’s keep score.
Criticizing Obama means we’re racists. Criticizing Congress means we’re racists. Getting angry at Congress for pushing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into buying bad loans and infecting the entire financial system with essentially fraudulent paper — at a cost of up to $700 billion in taxpayer money and potentially trillions in lost investments — means we’re racists.
How about this from The Anchoress:
Unafraid of being called an “over the line racist” John McCain finally started fighting. And yes, now it’s racist to talk about Fannie Mae. All subjects that might harm Barack Obama’s chances in November: racist. The Dems are finally dulling the effect of that word with their overuse.
