The Bonfire of the Multicultural Vanities

I stole the title for this post from a line in this article by David Brooks in the New York Times today. Brooks' commentary adds to that of Rush Limbaugh yesterday:

All the rhetorical devices that have been a staple of identity politics are now being exploited by the Clinton and Obama campaigns against each other. They are competing to play the victim. They are both accusing each other of insensitivity. They are both deliberately misinterpreting each other’s comments in order to somehow imply that the other is morally retrograde.

All the habits of verbal thuggery that have long been used against critics of affirmative action, like Ward Churchill and Thomas Sowell, and critics of the radical feminism, like Christina Hoff Summers, are now being turned inward by the Democratic front-runners.

If Hillary Clinton loses, then it's a sexist slap in the face to feminism. If Barack Obama loses, then it's a racist slap in the face to blacks. And of course, who could forget the "angry and getting angrier" John Edwards? If he loses, it's a slap in the face to the poor and downtrodden, aka class warfare mongerers.

Basically, the whole Democrat primary is one big slapfest. But who has the biggest hand?

As the Hot Air headline reads, "Reap what you sow, Democrats." Or in other words, they've created a monster. Heh. This election season is going to be a lot more fun than I thought.

Don't they mean if Edwards loses, it is a slap in the face for homosexuals? My Uncle Clem calls him a "sissy." I always laugh. Always.

No matter who wins, Democrat or Republican, there will be an near-endless stream of "victims" to cry foul.

And somehow, it'll be President Bush's fault.
