Found On The Trib Op-Ed Page - HUH?



Every Monday the editorial page at DickieCougarMellonScaife's little paper that could hosts a snippet or three from one of DickieCougarMellonScaife's other pet projects, Accuracy In Media.

Today, this was found on the op-ed page:

Racist!: "(Sarah Palin's) attack was unsubstantiated and carried a racially tinged subtext that John McCain himself may come to regret. ... Palin's words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee 'palling around' with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn't see their America?"

-- Associated Press writer Douglass K. Daniel in reference to William Ayers, who is white.

Which is curious as the subtext in Daniel's AP piece is about how Palin is imposing a racially tinged "us versus them" dichotomy. The "us" group contains all the right-thinking white people from the "pro-America" places in this country. "Them" is everyone else.

Not surprising that AIM and the op-ed-sters at the Trib can't see that.
