Salon: Supporting the Keystone Pipeline is Racist

walshsalon

You had to know this was coming because EVERYTHING IS RACIST. No really. If you can think of something, it’s probably racist. Especially at Salon. Unless it’s also sexist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic or phobiphobic.

The Keystone pipeline? So racist. So very, very racist.

Salon’s Joan Walsh blasted Senator Mary Landrieu for her fake Keystone vote stunt of holding a vote on a bill that the White House already said it’s going to veto, not because it’s fake, but because it’s pandering to all those racist pipeline lovers.

Why would Senator Landrieu support a fake Keystone pipeline vote, Joan Walsh wonders, and comes up with the predictable answer.

What Keystone does is let Landrieu poke a sharp stick in the eye of Obama, much hated by her white constituents. Any points Landrieu got for politely pointing to the role of race in Obama-hate are swept away by this craven move.

Those racists sure love their pipelines.

It can’t be that they want jobs or that a Democrat wants to pretend she’s doing something to create jobs in this miserable Obama economy. No it’s racist. Because opposing Obama in any way, shape or form is racist… unless a progressive does it. And in that case it’s principled.

In her Senate floor speech, Landrieu had the gall to hijack the old United Farmworkers saying, “Si se puede!” which had already been repurposed by Obama. It was to save Landrieu and other Southern Dems, of course, that the president postponed executive action to defer deportation until after the election – and look where that got him.

Now Landrieu, who’s partly responsible for dividing countless Latino families who might have been kept together had the president kept his promise, is speaking Spanish and borrowing the slogan of low-wage Latino laborers to back the pipeline. Shameless.

So Landrieu is racist because Obama postponed illegal amnesty… to protect his own power base. Doesn’t that make Obama racist? And if Obama is racist, doesn’t that mean that opposition to the Keystone pipeline is anti-racist.

And if so, doesn’t that mean that Joan Walsh is racist for opposing the anti-racist Keystone pipeline?

    “What Keystone does is let Landrieu poke a sharp stick in the eye of Obama, much hated by her white constituents” – Joan Walsh.

    Wow!! White Americans hate Obama, yet voted him into the White house… twice.

      What is happening to Whites IS GENOCIDE.

      ANY conditions imposed on a RACE that lead to its eventual non-existence
      is geNOcide.
Assimilation is a KNOWN tactic of Genocide.

      If we are denied anywhere for ourselves, denied enough homogenous space
      for our long term preservation, and you support that, then YOU support
      White geNOcide.
Naturally only an anti-White would justify White
      geNOcide.

      This IS White geNOcide.

      Anti-racist is a >codeword< for anti-White.

    The Keystone pipeline is to rail transport of oil like deaths per mile driving is to deaths per passenger mile while flying.

    The Liberals/Democrats are simple arguing from rationalization and emotion and not analysis of hard numbers.

    They are stupid or deceitful. Take you pick.

    In the case of Joan Walsh, I pick stupid.

    • Bamaguje

      Indeed it’s costlier and more dangerous to transport crude by rail than by pipeline.
      What more, rail locomotives produce the much demonized greenhouse CO2… pipeline does not.
      But then I suppose common sense is not a strong point of green nutjobs.

      • pupsncats

        They don’t want ANY crude transported. They want everyone to stop using gas, oil and electricity NOW.

        • Bamaguje

          Not gonna happen anytime soon…. no matter how much they blather. Their so-called green energy (solar, wind) are neither cost effective nor reliable.
          Humanity won’t regress to the stone age just because some green nutjobs are offended by our technological advancement.

    Hmm I thought she was going to mention the Native Americans that oppose the Keystone Pipeline. They are joined by a ranchers and farmers that oppose being forced to have give up their land. For it’s me it’s unAmerican for our government to enforce eminent domain on American citizens for the benefit of a foreign corporation. This would set a terrible corporation. How would you feel if a foreign corporation wanted to your property, and the government used eminent domain to take it.

    • glpage

      About the same as if a local corporation supported by liberal/leftist politicians used eminent domain to take my property like they did in Connecticut.

      A pipeline was put in very near where I live. It is a natural gas pipeline.

      If the local power plant will switch from coal to gas.

      Funny thing is that after the pipeline is buried, the farmers can still play their fields as before.

      A pipeline is a strategic economic and military item. A person’s house bulldozed to make room for a shopping mall …not so much. The latter is highly illegal and immoral although SCOTUS said otherwise and made a grave mistake.

    • SCREW SOCIALISM

      socialist, You post your dumb rants to make real black people look bad.

    • pupsncats

      The way things are going, more people are going to be forced to give up their land to the government who will declare it to be off-limits to humans. I suppose when the Native American’s casinos have to be shut down because they can’t make enough money to pay Saudi’s or the Chinese or the federal government for the gas and electricity they need to stay open, they might feel differently.

    • truebearing

      The Obama government uses everything from excessive regulation to taxation to the EPA to take people’s property. The pipeline will actually benefit people, as opposed to Obama’s ideology driven scams.

      I guess you oppose redistribution of wealth then, right? Or reparations. Both are imposed by the government, unfairly.

  • Earthling

    Joan Walsh represents the desperation and insanity of the Democrats. She should be dismissed as a lunatic.

  • pupsncats

    Poor Joan. All the white guilt she carries must be very stressful. She is heading for an early heart attack.

    • ebonystone

      “All the white guilt she carries…”

      A new meaning for “white man’s (or in this case, white woman’s) burden.”

  • Aaron

    Every time I see a picture of Joan Walsh I laugh. She is the embodiment of Liberal psychosis.

  • Alleena

    What does a pipeline have to do with race? Walsh is simply irrational and racist. She uses race to push an agenda. Does she care about minorities? I don’t think so.

    Typical totalitarian…Oh my, the PEOPLE aren’t acting like they should!!!

  • gwsmith

    Another great one, Daniel. Man, you pump them out and everyone is bam, bam, bam, and soooooo quotable! Don’t burn out, buddy, we need you!

  • carltjohnson

    To all Democrats…”you become what you think about most of the time”. Earl Nightingale got it right. The strangest secret isn’t so strange anymore.
