The very weird part about this charge is that it would fall flat precisely with the white working class guys that they would supposedly capture here, since those guys are also adept code-switchers. The whole thing is weird and dumb, but really displays how pathetic they are. At some point, even the righties are going to look at Drudge and hannity and the rest of the crew and say, "That's it? That was what you got me all excited about? Really?"
