Bill Maher Gut Punches the Right by Exposing Their Racial Anti-Obama Motivation

[Igel]

24. Confuses cause and effect.

"...his second victory will change the way our nation views presidential candidates" all but concedes the point he's arguing about.

If there was no novelty effect in 2008, then there's nothing to change as far as "our nation" is concerned--just the opinions of a few racist conservatives.

In any event, even if he concedes that point he still gets causality backwards. If Obama is re-elected it will (again, IMHO) show that "our nation" already "kicked open the door" for minorities (although, apparently, that "minority" that forms a majority of the US population, females). One doesn't change the electorate to garner election after having won the election, does one?

Of course, the "kicking open of the door"--an unnecessarily "home invasion" or "Gestapo police tactic" analogy--is really having the American populace, home owners and key wielders, kicking open their own door by electing Obama. However, as a black man I guess we have to think of Obama as kicking open doors, otherwise he's not sufficiently aggressive.

Too much "president as motivator and mover of The People" and not enough of "president as the person presiding over the executive branch of a government of the people." Some continue to seek modern-day Sauls. The Davids don't stand a chance.
