Yup. It's been a wild town since the day Sam Brannan went running through the streets screaming about gold in the American River. They didn't have anything like Dore Alley or the Folsom Fair back in olden times, but from the Gold Rush to the Earthquake, a huge portion of the city was utterly vice-ridden, totally corrupt and extremely dangerous (at one point, the city of 40,000 was averaging two murders a day -- the equivalent of 40 a day today.)

An eye-opening account of that era in the City by the Bay is Herbert Asbury's The Barbary Coast. It'll definitely disabuse you of any romantic notions about the City ever being a haven of normality or straitlaced morals.

Boy, I'll say! This is from that August 2nd NYT oped:

Both ads were foul, poisonous and emanated from the upper reaches of the Republican Party. (What a surprise.) Both were designed to exploit the hostility, anxiety and resentment of the many white Americans who are still freakishly hung up on the idea of black men rising above their station and becoming sexually involved with white women.

The racial fantasy factor in this presidential campaign is out of control. It was at work in that New Yorker cover that caused such a stir. (Mr. Obama in Muslim garb with the American flag burning in the fireplace.) It’s driving the idea that Barack Obama is somehow presumptuous, too arrogant, too big for his britches — a man who obviously does not know his place.

I don't get how that's a racist sexual fantasy, but then I'm not Bob Herbert.

Herbert sees whangers everywhere, this guy looks into a black hole and sees racism. Doesn't that defy physics?

This goes beyond lunacy. The MSM is bewitched.

Obama's crime? Acting too presidential

"There's an interesting line building on Obama that somehow success and intelligence are a handicap," said Mark Sawyer, a UCLA political scientist. "If he wasn't extraordinary, he wouldn't be there. But then he is extraordinary and it becomes, 'He is just too good, too well spoken, too accomplished.' "

Blogger Truth First said...

The white man is fond of technology. He is souless and disconnected from the Earth so the white feels a constant need to use technology to rape the Earth or abuse nature. We see this in the form of the white man's factories of pollution, global warming or in the Katrina attack on New Orleans in 2005.

Look at the space shuttle. It is nothing more than a giant white phallus sent to orbit the Earth as a hostile errection threatening rape

Life must be pretty good for the average black person in America if an idiotic journalist has to invent "racism" like this.

My husband says there will be major riots if Obama loses the election. I say, better to have riots than have Obama in the White House.

Mr. Herbert is a n idiot. He has joined Senator Obama as another post turtle. His kind of reasoning is far below that of a reasonably sentiment human being.

Better than I thought. Guessed it would be like Suntory bourbon. Sold in vending machines in Japan and manufactured from dead dinosaurs. No evidence that it uses anything that has been alive in 30 million years.

Your politically incorrect puns are really the chink in your armor. What, like the other posts in this thread are spic & span? You may think you can nip any criticism in the bud; but you're just throwing another faggot onto the bonfire of controversy.

re: #168 Josephine

At my former workplace, we had anti-racism workshops. In one, the facilitators talked about how our use of language might hurt people. We had to list all the terms we used that might hurt some people's feelings: black humour, living under a black cloud, black sheep of the family, being in a black mood, etc. We were encouraged to think of different ways of expressing negativity without bringing dark colours into it.

The phrase "green with envy" was racially offensive to my Orion ex-girlfriends.

re: #122 Quintus_Arius

I have a humble blog, that rarely draws any comments. Some here have read the second-party editorials I frequently post. Then out of the blue, I get this. I thought it would good for a chuckle here at LGF.

"The white man is fond of technology. He is souless and disconnected from the Earth so the white feels a constant need to use technology to rape the Earth or abuse nature. We see this in the form of the white man's factories of pollution, global warming or in the Katrina attack on New Orleans in 2005.
Look at the space shuttle. It is nothing more than a giant white phallus sent to orbit the Earth as a hostile errection threatening rape."

Been to a few of these hate fests. Made more tolerable by focusing on the soft ride it gives the outside consultants who have made an industry of shaking down gov't and industry so they can come in and threaten people. That then helps the HR grievance coordinators. Jobs for everybody! I was on ACDUTRA when Tailhook hit and we all had to sit around and feel bad, officially. Give the Navy credit, they understood that attending these was so painful that they could be used as a threat of punishment. "Screw up and act like an ass and we'll send you to sensitivity training" A normal sailor would respond with, "No please Sir anything else, beat the piss out me, make me scrub the bilges, but not that." We had the same effective attitude towards Safety. Act careless and we'd make your boss do paperwork. You'd be sorry.

I just heard Obama say that Drilling will deliver no short or long term solution to our energy problems. I guess this goes to reason that growing more food does not cure long or short term hunger. Of course when Obama snatches close to $300,000,000,000 ($1000x 300million) from the Oil companies to pay the new tax bonus next year. The Oil Companies won't have any cash left to build new rigs anyway.

If this were the other way around the AP would put our a news analysis piece and review McCain's ad and smack the NYT down. Its amazing Republicans win any elections at all. I think its generalized cynicism.

From an earlier post of an article written after Obama's 1st month in the U.S. Senate:

"Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame," says Barack Obama. "I've already had an hour and a half. I mean, I'm so overexposed, I'm making Paris Hilton look like a recluse."

At interview's end, Obama takes another silly question about whether he'd run for president in 2008 ([answer:] no)

Somehow it just doesn't add up.
