The world’s dumbest leftist blogger puts his “scary racism” attack face on: To Attack Obama, Little Green Footballs Defends Segregation.

I’ll try to explain this to you, Olly, although I have no confidence you’ll understand the point, or acknowledge it even if you do.

First, your title is an outright lie. There was not one word of my post that “defended segregation.” Here’s what I wrote:

At about 15:30, Obama compares what was going on in the United States during the time of Brown vs. the Board of Education to ... Nazi Germany. Yes, really. Here’s the quote:

“...just to take a, sort of a realist perspective...there’s a lot of change going on outside of the Court, um, that, that judges essentially have to take judicial notice of. I mean you’ve got World War II, you’ve got uh, uh, uh, the doctrines of Nazism, that, that we are fighting against, that start looking uncomfortably similar to what we have going on, back here at home.”

There you have it. America is close to electing a President who compares his own country to Nazi Germany.

Not one word of that post defends segregation, and not a single comment from an LGF reader defends segregation.

The point is simple, and really not hard to understand unless you’re Oliver Willis: as bad as segregation was (and it was terrible), to compare America during the time of Brown vs. the BOE (when we were dismantling segregation) to genocidal Nazi Germany with its pogroms, death camps, and forced labor camps, and more than six million murders, is not just ludicrous and wrong, it is a morally bankrupt argument that verges on Holocaust denial.

Now watch Olly come back with another idiotic post calling me a racist for ... any old excuse he can make up. This is the kind of garbage that’s standard fare in the fever swamp blogosphere.

Just as I predicted.
