More Fun With The National Review

There seems to be a game at the National Review where each post must out-crazy the last. And if you liked Kudlow's corporate apologist post, you'll love this one. In a post entitled 'Obama's Political Origins', Lisa Schiffren, former speechwriter for VP Quayle and Sen. Santorum, writes-

"Obama and I are roughly the same age. I grew up in liberal circles in New York City — a place to which people who wished to rebel against their upbringings had gravitated for generations. And yet, all of my mixed race, black/white classmates throughout my youth, some of whom I am still in contact with, were the product of very culturally specific unions. They were always the offspring of a white mother, (in my circles, she was usually Jewish, but elsewhere not necessarily) and usually a highly educated black father. And how had these two come together at a time when it was neither natural nor easy for such relationships to flourish? Always through politics. No, not the young Republicans. Usually the Communist Youth League. Or maybe a different arm of the CPUSA. But, for a white woman to marry a black man in 1958, or 60, there was almost inevitably a connection to explicit Communist politics. (During the Clinton Administration we were all introduced to then U. of Pennsylvania Professor Lani Guinier — also a half black/half Jewish, red diaper baby.)...

...Time for some investigative journalism about the Obama family’s background, now that his chances of being president have increased so much."

You heard her, liberal media... get to work! Is Obama's mother a communist Jew? Are we close to electing a "red diaper baby" for President? Is Sen. Obama planning to, as she later wonders, "stir up discontent among American blacks, with an eye toward using them as the leading edge of the revolution"? The fate of our nation rests in the answers to these questions!

Regarding the relationship of Obama's parents, she asks of its origins-

"Love? Sure, why not? But what else was going on around them that made it feasible?"

Holy cow. This is a woman who was not definitely not hugged enough as a child.

Defending herself and her queries, she writes that-

"Political correctness was invented precisely to prevent the mainstream liberal media from persuing [these] questions"

Well thank Christ then, Lisa, that you have the courage to be paranoid enough to ask them.
