People blinded, letter to the T-P just doesn’t get it.
In a recent letter to the editor, David Goldberg expounds on how wonderful America is for looking beyond race and embracing change. He uses the election of Bobby Jindal and the win in Iowa by Barack Obama. This is just laughable. Does anybody actualy believe that the kind of people who voted for Barack Obama are the same kind of people who voted for Bobby Jindal?
Ignoring my conspiracy theory I put up on YRHT that conservative independent voters could have came to the Obama camp to try and get the Democrat who is less likely to win the election the votes… people who would support Obama have no issue voting for a black person. The same cannot be said about some of the people who would vote for Bobby Jindal.
The most amazingly ignorant comment made in this letter was this:
The theme is clear — a new generation does not look at color, race or even political ideology.
This cannot be further from the truth. First of all, if Bobby Jindal wasn’t an extremist woman hating social conservative, he would not have been embraced by the Republican party as much as he was. And had Bobby Jindal not lied about being a “born again Christian”, perhaps people in the north would not have voted for the Catholic Jindal.
What really ruins the quote is this story that I constantly tell because I am just shocked it actually happened. When I was campaigning for David Gereighty in the 2006 Congressional election (you know, the election that Bobby Jindal campaign for Governor in), we spoke to people in St. Tammany parish. Those wonderfully open minded people who David Goldberg feels are “leading our nation and our state into a different, and I hope better, direction”, told us that they would never vote for a Democrat because Democrats are a bunch of “N***ER LOVERS”. So you will forgive me if I lack the optimism David Goldberg has about voting trends in Louisiana and in our country as a whole.
It seems like David also thinks that Bobby Jindal is a breth of fresh air. How dirty is the air he is breathing now?
