PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY IS NOW A RACIST CONCEPT

Jonah Goldberg has a great piece at Townhall on the "disagreement with Obama's policies is racist" thing that is now reaching a fever pitch from the left. This one is the best:

Princeton professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell, who finds racism in complaints that socialized medicine would result in fewer Americans "taking responsibility" for their own health care. "What we know over the past 25 years," she told NPR, "is that language of personal responsibility is often a code language used against poor and minority communities."
One more time:

language of personal responsibility is often a code language used against poor and minority communities.


That's right. If you believe in "personal responsibility" you are racist. Is she saying that American's of African descent are foreign to the concept of personal responsibility or should not embrace it? Isn't that....dare I say....racist?

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to pick up the pieces of my exploded head......
