This garbage was in our editorial pages today (Charles Krauthammer)
The last refuge of a liberal
(In our paper, the title was Conservatives are not bigots)

Liberalism under siege is an ugly sight indeed. Just yesterday it was all hope and change and returning power to the people. But the people have proved so disappointing. Their recalcitrance has, in only 19 months, turned the predicted 40-year liberal ascendancy (James Carville) into a full retreat. Ah, the people, the little people, the small-town people, the "bitter" people, as Barack Obama in an unguarded moment once memorably called them, clinging "to guns or religion or" -- this part is less remembered -- "antipathy toward people who aren't like them."

-snip-

That's a polite way of saying: clinging to bigotry. And promiscuous charges of bigotry are precisely how our current rulers and their vast media auxiliary react to an obstreperous citizenry that insists on incorrect thinking.

-snip-

-- Resistance to the vast expansion of government power, intrusiveness and debt, as represented by the Tea Party movement? Why, racist resentment toward a black president

His garbage is here.

2. So the turtle is an apologist, calling things what they ain't.
What's changed in Charles' world? It's what he does. Always.

4. That's nothing new...
The far-right and tea-party types have been accusing minorities of being racist for as long as I can remember.
