Through a velvethammer tweet [tweet here] talking about Obama closing offices in 4 states linked this blog post.  Gateway Pundit points out Andrew Malcolm at the Top of the Ticket tries to tie the closing of offices to a recent AP poll about racism.

That prompted me to tweet this.

In case that doesn't make sense, here's an explanation.
Personal typed transcript of The Dennis Prager Show. Thursday, September 18, 2008. Hour 2. Race in the Race. [around 42 min:50sec in]

Prager
Hello Patrick of Des Moines, this is Dennis Prager. Hi!

Patrick
Hello Dennis! Um, I just uh, was curious, I loved your point you brought up that if people agreed with Obama ideologically, 100%, wouldn't vote for him based on his race, that they would be racist.  But the people that would agree with him ideologically would be Democrats.

Prager
Yes!

Patrick
Which means that if we're talking about racism, we are talking about Democrat racism.  Are we not?

Prager
That is so interesting!!!

Patrick
I try!

Prager
Oh, I would like, I would drive to Des Moines right now just to shake your hand.

Patrick
You know I got a spare room.

Prager
Give it real estate prices... you know, send me an e-mail.

Patrick
You know, I just in fact, I just moved here from Los Angeles, and the down payment in Las Angeles bought the house here.

Prager
I believe you and I hate to say this because I don't want my own state to lose people but it makes sense.  Actually California I think had a net loss of, was it 50 or 500 thousand last year?

Patrick
Uh, I would uh...

Prager
500,000? Really?  Uh... anyway, but that point, you know, that's so terrific I'm trying to figure out am I missing an obvious rejoinder and I don't think so.

Patrick
I tried to think of one myself. [inaudible] ...challange myself.

Prager
Yeah, because a Republican... You're right because a Republican isn't going to vote for him because of ideas.  [Patrick: Right]  So the only possible racists are among the Democrats.

Patrick
The only ones!  As far as I see it. [inaudible] ...calling out own party.

Then Dennis said he would get the guy a Cohiba for the guys call and great insight.  [I thought of it first.]

And note the AP poll was making note of racism among white Democrats.  The link I gave to the poll goes to Hot Air and the post is titled: AP poll: Racism among white Democrats could cost Obama the election which also had to say this:

"Lots of Republicans harbor prejudices, too, but the survey found they weren’t voting against Obama because of his race. Most Republicans wouldn’t vote for any Democrat for president — white, black or brown."

So that goes to the idea that Republicans will vote for Republicans and Democrats will vote for Democrats.  [Generalization:] If someone is not going to vote for Obama based on race, it'll be a Democrat.

And I find it interesting Andrew Malcolm in his Top of the Ticket article does not mention that the poll and the percentage he uses was for racism among Democrats, white Democrats at that.  Mr. Malcolm leaves it ambiguous and if one was not aware of the specifics of the poll, could attribute it to whomever they like, i.e. Republicans.  It's disingenuous.

So hope that clarifies if there was any questions.

on another note:

Join in getting Hugh Hewitt connected with his listeners, us, via web 2.0 and twitter.

A letter I sent to Mr. Hugh Hewitt the other day [with some edits]:

Mr. Hewitt,
I'm male, [mid to late 20's], Reformed Christian, conservative, from Arizona.
 
Days ago I was disturbed and angered at the DailyKos trying to say Trig was Bristol's baby, especially after reading a comment that said that the dots should be connected showing the father had to be the ex-brother-in-law and that was the reason for the "abuse or power" scandal.  Then Monday came and I found out the Bristol Palin was five months pregnant [which flooded light on to the disgusting absurdity of DailyKos and the nutter's claims].  But I didn't know how I felt about it.  [Then] I wondered how the Republican base would react.
 
It's been more than 24 hours and after reading [especially from Sarah Palin herself], listening, and contemplating.  After discussing it with my mother I realized something.  I've been hearing the MSM ask if Sarah Palin is a hypocrite, or now McCain will lose the pro-lifers and others in the party, and hearing conservative pundits point out the left doesn't get it.  It occurred to me that Sarah Palin and her family are/is the exact example of what a family is and does that we have been trying to relay to others.  If we could put into a pamphlet or into a video of what we mean by family values and all that it encompasses it would be the Sarah Palin family story.  If someone makes a mistake and shows repentance/guilt/acceptance of responsibility we don't make them an outcast.  If someone doesn't add up to some ruler of perfect we don't discard them like a mass of tissue.  Because of a mistake we don't punish those with no hand in it, again discarding them as a mass of tissue.  With all we don't do, we do show support.  We do give them a foundation to stand on.  We give them advice that may hurt but is for the benefit of them.  Sarah Palin and her amazing family is what we have been talking about and I wish the MSM could see the walk.  [get it, walk the walk, talk the talk - anyway]
 
If Sarah Palin preached abstinence but gave her daughter condoms or gave some contrary education/advice to her daughter that would be hypocritical.  If she preached pro-life but asked her daughter to have an abortion that would be hypocritical.  If she preached family but didn't offer support to her daughter in this time of need or didn't [most likely] encourage her to marry the father, then that would have been hypocritical.
 
[~tohu.va.vohu]
 
P.S. 001 I remember a couple in my church conceived without being married.  It was amazing the support and love directed to them both before and after a call of repentance and reconciliation.  Not a bone of hate or contention, not one.
 
P.S. 002  I just wish there would be more talk about her record and achievements rather than the happy fuzzy feelings Gov. Sarah Palin gives.  When I first heard she was the VP I said, "McCain, this is why you've given me heartburn for years."  But I listened to my three favorite commentators, Prager, Medved, and you MR. HUGH HEWITT [which do I love more?] and heard about her record.  The one thing that impressed me beyond belief was the stories about her going after corruption, EVEN in her own party.  I have heard and still hear young people say they think all politicians are corrupt which leads some to say they won't get involved with politics i.e. voting.  I overheard a guy the other day ask a "gal" what she thought of the pick.  "What has she done really?  He only picked her because she was a girl.  I don't know."  I wanted desperately to go over and just tell her to check on her ending corruption, EVEN in her own party.  That's worth the first crack in the door [or the glass ceiling] [with many more to come].  What conservative hasn't wanted some kind of corruption buster in the party.  I was wondering if it would every happen myself.  But now I like the prospects.  Keep it up Sarah Palin.  Maybe this is the reform we've been waiting for, the change we need.  It's not lip service or empty rhetoric or generic slogans, but action, choices, decisions.  Tangibility.

[Extra - not in letter]
Heard a Colorado delegate [I believe] on the Dennis Prager show say Sarah Palin was Miracle Grow for the grassroots.
