When Ann Coulter goes on the attack, it's a wonder to behold. I doubt that one person in a thousand has read "Dreams From My Father." I certainly have no desire to do so. B. Hussein Obama has exposed himself as a hustler and I don't have to read his book to find confirmation of that.
What's interesting about Ann is that she appears to be one of the few people to have read it and to reveal the fact that throughout it he reveals himslf as a deeply flawed racist.
What was revealing to me was
the story about the way Obama has trained himself to hide his racial hatred with outward gestures intended to disarm:
When his mother expresses concern about Obama's high school friend being busted for drugs, Obama says he patted his mother's hand and told her not to worry.
This, too, prompted Obama to share with his readers a life lesson on how to handle white people: "It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."
First of all, I note that this technique seems to be the basis of Obama's entire presidential campaign. But moreover -- he was talking about his own mother! As Obama says: "Any distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning." Say, do you think a white person who said that about blacks would be a leading presidential candidate?
It's a technique that he has used successfully in the past. Many of the people who knew him in college remember him as a "nice guy." His entire campaign for the presidency is based on a "nice guy" image. So to find in his biography not just full frontal racism but the technique he uses to diguise it is as interesting as reading Mein Kampf. Hence, Ann's well chosen title for her article.
