Not Just Nixon

A reader with a better memory than we have found that Conehead's blaming of Richard Nixon wasn't the most outrageous leap of liberal stupidity this century.

Some "insignificant blog" wrote about some carpetbagging supernintendo from NY over twelve years ago blaming.....the Pilgrims:

• [July 2012] It’s official: With more than 240 dead, Chicago’s murder rate has surpassed the body count in war-torn Afghanistan. But as the city death toll continues to mount, outraged residents are asking questions and city officials are scrambling for answers – at least, the politically correct ones.

  Answers that usually involve blaming dead white guys or ones that are still kicking.

• When asked about the “gap” between law enforcement and the black community, McCarthy reached back 400 years for an answer.

  “It’s a big issue. It’s a long time coming. We’ve done a lot of things wrong in policing in this country. I’m willing to admit that,” said McCarthy. “But this goes back 200-300 years to the time when Pilgrims came here and things developed from that, the African American experience in this country.”

  But the Pilgrims weren’t the only people being blamed for the violence. The superintendent also laid blame at the feet of America’s finest and inferred – without actually stating it - that white police officers are the problem.

We closed the post with:

• Pilgrims and cops enforcing the law. That's to blame for 7-year-olds getting killed at 10:45 p.m., 3-year-olds getting winged at 11:30 p.m., and a body count rivaling Afghanistan.

  Thank goodness we finally know who to blame.

Probably should have added, "McCarthy is a liberal New York a$$hat."
