Raaaaacism or Raaaaacist (“There are five A’s in ‘raaaaacism’”)

“Racism!” and “Racist! are politically charged terms, often used after other factual arguments fail. The political right has often charged that the political left uses the “race card” argument when race is not at issue.
 
Extra use of the letter “a” (such as in “raaacism’ or “raaaacism’ or “raaaaacism”) is meant to imply that the user is crying out, like a baby’s cry. “Raaaaacist’ is cited in print from at least 1998. In 2009, the blog The Other McCain declared: “There are 5 A’s in ‘raaaaacism.’” The spelling with five of the letter “a” has become the most standard spelling of this “racism/racist” cry.

But that would pose a problem…the Albanians would naturally benefit through that more than Serbs would. I would say, tax the Albanians FOR having children, tax Serbs more if they don’t, but then, you know the rest of the world would find out and scream “raaaaacism, raaaaacism.”

There are 5 A’s in “raaaaacism”

Ouch. Welcome to the Obama Nation, where all criticism is subject to the accusation of raaaaacism. If Obama throws Jones under the bus, the Leader’s minions will depict it as a sop to right-wing hatemongers, and Jones will walk away with a platinum Victimhood Card, immediately redeemable for a six-figure book contract.

Hate to point this out again, but . . .
There are five A’s in RAAAAACIST. For some reason, Michelle Malkin misspells (or miscounts) the word:
 
Crying “RAAAAAACIST:” Always the first and last refuge of left-wing scoundrels.

Sorry about the twit remark. But sooner or later it ALWAYS comes down to this: How can you tell when a conservative is winning an argument with a liberal? The liberal calls the conservative a racist. And, oh, by the way, there are 5 A’s in RAAAAACIST, because liberals pronounce it with a whiney tone of voice, just before they run away and hide.
