DOES WHOOPI GOLDBERG GET TO DECRY SLAMMING McCAIN? No One Recalls Her Slave Talk in 2008.
But is Whoopi Goldberg really the right person to lecture about treating McCain with “decorum” and “decency”? Ten years ago, when McCain was the Republican nominee, running against Barack Obama, she twice asked him “Do I have to worry about becoming a slave again?” McCain was going to enslave blacks if he won the White House?
As Glenn wrote in January while leftists were freaking out over Trump’s “shithole” comments, “I’m amused when people who’ve spent 50 years declaring the very concept of decency repressive and outdated suddenly start with the ‘have you no decency?’ shtick. When Joseph Welch used that phrase, it was pretty much Peak Decency, or as we’re now told, a horrible regressive time of racism, homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia.”
