SE Cupp:Sarah Elizabeth Cupp Sees Generational Gap In Carter Racism Charge – S.E. Cupp (se cupp) (s.e. cupp) aka Sarah Elizabeth Cupp who is a very conservative writer for the New York Times appeared on the Larry King show last night to talk about what Jimmy Carter’s racism remark.King asked:
“Would you admit there’s racism of the black president?
Cupp replied:
No, I don’t think so, and I think this speaks to sort of a generational gap. You know, my generation is not always so quick to jump to race. I think the Maureen Dowds and the Jimmy Carters tend to go there because that’s what was always done, but my generation doesn’t see racism in a Joe Wilson or racism at a tea party or a town hall. We’re looking at the issues. These issues are too important to racialize them and project this imagined racism onto health care or any other political issue.
Rush Limbaugh has been praising S.E. Cupp for her answers on his show by saying:
Yeah, projection, they’re projecting who they are on to everybody else. That’s S. E. Cupp just handing it to Larry King. He needed a cup to have his guest be S. E. Cupp. I want to expand on this generational thing here because I have — actually the thought came from the editrix from the Limbaugh Letter, Diana Schneider Allocco — no, Allocco is the last name. People might think I was calling her a loco, that’s the big guy’s last name and like a traditional woman she took it when she got married. She said, “Rush, O great one, I’ve been reading the analysis –” well, she didn’t put that in there. I just kind of threw it in. “Rush I’ve been reading the analysis of Obama’s bad poll numbers among seasoned citizens and I’ve seen a lot of mention of retirees and seasoned citizens at town halls and tea parties as well as the big 9/12 march.” You know, it occurs to me, this is kind of an upended version of the sixties. In the sixties, the radicalized Baby Boomers, then in their teens and twenties, protested the establishment, their parents, remember don’t trust anybody over 30? The media was celebrating the whole generational split thing. Generation gap were the buzzwords of the day.
Guess what, the generational split has come home to roost. The old generation is now picketing the former “hell, no, we won’t go” crowd that is running Washington. The oldsters are marching on Washington against their kids. And against people their kids’ age. Obviously it’s not a race thing at all. This is generational. It’s actually what S. E. Cupp said. Did you Google S. E. Cupp? All right, now you know. So it’s exactly what S. E. Cupp said here on Larry King Alive. My generation doesn’t see racism. It’s a generational thing here, not to mention the long-in-coming smack down by those of us Boomers who have had it up to here with our arrogant anti-American boomer peers. The Baby Boomers make up a lot of people. I’m a boomer, but I’m embarrassed by over half my generation, a bunch of putzes, a bunch of spoiled rotten malcontents, have too much time on their hands and everything is about me, me, me, me, me, and that too much time on their hands and that me, me, me, me, me is what gave us Center for the Science and Public Interest, and that’s what gave us the animal rights movement, and that’s what gave us all these other movements to deny people freedom and liberty because these people don’t even have to go out and get jobs.
They can set up foundations, ask for donations, and make a nice living off everybody else, while pretending to do good works. And they infuriate me as much as they infuriate others who are older than they are. So it’s a great point Diana Allocco makes — did you catch that? — of course it has nothing to do with race. It is generational. It has been upended because these tie-dyed blue jean longhaired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking Cretans from the sixties were blowing up bank buildings saying, “Hell, no, we won’t go,” they’re now running Washington. They got their foot in the door with Clinton. Some of them are still there. Obama has sealed the deal. And now the very people they were protesting against are saying, “Screw you! We don’t want what you are. We didn’t like it when you were blowing up our banks back then, and we don’t like it when you’re destroying our country now, so to hell with you. Hell, no, we aren’t going to go. You say, yes, we can. We say, no, you the hell won’t.” And that’s what’s going on out there. It’s exactly what’s going on. Now, that was S. E. Cupp. See what that inspired? Here’s Gibbs yesterday at the White House, Jake Tapper says, “ACORN, a group the president’s had some ties with over the years, Census Bureau has thrown ‘em under the bus and the Senate overwhelmingly voted to cut off housing funding.”
Is perceived racism necessarily generational?
