shorter drudge tape: obama comes out as black. openly.

— Oliver Willis (@owillis) October 2, 2012

As Twitchy reported earlier, Matt Drudge has been teasing the unveiling of a tape purporting to show Barack Obama engaging in a 40-minute racially-charged rant. Progressives, feeling compelled to defend the president against his own words, are already attempting damage control in anticipation of the big reveal, dismissing Drudge’s story as a big, fat nothingburger.

Some leftists aren’t content to stop there. They’re putting Drudge firmly in their crosshairs, accusing Drudge of racist sensationalism and smearing him as a bigot. When in doubt, play the race card:

A bit more white racial panic is just what the GOP needs to broaden its appeal.

Couldn't Drudge save some energy and just turn the homepage into gifs of scary black people until the election?

Shorter Drudge: You guys do remember he's black, right?

Drudge would like to remind you: Barack Obama is an angry black man and you should be very, very afraid of him.

When Drudge, Fox News, Hannity and the rest of the racist gang start scaring white people you know things are not going good for the cons

Drudge, Daily Caller, Fox News just went over the racist line. Grab the white robes and burning crosses. Disgusting.

Everyone's attacking Matt Drudge, but in his defense, he is a terrible human being who does not like black people.

— Michael Schaub (@michaelschaub) October 3, 2012

The only outrage I have about Drudge's "bombshell" is that Drudge is feeding the racist sentiment against Obama intentionally.

— Miss Havisham (@madrugadita) October 2, 2012

So basically @drudge securred the racist white asshole vote for @mittromney , well played Matt, well played indeed :::golfclaps:::

This is what Drudge means: THE (BLACK) ACCENT… THE (BLACK) ANGER… THE (BLACK) ACCUSATIONS… THE (BLACK) SERMON… Stay classy, Drudge.

@drudge is about as racist as you can be in today's society without running around screaming the N word at the top of your lungs. #fact

And what’s a good hatefest without a little gay-baiting thrown in for good measure?

Of course, for all we know, it could just be video of Matt Drudge on a date with a black guy. #curiousvideo

Self-hating gay racist Matt Drudge uses animated gif siren to link bait media….again.

A Jew who hates Jews? We believe that’s Rosenberg’s forté.

In attacking Matt Drudge in this way, liberals are merely showing themselves to be everything they profess to despise: racist, homophobic, bigoted, and short-sighted. Drudge has dedicated years of his life to exposing the Left, but, as it turns out, no one exposes leftist hate better than leftists themselves. Liberals have put all their race cards on the table — and they’ve lost.
