I know I'm quoting out of context, but still:

From Frank Rich 'In Defense of White Americans"

"It’s past time to come to the unfairly maligned white America’s defense.

That includes acknowledging that the so-called liberal media, among their other failures this year, have helped ratchet up this election cycle’s prevailing antiwhite bias."

To comment would be gilding the lily.

(Though, do you think he even read through that column before it got published? I eagerly await his hard hitting column on how the media is now meanly picking on rich bankers, who suffer from being maligned for the current economic crisis, a cruelty which has made them all depressed and unable to enjoy rolling in money like they used to.)

No, he still can't top Michael Savage: "The only people who don't seem to vote based on race are whites of European origin."

I nearly injured myself laughing at that one.

Actually, as ham-handed as that sentence is and how awful when taken out of context, I find myself having to come to his defense. (And I tend to think he's a complete jerk, so it buuuuuurns.) Based on the rest of the article, his actual point seems to be the complete opposite of what this line makes it sounds like, and though he says it very badly, I think what he means (and what I kind of can't argue with him about) is that the press is making it sound as if the election is more about race, and that race matters more to the electorate, than is actually true. But as a shitty piece of prose, that line is hard to beat.
