Pegging The Financial Crisis to the CRA

Matt Taibbi:

It blows my mind, the lengths people will go to to blame disasters on liberals and minorities. The really ironic thing is that if you want to blame the Democrats for this stuff, there are plenty of real misdeeds to bash them for. The fact that the Limbaugh/Hannity crowd decided to focus on a basically irrelevant law like the CRA shows that they know their audiences will buy pretty much anything, so long as the punchline is black slobs on welfare breaking the back of hardworking America.


This is not the substance of his comment but is does express the commonly heard misconception being repeated by the jibbering idiots on talk radio and Fox News.
