How DARE You Not Be Racist!

According to Njorl, a commenter at Megan McArdle's Atlantic blog:

Crucifying the family of a white, middle-class small business owner is just what the Republican party needs to sew up the next election.

Wouldn't this demonstrate that they really are against government programs in general in general and not just those allegedly for the poor or racial minorities?

It looks like conservatives are being criticized, not for any actual violations of principle here, but for violating leftist fantasies about what conservativism is about.
