GOP pandering to racists.....again!

[HomerJS]

I've said this a hundred times and I'll keep saying it. Republicans, don't bitch and moan that you can't woo the black vote. Maybe because of stuff like this.

First we had unamerican
Then we had "ferner"
then we had kenyan
then we had "mooslim"
then we had antichrist

Now the latest white sheet narrative.

Obama "grew up in a privileged way", "never had to work for anything", "never had ups and downs in life" "Obama's upbringing is what distances him from Americans"

So let's dissect and analyze

Obama grew up with a single parent mother who at sometime was on food stamps. At some point in time cared for an ailing grandmother. Went to college on his own ability. Became President of the Harvard Law review which is only earned by merit. Took his degree and went to work in the community.

Ok, so it appears the narrative is factually incorrect and his bio is easy to reference. So what does the latest smear indicate? These are code words. The wink wink people in the GOP use to get the message to those who believe this uppity negro was handed everything in life probably by the "gubmit" and did nothing to earn his status. The same wink wink used by the birthers. Attempting to brand him as an "other"

Herman Cain must be a moron if he really believes blacks are brainwashed into voting Democrat. I submit it's bullshit like this that keeps them away.

I'm just going to use this thread since I'm sure there will be more coming. Republican Pete Hoekstra running against Democrat Debbie Stabanow. Here's Pete's ad...

Asian woman riding her bike past rice paddies speaking stereotyped Charlie Chan english. I was waiting for her to break out the lines "me so horny, me love you long time" What the hell was this actress thinking? Again the GOP playing to that lowest common demoninator.

Forgot this one since I'm updating. Slick Rick refuses to correct and goes along with woman calling Obama an "avowed Muslim and has no legal right to be President". He could have done the right thing like McCain and said "he's not Muslim and even if he were he's still legally allowed to be the President" Birtherism alive and doing well.

What did Mr Affirmative Action Posterboy have to ever work hard for? What real job has he ever held?

 

[Matt1970]

Well, Americans get pissed off when their President calls them lazy.

That has been debunked sorry to let you down stop watching Faux noise.

potus

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

They even debunked it tonight on the CBS evening news.

potus

lol thanks for proving my point...

 

[MovingTarget]

No, Americans get pissed off when someone with a big enough bullhorn says their president called them lazy. Its a good way to "stir the pot" when you have nothing of substance to complain about regarding the president.

 

[NoStateofMind]

Who was the last president to "struggle" like the average American does daily? I rest my case.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Please cite one supported (read evidenced) example of Obama benefiting from affirmative action. Please don't throw out the usual crap. Cite an actual fact if you will.

 

[HomerJS]

Compare Obamas upbringing to the last President. Obama has a good case for having an upbringing closer to an average american

 

[HomerJS]

This is what happens when you get your news from Sean Hannity.

Remember that survey showing hardcore Fox News viewers being the most uninformed? Kind of proves the point.

Right....

List his jobs that he has had in the past.

You realize he was a practicing attorney for a number of years, right?

See above. He was not handed a baseball team and handed an oil company

The GOP is NOT pandering to Senator Byrd (D), the high ranking KKK member and powerful DEMOCRAT leader died earlier this year.

The left has cried wolf so many times about opposition to the President and his policies being motivated by racism, that no one will care even in an instance like this one where you may have a point. Even so, this is a pretty weaksauce complaint compared to even some recent slanders (such as "John McCain has a black baby" and such). Both you and Obama will need to grow a thicker skin when you're playing politics at this level - if you can't take this level of criticism then you have no business being in the role of POTUS.

That's the best u got, digging up a dead guy?

BTW - Byrd was a dixiecrat who escaped the pilgramage to the Republican Party.

 

[cybrsage]

Huh? A claim was made the the GOP is pandering to the party which gave tons of power to a high KKK leader (aka racist). I simply said this claim is not true.

If anything, the DNC pandered to racists by giving said power to Byrd.

Follow that with the pathetic condition DNC controlled areas are in (look at inner cities which have been DNC controlled for decades...would YOU want to live there? NO? Cannot blame you.) and you see a party which uses the race card to maintain power while keeping its followers ignorant and poor.

That John McCain has a black baby stuff was put out by Karl Rove during the SC Republican primary.

The GOP even used racism on their own even tho that baby was Cambodian

Byrd renounced and asked for forgivness for past misdeeds.

Black Democrats even forgave George Wallace when he finally had a change of heart. Of course it took him being shot and paralyzed but he finally saw the light.

Pandering not found, racists not found, misleading thread title.

Obama hides the facts so I can only go on circumstantial evidence. Let's see his SAT and LSAT scores. I'd love to see how he transferred to Columbia from podunk Occidental. He was an academic dolt while in Hawaii so he only got into Occidental College. And from there he figured out the Ivys' AA programs were in full force so he got into Columbia via transfer. I'm sure he went for free due to his color.

And at Columbia he did not graduate with Latin Honors...yet wow he gets into HLS! What a fucking miracle! He must have got a 180 on his LSAT right? Yea...sure...probably went to HLS for free too thanks to who he was born to.

He was a summer associate at Sidley (top law firm) his first summer, and then at Hopkins the next (not so prestigious). Of course after he graduated he received no offers.

But once again, AA comes to save the day! Due to his color, he was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review! That earns him a teaching position at UChicago Law School. Good gawd, he must be some kind of fucking legal scholar...gets a teaching gig out of law school. And of course he sticks around and is a lecturer until he's ready to jump into politics.

Again. Nothing. Accomplished. AA. Posterman.

Myth. Obama was NEVER a practicing attorney. Ever. Never. Lies.

LOL.

'I have no evidence so I will just assume it's the way I want it to be'.

Repeat: LOL.
