Obama, the great uniter of the nation, at it again.

[BlahBlahYouToo]

Glad you endorse obvious racial politcs. But I wouldnt expect anything less from you Clif, you seem to be in lock step with whatever Obama does.

*edit*

WTF is "faux outrage"? Sounds like a Keith Olbermann quip

he's black IIRC. all black ppl side with obama regardless of the shit he spews, even if it goes against their own personal beliefs. everyone knows this.

"young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women who powered our victory in 2008 [to] stand together once again."

I never realized young people excluded any particular race.

so why specify african americans and latinos?

 

[zsdersw]

so why specify african americans and latinos?

They were key groups that were responsible for his victory.

 

[Bowfinger]

The liberals would go fucking crazy of an (R) made a statement like that.

True, some would. You can find outraged idiots at both ends of the political spectrum. Most liberals would roll their eyes at their idiot fringe, however, just as most conservatives are rolling their eyes at you.

 

[OutHouse]

All racists focus on racism and see everything as racism because that is what they are.

says the kettle to the pot.

 

[OutHouse]

Not calling white people racists, just you.

how is he a racist?

Wrong. If a Republican made this statement "young people, Anglo-Americans, Latinos, and men who powered our victory in 2008 [to] stand together once again." it would be the lead story on ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC would probably break into prime time programming with a news special to report it. The hosts on MSNBC would likely burst blood vessels expressing their outrage. The next day it would be above the fold in the New York Times and Washington Post and Race Inc would be knocking one another down to get to the location of wherever the statment was made to protest it.

Classic example of hyperbole.

 

[nick1985]

Classic example of hyperbole.

Its true, the left would go wild if a Republican said "I need all middle/upper class white males to come out to vote". Saying otherwise would be a flat out lie.

 

[Linflas]

Classic example of hyperbole.

Classic example of ignoring the obvious. Republicans don't even come close to saying stuff like that so the left and the media claim they are using code words to accomplish the same thing. So even when they don't race bait they are race baiting because their audience knows the secret code according to the left and their media toadies.

All you have to do is look at the reactions the loony left had when Bush said "You are my Base" at that white tie event.

 

[Blackjack200]

Daily cup of RAGE!!!!!

Not if that was a large demographic that typically turned out poorly at the polls. You live in a hate-filled, paranoid world where all 'teh damn libruls" are conspiring to persecute you. It's delusional.

You are just as paranoid and deluded as Nick.

 

[DanDaManJC]

troll thread much?

this is fucking ridiculous.. how anyone could interpret that quote to be anything more than him using usual political pandering, not even racist, is beyond me.

No shit kid. There's an historical reason there has never been white rights groups that weren't overtly racist. lol.

 

[Linflas]

Where did anyone say anything about "white rights groups"? What is being discussed here is who is allowed to explicitly identify by race or ethnicity groups of voters without being accused of being racist and whether a double standard exists in regarding that.

Clearly you have no idea what hyperbole is:

it would be the lead story on ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC would probably break into prime time programming with a news special to report it. The hosts on MSNBC would likely burst blood vessels expressing their outrage.

Maybe you really do think stuff like that would happen, but those of us who are sane and rational know what it smells like.. and it isn't good.

..."And to you middle class white men who were fooled into voting for me, please continue to be fooled"

Fooled? I'm not a huge Obama fan, but who was I going to vote for? McCain/Palin? Let's be serious here... 'Ol 4 More Wars and Moron had nothing to offer me, even as a 30 year old white Middle Class male.

All racists focus on racism and see everything as racism because that is what they are. They are terrified of racism because they project unconsciously exactly how much hate hides inside them for others of a different color. Racists absolutely freak out at Obama because all the hate they have for their worthless selves they think he feels for them. All monsters see others as the monster and are terrified of them. You don't bring change to shit filled toilet water, you just have to flush.

The garbage that has called itself the real America is still all around us fighting mightily to keep the bowl from gathering any spin. America is still very much the land of shit and the home of racists bigots,

The evil of bigotry is that the bigot is upside down. He thinks that it is he or she who sees the good when all they see is the filth hidden within them. A bigot hates himself and hates you for that. His inner life is misery and he wants to make sure yours is too.

A bigot is the real enemy of all he thinks he loves because he cannot really love.

Or maybe I do and figured that you could seperate the hyperbole from reality and discuss the fact that there is a double standard used by the media when covering statments like the one Obama made. As for the smell I suspect that depends entirely on which side of the fence you happen to find yourself on.

And Obama ended the wars, as promised? Or was that just another blown campaing promise, kinda like the whole CSPAN/transparency thing, or the whole closing Gitmo thing, or the whole soon to be not raising taxes thing? You were fooled with false promises.
