"I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American," President Jimmy Carter told NBC News.

Isn't he dead yet?

Hey Jimmy, you got your fake Nobel. Shut up already.

Again, when you're the first to bring race to the discussion, your probably the racist.

The real tragedy of this clown is that he has led significant progress on Guinea Worm infections in Africa. A horrible, preventable disease. The accomplishment of a lifetime.

But Carter is such a whore that he can't take the focus off of himself.

He can't ever talk about human suffering and effective ways to change it -- even though he does it himself.

All he can talk about is his dipshit politics about Arafat (god) Castro (god) and the Messiah (chocolate god)

"Jimmy Carter says some opposition to Obama is racist"

"I think it's based on racism," Carter said in response to an audience question at a town hall held at his presidential center in Atlanta. "There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president."

Carter called Wilson's comment "dastardly" and an aftershock of racist views that have permeated American politics for decades.

Shouldn't this guy be on some Alzheimer's/dementia medicine? What an embarrassment to the Naval Academy he turned out to be.

"I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American," - Jimmy Carter

"some" "overwhelming portion", whats the difference....

yes

he said SOME is racist

he said majority of it is NOT racist

but there are those that are usually the loudest and most annoying that are racist.

context people

context.

"I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity "

read it and try to understand the statement

OF THE INTENSELY DEMONSTRATED. ie the crazy's with the hitler posters and guns at the town halls.

"The president is not only the head of government, he is the head of state. And no matter who he is or how much we disagree with his policies, the president should be treated with respect."
- Jimmy Carter


What an incrdible hypocrite. He should have followed his own advice when he was heckling GWB in the press not long ago. As a former President he should be held to a much higher standard than some Joe-schmoe Congressman like Wilson.

I think Ol' Jimmy needs some warm peanut butter cookies, some milk and a nice nap.

I lived in the South in the early sixties
Coons and Negras was used extensively I went back in the Nineties I heard Coons but no Negras Progress!

#8 And I suppose no one on the Left ever compared GWB to the big H?

Sure did MrFair#11. Meant it then and I mean it now.

Larry

In all honesty, that's been my experience as well.

If Carter was Neil Boortz he would say "Somebody's Gotta Say It" as to Not Hurt the Delicate Sensitivities of the Racists.
The reason I say this is that for Years Now the Racists have used that as Their Excuse to Say whatever they want about others!

Ironic the Racists Claiming Racism!


You Go, Jimmy ----- You Call a Spade a Spade!

I'm almost looking forward to Jimmy's Retort Obit as much as I was to Ted's.


Even before the Clinton/Obama primary race was heating up, everyone knew Clinton had to tread carefully because the race card was going to be pulled constantly. Comedians knew it, opponents knew it, the genral public knew it.

Nobody need act surprised now that it's happening. That's the way it's done. Blacks, and their enablers, don't know any better way to deflect honest criticism. You see, in their minds, they're victims. Always have been, always will be. The Democrats have ensured that attitude is ingrained in them, that way they get the votes.

Poor Jimmy Carter, he forgot to take his meds again. Mental illness is such an awful thing.

Wow is this headline wrong.


"I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American,"

Not all opposition is racist according to Jimmy, just the most irrational and intense hatred of him and I would say that is 100% correct.

"just the most irrational"

He never said only the irrational opposition. You're making it up. Why?

"Jimmy Carter says some opposition to Obama is racist"


Swing and a miss... Unless the definition of some is "overwhelming" and "many white people"? lol

"I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American," Carter told NBC News.

"That racism inclination still exists, and I think it's bubbled up to the surface because of belief among many white people -- not just in the South but around the country -- that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It's an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply," Carter said.

oh trust me, i'm not party coolerly fond of his white half either.


Not all opposition to Obama is racist, true, but it seems all racists oppose Obama.

And there are still plenty of them around, not only in the South, but famously in places like Joe Wilson's South Carolina.

Jimmah is correct, and Bubba would tell you the same thing. These boys grew up in the racist South as friends to black people, and know whereof they speak.


"just the most irrational"

#17 | Posted by JOE at 2009-09-16 10:26 AM

That is exactly what he said.


an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity
Unless the "intensely demonstrated animosity" is the majority, which it isn't, then an "overwhelming portion " of that group is not the majority either, or even a large minority.

"Not all opposition is racist according to Jimmy, just the most irrational and intense hatred of him and I would say that is 100% correct."

Sorry Kan... I call bullshit to the fact Carter's chosen words never mentioned anything about irrational or intense. This was meant as a blanket accusation to any white person. His words had Michael Dyson a believer and echoed the exact same sentiment this morning.

Like Carter, Obama is just too smart to dumb things down to where they are easily understood by the stupid. It takes thought to follow their words.

I call bullshit to the fact Carter's chosen words never mentioned anything about irrational or intense.

Really? Nothing about irrational or intense?

Really?

So all whites in South Carolina are racist whether they know it or not? Is that the hidden message? Or is your lame post only speaking of republicans, and white dems are immune to the souther racist gene? Are independents on the fence?



-And there are still plenty of them around, not only in the South, but famously in places like Joe Wilson's South Carolina.

Reading comprehension is either a lost art, or strawmen are much easier to defeat than what was really said.

MUCH Better headline and accurate for once here.

Who is this Jimmy Carter fellow anyway? I heard he built houses or something.

Really? Nothing about irrational or intense?

#24 | Posted by kanrei at 2009-09-16 10:36 AM

My bad... I misread the quote and that spurned the post. I thought Carter meant that as a hidden blanket statement of "most" and grouped them with the irrational and intense, as fringe or extreme groups.

"You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." - The Princess Bride.

I think people are using the terms "racist" and "socialist" too often in an effort to advance their positions, which, to me, are a sign of intellectual inferiority.

-So all whites in South Carolina are racist whether they know it or not?


Reading comprehension is either a lost art, or strawmen are much easier to defeat than what was really said.

I guess you didn't create a "strawman" by stating those same racists are in Joe Wilson's State? The entire post claiming there is still racism in the south, was nothing but a lame deflection in defense of Carter's stupid accusations. A sad one at that.

Wow speaking of intellectual inferiority:

"are signs of..."

"That is exactly what he said."

He never used the term "irrational" or anything even remotely close to it. Why do you continue to lie?

-The entire post claiming there is still racism in the south, was nothing but a lame deflection in defense of Carter's stupid accusations.

I see. So, on Planet Crispee, there is no racism in the South?

What color is the sky there?

there is no racism in the South?

There is racism everywhere, and there always will be as long as there are ignorant people.

No dumbass, the fact you posted racism still exists in the south proves it was a deflection. Does a bear still shit in the woods on your planet?

FTA: "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American," Carter told NBC News. "I live in the South, and I've seen the South come a long way, and I've seen the rest of the country that shares the South's attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly African-Americans."

"That racism inclination still exists, and I think it's bubbled up to the surface because of belief among many white people -- not just in the South but around the country -- that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It's an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply,"

~Jimmy Carter.

* golf clap *

Gotta luff the peanut farmer.

Unafraid to speak the truth about the realities of the so-called "post racial" America just as he was unafraid to criticise Israel for their unsupportable treatment of the Palestinian people.

Reagan, Dumbya and Dumbya's Daddy all together were not worthy enuff to shine Carter's shoes.

Be Well.


I see. So your point is that what I said was so obvious that you needed to comment on it.

Riiiiight.

What I said supported what Carter said, so now you are agreeing with Carter?

Someone loosened the restraints on your white jacket, didn't they!

Carter should shut the f@ck up. If you criticize a black President on legitimate policy grounds you are a racist just because he is black and you are not? Unf@ckingbelievable!!!! Only a true southern Democrat racist himself would say something so stupid.


Funny how it doesn't work that way for black conservatives like Condi Rice and Clarence Thomas. White liberals can call them all kinds of names and it was fine. Liberals are the worst.

What makes me laugh is how people of all stripes will hear a generalization that doesn't apply to them, and treat it as a universalization that does.

I read the original headline and thought... I don't support Obama, and I'm not a racist. I didn't lose my mind rushing to post the first ridiculous diatribe against Carter that my fingers could type out.

#29 | Posted by crispee_oc at 2009-09-16 10:45 AM


No harm, no foul.

Republican Party without the RACIST on board would be no Party at all. Those good Republicans (There used to be some) are now paying for being quiet all to long, the Racist have come home to roost. This Republican Party is without any Moral compass an now that the have their own News Network (FOX NEWS) they have the means to Brain wash the Brain dead members of their antiquated party.

Fox News on a 24/7 clock is flaming the ANTI-GOVERNMENT fever that the Republicans have used since the days of the "Southern Strategy" of RICHARD NIXON. Three out of the last Four U.S. Presidents was against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an the Voters Rights Bill of 1965. Three out of the last four Presidents on the Republican side was Against the release of Nelson Mendela, accusing him of being a Communist, They also accused Martin Luther King of being a Communist as well.

......you just proved Carter's point.....

Fox News cannot report this right? Oh my! On their homepage, it says "Former President Carter draws fire for claiming Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's health care speech in fact, ANY criticism of the president is 'based on racism."

Then you click on the story itself and the first paragraph says "Former President Jimmy Carter drew widespread criticism Wednesday for saying in an interview that Rep. Joe Wilson's "You lie!" outburst last week was "based on racism" and that an "overwhelming portion" of similar demonstrations against President Obama are rooted in bigotry."


Notice how the story contradicts their summary?

"We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration."
-- Hillary Clinton


Republican Party without the RACIST on board would be no Party at all.

Obama restores dignity to the Office of the Presidency, then failed, small minded Carter has to open his foul mouth and remind us of the specter of his Presidency .

Failed Jimmy is part of a small minority that is pushing this anti-health care=racism argument. Rasmussen findings: only 12% say opponents of Obama Health Care Plan Are Racist.

Carter joins the other jerks like Sanchez, Matthews, Dowd, Obermann who sow this divisive crap. The decent is overwhelmingly about the merits of the plan and nothing else.

"Rasmussen findings: only 12% say opponents of Obama Health Care Plan Are Racist."

LMAO. The only raciststs willing to admit their racism are the racist assholes. The majority are racist creeps. They have the good sense not to admit it.

So when the country and many in the congress were yelling about Clinton and HIS HC plan in 1993---that was racist too?


When folks accuse others of being racist--they lose the argument.

It blurs it so much that when racism is truly a factor and shown--it gets buried with all the false citings.

and hank johnson from georgia also says that all of us who disagree with obama will be donning white hoods anyday now.

might do that though and ride that bus where the blacks all beat up the white kid and the other blacks were cheering him on.

or maybe the guy who was dating the black chick and got his skull crushed from a gang of blacks

AND NOT ONE CALL FOR a HATECRIME from the black community.....

AND I hope these racist calls KEEP GOING and even DOUBLE or triple in number

it means they are losing,

The majority are racist creeps. They have the good sense not to admit it.

Yeah, but the "they" are you. Jimmy said nothing racist, but it was turned by illiterate and non-comprehending righties into something he didn't say. As the truth gets out, as with the speech, you are only sinking your own cause with these distortions of truth.

Bah. Jimmy is right.

Most of the assholes here who object to socialism didn't object when their asshole buddy bushie was waging wars, creating the department of fatherland security, and the nazification act.

Underneath it is racism.

Jimmy Carter is, of course, spot on. Any opposition to the wimpy centrist now occupying the White House simply is based on Get That Niggah. Birthers and anti-health folks come from the same bag.

Jimmy is one of the great unsung Americans of our time. He was to Mideast peace what Obama is to health insurance reform. See Jonathan Demme's superb "The Man From Plaints" documentary. herm

"He was to Mideast peace what Obama is to health insurance reform."

Remains to be seen. I think you're getting way ahead of yourself there, herm.

You would think a Nonracist wouldn't ask. Is it racists to oppose Obama on such and such policy. If they are really and truly secure in their Nonracists attitudes they would simply state. I am against Obama because of such and such and that would be the end.

Larry

He was to Mideast peace what Obama is to health insurance reform.

You mean like the thirty year Iran embargo on Health Insurance?

"I am against Obama because of such and such and that would be the end."

By all means give an example of these people "against because of such and such" used race as their reasons.

Yeah, but the "they" are you. Jimmy said nothing racist, but it was turned by illiterate and non-comprehending righties into something he didn't say.

So the fact it is being reported by all the MSM, and shows such as Today are interviewing the likes of Michael Dyson, can all be attributed to illiterate non comprehending righties?

As an honorary, card carrying member of the black community, I'll do the stand up thing and say that hate crime charges should be a foremost consideration while the investigation proceeds.

and abortion being paid for by taxes in hr32oo which we NOW KNOW IS in there

you mean like those socalled lies

Crispee You see it asked here all the time. Is it racist to oppose Obama on say health care reform. If they weren't racists why would they need to even ask the question. They would state their case sans asking the question and that would be it.

Larry

Underneath it is racism.

#61 | Posted by Shawn at 2009


and the left CONTINUES to prove us correct

during the election and after we tried to tell people that ANY CRITIZISM of obama would be called racist and THAT charge is being proven every day.

I will say this
I was watching some show in the early hours this am and there was some guy who said this when it comes to the protest

the left.... stupid

the right....scary

Larry

Most are reponding to the lefts accusations of being racist "because" they oppose Obama. You see all the time here Larry. You also ignore who makes these blanket assumptions.

In a recent Poll only 12% admitted to be Racist, an this was FOX NEWS favorite pollster. This 12% is the real dumb ones how many people would tell anyone that they are indeed RACIST???? Not many I would guess. So including all of the one that refuse to say the truth lets just say the number is 20%, based on the population of the Country that would mean that 70,000,000 Americans are Racist or have those types of beliefs. America this make us a RACIST Country by any fair study.

Make no mistake this is where the Republicans get their recruits. They have fostered Racism in their ranks an now it has come home to roost. Just watch the Republican news Network, Fox News, you cannot watch any show without seeing a Black Conservative denouncing the Obama presidency, Fox has gone out of its way to find these Uncle Toms just to show that they are not racist, what a fucking joke....

Yeah, and if Hillary had won the presidency, then those who appose her would be SEXIST!

People are apposing the Lefts Agenda!

The "the intensely demonstrated animosity" is a sign of how upset people are about what is being done to this country!

#74...

So 70,000,000 people are racist... Do you have a dog study of their racist numbers?

Maybe the house committee on unamerican activities should get involved. We need to silence all critics for the good of our nation.

Celery is fucking nuts.

It is not racist to object to healthcare using valid arguments howevr that has NOT been done.

When you refute an argument with lies and subtefuge, it reflect on your credibility. This is the situation the valid detractors of healthcare have now, they have cried wolf on everything, from death panels to illegal aliens eligibility that valid arguments are dismissed as more background noise.

I HATE the race baiting democrats more and more every day. If race relations were strained BEFORE the election the democrats are certainly feeding the fire for an all out race war.

OBAMA: THE WORST FUCKING PRESIDENT EVER!!!


-feeding the fire for an all out race war.


Colonel Beachfuzz.

Just watch the Republican news Network, Fox News

And which Obama News Network do YOU watch? MSNBC? NBC? CBS? ABC? CNN?

During the election, I said that if Obama was elected, it would do more harm to race relations in the country - we would move backward. Libtards laughed and thought I was crazy (there's a layup for some libtard). It is turning out I was right. The race card is out of the sleeve all the way now. Watch "them" fill the deck with it.

Well Fresno read the points and the section of the bill that are the reasons for the opposition.

www.drudge.com


Just because the Dems have lost this issue--they go by the scorched earth plan of calling half the country nazi's for opposing Obama policies.

Then they drag out the race card and call everyone racists.

This bill is DOA --poke it with a fork --it is done.

Bush's fault. All conseratives hate black people.

You know I wish he would have just kept his mouth shut instead of saying something so stupid. But let's face it - he was in Georgia and is Georgian. Am I saying "whites" lack tolerance for blacks in Georgia? Yes I am. Then again after seeing the behavior of blacks in Georgia not to mention behavior toward whites, I can not say it is one sided or even unexpected. For instance try being white (especially a white man) and going to the beach during Orange Crush and see what happens.

Yes, there is ALWAYS some "racism" when someone is of a different group. Doesn't matter whether it is based on skin color, country, region, religion or what not. Some of the Opposition to Bush was racist as well. Look at that jackass Kanye West and his remarks. Racism at its best.

The far right wingers I know all too well have some racists among them. But why would they hate on Obama after all he's just as white as he is black... Except people don't choose to see that - Rightie or Leftie. They see what they like or hate.

The whacko's in opposition we are talking about are so hate filled they would even be hating McCain. So don't tell me a significant factor in opposition to him is his "race" - but it no doubt does make it easier for some. For the most part it involves his stance on controversial subjects dear to the heart of the far right Christians, people who are so far off the path of Christianity the term doesn't even fit anymore.

"America this make us a RACIST Country by any fair study."

Pay no attention to Celiscary and his figures here. He surely has no business lecturing ANYONE, because Celiscary is a bona fide racist himself. He thinks black people are superior to white people. He's also a misogynist because he hates women, especially Sarah Palin, a white woman...which also makes him a bigot because he hates all conservatives. That boy is so fucked up he makes Hogan's goat look like a well-oiled precision instrument.

there are many who display intense feelings over what is happening in our government. there has been a huge amount of power being sucked up by the feds, which predated Obama, but which has only intensified. with what is being proposed, not only will the feds have unprecedented power, it will increase spending for a welfare state that will leave crushing debt for our kids.

it rattles conservatives, including me, and stirs emotion that is entirely unrelated to Obama's skin color. sure, there are those who are driven in part by race, to label those who intensely oppose what is going on as being driven by race is typical liberal distraction. it's easy to label and belittle what you consider to be the enemy. but, it's a cheap trick that is also intended to stir up hostilities. Carter should be ashamed, and go find another canal to give away.

Speak out against the Dems = your a racist

Speak out against a supreme nominee = your a racist

Speak out against taxes = your a racist

Speak out for tort reform = your a racist

Speak out for 2nd amendment = your a racist

Speak out against Acorn = your a racist

Speak out against gov. spending = your a racist

Speak out against bailouts = your a racist

Speak out against presidential positions = your a racist

Wanting to know exactly what the government and certain cronies are doing with your tax dollars = your a racist


At what point do all of those that are offended figure out that this isn't racism. This is America questioning what people are doing with our money. I have seen racism first hand and none of the above qualifies..better go check your dictionary for the actual definition and get a clue that this country was founded on fundamental principals that should still be followed today. Unfortunately, our leaders have lost their way on what the Founding Fathers envisioned for this country.

WTFUA!

Too much writing everyone. Keep it simple, stick to the media/leftist talking point.

Conservative=racist

OULOSTURMIND obviously has a strong hatred for non-whites.

Dorky, the democratic party is taking over where Charles Manson left off.

"Manson is associated with "Helter Skelter," the term he took from the Beatles song of that name and construed as an apocalyptic race war the murders (Tate/LaBianca), were putatively intended to precipitate." Wikipedia

Whoa Beachbuzz, you must have a cross and hood factory in your garage. Racist.

"Dorky, the democratic party is taking over where Charles Manson left off."


The right gets loonier every day. And marginalizes itself. Carry on.

Nullifidian...and they hate black people too.

We also sell confederate flags, swastikas, signed copies of Mein Kompf, yellow stars, etc

Beachbuzz, well obviously. I would know you didn't if you fully supported Obama and his policies.

Of course the whole tea party movement is all about racistism. Ask your selves where was the tea party when GW was handing out candygrams to every major corporation in the country who had nothing at all to give back to the people except their own over stuffed executives? Where was their outrage when the Bush and Co. pushed the price of oil up to $150 a barrel by manipulating supply and demand advancing a policy of waste and fraud that broke the back of the auto manufacturers? Where was the tea party pukes when Bush fabricated a war out of lies and then turned it over to the Halliburtens of the corporate world with no accountability and no oversight? Where were the tea baggers when nearly 3 trillion dollars was report missing by Ronald Rumsfeld and then swept under the rug by the beneficiaries of 911? Were was the outrage when billions of dollars in cash was flown to Iraq in private aircraft for the purpose of buying politicians in Iraq and supporting hired mercenaries who were above the law and direction of the US military? Where were the birthers and Medicare crowd when Tom Delay and Carl Rove redistricted Texas to disenfranchise blacks and Hispanics in the 2004 election? I could go on and on.

The sudden opposition to a black man who inherited this gross distortion of the American dream is entirely racist and partisan politics at it's worst.

America is in decline because of these bigots, not in spite of them.

Not one of you right wing amateur hacks of the DR could give an honest retort to any one of my questions. All you have left is self loathing and hate for everyone but yourselves, and that includes the only president that won a Nobel Peace Prize. Some here even denigrate that great honor because they are racists with another kind of racism, hate of their fellow man because of their political ideology.

Go ahead show you true colors now. Oh, and the color is all white.

The right gets loonier every day.

The right? Are you STILL suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome?

Celery Stick, people like you fuel racism and are too fucking stupid to know it. Your moronic statements are more bigoted toward white people than a KKK meeting. How many blacks voted for Obama because he was black or better yet didn't vote for McCain because he was white. The race card is getting really, really, really old. A black man is the president already.

Ringding - there were plenty of right wingers on this site complaining about GW and his spending. I think you also fail to remember the minute men and how they launched a large campaign of discontent over border security during GW's terms - you, like other real racists, see what you want to see to fit your social agenda. BO has lowsy liberal policies - most righties could care less about him being half white. Most lefties could care less about him being half black. You, light Maureen Dumb (nee Dowd) are doing more to diminish the label of racist than any racist ever could. Go back to the bus and beat up the white kid - relieve some of your tension.

light=like

Ringmaster! Look! A racist! I can't believe the balls on this fucking ELCIDCE90! Can you believe it? Blatantly disagreeing with you. ELCIDCE90 hates black people, probably anyone that is non-white too...hell let's even throw in any practicioners of any religion other than Baptist Christianity.

Ringmaster uses the same attack that so many still use. 'Well, Bush sucked!' Are we really still saying that Obama's mistakes are OK because Bush was bad? Can we please cut the Bush bashing and race baiting crap and focus on the issues?

Ringmaster, the teaparties were about excessive taxes without good reason. The tea party was chosen because the situation resembled the climate of the original tea party. So, no, no one would have thrown tea bags because of no child left behind. It sucked, but tea bags wouldn't make sense in that context.

I love how people like to claim that ALL repubs worshiped Bush while he was in office, trying to prove some kind of point about racism. The truth is that Many repubs stopped supporting him at many times during his presidency. He made some huge blunders which were called out by both sides. As usual, it was ok to criticize the president when he was a repub. Now that hes a dem, we need to be behind the office of the president all the way!

The only time you hear about race is from liberals. We stopped caring about his skin a long time ago. Hows about you quit beating the dead horse and attempt to defend his crazy policy ideas?


Finally, this splitting of hairs about carters statement smells desperate. To say that he was only refering to the intensely demonstrated animosity as being racist is a stretch. I think the implication is clear that he was referring to ALL animosity(read:opposition. So simply, 'most opposition is fueled by racism'.

Why can't my opposition just be fueled by a desire to have a smaller government? because there's no straw man to be built around that.

Get real. If you oppose smaller government, you oppose social programs. Those social programs are designed to help the poor and disenfranchised. Minorities represent a significant portion of the poor and disenfranchised, largely due to slavery and other policies of our own government. Accordingly, to oppose social programs is to oppose helping minorities. The only reason that can therefore be behind the desire for small government it RACISM.

If you want small government, YOU ARE RACIST BY DEFINITION.

Somoco, no. Opposition is to FEDERALLY FUNDED social programs.

I'm arguing like a libtard. I like small govt, so I suppose I'm a racist.

Oh. Well then yes, yes you are. You black hater.

i had to go look into somoco's past posts. I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or not. haha. That was good stuff

With all the advancement in communications and social networking, why hasn't someone developed a sarcasm font? we really need one!

Yea, well, jerks like elcidce90 are a classic example of why redneck bible thumpers like him are indeed racist. He points to the Minute Men who felt it their civic duty to keep the 'beaners' from crossing the border. These were people who go home at night and run around the house in their underwear with a 45 strapped to their waste. Their greatest ambition in life, beside drinkin beer and watching football, is chancing apon the opportunity to shoot some wetback for crossing the whiteman's river.

For the record I am White too, and grew up in a redneck hillbilly family. I moved to Hawaii 35 years ago because of it and never looked backed. In this state everyone is a minority and the tea party movement has never gathered a crowd of over a hundred yet on the Big Island. The reason why is because it is racist and the folks here know it. Racists are simply not tolerated and soon find themselves in the bottom of a lava tube one day.

Imagine that, tax protesters never gathered a large crowd in the largest welfare state of the Union. You're fucking retarded.

I HATE the race baiting democrats more and more every day. If race relations were strained BEFORE the election the democrats are certainly feeding the fire for an all out race war.

And I HATE idiots who call our president a socialist and/or compare him to Hitler. There are morons everywhere who are promoting divisiveness in our politics. It isn't about real issues anymore, it's all about flame wars. The world of politics has become troll central.

wow, ring. I wanted to take you seriously and we could have a debate, but... wow. redneck bible thumpers running around in their underwear with a 45 strapped to their waist(that's the right way to spell it btw). It would be difficult and messy to strap a 45 to someone's waste.

Your description of these 'racists' reveals that you are just as ignorant and quick to judge as they are. bravo, you bastion of open-minded thought and tolerance!

Taxman, I can understand being upset at a hitler reference, but how can you defend being called a socialist? The guy preaches it.

I love how ringmaster doesn't put it together that there isn't a large tax protest in Hawaii because they are all sucking on the welfare tit.

Divisiveness aside: Obama is a Socialist. If you have another opinion, I'll respect it and throw you on the pile with the other deniers.

I don't compare him to Hitler other than the way he is trying to undermine the family and approach children.

Hold on Eddie. What has Obama done to "approach children" that makes him "hitler like?"

We lose credibility with an argument like that.

The guy preaches it.

Bullshit. He is advocate of capitalism and thus it is impossible for him to be a socialist.

I can't help it Brent! I just can't stop hating blacks! The Obammer feller best not never come 'round hur when I gots my 45 tucked in my underpants! 'Specially if I's is watchin a football game or drinkin a beer!

One more thought just for the record, Hawaii has had manditory health insurance laws for as long as I can remember and the most liberal health insurance in the country for the poor. Nobody is turned away who cannot afford medical care. Did it break the bank? No it did not and Hawaii welcomes thousands of immigrants every year that flood in from Micronesia, Philippenes, Asia and Mexico, not to mention the poor whites that flock here for the welfare. The fact is Hawaii is a classic example of why liberals are not all doomed and conservatives are just a small minority of the population.

Eddie, you are just as ignorant as those who use the bullshit "racist" term whenever they don't agree with someone. Study political theory and then try to explain to me how someone who advocates for capitalism can at the same time be a socialist.

I'm surprised you can even spell "respect."

And your attempts to define socialism are simply laughable.

Obama's no socialist. He's slightly left-center, very much a consensus builder, and assuredly not far Left. Trust me on this, Eddie. I'm far Left; Obama ain't.

Obama's biggest problem -- racialist reactions aside (and it definitely plays a role, especially among loons on the fringe) -- is that he probably really believes that resonable people, reocgnizing one another's interests, will attempt to arrive at mutually agreeable/beneficial compromises. It's an approach this country's founded on but one which tends to get shoved aside with all the shouting. (That's why, for example, delibertions leading to the writing of the Constitution were conducted in secret.)

Taxman, are you high right now?

Is this your way of not being able to rebut an argument?

Doc, he is far left...you on the other hand are not. You're a left-wing nut, like me only the other way :)

Taxman, no it is not. You'll know when I am unable to rebut an argument because I'll resort to name calling (for example, I would point out to everyone in the room what a dickless dog-molesting douche-bag you are...but we aren't there yet). For the short term, I just don't waste my time trying to debate people that rely on subjective terms to substantiate their claims.

#122 | Posted by taxman

ironic comment on promoting divisiveness given the subject of this thread.

It should be mandatory for every person who wishes to vote to take at least one course in economics and one course in political science.

A history course in slave labor and feudalism would certainly do wonders too. Half you right wing no-nothings still think socialism is fascism. That's a real hoot.

Socialism is not a subjective term, it is a political theory which is coutner to the political theory of capitalism. One cannot be a capitalist and a socialist at the same time. I think you confuse the term socialist with "social democrat" - they are not the same thing.

And before you go off on tax redistribution you might want to look up and find out who revamped the Earned Income Tax credit which is one of the biggest redistributers in our government. I'll give you a hint: he was president for 8 years in the '80s.

Ringmaster, I'm with you on two of the three. Why the hell would you encourage anyone to take a poli-sci course? You want to stock our society with more political/lawyer whores?

Irony intended. Read my post earlier in the thread.

Taxman, socialism is NOT a political theory, it is economic.

Don't go branding me a Republican pal.

Why the hell would you encourage anyone to take a poli-sci course?

It would help people understand what socialism actually is and that it isn't a subjective term.

It is a lot more fun to watch cruise missile footage than to step over some urine soaked newspaper covered bum in the street.


That's what Bush and Cheney said too. Hence the bums in the street have multiplied faster then the cruise missiles can kill them off.

Brent, politics and economics go hand in hand of course you wouldn't know that as you think polisci is a worthless subject.

Taxman, maybe you should bone up on some economics, well-rounded economics with an emphasis on money supply. This from the guy that thinks socialism is a political theory.

Socialism, I believe, is the period of time between capitalism and communism where the government is supposed to take everything, redistribute it, and then dissolve.


Is that right or the product of Florida education?

Ringmaster, I stand by my statement. Bring on the cruise missiles.

Marx believed an economic system could not make the jump directly from capitalism to communism and thus came up with a transition period he called "socialism".

No, it is someone who does the reverse of a racist. If a racist spreads hate, then a reverse racist takes it back.

Eh, I have listened to Rush enough to know that in most cases when a statement like that is made it is in reaction to something incredible that is claiming the opposite. If you can stand to get through one, his transcripts are always posted on his page.

I have listened to Rush before, and his inflection is very important to his words.

"Isn't a reverse racists still a racists??"

Ask Skip Gates.

inflection, don't push your big complicated elitist words on me.

I know what they are trying to say when they say "reverse racist," but it incorrect. Anyone who hates according to race is a racist, regardless of their race and it is racist to say blacks can't be racist.

"No, it is someone who does the reverse of a racist. If a racist spreads hate, then a reverse racist takes it back."

ROFLMAO! That is a RACIST!

Reverse discrimination is denial of equal protection of the laws and is viewed as discrimination on the basis of race by opponents of racial quota programs (a.k.a. reverse racism),[1][2] while proponents of racial quotas and affirmative action programs generally view it as discrimination against members of a dominant or majority group in order to promote members of a minority or consistently disadvantaged group.

Racism is a catch-all for folks and that's too bad as what most people mean is a generalization.

Some folks may think a particular race is superior but that is by and large limited to a small populace (yet not just whitey). And most people aren't in a position to have thier prejudice beliefs affect others or to actually discriminate.

What you're left with are people's generalizations. Like the black kids beating up the white kid on the bus. Was that racism? You bet your ass it was for the black kid being provoked and the white kid getting his ass kicked. That was definately racism. ie. acting on one's prejudice or discrimination against another.

To me, I just generalize. It was a bunch of punk niggers beating up and laughing at the white boy.

Is that a racist comment? Well it surely doesn't qualify as one through a litmus test. May be demeaning or insensitive, but it's not racist.

And for you losers who believe folks like me just like to say nigger, I was told I can say it by a bunch of punks I know from the streets of Chicago, so we're cool, bitch -- so get off my back.

I just think the left gets a kick out of claiming everyone but them is a racist, but who knows what skeletons lie in their closets.

I only jerked off to white porn today, does that make me racist? Should I jerk it to some black or latina porn to balance it out, or would that make me racist for making a concerted effort? Is that like the "well I have black friends" argument? "I rub one off to black porn stars too?"

Everybody is racist to a degree. What I have learned from living in the south for a few years is that blacks hate whites more than the other way around. Not all but I have seen it more than I thought previously . Whites hate blacks too but they aren't vocal with it. When I lived in atl there were 3 whites and aprox 20 blacks and u could tell they weren't very friendly to whites.

Where was their outrage when the Bush and Co. pushed the price of oil up to $150 a barrel by manipulating supply and demand advancing a policy of waste and fraud that broke the back of the auto manufacturers?-Ringmaster

Boy, you really think you're on to something don't you? The fact of the matter is they are republicans, and while they may have been against certain things Bush did they still generally supported the man. They don't support Obama in any way and so you have tea parties. Why would these groups go out and protest a president that they generally supported? Oh, and if Bush pushed the price of oil up then I'm the president. I guess you needed to manufacture a few more things to make your list seem that much worse. And if he really did push it up then Obama is pushing it up now.

Oops!

You Spoke! You're it!

Can Montecore define Socialism?

EVERYONE on the Left has said that Obama is NOT a Socialist, but NO ONE on the Left has been able to define Socialism.

You're cowards!

For the record I am White too, and grew up in a redneck hillbilly family. I moved to Hawaii 35 years ago because of it and never looked backed. In this state everyone is a minority and the tea party movement has never gathered a crowd of over a hundred yet on the Big Island. The reason why is because it is racist and the folks here know it. Racists are simply not tolerated and soon find themselves in the bottom of a lava tube one day.

If that's true then you grew up saying racist things and being a racist at heart. All kids emulate their parents up to a certain age. It is not until then that you can see the errors of your ways and reverse course, which it seems you have. But you were a racist for probably a good 18 to 20 years of your life.

Good clip

And I HATE idiots who call our president a socialist and/or compare him to Hitler. There are morons everywhere who are promoting divisiveness in our politics. It isn't about real issues anymore, it's all about flame wars. The world of politics has become troll central.

#122 | Posted by taxman

What a wuss. We spent 8 years of hearing Bush called Hitler a Nazi and wanting to create a theocracy and you're going to whine because you're getting some of your own medicine? What do you expect? I suppose you expect everyone to just bow at the altar of Obama's greatness and go along with the program. Obama has admitted to wanting to redistribute wealth. That is one huge trait of a socialist. Maybe you don't like it because you know it's true.

Indeed, one of the funniest men I am aware of.

OMGosh....ENOUGH with the "racism" crap already.

If people thought that electing a black president was going to help stop racism, they were sadly mistaken. It only fueled it and now everyone and their uncle is screaming about it pointing fingers at each other!

Why people just can't look at someone and see either a man, woman or child and nothing more, is beyond me

When Obama realizes that the opposition is NOT about racism and is because he's too far to the Left, groups like the Tea Party will continue to grow.

Listen, Carter made a huge mistake by making that accusation.

This only makes the uprising grow.

It really gets good at 3:40

Democrats are being collectively stupid, and that's what is happening! They elect dogs, instead of intelligent people ...

Dogs...you mean like BLACK labs! YOU RACIST!

"Dogs...you mean like BLACK labs! YOU RACIST!

Funny flag!

No I mean YELLOW-dogs known as Democrats ... white-eyes ...

I'm glad I did not live one day of the Carter Admin.

It seems like everything he says is straight garbage.

Him and Garafolo should get a room.

I think what Jimmy was realy trying to say was...

"Where all the white women at?"

When I was a wee boy and Carter was president I was turned onto this song..still applies to this day I see.

I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see,
I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see.
When I kill all the whities I see, then whitey he won't bother me,
I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see.

Yes, that's true. Actually I never met a black person until I was in high school. All I knew was black babies drank chocolate milk, and were chocolate candy that came in a box (yes I am that old), Brazil nuts were nigger toes and according to my father, MLK was a rabble rouser who was responsible for the Watts riot.

My first day in High School, as a freshmen we were all assigned to a senior who was a mentor of sorts. My senior was Reggie Sanderson the most respected athlete on the football team and black as a Nat King Cole. The first time we shook hands, I looked to see if his black color rubbed off. He was also the strongest athlete in the school and an A student. The first thing he told me was, 'If anyone gives you any shit let me know, I'll take care of it." On initiation day, a type of hazing, one of the seniors told me and another freshman to carry him into class. Reggie saw us struggling with this fat ass and walk up, said two words, 'Drop 'em". We did and that was the end of initiation for both of us. Reggie later went on to play major league ball. We stayed good friends throughout the year and I got to know the other token blacks that the school admitted early after LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act.

I knew then that Blacks were no different then anyone else. I think most racist are only that way because of their peer pressure and family tradition. That is why I say it also includes people of different political beliefs. I remember more then once being kicked out of a bar for having long hair in the 70's. It takes education to get over it. That's why I think most Republicans are as racist as they are uneducated, and that is a whole lot of them, especially the clowns swilling beer and holding racists signs at the Tea Parties. Educated Republicans have jobs just like educated Liberals.


Oh, and for the record, I live in Hawaii. Who do you think I voted for? Some military brat born in Panama?

How can anyone be accused of 'racism' against Barry when he is one-half caucasian...???

Congrats that is the bullshit post of the day...
Saying that a political affiliation and racism are hand in hand is the biggest load of shit I have ever heard. Some of the most racist beings I have ever known are high up the corporate ladder and more educated than most of the people I've seen here on DR

My God! What a jackass!

You don't know what it is to live in a black community do you?

I grew up the same time you did but went to a desegregated school. I know what it is to be a racist. I also know what it means to learn how to not hate. I also know that most of the people who lived in mixed black and white cities in the South went through a great deal to learn not to hate each other.

You don't. You act proud, but you have nothing to be proud of.

You say that these "Republicans" are racist. From your own admission, you have no clue about it!!!

What a jackass.

Liberal media insanity hits new high

Mark today as the date that the mainstream media put a gun in its mouth and pulled the trigger.
Newsweek
The cover of Newsweek:

IS YOUR BABY RACIST?

Illustrated with a close up photo of a (white) baby. To ask the question is to answer it. Welcome to the post-racial world of Barack Obama.

www.americanthinker.com

racism (rszm)
n.
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

Funny I don't see anything about politics or degree of education.... Well you know what they say about opinions...

Name someone who is a racist? They wouldn't be hear to defend themselves so why would I make that accusation.. Libel is not really my thing...

Jimmy is just trying do convince everyone that the biggest criticisms with Obama are about his skin color and not the Carter like fucked up policies he is pushing

You say that these "Republicans" are racist. From your own admission, you have no clue about it!!!


That was just my early experiences in high school. Later in life I lived in lots of fucked up places and had ton's more experience then you more then likely. I damn sure know what racism is and I say it goes way beyond just skin color. You can call me what ever you want eddie, but it won't make you less of a racist. If you judge someone based on the color of their skin or the clothes they wear or the hat on their head, that's racism. If you judge someone because of their religion of customs or the music they like, that's racism. If you judge someone because they are a socialist , or a communist, or a conservative that's racist too, because it is ingraned in most peoples culture. You can call it any thing you want. I'll call it what I want. The fact is that there are no more close minded people in America then white middle class conservatives.

As for my self, I am an equal opportunity racist, but I don't hate one until they threaten my life and family, then all bets are off. In Hawaii we joke about everyone openly, but we don't treat anyone like lesser men. At least most of us anyway.

Here's a prayer for Old Peanut Breath to recite 10 times instead of giving the media new fodder for painting all honest dissenters as racists...

God help us not miss Your Spirit today by turning too quickly away from those who come into our lives. Free us from the need to quickly resolve tension by moving away from those who may be different. Show us how to stay awhile without judgment, that in staying we may recognize some element of humanity that connects with our heart. Lord, in a world of great conflict, in a world divided by perception and party, bring Your peace. Amen

In Hawaii??? The biggest fuckin racist state on the face of our country! Different laws practiced and different prices practiced and not openly racist....you too funny!

The racist card is losing ground....why....because now the complainers are from the left and that card won't wash.

Jimmy is just trying do convince everyone that the biggest criticisms with Obama are about his skin color and not the Carter like fucked up policies he is pushing

If you listen to interviews with the teabaggers and such it soon becomes reasily apparent that they don't have a fucking clue wot Obama's policies actually are.

Ergo if they don't disagree with him on specific policies then where does this hatred of all things Obama stem?

Reading racist comments on blog sites and youtube commentary sections and the like over the course of the past few months has convinced Spud that anyone who thinks America is in a post racial period is kidding themselves.

Be Well.

Didnt realize that Jimmy Carter was relevant. Speaking of racists, since racists oppose everything that the President proposes, what has the king of racists in the US Senate - Mr. Byrd - said on healthcare reform. In fact, I wonder how often Byrd has opposed the President on any issue?

Spud - the US is far from being a "race free" in thought. Remember how the left and Democrats attacked Bobby Jindal - comments about his accent and skin color. When Bobby ran for governor the first time, the Dems tried to portray him as a muslim. Didnt see the national dems trying to stop it.

I find it humorous how Dems are trying to be high and mighty on race. Heck, if Democrats were so perfect on race, they should have kicked out Byrd many moons ago.

Spud - my sense is this. People are upset because they dont understand what is going on. Since they cant speak on the issue, they pick on the next obvious thing - external features. Maybe they are prejudice, maybe they are insensitive, and maybe they dont know any better. But I dont think race is driving their opposition. They just dont know how to express themselves otherwise.

Doesnt mean its right ... its just we are not a PC society.

The political left is such a fricking joke.

Maureen 'I need to get laid' Dowd found racism in the sentence, "You lie!"

Jimmy Carter castigates almost all who strenuously oppose the Obama agenda as racist.

Marxine Waters accuses the protesters this past weekend of being racist and wants the media to talk to ALL of them - the same media that can't be bothered to report on the ACORN-sting revelations - an organization that receives tax-payer funding and was instrumental to Obama's successful campaign.

This race-baiting bullshit has got to stop.

It's bad for the country and it's a horrible strategy for the DNC.

Which brings me to the leader of the DNC - President Obama. The supposedly post-racial president sits back and says nothing while all of his surrogates, including his PR machine aka the MSM, castigate opposition to his policies as a collective act of racism.

There are far more racists on the left than on the right. This fact bears itself out every day on this website alone.

It is the political left that injects race into just about everything - politics, policy, demonizing their detractors, etc. EVERYTHING is about race with the left.

The American public is tired of this shit.

The American public is tired of being called racist for disagreeing with this president's agenda.

This is a badly played card and it will backfire on the left and the DNC. Playing the race card is effective at college campuses, but not in the real world.

anyone who thinks America is in a post racial period is kidding themselves.


Be Well.

Interesting choice of words, "demonizing their detractors":

...from the Birthers' obsession with Obama's literal origins as the product of miscegenation; to the Deathers and the Town Hellers' insistence that healthcare reform was, in Glenn Beck's idiotic formulation, Obama's idea of "reparations" for slavery.

Do the words "Nixon's Southern Strategy" mean anything to you, Jeff?

Dixiecrats becoming Republicans over resistance to civil rights for blacks?

David Duke?

Jesse Helms?

Willy Horton?

Reagan's "Welfare Queens"?

McCain black baby?

Trent Lott telling Strom Thurmond he was "right" way back when he rejecting integration?

Immigrant bashing?

Confederate flag waving race baiting?

The modern incarnation of the Republican party has a long history of exploiting American racism for political gain. For the 1968 election, Nixon advisor Kevin Phillips devised a "southern strategy" in which Republicans sought to break the Democratic hold on the south by opposing the regionally loathed civil rights movement. The strategy worked - Nixon beat Democrat Hubert Humphrey by over 100 electoral votes. Along with the more visibly racist 3rd party candidate George Wallace, he shut Humphrey out of most of the south and helped to affirm the foundation of today's cultural divide.

In recent years, Republicans have attempted to change this perception by adopting a platform entitled "compassionate conservatism," and by appointing African-Americans to top government positions. These efforts have done little to change perceptions of the Republican party among African-Americans. However, they have managed to convince some moderate white voters that the Republicans have moved beyond their racist, Nixonian roots.

Now, please just to make Spud smile, ...bring up Robert Byrd.

Spud double dawg dares ya!

Just fer flava...

In 1981, during the first year of Mr. Reagan's presidency, the late Lee Atwater gave an interview to a political science professor at Case Western Reserve University, explaining the evolution of the Southern strategy:
"You start out in 1954 by saying, Nigger, nigger, nigger,' " said Atwater. "By 1968, you can't say nigger' that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights, and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things, and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites."

'Despicable' Democrats Under Fire for Racial Slur Against Indian-Americans

The president of the College Democrats of America is facing criticism from Indian-Americans for "despicable" comments he made about a Louisiana Republican gubernatorial candidate of Indian descent.

In an e-mail Tuesday, College Democrats President Ashley Bell, a law student at Louisiana State University, informed students of the upcoming governor's election between Democrat Lt. Gov. Kathleen Blanco and former Bush administration official Bobby Jindal, who was born a Hindu.

"On Saturday - we nominated Kathleen Blanco the Lt. Governor to be our nominee to take on Bush's personal 'Do Boy' Bobby Jindal," Bell wrote. "Jindal is Arab American [sic] and the Republicans [sic] token attempt to mend bridges long burnt with the Arab American community."

The fact that Bell called Jindal an Arab-American caused alarm, but Indian-Americans told CNSNews.com it was shameful for the College Democrats to label him as a token candidate because of his ethnicity.

"Playing the race card is just despicable," said Harin Contractor, an Indian-American student at the University of Georgia. "If that happened to the Jewish-American community or the African-American community ... there would be a huge backlash. But [Bell] doesn't care because we're Indian-American, and we don't matter."

To compound the situation, Bell responded shortly after sending the original e-mail with an apology that Contractor said was even more ignorant.

'Politically Correct'?

"In a recent email describing the Republican Nominee in Louisiana Bobby Jindal, I used what local news has termed Arab American - But in Fact Indian American is the politically correct terminology," Bell wrote. "So thank you to the curteous [sic] college dems - who let us know of the terminology mix up."

The Republican candidate won 33 percent of the vote in the governor's race. Because no candidate reached 50 percent, Jindal will meet Blanco, the second-place finisher with 18 percent, in a Nov. 15 runoff election. A recent poll indicates the race is a dead heat.

Jindal's campaign didn't return a call seeking comment, but Tulane University student Chris Meyer, state chairman of College Republicans, said the candidate wanted to stay focused on the issues facing Louisiana.

"It's just ignorance, and it's pretty sad that somebody would make claims like that based on Bobby's skin color," Meyer said of Bell's e-mail.

The College Republican National Committee called College Democrats a "laughingstock within the party of political correctness."

"This is just typical liberal spin trying to throw race into it to bring down the opposition or to bring themselves up," spokesman David Joyslin said. "As Republicans, we don't care about race. We just look at the person's stance on the issues and if they're going to be a good candidate."


"Ashley right now is at LSU, he's from Louisiana, and he's mixed up in this governor's race," Joyner said. "I think there was some emotion in his comments, and he didn't think them through. Ashley Bell is a good person. He is a wonderful leader, and he is very caring and thoughtful."

Through their treatment of women and working class voters, Howard Dean and the rest of the limousine libs drove me out of the Party and back into the ranks of the independents.

True populism that wants to limit governmental over-encrouchment, undue corporate over-influence, widening wealth inequality, degrading standards of life for many, poverty and intolerance, positions that can and should be agreed upon by most of the dissaffected and increasingly marginalised and harried members of both left and right will never form a legitimate third Independent party because the powers-that-be, those that frame the national dialogue through their control of an overly concentrated and co-opted media will never allow it.

That sed, you werk with wot you got.

Be Well.

Spud - a NYT Times editorial also referred to Bobby as dark skinned. Blanco was also accused of darkening Bobby's skin color in her campaign ads.

weeklystandard.com

... There's one more thing to know about Jindal: He was the victim of a racist attack by Democrats. In the governor's race, Jindal was leading Democrat Kathleen Blanco in polls--and the Democrats went all out. At a rally in New Orleans, the president of College Democrats of America, Ashley Bell, said Jindal "is Arab American" and "the Republican token attempt to mend bridges long burnt with the Arab-American community." Bell also referred to "Bush's personal 'Do Boy' Bobby Jindal." Blanco was quoted as telling a Democrat eliminated in the primary that "a Hindu out-Catholic'd both of us."

But it was a TV ad in the final week of the campaign that was pivotal. The spot began with a screaming headline, "Wake Up, Louisiana," and concluded by asserting, "They hope we won't wake up until it's too late." The ad was reminiscent of efforts to rally white Southerners against supporters of racial integration and civil rights legislation. And it showed a picture of Jindal with disheveled hair, a picture that some Republicans claimed was touched up to make Jindal's skin look darker. Jindal wound up losing to Blanco in areas where the so-called Bubba vote--white backers of Ku Klux Klansman David Duke in earlier elections--is strong. He lost statewide by 52 to 48 percent.

Southern strategy?
That was so 25-years ago.

And we live with its effects today, as in now. Expanding on Spud's Haley Barbour-CCC reference above:

October 15, 2003
Haley Barbour's Racist Connections
By Byron LaMasters
Mississippi Republican nominee for governor, Haley Barbour is the latest high profile Republican to have connections with the racist Council of Conservative Citizens. He's pictured on their homepage from a CCC event in July.

Now for those of you that may have forgotten, the Council of Conservative Citizens is a neo-Confederate Organization that lashes out at "so-called neo-conservatives" that "have embraced the legacy of Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement" (quote is from their website).

There's plenty more on it. All you gotta do is tickle ye olde Google.

Doc,

I don't mean to pretend that the right and/or the GOP doesn't stoke the racism fire.

My broader point is that it's the left that's doing an awful lot of the stoking of racial flames of late.

I think there's a great deal of sensitivity to any hint of racism in the aftermath of Obama's campaign and election. I'm certainly not saying all criticism of the guy is racist; far from it. (I criticize him, for example, not because he's black but because he's not far enough to the left.) But some of it certainly is. Check the threads here on the DR and you'll see it. There's no way "Obammy," for example, is anything but a racialist reference.

The office of the presidency held by a black man, with a black family living in the White House is something new for this country. I think most people are okay with it. But some aren't, and they hate and hate hard.

...positions that can and should be agreed upon by most of the dissaffected and increasingly marginalised and harried members of both left and right will never form a legitimate third Independent party... -- #306 | Posted by dethspud

Depends on what you mean by "legitimate." I'll be happy with "strong enough to convince the Dems that Dean's grab-the-apolitical,dump-the- working-class strategy doesn't leave them with a winning coalition.

- Jimmy Carter

What an incrdible hypocrite. He should have followed his own advice when he was trashing GWB in the press not long ago. As a former President he should be held to a much higher standard than some Joe-schmoe Congressman like Wilson.

I think Ol' Jimmy needs some warm peanut butter cookies, some milk and a nice nap.

Rosalynn should slap the stupid son of a bitch she calls a husband.

Is that how the sow your married to keeps you in line?

The office of the presidency held by a black man, with a black family living in the White House is something new for this country. I think most people are okay with it. But some aren't, and they hate and hate hard.

When an ex-prez comes out and paints Conservatives with a broad brush, you are going to see resistance. If Carter qualified it as you did, I didn't hear it. All I heard is "Opposition to Obama is simply racism"

Doc, it's good that you are being honest (don't mean to patronize). I agree that there are some fringe groups, but they've always been there.

It's like when Jackie Robinson broke the barrier in baseball. Most welcomed him, but some did not.

It's always nice to see an idiotic post from Jerry/HBDeluxe/Itsme, the guy who no woman will have and therefore is a sore ass.

rasmussion poll

Well, Rush IS an expert on pilonidal cysts.

its time for carter to head on back to plains and bankrupt another peanut farm.

from just above...

and I agree with Carter...Rush, Beck, O'Liely and
others who incite Neotards are America's hemmorroids...

and there we have it, the American disagreement in
a nutshell.


btw...found this article on Beck's possible political inspiration...scary!!

www.salon.com

"see I can use that broad brush too"

I guess I should have been clearer... I meant the majority of racists are creeps, not the majority of Republicans, which is how you conveniently took me.

I would not TAKE you coneniently or not....hee hee..

these same people are people who never said a word when books and movies came out about assisnating bush and all of the other shit

and ALSO on the house floor was a request to ask obama to apologize to the cop in the gates case by rep mccotter.
but NO media covered that except for stewart who made fun of it.
this is all a sham and an effort to demonize the people in dc on saturday and its going to backfire on these assholes and I will

lAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHH
HHHHH

BY THe wAY

has this man weighed in on the bus beating or the white guy who got his head crushed by a black gang.

you know some of that REAL racist stuff?

I thought not

WILL IT backfire.

YEs

WHO"S THE RACIST NOW ASSHOLE CARTER


www.thefoxnation.com

oh earth

you are going to have to do better than that..check out danfortha and northguy if you want to get some better lines.lol.

amatuer.

"I agree with rush...carter is america's hemmorroid"

Well, God knows Rush is the expert on all things ass.

JUST after I throw some 'cred' your way all you can come up with is something already used??

how embarrassing and disappointing.

and this JUST IN from that Non-Racist we all
know and love....Rush (jerk) Limbaugh...

rawstory.com

(cough)
....racist...(cough,cough) a racist...

the more desperate and fringe the
Right gets, the more we see their
true colors...

(just bring out the white hooded robes already
and be done with it)...

you know you want to...

"I would not TAKE you coneniently or not....hee hee.."

You're right, there would be nothing convenient about it at all.

First you'd have to travel all the way to NYC...

This stuff's made in New York City.

NEW YORK CITY?!

"NEW YORK CITY?!"

God I hate that commercial... which I don't think was ever shown in NYC. It was a running joke my first couple of years in YNP.

Every time Carter looks in the mirror he sees a racist. He happens to be an unabashed anti-Semite.

Someone tell the old worthless man to shut up and go back to his rock that he crawled out of.

How do you "crawl out of a rock"? That would be a pretty neat trick.

I loved it, it was no "Freedom Rock," but damn funny at 3am.

In Hawaii??? The biggest fuckin racist state on the face of our country! Different laws practiced and different prices practiced and not openly racist....you too funny!

Thank you moneywar. The only ones who would listen to your ignorant rant we don't want to come here anyway. It's stupid assholes like you that would give anyplace a bad smell.

BTW, only a really stupid person would think that we have different laws for people. Name one example pubbie. Oh, you can't? So that makes you stupid and ignorant. Double the fun.

As for different prices, Hawaii has what we call Kamaiana rates for locals at some hotels car rentals and tourist attractions, but it has nothing to do with race, religion or political ideology. It all about possesing state ID. Tourism is Hawaii's biggest industry because we take care of our state, unlike your shithole.

Your remarks about racists in Hawaii, well all I can say is at least we are equal opportunity racists. We don't care much for all the obnoxious fat assed loud mouths that come ove here and disrespect our aloha spirit, black, brown or white, something you surely know nothing about, but most of us still tolerate their shitty attitudes, wether they are doing business with us or not.


The only thing you can count on from the left is being called a racist if you stop giving them money.

Damn right! Now hand it over you facist bastards.

This whole Carter bashing is a stupid response from the right anyway. All you have to do is ask yourself who would you rather have running the country, Carter or Bush. The true fools will betray themselves.

Yeah, I so fondly recall the fine Carter years that provide 17% 30-year mortgage rate.

Wow! What a dumbass!

Back then the interest rate followed the inflation rate.....wonder why the feds now keep the interest rate low. I suppose carter did this!!!

Time for a new headline:

"Pelosi cries like a whiny bitch over her own hypocrisy."

clerk.house.gov

Dammit...this one

www.realclearpolitics.com

Although the last one is very satisfying, racist as it may be.

Back then the interest rate followed the inflation rate.....wonder why the feds now keep the interest rate low. I suppose carter did this!!!

Not only that, but you could buy a house for $25,000 in California! That interest was peanuts compared to what 7% is on a $250,000 loan and the banks didn't need a bailout to keep the doors open.

Guess who's administration got the 1000% housing inflation rolling? Hint, it wasn't Carter. Oh, and now that Bush is retired, what's he doing? Building houses for the poor? Negotiating for world peace? Speaking at town hall meetings? Nope he's retreating into the bottle where he came from, while Dick is trying his damnedest to convince the public he was really a dogooder in drag.

"Pelosi cries like a whiny bitch over her own hypocrisy."


Obviously Pelosi is a racist.

Maybe if the right quits saying racist things then maybe people won't call them out for it.

Way to go Carter!!!

You right-wingnuts just don't like the fact that we have a black President . You all would be in line for healthcare reform if we had a white President or at least wouldn't be showing so much disrepect to our commander in chief . the world is
watching and all you fools can do is come up with
these ludicrous conspiracy theories , when most everthing preposed benefits most americans , You
included !

Okay lets have a quick SITREP...

Van Jones resigned because of RW media exposure
Art boy for the endowment of the arts sidelined because of RW media exposure
ACORN is all but dead (investigation pending) from amateurs! and RW media exposure

Your bleeding heart media outlets far outnumber lil old RW and it cant do a fucking thing but burry their heads in the sand.

Olbananas extends the Patriot Act... The very act you were crying out of your vag's in the previous administration...

Olbananas denies detainees their right to trial while months ago you were yet again crying out of your vag's about the misrepresentation and harsh treatment of detainees...

Van Jones was right though Rethugs are assholes.. They are in perfect cadence of everything and all you demascraps can do is agree to give Joe Wilson a little slap on his poor little hand...

Do you really think that fueling this fire with racism is going to extinguish it??? Do we really want to revive Jim Crowe and another Civil Rights movement??? Honestly?

As an independent I should be laughing my fucking ass off but it's not the time nor the place..
I didn't put in time behind the wire to watch one side of the room spend the first part of the year talking a bunch of shit and orienting their compass in the same direction the other side of the room has already taken us.

Its topics like these that take us back in evolution and reduce us into nothing more than a bunch of jerk off shit throwers...

#353 LM - astute.

One correction: Van Jones was such a bigmouth and obviously not WH material, he could've been taken down by a HS newspaper.

Indeed... It wasn't a smear campaign against Mr. Jones.... Van's worst enemy was his own words and actions.
