I’m asking all you white males in the USA to stand together this November and vote as one to defeat any member of Congress who supports the President’s policies.
What? You think that is racist? It can’t be, because the President himself said:
This year, the stakes are higher than ever,” he said, according to a transcript of his remarks provided by Democratic officials. “It will be up to each of you to make sure that young people, African Americans, Latinos and women who powered our victory in 2008 stand together once again.
Racist is as racist does.
This is almost as bad as the “indoctrination of young people” we hear about when Obama spoke to school children about staying in school and working hard etc. I was surprised you took the bait on that one too.
All three groups of people he mentioned traditionally don’t turn out well at elections. That changed in 2008 which is why Obama won. If the Dem’s are going to have a chance in any election they need those demographics to show up again. That isn’t racist, it is a fact.
How dare him try to rally an important base for his party in the mid-terms!
Are you really going this low to find ways to hate the President? Do you really think he is a racist? Honestly?
My point on the school indoctrination was that when Bush did it the left went nuts, when Obama did it, the right was crazy to mention it.
I once again note the hypricosy of the left. Tea Partiers are racist white males, but the Prez can exclude them and not be racist.
double standards are double standards no matter where you stand politically.
I remember when you applauded John Stewart for skewering Keith Olbermann when he screaming racism for no apparent reason. You were right to do so. Olbermann was acting like a fool. How is what you are doing any different than Keith.
You used to always tell me “two wrongs don’t make a right…”
If someone calls me a cracker and I respond by calling him or her the “n” word, I am not pointing out a double standard, I am just acting like as big of a dope as he or she is.
It reminds me of Borat…”What? In America, women can vote but a horse cannot?”
Coincidentally, on the radio on the way to work was a debate about adopting the Aussie “you are legally obligated to vote” policy. I’m all for it. You’re right, white dudes should go vote, and so should everyone else (even women)…
“Even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us–the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of ‘anything goes.’ Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America–there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America–there’s the United States of America.â€â€“state senator Barack Obama, Democratic National Convention, July 27, 2004
My oh my, how things change…
Comment #5 nails it down. As an American, Obama is supposed to be my President too, but he clearly excludes old white men from his constituency. He apparently thinks we were all slave masters, and have to be punished and deprived as payback. There is just this unbelievable double standard when it comes to talking about race.
