This is the actual quote:
"Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
Some people have tweaked the wording to make it look like he is saying something he's not. I've never agreed with this tactic, but whatever. All's fair in love and war.
So you think she’s sane and competent?
Why else would you be so scared of her? Or maybe it's just that you are a gutless little coward?
So you can’t answer the question, you just call names like a third grader?
Impressive.
It’s interesting that Obama would want to talk about Japanese internments during WWII, but the sad truth is that such internments, if they existed for certain ethnic groups, could have theoretically thwarted the 9/11 attacks. But, the reality is that Obama is making what is essentially a strawman argument. ‘Hard stares’ from neighbors is a poor comparison with Japanese internment. What ugly direction does Obama suppose the political winds could shift to in which he thinks he needs to stand with Arab and Pakastani Americans?? IOW, he’s drawing a line over a nonexistent problem.
Pretty sure that humblegunner has a tiny lower horn.
Thanks, mills044. Someone had frmailed me the list, and FReeper tutstar was kind enough to locate the exact quote. Check out # 22:

Why do you bother?
Thank you for doing the truth telling, but when you’re dealing with defectors like Ms. WKA” you got to wonder, or rather you got to NO wonder why our beloved nation is sliding down the shoot to Marxism!!!
Anyone who think this possible is a worse nutcase than Orly Taiz. YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO REMOVED YOUR DEAR LEADER, THE USURPER, UNLESS WE HAVE A HONDURAS "REVIVAL"!!!
But guys we all know that HG, the chief nutcaser is banned, right, LOL???
It works every-time someone needs attention or counseling!!
It's like a secret signal for the Prairie Dogs to come out of the holes and being ready for the attack mode, never fails!!!
What’s odd to me is that he and others seem to think no one can multi-task. The red flag goes up.
She’s the “face” of the birthers?

Many people can multi task you know. I guess we will never know how many minds were swayed by bringing all of the inconsistencies to light, will we? The last poll I saw showed that around 70% had questions about his birth certificate and thought he was hiding things.
Don't be a dickhead, we all saw what the dems did to pass their health care bill.
Your method is not working.
I hope so, I doubt it.
We might not Orly our way out of it but when the evidence mounts to the point where it can no longer be ignored, we can SCOTUS our way out of it.
Vote Him Out.

WTF? How dare you say that Lucy took it out of context. Why don’t you post the entire quote? It’s even more damning. Now go find it and post it to back up your snotty post.
