President Barack Obama recently met over beer with Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Sgt. James Crowley, hoping to diffuse tense debates over racial profiling and racial bias triggered by the arrest of the Harvard University scholar by the Cambridge, Mass., police department officer.
Though that racially charged conversation may be over, vicious attacks on the first Black President of the United States are not. Analysts say don't expect the attacks to end anytime soon.
The most outrageous charges may have come from radio and TV talk show host Glenn Beck. “I'm not saying that he doesn't like people I'm saying he has a problem. He has a, this guy is, I believe a racist,” he said during a morning show on Fox News Network July 28. The president has a deep seated hatred for White people or their White culture, said Mr. Beck.
“Beck is paid to do just what he did and his remarks represent a psychological game that's being played by people who have no program, nothing positive, and no alternative and it's absurd for them to even start throwing around that Barack Obama is racist when his mother's White and most of his cabinet is White,” said Dr. David Horne, executive director of the California African American Political and Economic Institute, a political think tank in Southern California.
“The criticisms are nonsense and really are the desperate acts of people who don't like being displaced in terms of their image and sense of who they are,” Dr. Horne said.
Since he announced his candidacy, Mr. Obama and his family have been maligned, slandered, and targeted by right wing and so-called independent media hosts. Among those who have focused on largely discredited issues are right wing radio host Rush Limbaugh and self-described “independent” CNN host Lou Dobbs.(continued)

Because he’s an America-hating, Marxist thug from Chicago?
The first black president is also the first socialist one.
Because the First Black “Pres__ent” is a total dumbass, that’s why.
It is my observation that the president should never have been involved in the incident.
Hitler had a mostly white cabinet too.
I am white right.
Why did “White-Left” attack the first born-again, evangelical Christian President?
I believe he refused to acknowledge his mother's race and said his own "White" grandmother had racist beliefs. I wonder if they interview the Secret Service officer who was transfered because he spoke to obama about his family's derogatory comments about a specific demographic group?
Because he’s an America-hating, Marxist thug from Chicago who has been cozying up to the most vile dictators around the world and alienating our democratic ally in the Middle East while apologizing all over the world for American exceptionalism with his arrogant rightous nose stuck up in the air?
At some point the word racist will have little to no meaning whatsoever. A word that has lost it’s impact.
Are we there yet?
I’m only attacking the White Socialist half.
I love the Black half, it’s really cool.
Are we friends now?
That’s the game plan - any criticism of the Marxist president is attributed to his race.
[Why is White Right Attacking the First Black President?]
Ummm, cause he’s a socialist/facist?
This nation from its creation says that there are unalienable ‘rights’ to each and every individual citizen that come from none other than the Creator ....life....liberty....and the pursuit of happiness. And these control freaks think they can poke their ugly fingers in the eye of the Heavenly Father and He will not take note???
Their double mindedness has no limits.
Actually wasn’t Clinton the first black president because of his womanizing ways (that was such an insult)? I guess he could have been since this one is half and half.
“Charlene Muhammad”
LMAO!!
Let this be a lesson for all who think compromise is good. When you give in to evil you'll get the blame when the s^!+ hits the fan.
Dear Charlene;
1) Unlike you, we don’t give a crap what colour his skin is. We’re not racists. You, OTOH ...
2) Your precious Barry Hussein is a communist, an abortionist, and a would-be tyrant. He deserves opposition.
“I’m only attacking the White Socialist half.
I love the Black half, it’s really cool.
Are we friends now?”
If he has at least one drop of white blood that makes him a white guy, right?
YEAH....I’m critizing his MARXIST HALF....his Black half...I could care less about.

I can’t imagine why, except for that he’s black. It can’t be that he’s a communist, dictator loving, America hating phony. oh no no no!
**Why is White Right Attacking the First Black President?**
That’s not the point. The healthcare bill stinks.
Cap and tax stinks.
The stimulus is starting to rot and really be stinky.
Hey Charlene, please learn the difference between a proper and improper noun before writing your next piece. Thanks.
For me, been past it.
He’s a communist and that has nothing to do with race.
Obama is turning out to be a uniter not a divider. He's uniting everyone against him.
Why? Well, maybe because the FBP's policies are incredibly destructive, nonsensical, corrupt and corrupting. Maybe, just maybe, all of these folks are attacking the FBP for these reasons.
The really funny one is when black people from the UK, France, wherever, are spoken of as “African-American”. Because African-American in the US isn’t really a race or a culture, it’s a political class, and people here have gotten used to thinking in those terms even if they don’t know it.
LOL!
“Are we there yet?”
If someone calls me a racist I couldn’t care less!
> The hypocrisy of these people is astounding. The term “racism” is a Marxist invention. When Whites engage in favoritism toward other Whites (and therefore discrimination against non-whites), it’s called “racism”. When other groups engage in favoritism, it’s called “ethnic solidarity”. When Whites object to Jewish favoritism, it’s called “anti-semitism”. When you buy into these word games, it’s called being a useful idiot.
I have a problem with these definitions. White on black racism is/was just as real as the black on white racism evidenced by Dr. Gates’ and President Obama’s profiling of the white policeman. And I am pretty sure that it was not the objection to “Jewish favoritism” that gets Nazis (of old and new variety) accused of antisemitism. That would be antisemitism without the dashes and scare-quotes.
As far as Farrakhan’s publication is concerned, why even bother. It’s not as if we expect them to say some thing different.

MAJOR NUT JOB ALERT!!!
Do his policies suck because he is black?
I didn't know this. I feel awful. I am a bigot! oh my God! Lord help me!
I know, I will sing to make me feel better.
Gonna get me a gun gonna shoot all the Whiteys I see,
Gonna get me a gun gonna shoot all the Whiteys I see, and when I'm all done no Whitey gonna botho me....
Half and half and someone who has always struck me as a white man with a deep tan, who only learned to play the role of an African-American after he grew up. So there is always something off-key about his performances.
It's fine for Horne to disagree with Glenn Beck. However, Glenn took a lot of time to document the basis for his statement, and it is just plain lazy and intellectually dishonest to dismiss his concerns as "nonsense."
Horne probably didn't bother to research the matter further. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he refused to listen if offered the chance to hear Glenn's evidence. Here it is for anyone who is interested.
Beck Explains His Comment for the [Lazy and Braindead] Media
Marc H. Morial, a lawyer by profession, is leading the National Urban League into a new era with street smarts and boardroom savvy." Selected in May of 2003 as the 8th President and CEO of the nation's largest and oldest civil rights and direct services organization empowering African Americans and other ethnic communities, Morial has helped thrust the League into the forefront of major public policy issues, research and effective community-based solutions.
How is Barack 'the uniter' Obama doing so far?!
This is a joke, right? Obama isn’t a racist because his mother is white? Don’t I remember him throwing her under the bus?
Now me, I’m ready to accept the comments of another lame, racist black professor. Why I even believed the first racist, Marxiat black professor. Of course pop used to drop me on my head in the evenings when I was real small. He only did it when he was drinking because he thought it was funny the way I bounced.
he taught me that all white people are racist and all black people are victims. You don’t figure he could have been mistaken, do you?
And there we have the truly intellectual left.
Not all of these guys are dumb...just most of them.
Above will be the mantra they sing as they try to eliminate independent thought, action and consequence.
The charges will be exclusively about racism and class. Demonization of middle America.
They believe they've won a revolution...but the good doctor should know the revolution hasn't even started yet.
