Aren’t They Getting Tired of Calling Obama Opponents Racist?
Pajamas Media ^ | August 16 | Frank J. Fleming

I’m a little ashamed to admit it, but despite my constant mockery of everything Obama during the presidential campaign (what can I say, I’m a partisan hack), I now realize how much I actually bought into some of his absolutely empty hope and change rhetoric.

When Barack Obama said he was a post-racial candidate, I initially believed him. He seemed different from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who are incapable of seeing any issue as something other than a conflict between two races. I thought that while his election would be bad for a lot of issues I cared about, it might actually be worth losing on those issues just to move past silly race issues.

Yes, quite naive.

For me, the first indication that Obama was not at all post-racial was finding out what a racist loon his preacher for twenty years was. While I never actually thought Obama hated white people, it was disturbing how easily he tolerated that issue to gain street cred in Chicago. And what should have been obvious is that someone who is that cynical and opportunistic about race issues is going to be even more so when fighting for and wielding more power. Except now he has the entire national media with him....

Infantile Name Calling is the last resort for liberal losers.
They are sensing their failure that’s all.
Smile...you’re on the road to victory!

It’s time to turn the argument around. The chance to finally kill the race card is before us and all we have to do is point out the facts: We have a racist black President.
This man attended a racist church for 20 years, referred to his Grandmother as a “typical white woman”, attacked a white cop without knowing the facts, endorses openly anti-Semitic persons and policies, and recently appointed a racist Latina to the Supreme Court.
E-mail warriors, it is TIME to rid ourselves of the race-card...

No, they are not getting tired of calling Obama’s opponents “racists”.

Leftists will never get tired of calling conservatives “racists”.

yep.

When you're on target, expect to catch some flak.

I'm loving this. The more shrill BO's defenders get, the worse they sound.

I had no idea it would get this bad, this fast. I figured BO would have at least six months of being "The First Black President (ooooh! ahh!) To Do (whatever)"

Instead, we're about 6 months in, and we have the First Black President With Approval Ratings Lower Than Jimmy Carter.

Likely, a quickly neutered president and congress are about the best I could hope for out of the 2008 elections, as a Conservative.

Egads! That pithy maxim is so spot on, it makes for a plank on the democratic platform.

Its really too bad that the first black man elected as POTUS was not a conservative who believed in the Constitution and the greatness of America. The left would be falling all over themselves trying to explain how a black man could garner so much support in white America. They just don’t understand it’s not about race but about policy.

Sorry that you bought that BS Frank, but I suppose that you probably weren't alone. I didn't buy it. It was too obvious in the way his attack dogs would go after anyone with the race card if they criticized anything about him. And this was still during the campaign!

O'Bumbler has single handedly set race relations in America back 20-30 years. We are going to have to work our collective selves through all of this ground all over again.

I’m sure they’ll never tire of using the word racist.
The problem for them is that 79% of the American voters are sick of hearing it.

Since he and his ilk probably weren’t read the moral based fables as children, it’s no wonder they don’t know the story of “The boy who cried Wolf”.

Amen and amen. Good grief, I used to get upset when someone called me a racist, now I just realize that I am winning the argument.

I’m glad they’re calling normal people racist. Very few believe the charge any more. They’ll have to try something else to drum up some White Guilt.

If leftists couldn’t call their opponents “racists”, they would lose one of their major talking points. Then they would only have “Nazi, homophobe, anti-immigrant, sexist, bigot”, etc., etc. They can’t argue facts, so name-calling is their only “argument”.
