What Does CBS’s Controversial Obama Picture Mean?
The Blaze ^ | 11/5/10 | Jonathon M. Seidl

Posted on 11/05/2010 1:25:54 PM PDT by Nachum

On Wednesday, CBS published a doctored picture (dually attributed to itself and the Associated Press) showing Barack Obama as half black and half white, with a line clearly visible down the center of his face. And just in case that wasn’t controversial enough, the photo also pictures Democrats leaning over his “black” side while Republicans look over his “white” side. Via NewsBusters:

The picture, naturally, is causing quite the stir.

Creative Minority Report asks, “Are they saying that Obama will have to act white with Republicans?” and adds, “The idiocy of this is only heightened by the fact that Obama’s heritage is mixed.”

The picture helps to drive another nail into the “race baiter” coffin IMO.

That they are as racists as they claim others to be.

Plus it is out and out race baiting, notice the Repubs on the “light” side, yet they actually darkened the other side to bait Blacks and Latinos. And ofcourse the Dummies are on the darkerside. (this is starting to sound like Star Wars)
Anyway,

But my first knee jerk reaction was that they were calling Obama an eggplant. Any way you cut it it is racist. Not unlike all Dummies.

Is is obvious that no one at CBS has studied history. Literate people know historically Republicans were for blacks and Democrats were against them. I believe the book is called American History in Black and White. But who at CBS would be literate?

you know what i think? it’s just a scheme - to get back into the good graces of the majority of the voters who voted red during mid-terms. they don’t have ANY ratings & it’s like MSNBC’s Keith Olberman whom that network called him to the carpet for his political donations to the dems it ‘s just a way to get back in good graces and all this time CBS has been gunning for the bamster. what a sham
