Life Under Obama
BernardGoldberg.Com ^ | 11-11-11 | Bernard Goldberg

When liberals insist that the reason Obama is faring so badly in the polls is because most of us are racists, does it never occur to them that they’re like the boy who cried “Wolf!”?

Let us say that, unlike Michael Bloomberg, Henry Waxman and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, you’re not a career politician, but merely a run-of-the-mill Democrat. Wouldn’t it ever occur to you to wonder why it is that if we’re all racists, how it is that Obama won the election three years ago? And how is it that a guy who’s much blacker than Obama, Herman Cain, is doing so well with conservatives? And how is it that the likes of Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Walter Williams, Ward Connerly, Condoleezza Rice, Clarence Thomas and Allen West, are universally liked and admired by Republicans?

Why aren’t white liberals repulsed when such corrupt public figures as Maxine Waters, Charles Rangel, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, take it upon themselves to determine who is “authentically black”? Inasmuch as liberals constantly repeat Martin Luther King’s admonition that people be judged on the basis of their character and not their pigmentation, how is it that in their circles decent character is inevitably trumped by party affiliation?

When I think of liberals, both in and out of public office, I’m reminded that Groucho Marx once cracked, “These are my principles and if you don’t like them, I have others.”

About tired of obammy and holders people and supporters saying I’m racist. Christian, white, former military, NRA mamber, business owner, and I’m racist/?
OK fine, I’m a racist. I’ll accept that and have no problem if that is the title because I very much dislike obummer.
And there is NOTHING anyone can do to change my mind.

Yeah, I think I posted something similar once before on this subject. Sick and tired of the “racist” crap, and I know I’m/WE are NOT alone.

Anymore we don’t care if we are called racist, and that’s for any reason they trump up. WE know better, and ultimately our actions, and our character speak for us.

They whom scream “RACIST” are like noisey barking dogs ensconced behind a chain link fence.

“”At one time racism was dead and buried but some Liberal Dr. Frankenstein came along and oh well,,,we know the story.””

IMO Johnny Cochran resurrected it and it took off again. Never long buried with Sharpton and Jackson on the scene but people pretty much ignored them (at least those of us with a brain) but Cochran got the publicity because of OJ and people began to think that was really cool - they really are out to get us! Think of Mark Fuhrman who was tarred with that brush. Again IMO, very unfairly and so unnecessary!! It sure did work and muddied the waters enough to get that not guilty verdict!
