Just How Racist Is the 'Obama Phone' Video? (Atlantic: It's racist to show videos of Obama voters)

Or is this a better question to ask: Is it racist that the networkds did NOT show Mia Love’s speech, did NOT report on the abuse she is getting? Is it racist to conceal successful, articulate, intelligent Black Americans who happen to be Republicans? We have to change the questions, stop reflexively answering the stupid questions posed by so-called journalists.

I don't think this is racist, rather, I think it's telling on the thinking of a lot of people in America....both black and white. What about the video made right after the guy in the white house had been elected? Remember....the woman stood up and was so excited, proclaiming in a loud voice...”I won't have to pay my mortgage payments, or my car payments...etc”. I can tell you, these past several years, that woman has crossed my mind several times....and I've always thought .....wonder what she thinks of that “hope and change”now....well obviously, it must be fine .....as I'm pretty sure she's going to give it another go....country be damned...and she'll fall in line to vote once again for him....all the while grabbing for that gov. teat.

So far, I’ve had to cancel cell phone, cable, internet at home and go without other admittedly small luxuries. I’m making the same money I was 4 years ago. Everything has gone up so drastically that another four years I may qualify for a ‘free’ phone..................

Reality is racist!?!?!

I didn’t see any mention that these ‘protesters’ were BUSSED in to dog Romney throughout the state. Therefore they were hand picked by the Obamorons to represent their side........................

As usual, Obama taking credit for a program that started thirty years ago and refusing to take responsibility for the messes he has made on his “watch”.

I’m still just trying to figure out why she’s yelling.

Talking loud doesn’t make you right..............or any smarter for that matter.

Lets just condense this down to its most basic: Any criticism of Obama is racist. And it should be avoided at all costs.

THIS.

Is basically the story of the Obama administration.

Sometimes it’s not stereotype, it’s simply observation.

The 47% need to be drafted and paradropped into Iran.

I Googled the Obama phone and got 2 hits on lefty blogs that said this program started under Clinton and continued under Bush.
I know that I should suspect that this is a lie because these two sites were leftist, and we all know they are lyin' sunz'o'bishes.

My son once told me that his women have to have teeth, that’s where he draws the line.

BTW, Drudge had another white obama supporter that was just as stupid. Made a comment in his video that the killed Ambassador probably deserved it. Noone is complaining about that one.

I saw that video and think he was just as stupid as most 0 bummer voters. I never saw and FR thread, but would bitch about him as much as I do about this dim voter. There was a video of 0 bummer voters in 2008 that had more whites that were just as stupid.

My health insurance costs are so high that if I was younger I would think about going without (at least while that is still allowed).

What next from sugar daddy? Free 60-inch flat screens under the “Freedom of Information Act”?

I signed up with “Boost” last year, by next year me rate will be around $30 a month, unlimited everything, text, voice, etc.

These people getting free obama phones are going to the office to apply for them wearing $400 tennis shoes and driving Escalades.

The typical Obama voter’s total understanding of the economy is the size of their monthly government check, that’s it. They revel in ignorant bliss that it all comes from Obama’s “stash”, which is eternal (to them).

They all know one thing, how to work the system, and it won’t stop until the well is dry. That’s the end result of socialist slavery. No one will be coming to their rescue then, there will be no emancipation, but things will finally be equal, equal misery.

The resulting “mad max” world will no longer resemble the America we all grew up in, peace and liberty will be ideas of the past.

Even if Obama loses, does anyone think he will go away quietly? With his ill-gained prominence and suckling media, he’ll become the “community organizer from hell”. His following won’t go away and he’ll be anointed as a “shadow president” of a “shadow government”, keeping the class wars going and dividing the country over class and race.

He’s a narccisist, and being out of the limelight will no suit him well. He will make Jackson and Sharpton look like pikers. Hell be on TV more than he has while in office, helping the old media trash Romney more than they did Bush.

Free cellphones, like the bratty kid who must give his toys to have playmates.

The comments at The Atlantic are a hoot. The Right and the Left are having a lively discussion, and the Left is losing, IMHO.

Read Coulter’s new book. Your questions will be answered.

"Or is this a better question to ask: Is it racist that the networkds did NOT show Mia Love’s speech, did NOT report on the abuse she is getting?"

Exactly. It's very creepy the way they try to make people invisible. If you don't agree with Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow- two privileged white individuals (using the language of the left here), you simply don't exist...
