Southern Shockwave: Mary Landrieu Blames Obama's Unpopularity on Racism
Breitbart Big Government ^ | October 31, 2014 | Wynton Hall

Posted on 10/31/2014 2:39:56 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

In comments sure to cascade into regional races across the South, embattled Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) told NBC's Chuck Todd on Thursday that Southern racism is to blame for President Barack Obama's unpopularity.

"Why does President Obama have a hard time in Louisiana?" asked Todd.

“Let me be very, very honest with you," said Landrieu. "The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans. It's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader."

Landrieu added: “It has not always been a good place for women, to be able to present ourselves. It’s more of a conservative place. So we’ve had to work a little bit harder on that. But, you know, the people trust me, I believe. Really, they do.”

I would love to have the magic negro come to my area for a chance to protest his sorry marxist mooselimb fag ass.
When Klintoon came to Sewells Point for a fundraiser while running we lined the streets with signs warning of a sexual predator in our midst.
Great fun.

Liberal history doesn’t recognize the role of Democrats in the issues you mention. Its frustrating how the liberals have rewritten history, to make it that Republicans and conservatives were who kept blacks subjugated.

Interpreting her statement, the good thing is that she is white because a black woman could not be elected in LA where there are racists

Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Alan Keys, Ward Connerly, Condi Rice, Allen West, Ben Carson, etc... All would do a much better job than the thug in there now. I would vote for any of them.

As usual, it’s just my own personal observation but traveling and living in both north and south over the years, the north wins the prize for any racism.

While there may be some enmity between the races in the South, there is a mutually genuine affection and respect for the individual.

I’ve always enjoyed the sight of self-important white liberal politicians having to grovel at the feet of such low-life scum as Al Sharpton.

If I had to do that as part of my job I’d blow my brains out...

It’s not the fault of the southern states that Blacks have had a “hard time” in the South, it’s the Dems that were giving them “hard times” in the South and else where.

Why is it that Repubs don’t remind Black dems of their history in the South and the real reasons that they have such a “hard time” there??

Still with this R bulls^%t!

Eight years ago the race thing ended in America.

Some minorities won’t assimilate so they just don’t know how to live as equals in an equal society...Then they insist it’s the fault of everyone ELSE!

“”The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans.”

That’s when DEMOCRATS controlled the south.

Contemptible lying Ladreieu being selfishly desperate to retain her political elite power and perquisites.
Setting aside the Demmunist Party Election Stealing Machine, Obama ostensibly won two presidential elections.
How is that racist, Mary, you ignorant dolt?
Now, the fact that Obama took every opportunity to stoke the divisive flames of racism from his bully pulpit (along with his affirmative action brethren, AG Eric "The Red" Holder) in adhering to the Marxist doctrine of dividing the people can not be held against We the People.
Time to get lost, Landrieu.

It’s so pathetic...completely laughable.

The beauty here is that now we are seeing where crying racism has now come to have the same crebility as “crying wolf”.

The left, in embracing its ridiculous rhetoric and employing it with the finess of a rabid bull in a china shop has done us an immeasurable service.

They have forever eliminated race as a viable issue in politics. It’s been so wholly and completely discredited that no one gives a damn about it any more...

Quick question for Mary...

If someone has a legitimate criticism of Obama, how will we know it’s not racism?
