Robert Gibbs Disagrees with Maureen Dowd that Opposition to Obama Policies due to Race - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | September 14, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 09/14/2009 4:57:50 AM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs yesterday on with CNN's John King. King asked Gibbs if Obama agreed with the New York Times' Maureen Dowd that many of those opposing ObamaCare are doing so because Obama is a "black President."

Gibbs disagreed with Dowd:

"I don't think the President believes that people are upset because of the color of his skin."

Yet, Obama's pack of enablers in the media just keep saying this. It was a theme all weekend, because they are desperate to dismiss all opposition as just being from the fringes of society. We'll find out just how fringe the opposition is come November 2010. . . . (VIDEO)

"I don't think the President believes that people are upset because of the color of his skin."

Probably the most honesty we've heard out of Gibbs in months. However the fact that the president doesn't believe it doesn't mean he wants to stop others from saying it.

It’s a scam. Obama denies it while they have others run around to say it.

Did Dowd cry "genderism" after Hillarycare was defeated '93-'94?

I think the charge of "racism" is just a simple ad hominem attack. Obamanoids can't think of a rational way to defend him so they just insult those who criticize him.

If Obama were a women, the charge would be sexism. If he were a muslim (out of the closet muslim that is), the charge would is islamaphobia.

Obama is indefensible, so the only response available is insult his critics.

It’s funny how the more Obama runs his mouth, the more America becomes a “racist” country.

Absolutely a scam...like back during the campaign, when the Messiah professed ‘families are off limits’ and then had his minions practically drive the SWAT team of reporters/researchers to Wasilla, Alaska to dig up dirt on teenagers.

Barry, is above it all (nose in air as I type this...)

This just raises the question of whether most in the MSM are simply bigots, liars, or such intellectual lightweights that they're unable to dig deeper and analyze the current citizens' protests in depth. Many of them are resorting to childish slurs and name calling.

“However the fact that the president doesn't believe it doesn't mean he wants to stop others from saying it.”

I'll go a step further and say, people who chose Obama did so knowing race WOULD be an issue and are using it to enhance their agenda.

It's been a common thread in their movement.

She loved to poke fun at the Bush(y) world from her “Dowdy” world, and she is back very deep into her “Dowdy” world.

Only blacks can change this racism. They are being told that they have no minds of their own, that they are 'herds'.

Blacks who disagree w/ Obambi need to speak out and call out MoDo for HER racism.

Playing the race card is about all they have left to use.

And they are using it so much that it is losing its former effectiveness.
