Maher: Obama ‘the first black president of the racist states of America’
The Daily Caller ^ | April 28, 2012 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 04/28/2012 9:45:36 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

On his Friday program, HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher called President Barack Obama “the first black president of the racist states of America,” while criticizing a line regularly used by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney while on the campaign trail: “If people think there’s something wrong with being successful in America, then they’d better vote for the other guy.”

Romney’s statement, according to Maher, crosses a line.

“You’ve got to say this about Mitt, he’s a master politician,” Maher said. “I just heard him say this the other day — he said this: ‘If people think that there is something wrong with being successful, vote for the other guy.’ First of all, who thinks there is something wrong with being successful?”

Maher called Romney’s statement a straw man argument, but suggested Obama was successful too since he overcame racism to become the first black president of what he called “the racist states of America.”

The best way to deal to holier-than-thou accusations of being racist from clowns like Maher is to respond in a way even they would understand, Hey, Billy boy, I know your are but what am I? Scratch the surface and under that facade of phony self-righteousness you will find a flaming bigot. I learned this back in my college days. My alma mater wasn’t quite a radical sh*thole like Berkley or Columbia, but we had our share of leftist idiotology. These hypocrites would carry on as if they didn’t have a racist bone in their bodies, pretending to be “down for the struggle”. How I wish I had them under surveillance on a typical Sat night of partying. Once the brewskis were flowing and the doobies passed around, that’s when they would “let it all hang out”. In vino veritas indeed!

I was wondering how long it was going to take for people in the media to start labeling anyone opposed to Obama as Racist. I always knew that if Obama lost in November that the MSM will attribute the loss to rampant Racism. i didn’t realize it would start this early in the campaign. Guess I was wrong. I guess I must be a “Racist”.

Maher said. “I just heard him say this the other day — he said this: ‘If people think that there is something wrong with being successful, vote for the other guy.’ First of all, who thinks there is something wrong with being successful?”


Maher is playing dumb (easy, I know).
The whole anti-1% thing is all about attacking people for being successful, blaming them for the ills of the country, as if success creates failures.

Well, apparently you do, Billbo, if it put the bug up your azz.

“The other question I would like to ask is does he think he is more successful than Barack Obama? Do you?"

Has Bobo ever created one, just one private-sector job? I don't think he has, Billbo.

Obama ‘the first black president of the racist states of America’

Obama ‘the first racist president of the states of America’

There that is more accurate.

That’s strange. How could he have gotten elected then?

I guess if we’re racist, then this must be HOW he got ‘elected’....

Absolutely not.....they took care of their own. No need for Uncle Sugar when that happens.

Obama did not overcome "Racism." He & his tutors exploited "reverse racism," to become President.

But Bill Mahrer is the perfect example of someone who keeps opening his mouth to remove all doubt that he is a hate filled idiot.

Oh! If we only still had honest journalism in America!

I would agree with him except Obama ain’t black (unless you consider someone like Wentworth Miller ‘black’) And second, the majority of racists not to mention anti- semites in this country Mr. Mahahahaher are DemoKKKrats starting with our own mulatto POTUS.

What Obama is evading is that this “profoundly distorted view” is not just some passing emotion. It is what Wright himself, in the “talking points” page of his congregation’s Web site, describes as “systematized black liberation theology.” As we noted yesterday, Wright credits James Cone of New York’s Union Theological Seminary with having undertaken this systematization. Here again is Cone’s description of black liberation theology:
Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.
