Say anything that isn’t a complement about Obama and it will painted as Racist by his people. He must grow a thicker skin. Its getting a bit silly. Charges of racism grow stale when used too much.
How many people are voting for Hussein because he's black?
How many would be supporting him with this messianic cult following if he were white?
I'm not, not voting for him because he's black but because he's a dyed-in-the-wool communist.
But guess what. If people don't want to vote for him because he's black and their are racist bigots (like Whoopi Goldberg who railed against the “white man in the White House,” which is, I suppose, the PC and acceptable bigotry), they have that right. For a while. Until the commie gets in and pushes even more radically, anti-civil-liberties legislation than his predecessors in the Democrat party have pushed.
Thin is the new black.
Don’t forget that our troops are racists because they called skinny Somalis, “Skinnys” back during the Clinton Occupation.
How about a monkey.. No, to obvious.. Heck maybe we could just call him “them people”.
/s
Obama, and his wife who would be First Lady were he elected, are racists. I will never, ever vote for a racist.
He is also an anti-semite and she most likely is as well, given the “church” that she chose. I will never, ever vote for an anti-semite.
Then there is the Marxist, pro-terrorist thing. I mean this is just now working out for me. NoBama.
I would think a lot of people are waking up to this one-trick pony. Oooh! Was that racist?
“Fully 66 percent of all citizens who’ve reached voting age are overweight, and 32 percent are obese.”
This is exaggerated.
I guess him being so darn skinny sort of puts the damper on fried chicken jokes...oops, was that racist?
How about his followers simply responding to reasoned criticisms of his many and varied policy positions? How about that for a change, rather than immediately assuming that any criticism is code for something else?
Racialism is a Democrat thing. We’re Repubs; we’re interested in figuring out which one of his many positions is his real position. We want to know if he’s changed his position on drilling again, or again, and which way it all fell out in the end. We want to know, since we’ve won in Iraq, if he’s going to apologize and give it all back. Maybe he can invite Saddam’s daughters to come home from Syria and present to them the keys to some of his palaces with some kind of compensation.
We want to know if he’s really going to invade Pakistan, or withdraw from Afghanistan, or something in between. We want to know if he even knows what he’s going to do.
We want to know how he managed to get this far in life with absolutely nothing to put on his resume. We want to know who is funding his campaign, and why our enemies think he’s the better bargain come election season.
I never once mentioned the fact that he’s not particularly patriotic. Thats sort of a non-issue, considering who his backers are.
Just like not recognizing that 'black hole' could be racist is, well, just a wee bit clueless?
It doesn't matter what you intended when you say anything whatsoever - what matters is what any passerby over hearing you thinks you meant.
Don't tell a female employee she 'looks nice today' - you'll get booted for sexual harassment even if all you really meant was she 'looked nice that day.'
PC is ruining this country just as surely as it has ruined the once "Great" Britain.
Never trust a skinny cook (except Giada).
Mr. Noah I believe you are not just clueless but you are also ridiculous. If you can not recognize that the politically correct portion of this population is taking advantage of everyone else, you are more than clueless you are hopeless. We can not walk around this nation and wonder if because someone said skinny or used the word black (ie.black hole, in the black,etc) and worry if we hurt someones feelings. People like you are making it very hard for people who truly face race discrimination. Take a long hard look at how stupid saying that calling a skinny man skinny is racial. Get a life and stop traveling on the same road as people like jackson, sharpton and the rest of that group of racist pigs. It's simple if you are tall and skinny you can be called.
Is it safe to mention he looves round ball?
So Fat Albert and Pigmeat and Rerun and Barry White and Sir Mix A Lot and Biggie Smalls and the Fat Boys etc were the EXCEPTION???
This whole thing is just getting ridiculous.
Barack Obama is becoming a first in presidential history. He is becoming the first perpetually offended candidate.
A Slate colleague informs me that an episode of the TV sitcom Happy Days ("Fonzie's New Friend") had its 1950s-era characters nervously discussing the fact that a black man in their midst was so … skinny. Was it true that skinny people liked fried chicken? That they were good at basketball? And so on.
Of course, my original take on the article was the implication that Americans were too fat to vote for Obama.
I guess you can never be sure about anything political, but I have a feeling that Obama supporters claiming to find a subtle and evil racial subtext in everything and everything (Bob Herbert with celebrity, this absurdity about skinniness...) will backfire badly. When you combine it with the man himself and his stupid “I don’t look like others on the money” comments, rational people can’t help but laugh, and conclude they don’t need four years of this.
“he’s a thinner. And we should dress up as ghosts, erect a big lower case ‘t’ on his lawn, and set fire to it to show we don’t like him”
