You would think liberals would get bored looking for coded racism. Since they can find it absolutely anywhere, it must be like shooting fish in a barrel. But then, so is making fun of moonbats like Timothy Noah, who declares that it's racist to notice how scrawny Obama is.
Noah denounces a WSJ piece proposing that Obama's skinniness could be a liability. His keen insight has discerned that by skinniness, they really meant mulatto-ness.
[A]ny discussion of Obama's "skinniness" and its impact on the typical American voter can't avoid being interpreted as a coded discussion of race.
In the interests of full disclosure, Noah hilariously admits:
I phoned my former Journal colleague, Michel Martin, an African-American journalist who is now host of NPR's Tell Me More, which frequently addresses matters of race, to ask whether she was offended. She was not.
Apparently not even blacks who make a living off taxpayer-financed moonbattery can compete with Noah when it comes to sniffing out imaginary racism. He explains his theory:
When white people are invited to think about Obama's physical appearance, the principal attribute they're likely to dwell on is his dark skin. Consequently, any reference to Obama's other physical attributes can't help coming off as a coy walk around the barn.
In other words, noticing anything whatsoever about Obama is racist. The Obamessiah is so sacred that even naming his characteristics is blasphemous. We've also heard that mentioning his middle name is racist. But his last name also recalls an mortal enemy of America who tellingly is not an Anglo-Saxon. It might be safest to refer to Obama from now on as He Who Cannot Be Named or Described but Only Abjectly Venerated.
RULE #1--Obama can say anything he wants,,,,,anytime,,,,anywhere. He can place the 'race card' in any manner he desires,,,he can deal the race card from the bottom of the deck,,,or blatantly claim racism at any perceived criticism of him.
RULE #2--Anyone that dares to question RULE #1 is, by definition, a racist!!!
The sooner that everyone understands the "RULES", the easier it will be for everyone.
OH MY GOD! YOU SAID A RACIST WORD.
Can you imagine this POS in the WH and no one able to speak ill of him, crap, even speak of him, least they be accused of racism/hate speech, and whatever else they will come up with?
Can you imagine America with no citizens voices?
This cannot stand!
He ain’t half black, he’s 6.5% black.
Not me. I imagine his undersized baseball head.
What do you expect. The man is without a doubt the single most unqualified major party candidate for president this country has ever seen. He has nothing of substance to offer. The one thing he had going for him was his oratory skill - or rather his skills at reading words off of a teleprompter - but once people started to realize that his words are either meaningless or extremist he had to find another campaign strategy. He has apparently chosen the strategy of directly, or indirectly via his minions in the media, making himself above criticism via cries of racism towards anyone who does not support him.
The only question now is how the people will react to this shameful display. I suspect that it will turn off a vast majority of undecided voters and even some democrats. The thing that worries me though is that I don’t think it is out of the realm of possibility that this man and his supporters will incite and encourage race riots either as a means of intimidation prior to the election or as a way to lash out following his defeat. Interesting, and potentially dangerous, times ahead.
I think about those doofy ears!
Cheers!
Those ears make his head look even smaller, don’t they.
As a precocious tyke he was starved by his evil white owners.....

I’ll pour myself a jigger and scratch my chiggers and polish my triggers while I snigger at Obama’s niggardly behavior. ;)
I’ve seen AIDS patients with more fat on them than B. Hussein has.
Not only is Obama scrawny, but I bet he sticks his pinkie finger in the air when he drinks from a teacup too.
The reason he is skinny is probably because he hasn’t actually quit smoking. Once he balloons up like all the rest of us who have quit, I will believe he has.
A few months ago he admitted he was still smoking now and then.
Don’t you remember the story that he released that he can pump 70lb dumb bells?
