USA 1860: The democrat party was the party of slavery.
Still is, in 2009.
That is an incomplete and meaningless sentence.
Which doesn't surprise me. Who is "he?"
Do DNC operative trolls with catchy patriotic games alwas post while drunk?
What exactly, is the purpose of this post?
What a bozo.
What a proverbial pantload!!!
Amazing, isn't it???
Barf alert missing?
Can’t Wattree tell that if you lined up all the black people in America in order of their competency to be President, the Bummer would be in the bottom 1 or 2 percent?
Naw, more like 1861.
It’s always amazing to me how the left is so sure how we think. This one thinks we look on this woman as “trailer trash”.
Ummm, it’s the left that loves to look down on whites calling them “rednecks” and “crackers”. They just give themselves aways with garbage like this.
And as for the “black man in the white house” bit, I love to look at their faces when I tell them I probably voted for a black man for president before they did, i.e. Keyes in the primary. And when they start on Keyes, usually some kind of comment like, “Oh, he’s not the right kind of black man. He’s not on the Democrat victimization plantation” sort of sends them nuts.

"While the color of your skin may suggest a common heritage that makes it likely that you can bond as brothers, that’s not always the case–people like Clarence Thomas and Larry Elder immediately comes to mind, in that regard. Therefore, the lesson that must be learned, is your brother is not always the one who looks like you; your true brother, is the one who thinks like you. [Eric L. Wattree, Beneath The Spin, July 21, 2008]
Ditto for Conservatives, Eric. Duh!
Who cares what this looter thinks?
Can't stop with the race card. It's the only thing that works when when the facts are really against you. Did anybody really think this would change?
"The irony of that clip is the fact that, the very Black man that she's complaining about is actually the one who's trying to give her a country that she can call her own..."
Funny..I never saw or heard anyone mention race except the author.
"while the Republican that she's crying to secretly looks upon her, and her kind, as ignorant trailer trash, that's only good for contributing to their wealth and power, pumping out babies that they can grind up in their war machine, and making a fool of herself in their staged videos.
May be true but Obama and this Congress are doing a pretty good job of giving that impression as well.
"The man can barely disguise his disgust as he's looking at her. I find myself making the very same point article after article, but what else can I do when such a large part of the population has been so thoroughly brainwashed that they can't see what's right before their eyes?"
Both parties are for big government control and enslaving the people...who is the brainwashed one again?
"Let me amend that. I think they can see it, but they refuse to recognize a reality that they don't want to accept. Not all, but many of these people know that it's driving them crazy that a Black man is in the White House."
I think you already played that card once. Thank you very much.
"But since it's no longer socially acceptable for them to be blatantly racist, they have to disguise their racist attitudes by couching them in other issues with a wink:
Never saw a person do such intellectual gymnastics to make their point seem reliable before. I'd like some evidence for all this "winking" going on....oh you say you got none? I thought so..you pulled that one right out of your butt.
""It's not that I hate that Black man in the White House, it's just that I hate everything he represents, even if what he represents directly benefits my family."
He's Black...oh my God..America didn't know that when they voted for him..heck, I didn't even know that until you mentioned it three times already. WOW. Yep..all those benefits the Congress and Obama are gonna give us all will be so wonderful, jail time for no healthcare, crappy cars, taxed from cradle to grave, can't ever be successful whether you are black, white, gay, a woman or an alien without someone telling you how to live your life and having half your stash stolen from you. Yea...looking like we will all be movin' on side ways, that's if the government decides it's ok for us to live at all.
"These people are indulging in a classic example of cutting off their nose to spite their face. One might argue that many people were also against health-care reform under President Clinton, and he was White. That is true, but they hated Bill Clinton, liberalism, and the Democratic Party almost as much as they hate Obama, because all three advocated the "slippery slop" that led to Obama."
Who knew Obama was coming along when Clinton was in office? Wasn't Obama in diapers or something then....oh yea, now I know...It's back to "the spooky BLLLAAACCKK man" in office. Four times we get the race card. Isn't there a rule about how many times you can mention this in one article?
"The GOP is very good at marketing, and they mounted a brilliant campaign to demonized the word "liberal" in the political lexicon. During the sixties they mounted a campaign against liberalism by equating it with: the push for civil rights; being "soft on crime"; and, promoting welfare - which was politispeech for coddling Black people."
Well..there you go again..it's was all about race, but now we got so much crime that the liberals say we have to have our guns taken away. Amazing isn't it?
" Then by repeatedly combining these concepts, the word liberal became associated, at least, in the uneducated mind, with "those who coddle Black people, who are criminal, lazy, and want to take your money while they sit on welfare, and take drugs." Through the use of that tactic the GOP successfully turned the word liberal into now, what is essentially, a racial slur."
I was pretty sure liberal moonbats came in all colors but if you say so...you are on a roll..what is that five times now..it's all about race?
I'm done..I know what the rest will say..the sun comes up in the east because teabaggers hate white people and they don't want to tell the government what kind of toilet they have because they hate Black people and they don't want to give up red meat because they hate Black people and they don't want to give up their freedoms and let the Federal government crooks wipe all our butts for us because we hate Black people. Wow, Am I smart or what?
Slippery slop?
At least it took him till like the 2d or 3d sentence to say the word racist. They're improving.
The usual lunacy from the left.
The writer probably does not know that in 1860 the Democrat party was the slavery party, or that Lincoln was a Republican, or that Republicans passed the civil rights acts of the 1960s. In 1960, much of the Democrat party was still segregationist. The governors who stood in school doorways were Democrats.
The writer is hallucinating in attempting to attribute objections of Barack Obama (and Nancy Pelosi, and all the other fringey left wingers) as some sort of poorly disguised loathing for a black president. James Carville wrote about this at length a few weeks ago, and HE AGREED that racism had NOTHING to do with the distaste for Obama’s politicies, and that attempting to attribute rejection of such policies to racism would ultimately fail and ill-serve the left. Obama’s melanin has something to do with his parentage, no more; I have never heard anyone on the right trash him for his color. Nobody much cares—what really sets them off is his ineptitude, such as bowing to the Saudi king or the emperor of Japan, embarrassing all of us, since he represents all Americans.
The assumption that everybody on the right is a collection of inbred types without teeth, intelligence or education is belied by the numbers of conservative books which have become bestsellers. Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny has sold 1.5 million copies, and is in fact a densely written treatise about the constitution and its abuse, not exactly light reading.
Far from demonizing the word “liberal”, many Conservatives recognize that they are “classic liberals”, and that contemporary so-called liberal progressives are controlling statists who would gladly micromanage the life of everyone. Most Conservatives also understand enough history and economics to know that 1) Herbert Hoover, not FDR started the massive federal make-work projects and 2) FDR’s massive programs did not end the Great Depression—WW2 did.
You don’t come by these attitudes sitting around drooling in the evening, or going to family gatherings to meet girls, and you don’t crack open Liberty and Tyranny without a fair amount of high-functioning grey matter.
If anybody is looking down on the people who vote for them, it is the progressives who convince otherwise healthy, unhandicapped people that they cannot do anything for themselves and need government assistance to live. It’s a patronizing attitude.
Most presidents have known that the private sector creates the most jobs, the most good-paying jobs, the most jobs worth having, and that the way to have those jobs expand is to have conditions favorable for business and business expansion. Tax cuts are good start—JFK knew this. Progressives have no understanding of this, and are shocked when ever-rising taxes strangle business and job creation.
The world isn’t about to end because of Obama’s melanin, but because of his 1) utter lack of understanding about economics or 2) his intentional destruction of the private sector into order to build a hive society from the ground up. And yes, I recognize George Bush shares some of the blame, but Obama, Pelosi, et alia are hell-bent to running the country into the ground—read up on something called the Cloward-Piven strategy.
Without the “race card” there is no modern left. They themselves are racist to the core, ginned up racial hate, the kind that ought get them a crimes against humanity trial.
