Jackie Robinson was a Republican.

Big difference...Jackie Robinson was a great baseball player and Obama throws like a girl.

Branch Rickey told Jackie Robinson of the lies, taunts and harangues he would receive, and that he had to ignore it and play through it, not let them break him.

Obama uses every opportunity to characterize bad policy and unrelated political events as having racial undertones.

Jackie Robinson was Jackie Robinson. When I was a kid, I really admired him. Because he was admirable. A great player, a great guy.

Obama is more like Jessie Jackson. But a whole lot worse. There is absolutely nothing admirable about Obama in any way, shape, or form.

On one hand, there is Chris Matthews, who said during the State of the Union that for an hour he forgot Obama was black. That means the rest of the time he views Obama it never leaves his mind. He is a racist who consciously wants to be against racism.

These were my thoughts when I first read that Matthews said this. He is didn't see a person, he saw only a "black" man except when Obama made his speech.

If Jackie Robinson called his fans "bitter clingers" who "acted stupidly" he wouldn't have made it in the big leagues.

If Jackie Robinson had mugged everyone in the stadium and gave the spoils to his friends, he wouldn't have made it.

If Jackie Robinson spent the entire game bowing and scraping to members of the other team, he wouldn't have made it.

If Jackie Robinson had screwed up every play he was involved in, then blamed it on the player he replaced every time, he wouldn't have made it.

I'm not old enough to have known Jackie Robinson, but trust me, Obama - you ain't him.

I would vote for a black conservative over a white leftist without batting an eye every single time.

I know Jackie Robinson, and.....I know the “Boys of Summer”, the Brooklyn Dodgers!!! There is a tremendous difference between Jackie Robinson and POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!! What is it? Mr. Robinson was an American and....Mr. Obama is not!!! It is as simple as the nose on your face!!! And....I am not talking about some silly birth certificate. I am talking about two men, one who loved America and his race with his whole heart & soul. And one who wants naught but to tear this great nation down!!! End of story!!!

Good piece. I think it’s hit the nail on the head. They try to have it both ways though. The left happily attacks Allen West, a black Republican candidate, as a Tea Party Extremist. I don’t want to know how the left maintains itself against incredible double mindedness. Most of us would try to resolve the cognitive dissonance.

The humorous part is, Baraq isn’t even half black.
