It’s also not racist to say, “Please, Eugene, shut up!”

[fightinJAG]

Tea Party to Eugene Robinson: Is that all you got?

[MHGinTN]

Every time, without exception, that I rasie the issue of democrat vote fraud, the liberal response is ‘both parties do it’ or ‘they have to cheat some to counter the Republ;ican cheating’. It never occurs to these things void of a moral compass that ALL cheating must be stopped.

[SpaceBar]

The most fertile ground the seeds of marxism/communism has landed on in the last fourty plus years is the mind of the American negro. As a demographic group, they have lapped up and embraced the lies to the point that “black culture” is virtually indistinguishable from the socialist ideals they’ve been literally immersed in since the sixties.

[montag813]

And we despise Nancy Pelosi because of...SEXISM? When will PMS’ token Black finally shut up.

[chris_bdba]

Dear Mr Robinson, It isn’t about his skin color it is about his polices and his incompetence.It’s too bad you yourself can’t see past his skin color to realize this.

[alecqss]

Marxist became the President - that is actually why. Being black has nothing to do with it notwithstanding how much Mr. Robinson wants it to be.

[seowulf]

The first black president, a momentous event in American history and he f’d it up!

And there are so many good, honorable, competent men who happen to be black, to whom that distinction could have gone.

It is sad, an opportunity wasted.

[fightinJAG]

Robinson starts out by saying there’s no evidence the Tea Party movement is racist, then he says it’s racist anyway.

[Interesting Times]

Evidently Obama wasn’t black when he was elected.

[Jim Noble]

Well, if Mr. Robinson were correct, it would mean that Obama is incompetent and hates America because he is (half) black.

Is that what Mr. Robinson is saying?

[Wyatt's Torch]

I was unaware that “radical Marxist” was a race...

[usacon]

I can explain it; He lied!

[fightinJAG]

One thing the Obama administration has accomplished is making us LESS sensitive to the fraudulent use of the race card.

We know and knew we were not racists, nor are we a racist nation. Now we hardly care when some joker tries to say that we are. ((raspberries))

This is a great development!

[ssaftler]

Why is it that the people screaming “Racism” or “Sexism” or “anti-something-ISM” are usually the people who are the biggest purveyors of such discrimination?

Seems to me that the biggest “racist” in the O-Bambi vs. the Right argument is the former.

[Rocky]

The race card is dead. People are talking about things that really matter, like jobs and the economy, and the national debt. Everyone who has made a living playing the race card is now officially out of work.

[Dahoser]

The first African-American president takes office, and almost immediately we see the birth of a big, passionate national movement — overwhelmingly white and lavishly funded — that tries its best to delegitimize that president, seeks to thwart his every initiative and manages to bring the discredited and moribund opposition party roaring back to life. Coincidence?

None. We also hated this SOB from the moment he took office and he's as white as they come, so you can stick your racist BS.

[Gritty]

Having ears like Dumbo and being a Communist has nothing to do with race.

Besides, Dear Reader is 1/2 white.

[MamaTexan]

and difficult to explain without asking whether race is playing a role.

Since Zero doesn't meet the 60% requirement for being considered legally 'black', it's very easy to explain how race doesn't play a role.

[BunnySlippers]

Amen.
