Is eligibility question 'racist'?
WND ^ | NOVEMBER 6, 2010 | Joseph Farah

Criticize Barack Obama in any way and you might be labeled a racist by someone.

Question his constitutional eligibility and it is a certainty.

In fact, though some 58 percent of Americans do question his eligibility, according to the latest CNN poll, the self-described "African-American magazine" Africana Online recently published a piece making the extraordinary claim that anyone doing so is guilty of "backdoor racism."

Why? How?

Here's the cogent explanation: "Asking for Obama's birth certificate is a form of racism. Did anyone demand McCain's? He was born in Panama. Why was Obama's birth certificate so important? Because he was black, perhaps? No Tea Partier would admit that to be true, but I can't think of any other reason why the birther theory grew."

Maybe I can enlighten the author and the publisher.

No, it isn’t racists at all. It’s smart.

One must remember that during the Presidential Election, the Democrats (including OBAMA), questioned the ‘eligibility’ of John McCain on the very same issue.

IIRC McCain has had to prove his citizenship in the past.

It is racist to ignore the Constitution for this bastard just because of his race! In fact, it’s Anti-American racism. But then what can we expect from Democrats?

Of course it is.

Anything that impedes collectivism is racist.

John McCain made a long-form birth certificate public, complete with name of hospital and attending physician’s signature.

Not racist, but pointless now. No court is going to remove a sitting president two years in to a four year term. The constitutional definition of eligibilty needs to be addressed though.

There are plenty of civil rights laws in existence.

So, why aren't there any civil rights lawsuits, or legal complaints if questioning the eligibility for the presidency is "racist".

Trying to compare obama to John McCain - at least on birthright issues - is apples and oranges. McCain's Father was a U.S. military man stationed in Panama, his wife was there.

With obama, no one knows WHERE he was born, but we do know his father wasn't a citizen and his mother was a minor who did not meet residency requirements...EVEN IF HE WAS PHYSICALLY born in Hawaii (which I doubt).

But I want them to file charges of racism using John McCain as standing - then we want "discovery" to open all of obama's records.

Winner get a nationwide apology from their opponent, and a resignation if they are not eligible.

Whatever issue you criticize him for they call you a racist.

No, because we didn't have to, he's not hiding it as hussein obama (if that's his real name) is.

,,,the self-described "African-American magazine" Africana Online recently published a piece making the extraordinary claim that anyone doing so is guilty of "backdoor racism."

But having a magazine just for "African-Americans" isn't racist at all. No sir! Would it be "racist" to have a magazine just for whites? You betcha!

Let's face it, if you're white, conservative, and/or at all critical of this president, they're calling to call you a "racist." It's time for that word to lose its sting. Stop groveling and begging at the sound of that word. Just LAUGH when they call you that, or turn it right around on them!

Did anyone demand McCain's?

Yes, as a matter of fact.

All rules were followed, including going through the court. Rules that pelosi shoved aside and rewrote for the O - maybe that's why she'd so driven to remain in control of whatever she can...to keep certain things under the rug.

Those actions should be in the list of investigations of the new Congress.

These people thought they had their power locked up for decades and so were callous.

Maybe not, but the truth still needs to come to light.

The only racist are the ones who give him a pass and blame others by saying it’s about color. They are all worthless < cuss words >.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers writ large. Think aliens screaming every time they see a normal human being. We allow them to seize power, control speech, culture, mores, we let them steal the country. It’s obviously ridiculous...right. Never happen. Go back to sleep, America.
