Hey, Whoopi: It's Not About Skin Color
American Thinker ^ | April 04, 2011 | Monte Kuligowski

Posted on 04/04/2011 8:50:58 AM PDT by matt1

Potential presidential candidate Donald Trump had to negotiate a whole lot of blind emotion as a recent guest on The View. Like Carrie Prejean, The Donald was handed a question he didn't ask for. And his answer also left the asker exasperated.

Joy Behar brought up Trump's recent words about Obama's mysterious childhood and asked him if he was "a birther." Birther is one of those identity words of the left meant to stigmatize opponents into silent fear. But Trump just spoke the language of common sense.

Trump's position essentially is one of "trust but verify," as Reagan used to say. Mr. Trump accepts Obama's claim of a Hawaii birth, but like millions of other Americans, he wonders, "Why doesn't the president show his birth certificate?" That's what Mr. Trump wondered out loud on the program. The Donald also stated the unspeakable but obvious conclusion: Obama is hiding something.

From the article: I have a hard time believing that Ms. Goldberg lacks critical thinking abilities to the point of really believing that people want to see Obama's birth certificate (and other records he has under lock and key) only because of the color of his skin. Because I don't believe that Ms. Goldberg is stupid

Stopped reading there.

Ms. Goldberg’s IQ aside, you should read the rest of the article. I think Hussein is in danger or not being eligible to run for re election in 2012.

They have no other way of arguing.

A conservative states facts X,Y, and Z.
A leftist counters with an expletive or “you’re a racist” and thinks they “won” the argument.

Also, from the article, the author correctly identifies the use of the pejorative “birther” as a “stigmatizing word” used to silence their rhetorical opponent.

They’ll stop doing that when it stops working.

words from a racist black woman..Whoopi Goldberg

“Do not say black and white Americans live in the same world or you will feel the wrath of Whoopi Goldberg. That is what Elisabeth Hasselbeck discovered on the July 17 edition of “The View.” Upon suggesting that, Whoopi reduced Elisabeth to tears. On the news of Jesse Jackson’s use of the “n” word, the conversation quickly developed into the double standard involved between a white and black person’s use of the word. Sherri Shepherd and Whoopi Goldberg admitted there is a double standard, but added there should be. Sherri Shepherd said she uses the word “as a term of endearment,” but said to Barbara Walters “I don’t want to hear it coming out of your mouth.”

Obummer and I have something in common: neither one of us has a Hawaiian birth certificate.

The USSC has been very dumb by not weighing in on arguments. If states begin a process to legislate that candidates for presidential office must submit birth records as the US Constitutuion requires itself, the country is going to end up with an endless docket of lawsuits before, during, and after the next election. The only reason for that mess is because they have refused to do their job, which they are sworn to do.

Well, Whoopi is right - we don't live in the same world. She's always looking for a reason to play the victim. I'm always looking for ways to make my life and the lives of those around me better.

Now, Whoopi, bring on that "wrath" you are so proud of.

“in danger or not being eligible to run for re election in 2012”

If Obama’s finally forced to pretend to obey the law, which ain’t likely, Soros’ people have had plenty of time to forge enough official recordry to fool most of the people most of the time, and the All-Democrat press will declare whatever is revealed to be perfect, with the last laugh on conservatives and constitutionalists.

The thing that is flabbergasting about the dichotomy that you state is that they see our lack of attention to the “race issue”, ie, not recognizing their victimhood or sharing their obsession with race

as proof of our racism.

Oh, but she is. I thought she had a brain too but she proved not to have.

***words from a racist black woman..Whoopi Goldberg***

What can one expect from a person who first used the stage name “Whoppi Cushion”, but later changed it to Goldberg.

She is still a gas bag.

I've thought about that. I have even discussed it with other people. Consider this.

Who would you get to do the job? It would have to be a top notch documents guy. It would cost a lot of money. The stakes in this game are way too high to leave anything to chance. The kicker is that the guy doing the job would have to know that, ultimately, his silence will be bought with a bullet. Nothing else will really suffice. With that knowledge, who would be dumb enough to be involved with this?
