SO OBAMA IS A LYING, RACE-BAITING DEMAGOGUE: DOES ANYONE EVEN CARE?
Powerline ^ | 10/03/2012 | John Hindraker

Posted on 10/03/2012 11:20:22 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The video that debuted on the Daily Caller and the Sean Hannity show last night establishes that Barack Obama is a lying (see Paul’s post from last night), race-baiting (see the video) demagogue. Will it matter?

Reporters tweeted up a storm last night, assuring us that there is nothing new in the video and suggesting that it was disreputable to play it. One Josh Barro of Bloomberg News tweeted:

@JBarro: I don’t get how you can work somewhere like Breitbart or Drudge and not feel like you’re doing something pathetic with your life.

Hey, Ma’am, I’m just another objective journalist, reporting the facts!

Seriously, though: will the video have any political impact? Another way of asking that question is, will anyone be surprised by it? I think the answer is no. Whatever image Obama once had as a uniter, a purple-stater, a “one America” candidate, an African-American politician who was somehow different from Al Sharpton and Maxine Waters, is long gone. Over the last four years we have seen a petty, vindictive, frequently dishonest, and often shameless politician in the White House. The video shows that Obama will lie, race-bait and adopt a fake accent for votes. Really? All of that, on top of being a lousy president?

So, no: in political terms, I think the video is a non-event. But what, you might ask, about Obama’s alleged likability? Surely people who watch the video will no longer consider him likable. Well, that’s true. But my guess is that the number of voters who thought Obama was likable before last night is not much greater than the number who think he knows jack about the economy. There are two kinds of Obama voters: those who are locked in by an ossified left-wing ideology and are long past the point of being able to admit that history has proved them wrong, and those who have skin in the game–i.e., money. When you spend $3.8 trillion a year, you can buy a lot of votes. And you don’t have to be likable. Or honest.

So don’t expect the video to have any discernible impact on voters.

PAUL ADDS: I see this somewhat differently. In my view, the voters Obama needs to make it to the finish line are neither left-wing idelogues nor folks who rely on federal handouts. If these voters were to view key portions of the video, many would be less inclined to vote for Obama. But it’s likely that few of the voters in quesion will view the video.

He’s using a stolen birth certificate, stolen social security number and proven forged selective service card. Telling the truth could get him in trouble.

This is a major yawn. Zero’s constituents are all lying, race baiting, America hating hypocrites. They would seriously vote for even Joseph Stalin if Stalin had the ‘D’ behind his name.

Does anyone care that President Obama is a lying, race-baiting demagogue? Apparently not, but that's the advantage of having a base of illiterates, socialists, and brainwashed kids.

I do but this is the only president that his record apparently doesn’t matter. That is how he got elected. Obama is a joke and 53% of us have to pay for him. He needs to be fired. I am fed up with him.

So then just shut down your blog, Powerline.

You obviously know what the hell I should “care” about.

just because the MSM doesn’t cover it, don’t mean it’s going unnoticed.

Well Obama is a everything we all thought he was which is a race-baiting anti-American. Whether he is socialist, fascist, anti-Colonialist, black liberationist, Muslim and a radical Muslim sympathizer, or a far left progressive statist; he is dangerous.

more propaganda - telling his supporters/voters nothing will change their mind. So now they know how to think/what to do.

Unfortunately slightly less than half of the USA cares.

We have gone beyond the tipping point where killing babies, living off the productivity of others, race, deviant sex, drugs are now all more important than the future of the USA.

There are so many enemies within that those of use who still believe in the brilliance of the founders are fast becoming a minority and a minority which has less than zero protection.

“...But it’s likely that few of the voters in quesion will view the video.”

Could it be because our side isn’t even trying to play it?

Isnt this the same crew bitching about Romney “pulling punches”?

“Well people already know Obama is a race-baiting....”

Who the hell cares what Obama’s base already knows!? Play the damn tape anyway!

Many many people care, but the majority of voters have their head up their a$$ and their finger up their nose.

“just because the MSM doesn’t cover it, don’t mean it’s going unnoticed.”

Ditto FRiend.

This video is proof and verification that Buckwheat is a racist for those dense voters who find it hard to believe that we have a president who is filled with leftist hate. The video is a game-changer.

Liberal Democrats benefit uniquely from having long since abandoned all traditional standards of virtue. Instead, virtue becomes a weapon to be wielded only against their opponents.

Because their highest common value is not public morality but political power, Progressives are most often insulated from the consequences of their own behavior, while Republicans and conservatives are held to a standard of perfection, their own virtue thus perversely employed against them.

I don't think any of this comes as a surprise to anyone at this forum,but daily I meet people who literally have no idea of the "real" Hussein 0bama, aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Dunham, aka Indonesian Manchurian Candidate, aka kenyan tribal boss, aka chi-town street punk ....

voted “Nay” to directing federal funds to Katrina victims in Louisana ..

Yep yep, where was obuma after BP’s oil? Carville begged him to come down here (LA) and do something for months. He finally showed up for photo-ops. The bullet is still in the baby the gulf still has oil covering the bottom it washes up everytime there’s a storm. Obuma doesn’t care about Louisiana.

Guilt ridden Americans thought they were voting for the really smart Black Man from TV’s 24.

What they got was a “Three Card Monte” dealer from Chicago.
