Gov. Paul LePage told a group of Republicans last week that President Obama "hates white people," according to two state lawmakers who say they heard the remark directly.

The governor made the comment during a Maine Republican Party fundraiser on Aug. 12 at the home of John and Linda Fortier in Belgrade. According to the invitation, the fundraiser was a "meet and greet" for LePage and first lady Ann LePage, and an opportunity to meet Rick Bennett, the new party chairman.

The lawmakers, both Republicans, confirmed the comment when asked by a Portland Press Herald reporter but asked that their names be withheld for fear of political retribution.

Each said LePage talked about how Obama could have been the best president ever if he had highlighted his biracial heritage. LePage said the president hasn't done that because he hates white people.

Maybe he just dislikes typical white people.

Kanye likes “Fishsticks in his mouth”

All that Obama contributed to those books was some of the historical facts of his life, the perspective and any ideology was an Ayers creation. Heck, Obama is an Ayers creation.

[Jack Hammer]

Not a very controversial statement; the fact couldn’t possibly be more obvious.

[McGruff]

Whites and Christians and those in the military and ...

Everything he does indicates that he is trying to destroy this basically white country. through redistribution of wealth he intends to make white people just as poor as people on welfare

About time someone said it out loud — reminds me of when Kanye West said “George Bush hates black people!”

And the media glorified it for weeks and weeks.

?????????????????????

Really?

What media?

That story sank like a brick.

[nickcarraway]

It’s more like the opposite. It seems like Obama hates black people. Has he done anything to help black people since elected? Deliberately driving up black unemployment doesn’t help?

So what? He just stated the obvious. Anyone who has not figured this out is just too stupid to feed themselves unassisted.

Help blacks? pffftt Obama is raising an army of disgruntled mau maus to terrorize whites. Like his grandpa did in Kenya

[Osage Orange]

Obama hates anyone that he can’t “organize”.

[Revolting cat!]

I’m on the same LePage as Gov. LePage.

[BigEdLB]

In the article, there was a list of 'controversial' remarks made by Gov. LePage, including:

In July last year, he compared the Internal Revenue Service to the Gestapo, the Nazi police.

And? Is this supposed to be controversial, knowing what we know now about the 501-c-4 controversies?

[vaudine]

Certainly Ayers helped create and market the image, but he and Obama are fellow travelers in the agenda dept.

Every appointee is on the same agenda and thought track, so Obama doesn't have to ask for anything to be done. It is done automatically because they are all on the same ivy league thought train.

[Eva]

Obama isn’t smart enough to figure out the agenda, he just goes along and does what he is told. Oh, he knows enough to stay in the background and let others do the work, but he is not a policy maker. Valerie Jarrett is the real king-maker.

[vaudine]

I agree. Obama is lazy and is all too willing to let Valerie, etc. do the work. However, they do what they do because they essentially hate this country and he is certainly on the same page with that--we're bad, sad, and need to be whipped into shape and punished.

The underlying premise is gaining power and they can do that by making govt dependents of the citizens, and causing division and hate.

Bottom line--it is all about power and ordering the masses, while doing what you want to do--like taking multi-million vacatiions every month..
