Southern Shockwave: Mary Landrieu Blames Obama's Unpopularity on Racism
Breitbart Big Government ^ | October 31, 2014 | Wynton Hall

Posted on 10/31/2014 2:39:56 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

In comments sure to cascade into regional races across the South, embattled Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) told NBC's Chuck Todd on Thursday that Southern racism is to blame for President Barack Obama's unpopularity.

"Why does President Obama have a hard time in Louisiana?" asked Todd.

“Let me be very, very honest with you," said Landrieu. "The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans. It's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader."

Landrieu added: “It has not always been a good place for women, to be able to present ourselves. It’s more of a conservative place. So we’ve had to work a little bit harder on that. But, you know, the people trust me, I believe. Really, they do.”

Translation: “The people who have been putting me into statewide office at some level or another since 1988 are racist bigots!”

I’ve figured it out...

This person was elected to the La House of Rep twice, elected State Treasurer twice, and U.S. Senate three times...and people in the La and the South have problems with women?!

Obviously she must be a transsexual.

Wasn’t he “black” when he was elected?

The part most people are upset about, for the most part isn’t the black part (even if it is a racial-agitator part), it’s the white communist part that wrecks what it touches

That's it. It's over for Mary.

As we around here know, racism ain't the problem, the race card is.

She just whupped out her short sword and committed ritual seppuku so far as the typical white working-class Democrat voter who might otherwise vote for her is concerned.

She just lost enough votes that she might as well just go get herself a vendor cart and earn an honest living selling gumbo and rice.

And beignets and chicory coffee.

It’s always “they.” Who is this “they?”

Dear Gaffer,

As you wrote:
“She got where she is because of the name, and at the time she was good looking. Still has the name that, as time goes by, becomes less and less important.

Doesn’t have the looks anymore. Frankly, she reminds me of a Democrat party chew toy that has had to do, and put up with and support all manner of Dem actions that have ended up hurting her constituents.”

‘Jus’ ‘member, mah man! She dah blond from dah chawklit ci-tee, so’s d’er allays sump’in’ she done do ... P.A.W.G.!’

Wow, if she's so ashamed of her fellow Southerners, she should resign. The whole race and gender discussion from her now is designed to explain why she's going to lose. By claiming only racists and male chauvinists oppose her, she shows that she's got no answer except for red herrings and obfuscations. We opposed Fabian socialism before we had a black president. We opposed it because it's not the right answer for America.

How does this tool explain Obama’s unpopularity across other areas of the country? Could it be, could it possibly be, his pathetic, anti-American agenda? His relentless lying? His total incompetence?

Yeah, like his 39% approval rating in New Hampshire.

I would agree and I think any black person who is a responsible citizen is far better off anywhere in South Carolina than in South Chicago.

Responsible citizens in South Carolina are lauded.
Responsible citizens in South Chicago are attacked - physically.

I can see your point, but you must also remember that the Democrat Poweratti take great pleasure in trumpeting the awesome hotness of some of their female members.

Sadly, she no longer fits in this category, and the added benefit of the trumpeting by Reid, et al and the media would bring laughs and derision from those outside the group predisposed to large women with big butts.

“Landrieu, still trying to keep those African Americans on the plantation...”

I’m glad you called them “African-Americans” because they are certainly not “American-Americans.”

I believe they want to take our culture back to living in grass huts kept together with cow dung while eating bats and monkeys for dinner.

They certainly have no intention in conforming with the social manners, laws and customs of real Americans.
