There are uncountable important and serious reasons to despise Barack Obama. The color of his skin isn’t one of them.

It is his criminal behavior and obvious hate for America, Americans and our culture that head the list - not the color of his skin.

Accusations of racism directed at Obama critics are just an attempt to write off legitimate criticism and serious concerns as racism.

The only legitimate racism related to Obama is his own arrogant, blatant racism against whites - something he doesn’t even try to hide.

I wonder what Berry's great grandpa would think of Barack Obama?

“What’s all this?” said The Conservative, feeling inclined to laugh.

“This is what it is, Mr. Conservative,” said the leader of the Minions, a two-feather Minion named Wendell Berry: “You’re arrested for Gate-breaking, and Tearing up of Rules, and Assaulting Gate-keepers, and Trespassing, and Sleeping in Gruberment-buildings without Leave, and Bribing Guards with Food.”

“And what else?” said The Conservative.

“That’ll do to go on with,” said the Minion-leader.

“I can add some more, if you’d like it,” said The Conservative. “Calling your Chief Names, Wishing to punch his Pimply Face, and Thinking you Minions look a lot of Tom-fools”

Has anyone figured out why Wendell Berry’s breath smells like Obama’s @ss?

I bet anything that this racist would the first to denigrate a president Carson.

Oh, please! If Obama were not half black he’d be pure white trash.

He'd have his white hood on, and would be channelling "Sheets" Byrd in a microsecond...

The resistance to Obama is not because of what he is. It is because of what he does. Even his own party is rejecting him.

My total contempt for Obama has absolutely nothing to do with his race, but HIS total contempt for the rule of law and the Constitution of the United States.

I can not refer to the government he’s assembled as an “administration,” but as a “regime,” that seems to have its basis in distopian literature. Something between Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” as well as “1984,” add in some Rand from “Altas Shrugged,” with a heaping helping of “Lord of the Flies.”

We have what is the most corrupt group if sociopaths in charge of the government, it’s truly frightening.

There is no boundary, rule, or law they won’t violate in order to gain control over America and the populace, ruling every aspect of our lives.

The extremists are very fortunate the current president identifies as a black guy. Otherwise, the singularly least prepared and least qualified person to stand for the office in ten generations might have had to stand on his record, rather than being protected by his skin color, when running for office. Since his election, all of his defenders have remarked on his skin color as reasons why he opposed on his policies. His defenders don’t seem to expect much in the way of competence from black politicians.

The color of Obamatollah’s skin has nothing to do with why a good many Americans find him reprehensible; on the other hand, it DOES factor into why he has been fomenting racial division & unrest to the point of violence among the American people in the last 6 plus years.

Sorry, Berry - but those who believe in Liberty object to Obama because of “the content of his character” not the color of his skin.

The true irony is the neo-racist (Wendell Berry) who wrote this piece is the actual racist in this case because he is looking at the color of the skin of the Obama dissenters and then claiming their dislike for Obama is due to their “racism” - without Berry even knowing these people.

Oh and what about Ben Carson’s dislike for Obama?

I like the meme a lot. But I just can’t bring myself to share memes with bad punctuation, spelling, and grammar—and that’s a lot of them.

Let’s hope the Race card gets beat by the Trump card...

He looks like Lee Harvey Oswald.

And he makes about as much sense as the guy afraid Guam would tip over and capsize with too many people.

Hmmmm, in my case, at least, I do not hate Dorkbama the Muslim because he happens to be black.

I hate him because:
1. He is an inexperienced untalented amateur at ALL things he does.
2. Hs has no morals.
3. He has no intelligence.
4. He has no background that is believable.
5. He is a threat to my country
6. And, he is partial to the worst religion in the multiverse.

Other than that, I fully respect that toe cheese eating slime mold POS worthless human debris.

Option 1: Conservatives are racists. Even though 70% of Americans supported Obama after the 2008 election? Even though the same people who despise Obama support Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Dr. Ben Carson, Herman Cain, Thomas Sowell, Mia Love, and Walter Williams? They hate Obama for being black, but they didn’t notice his skin color until he started governing like an evil, America-hating petty tyrant? Conservatives are also homophobes who only objected to Barney Frank because he’s gay, and sexists who only object to Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren they are female (well, Elizabeth and Nancy are female, and Hillary at least presents herself as female, which is what counts).

Option 2: Conservative criticism of Obama is based on his shocking opposition to the rule of law and his overall level of evil.

Wendell Berry went with Option 1 because that is the official Democrat Party meme.

But the paramount fact of this moment in the history of racism is that you don't have to denominate the president by a recognized racial slur when his very name can be used as a synonym.

What does the birf certificate say next to Race?
