African-American voters see court fight as affront to Obama
Associated Press ^ | Feb 28, 2016 12:03 PM EST | Errin Haines Whack

Watching the fight unfold between President Barack Obama and Senate Republicans over who should choose the next Supreme Court justice, Michael A. Bowden got angry at what he saw at the latest affront to the first black president.

And then his thoughts turned from Washington to his own state.

Obama won't be on the ballot this fall, but Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Pat Toomey will - and Bowden has made defeating him in November a priority. [...]

Democrats are pressuring senators in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire, Illinois and Wisconsin to back down from their refusal to confirm or even consider Obama's nominee to succeed the late Antonin Scalia or face the consequences in November. In some states, they may get help from African-Americans who see the court battle as the latest GOP snub of Obama - one rooted in racism, which could galvanize a crucial component of the Democratic voting bloc. ...

This is so much baloney.

There was an article yesterday where they had surveyed the Americans of African Descent after they took part in the South Carolina caucus.

100% of the Americans of African Descent said that they could believe Hillary Clinton.

Baloney.

They are just repeating the Party Line.

They do not support Hillary Clinton because they think she is trustworthy.

They support Hillary Clinton because they think she will give them something.

This bs from Democrat voters about why they support Hillary is tiring. They don’t believe it and we don’t believe it.

I don’t trust Hillary Clinton. She’s a liar. She lied to broken-hearted family members about why Americans were killed in Benghazi.

And that means that I don’t trust Democrat voters.

They can go ahead and keep lying about why they support their lying Democrat leaders, and I will continue to have nothing but contempt for them.

Attaway Democrat voters! Eat that crust of bread your Democrat leaders throw at you so you’ll continue lying. They’re eating steak and laughing at you.

50% unemployment in major cities in America among young blacks due to the terrible Obama policies.

Hispanics being brought in by the MILLIONS to replace blacks in the low skilled, low education job industry and in terms of political power.

Blacks are being lynched politically by the KKK Democrat party. Yet they vote for Hillary - who was part of increasing the prison population from 800,000 to 3 million.

Liberals are driven mostly by emotion. If they are afraid of it or don’t like it, ban it. Reasons and justifications are irrelevant, just as negative outcomes are irrelevant, if they did it with a good intent.
This is why they overwhelmingly assume disagreement with their views is based on hate. Disagree with illegal immigration, it isn’t because you are for rule of law but hate hispanics. Disagree with welfare due to fraud and abuse, it isn’t reasoned or principle, it is because you hate poor people.
And so we see name calling based on the assumption those who disagree with them only do so out of hate, instead of reasoned debate, just as they call all speech that they disagree with hate speech, silencing debate.

Blacks supporting Obama are bigots. Blacks have suffered more under him than any recent white POTUS? Yet, they support him because he is black.

Seems like it came on extra-strong in 2008.

I was dumbfounded, the conversations I was having with people.

Most of the time, I don’t even try any more. There’s just no point.

It would take very little research to reveal that among all various races in humanity, the American black is the most raciest of all.

They spend all their energy trying to use their race for advantage, not their mind or skills, it’s all about the color of their skin.

Liberals pretend to see everything as an affront. When decent people oppose Hillary, they are called “sexist”. When decent people oppose Barney Frank and Barack Hussein Obama, they are called “homophobic”. When decent people oppose “Rev.” Jackson and Barack Obama, they are called “racist”. Leftist commentators pretend that the common thread is right-wing objections to members of identity groups rather than patriotic objections to big government liberalism.

“African-Americans who see the court battle as the latest GOP snub of Obama - one rooted in racism,”

More successful branding by the MSM.
you can explain how this has nothing to do with Obama’s race but rather his ideology till you’re blue in the face, but the conditioning is deep.
Unless and until Conservatives find a way to withdraw support for a government that rules without their consent, the enslavement will continue.

And 98% couldn’t name The Speaker of The House.....like most Americans. Of course, that very same 98%, would have no problem telling you who got kicked off the Survivor Island.

If they crowned heads of the Republican Party had any common sense they would have withheld comment until Obama had actually nominated someone. But, like the pathetic losers they are, they overplayed their hand early and were left looking foolish.

This is a mantra that started with the Washington Post and New York Times, opinion sheets that call themselves “newspapers”. It is to drum up support and cause concern in the Republican Congress by claiming that there is huge anger I the black community, most of whom probably pay not attention to the Supreme Court and who will vote 95+ percent Democratic in any event.

Barack Obama has appointed two Supreme Court justices, and neither one of them was an "African American" ... and yet it's somehow racist to follow the suggestion of former U.S. Senator and current Vice President Joe Biden regarding the nomination of a Supreme Court justice in an election year?

I think this moron's anger is misdirected.

According to the heads of the plantations they're stuck on, they see everything as an affront to Obama. Another case of the democrat media claiming all black folks say, “Yaasa, massa” whenever the democrat fascist party wants them to.

I guess the AP has its marching orders from Hillary!

Curses! We were going to get away with it till Michael A. Bowden joined the fight.

Someone should tell Mike Bowden that "Arab Muslim" isn't necessarily black...

And that he'd better get his free packs of smokes early in the day on November 8. The Dem machine in Philly usually runs short late in the day...
