Was Nader right on Obama? Ping to Today show list.
I do not like Ralph Nader.
But this little “flare-up” just PROVES that if you are a white person then no matter what you say about B. Hussein, unless it is fawning praise, you will be called racist.
Infra Dig: adj. - Beneath one's dignity.
Hussein’s not from da ‘hood. So?
I thought it was "Why you gotta go there, bro?"
Is there anyone on Planet America who hasn't been around blacks who "talk white" at work or in a social circle, but turn right around and "talk black" to a fellow black?
Oh, puleeze, and groan....Conversely, I've been around blacks and whites who speak the same to everyone, regardless of skin color.
It's been so obvious that Michelle employs the dialectics of "race" depending upon what audience she's seeking support from. And so, as they share the marital bed, Obama and Michelle, which dialectic do they use at home?
It's a fair question.
Nader didn’t say anything the Los Angeles Times wasn’t discussing in the “Barak, the Magic Negro” editorial. This is the one that some tried to pin on Limbaugh instead of its actual source.

I don’t think Obama has much “street creds”. Face it, he was raised white in white or Asian schools all his life. If, in fact, his father was actually 7/8 Arab and 1/8 negro, Arabs being a flavor of “causian” would make him 15/16 “causian” and 1/16 “negro”. (The real reason his birth certificate is “TOP SECRET”?)
Personally, I’m more or less indifferent to a person’s race, but since Obama is running on persona more than positions, I suppose it would make more of a difference to his supporters than his detractors. I find his politics dangerous when not vacuous, but he seems to have a decent enough character, unlike many Democratic politians I could name < cough> < Clintons>.
This is why I’ll only watch the show if Scarborough is on. He won’t just parrot the Dem talking points like the rest do. He actually puts some thought into his comments and opinions.
I really don’t get what this is all about.
Joe Biden said Obama was “articulate”, which is codespeak for a black person who speaks English properly. So that was supposed to be a compliment-a good thing, right?
Then Nader criticizes Obama for being “articulate” because he views it as not authentic.
From what I’ve heard and read, when black people speak English properly, they are scorned by their peers because it’s “acting white”. Black school children who do well in school are scorned because getting good grades is “acting white”.
So is it a good thing or bad thing if you say Obama speaks English well? This is getting ridiculous.
The Three Stooges.
Obama speaks the Kings English... and he doesn't have to fake it. He was raised by... and surrounded by white, Hawaiian, Kenyan and Indonesian people in his youth who also spoke it well. There was no Ebonics influence in BO's upbringing.
IMO, Nader meant that “talks white” referred to Obama's reaching out to the guilt-ridden, socialist-leaning white voters... and the leftist DBM has taken Nader's poor analogy and has spun it in typical, race-card fashion.
However... it's funny to see a Marxist being eaten alive by a rabidly, socialist press!
Nader is an idiot. Obama trying to speak "ghetto style" would turn black voters off. This is the MSM way of saying, "Obama has a street side.... he just talks white to get ahead..... but he's actually more like Will Smith and not like this guy":
Well, sorry folks...... Obama is "Carlton", NOT "The Fresh Prince".
Later in the show, comedian Richard Belzer came on to tout a pet adoption project, Paws-i-dential Year, tied to the political season. He brought along Bebe, a stray dog he had adopted. Mika was cuddling the cur, when things suddenly went very wrong. What's worse, Joe pledged to reward the little culprit with some steak for the outrage he committed. Hat tip Blonde. I recall on one videos of him and Jeremiah Wright, where Obama is saying, “Where he at?”, trying to get Wright to stand for recognition.
I don’t think Obama is trying to “sound white” to avoid sounding like Jesse Jackson; however, if he had looked like Al Sharpton and sounded like Jesse Jackson, he would NEVER have gotten any farther than either of those guys have. Since Obama is just as racist and manipulative as either Jesse or Al and at least as left wing as other Democrats, the reason for his popularity has to lie in the differences. The left-wingism makes no difference to folks who, politically, are not astute. Appearances, however, do make a lot of difference to this class of people. To know this, just ask yourself the question: Would they buy a package of underwear featuring a picture of Barack or a picture of Al Sharpton modeling it?
