(Newser) – When Sarah Palin told Tea Party activists last week that President Obama was "a professor of law standing at the lectern," she wasn't just tapping into populist anti-intellectualism—she was also making a not-so-subtle attack on the president's race. So says Harvard professor and longtime Obama pal Charles Ogletree, who tells Inside Higher Ed that calling Obama "the professor" is close to labeling him 'uppity.'"
Other slurs against Obama—left wing, socialist, palling around with terrorists—"were buzzwords. But the reality was they were looking at this president as an African American who was out of place,”

lol.....oh yeah!
I’m beginning to believe that calling him less than “Lord of the Universe” will get someone tagged as a racist. What a shame!
It should be noted that Ogletree has been one of the primary perps in the scam to get reparations into court. In this, he’s been joined by the usual suspects, including (below room temp) Johnny Cochran, and the same old poverty-race pimps (you know their names).
And he subscribes to the philosophy of Jesse Jr., who said that he views everything - everything - through the filter of race. It’s a good gig.
That’s a possibility I hadn’t considered.
Dear Professor Ogleturkey,
Although it may come at the expense of sorely overworked neurotransmitters, please ask yourself this question.
How would you describe a constitutional law ‘professor’, at a lectern, reading Miranda Rights to foreign terrorists while posing as Commander-in-Chief of the United States sworn to uphold the Constitution?
If your answer is ‘uppity’ meaning ‘presumptuously arrogant’, and, dead wrong, you are probably on the same page as Sarah Palin and the vast majority of U.S. citizens.
If your answer is ‘uppity’ meaning ‘he is also a racist’, you are probably right on that count as well.
By expanding your application of the Alinsky Code when framing the question, you should be able to achieve 100% accuracy on all answers.
To qualify for a professorial position, I'd think one would need at least a PhD, or in the law case, a JD. Don't think the 0 would've been capable of that kind of 'heavy lifting'. In plain English, he was a teaching assistent. The difference of that to a professor is like that of a crossing guard to a SWAT team member.
I thought “Ibn-” just meant “Son of”, like “Ben-” in Hebrew. In other words, it means the same thing but the Arabs had to change the spelling so it wouldn’t be spelled the same as their hated cousins, the Jooos.
What if I said he was “President”?
The Libs really have to dig deep just like the NitWits
on last nights Palin bashing thread.
You know Palin is hitting the mark when she becomes the target.
I don’t know, that’s what the guy told me: “Our name used to be Ibn-xxxx, but it meant...”
Driving a pick up truck is code for racism to Oberman and Fineman.
Right.
If you’re not taking flak, you’re not over the target.
I know he hates Jesus and God`s unborn children, but I guess you covered that under Christian hater.
Well, Hussein sure gives that impression.
I took it as a reference to the lie Obama told us while campaigning. Obama led us to believe he served as a Constitutional Law professor, which we later learned was a lie.
I guess it takes a Harvard professor's intellect to spin Palin's remark into something "close" to racist. Fuel for the fools as it were, because only fools would take another fool seriously.
He was part of the club, meaning that to outsiders like you and me a "Senior Lecturer" was as good as a Professor. That's the university's line and there is some merit to it.
But inside the club -- among the law faculty -- was Obama's post really as prestigious as, say a full professor with publications to his name? Was his status really as high as that of the school's expert in a whole field of law? Probably not.
No way. He was not "part of the club" as you put it.
Lecturers and adjuncts are not tenure-track, do not have a vote, and are not as good as professors.
He was not even Tenure Track. That meant it was only slightly higher than a TA. Actually, I think it was about three steps above a TA, but not much more.
Add Soros as the Skipper, and it’s perfect!
