Cokie Roberts: People Call Obama Muslim Because They Can't Say 'I Don't Like Him Cause He's Black' By Noel Sheppard Created 04/24/2011 - 12:06pm

ABC devoted its entire "This Week" on Easter Sunday to "God and Government," and not surprisingly the question of President Obama's faith prominently entered the discussion.
When it did, Cokie Roberts said, "The bad part about this is that it's acceptable to say that he's a Muslim because the same people won't say, 'I don't like him cause he's black'" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
STEVE ROBERTS: The word Muslim is a code word, and it's a metaphor. It's a metaphor for racism. It's a metaphor for he's different from us, he's not like us, he's got this funny name, which he says all the time. And it is - and he's an alien on some level. But this goes back to our earlier discussion, that there has always been a strain of America that wants to exclude the other. Exclude someone who's different...
(CROSSTALK)
COKIE ROBERTS: But - but - but the bad part about this...
(CROSSTALK)
ROBERTS, S.: But in the long run, the forces of...
(CROSSTALK)
ROBERTS, C.: Right. But - but...
(CROSSTALK)
RICHARD LAND, SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION: Forty seven percent of white people voted for him.
Actually, it's 43 percent, but still a spectacular point by Land that most on the panel missed and most in the country ignore. They also forget that shortly after his inauguration, Obama's favorability rating was around 75 percent. That includes a lot of white people as well.
What the media just can't get their hands around is that disapproval of Obama today isn't because he's black - it's because of his policies. Or do the 70 percent of the country that now believe the nation is on the wrong track also feel this way because the President is black?
ROBERTS, C.: But - but the bad part about this is that he - that - that it's acceptable to say that he's a Muslim...
EBOO PATEL, INTERFAITH YOUTH CORE: That's right.
ROBERTS, C.: ...because the same people won't - won't say, "I don't like him cause he's black." So it's - it's - and - and the fact that it's acceptable to dislike him because he's a Muslim is the problem that you were talking about.
Calling Americans racist, despite there being an African-American in the White House, is acceptable on Easter Sunday.
I doubt I'm the only one that felt this was highly inappropriate on such a holy day.
AMEN!!! The Liberals are like the Sesame Street toys you pull a string on, and they have like 3 or 4 things they just say over and over and over. It gets soooo old. I wrote this a week or so ago:

Cokie Roberts playing Obama’s blame game never mind the fact he’s made a disaster with his ideas and actions.
The libs pull the race card,they have no idea how stupid they look.
If it weren't for Steffie, Obama would have been in deep doodoo!
feh...
How many Christians do you know, IF YOU KNOW ANY, Change their names to Muhamid or Barack Cokie? who changes their names like this - Muslims do Cokie!
Evidently, she comes by the name honestly. She must have did too much of it "in the day".
The have been trashed by the Media? Why
sarc cuss they have the wrong belief's.
Hey Corkie, HE’s NOT BLACK!!!
I don’t like Cokie Roberts because she has a stupid name
Well, you might not like her for her name, I don’t like her for all the stupid stuff she says and does
LOL.
There’s nothing like playing the race card when you’ve completely run out of logical arguments.
Way to go, Cokie.
That is a spectacularly shallow statement.
Hey During an interview he told Snugglepuss he was Muslim !
On yeah he corrected himself /sarc
Actually, I think it was George that corected him and said “you mean Christian” and Obama said “yes” just a little slip they are hoping we have all forgot
I dislike his white half too.
More mind reading from the MSM.
Very well said Mr. K
Cokie, I don’t like him because he is a lying marxist pig who has completely fouled up my country.
Then explain why I think Allen West should have been our first black president.
Want to talk colors?
Allen West—red, white and blue
Cokie’s object of obsession—red
I’m not old enough to remember segregation. I grew up in a world where black kids and white kids went to school at the same school, and “white only” were in black and white pictures somebody had in a box. Cokie is a stupid skank. I despise Obama because he is a communist, who sat through 20 years of “Kill Whitey” sermons at Jeremiah Wright’s church, and because he referred to me (and a lot of others) as “bitter people, clinging to guns and religion.” I despise the man because I know he despises me, whatever he may say about it. Notice that up until this sentence, I did not mention he was black. I couldn’t care less, Cokie.
Cokie talks likes she’s on drugs. Her boy isn’t “black”. He’s half white and half black. I hate his white side one hell of a lot more than I even think about his black side. Roberts needs to retire. She’s gone into the retard mode.
