Shove up your very personal Obama, Obama.

You’d have testified for the prosecution in that trial had it benefited your sorry, well faked career.

Go away, quota baby.

Gee, I thought he’d be much better introducing the “Crying Game” or “The Birdcage”. Maybe a cameo appearance ...

I don’t get this.
If he acknowledge his white side, would they ask him to introduce the movie?
We read it in high school, saw the movie, personally thought it was waaaaay over rated.

Perhaps he should invite Robert Duvall and the surviving actors to the White House for a beer.

Saw this when it cost $.25 to go to the movies. Even then I could sense my money flying away on a worthless film when I could have had 5 Milky Ways instead.

However, I shall put watching it on my To-Do List.....right after mash nuts flat with a sledgehammer.

Harper Lee's far less popular sequel to "To Kill a Mockingbird" is "To Elect a Loon".

I think about the statistics which show that blacks rape more whites by far than vice versa.

WHY IS HE DOING THIS?

In the book, Tom Robinson is accused of a rape he DID NOT COMMIT. Yet all the town wants to convict him to keep “those people” in their “proper place”.

EVERYTHING in TKAM makes the new Tom Robinson into ZIMMERMAN.

ZIMMERMAN is cracked up to be this horrrible guy, in spite of ALLLLL the evidence, much of which they have conspired to cover.

WHY IS HE DOING THIS....?

"Because, here in 2012, with black racism utterly dominant, we just HAVE to highlight a dramatization of an incident of white racism from the early 20th century.

It is just so essentially necessary and important."

Exactly. And it's even better when it takes place in the knuckle-dragging South. /s

Obama's going to keep inserting himself into everything to do with race until November....gotta keep the base stirred up, you know.

It is increasingly difficult to know when a headline is being satirical and when we are supposed to read it with a straight face. Great Leader is playing with fire in order to be reelected. The hope he has is to incite and divide in ways this country has not seen in decades. I fear we have seen nothing yet.

Thwe first commercial break will announce that, “This production is brought to you by the Obama Ministry of Propaganda.”

When Dear Leader appears there will be a triple rainbow, a herd of prancing Unicorns showering His children with Skillets and a flock of birds singing in human voices.
Dear Leader will emerge from a giant clam shell, garbed in purple robes and a laurel crown and surrounded by Doric columns to introduce the broadcast in his magnificent baritone.
Comrade: Thought crime does not entail death. Thought crime is death. Death to the reactionary running jackals and braying hyenas. Let a million flowers bloom. Long life to Dear Leader!

Given the ego and arrogance of the manchild zero, I am surprised he didn’t have his face overlaid for Atticus Finch over Gregory Peck’s.

To commemorate the senseless execution of Zimmerman, I assume.

And I’m sure he’ll point out that the awesome hero of the entire story is a white man - right?

I can hear it now: “If I had a son he would look like Gregory Peck.”

“Books are useless! I only ever read one book, To Kill A Mockingbird, and it gave me absolutely no insight on how to kill mockingbirds! Sure it taught me not to judge a man by the color of his skin . . . but what good does that do me?”
