The odious Martin Bashir is at it again. On his MSNBC show today, Bashir suggested that conservatives, racists that they are, were happy to have slaves help build the White House, but can't accept a black president living there.

RACE BAITER LAME Stream Media's at it again, trying to stir the pot.
But they don't say one word about their Fabian Fascist ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF's attempts to start a RACE WAR.

Take notice of how Barack Hussein Obama II reminds himself everyday, to play the "Race Card".

... in a hallway outside the Oval Office, he has placed a head-turning painting depicting one of the ugliest racial episodes in U.S. history.

Norman Rockwell’s “The Problem We All Live With,” installed in the White House last month, shows U.S. marshals escorting Ruby Bridges, a 6-year-old African-American girl, into a New Orleans elementary school in 1960 as court-ordered integration met with an angry and defiant response from the white community.

... His choice of the Rockwell painting was a more private statement. Obama has never mentioned it in a speech or public event. And while White House aides confirmed that Obama approved bringing it to the West Wing, they declined to discuss how the decision was made or why.

But in an interview with POLITICO, Bridges, now 56 and still living in New Orleans, said she began reaching out to the president last year — through Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick — to move the painting to the White House because she believed the image would resonate with Obama.

“It did have a lot to do with this particular president,” Bridges said. “He is a president of mixed race. So I believe he is about the same things that I am. You cannot look at a person and judge him or her by the color of their skin. … I did feel if anyone would hang the painting, it would be him.”

Last month, Bridges stopped by the White House to see the painting in its new — though temporary — home.

“I think it’s fair to say that if it hadn’t been for you guys, I might not be here, and we might not be looking at this together,” Obama told her, according to a videotape on the White House website.

Bridges says the work conveys a message of integration and “bringing people together,” but on its surface, Rockwell’s painting depicts jarring cruelty, hatred and fear.

“The N-word there — it sure stops you,” said William Kloss, an art historian and expert on the White House collections. “There’s a realistic reason for having the graffiti as a slur, [but] it’s also right in the middle of the painting. … It’s a painting that could not be hung even for a brief time in the public spaces [of the White House], I’m pretty sure of that.”

... “It is jarring to see it in this piece of art, but … it provides the context of the time,” said Roland Martin, an African-American radio and TV host and political commentator for CNN. “When you see that word, you see her, you see the soldiers, you realize, ‘I really get this.’”

... Still, at 3 feet high and nearly 5 feet wide, the painting is by far the most striking civil rights-related art in the White House. Rockwell painted the image in 1963, and it appeared on the cover of Look magazine in January 1964. ..."

I don’t think the construction crew in Truman’s term was not military. I haven’t researched it and so manors peaking with authority.

Martin,

We do not judge by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.

Best Regards and welcome to our homeland,
The American People

[jersey117]

Such BS. I’d be perfectly happy with Allen West, Alan Keyes, Herman Cain or any other patriotic American of color. As long as they’re legit. Wish we could deport Bashir. I’m sick of these foreigners telling us how to run our country.

[Vaduz]

First question how many black slave owners supplied the slaves?.

[OpusatFR]

I’m gobstopped! So the Scot stonemasons who worked on the White House and Capitol were slaves?

[jersey117]

Wow. Enough said.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Clinton isn’t President any more.

[NTHockey]

>>Technically yes, but the word “mulatto” is obsolete. He is in fact “black” or African-American or whatever else you want to call him.<<

How about half-breed, or is that forbidden also?

[NathanR]

I am sure that would be even more so. LOL

[dps.inspect]

to Bashir, "is that all you got... IS THAT ALL YOU GOT!!"

Any time these leftists want to lay down that gauntlet, our comeback aught to be just that, "is that all you got" then lay into O's failed presidency...

[Gator113]

Yes, it’s THAT bad and much more. What Obama and these worthless dregs have started will not end well, for them.

[Secret Agent Man]

We just can’t accept a socialist in the White House, regardless of color. Color is immaterial. I’d vote for Walter Williams in a heartbeat.

[Yosemitest]

Liberals can't abide the truth!
Watch this.

LIBERAL GOES BALLISTIC IN CUCOS (my title)
Monday, Apr. 02, 2012 | ED KEMP

HATTIESBURG -- Investigators said Monday night they still were piecing together what motivated a man to open fire at a Hattiesburg restaurant on Monday afternoon, wounding five customers and employees.

“We don’t have anything that we can release right now,” Hattiesburg Police Department spokesman Lt. Eric Proulx said.

Suspect Scott Tyner, 44, of Hattiesburg, was apprehended by Hattiesburg Police officers a short distance from the restaurant. Tyner lived nearby on South 21st Avenue.

The shooting came suddenly, seemingly without provocation, for the employees and patrons inside Cucos, a Mexican restaurant on a frontage road facing U.S. 49.

Proulx said the shooting happened a little before 3:30 p.m.

“There was no confrontation,” Proulx said. “There was no exchange of words.”

Emergency responders arrived on scene about 3:31 p.m. Five victims with blood-spattered clothes were rushed out on stretchers and taken to Forrest General Hospital. One victim, a middle-aged white male, appeared to be spitting up blood.

Tyner was booked in the Forrest County Jail on five counts of aggravated assault Monday night. Bond was not set.

Hattiesburg Police did not release any other information on Tyner, other than to say Tyner was not a current employee of the restaurant.

According to the Hattiesburg American archives, Tyner was a member of the Forrest County Democratic Executive Committee as late as 2006, an Iraq War protester and an avid letter writer on political topics.

But while Tyner called for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and decried tax policies that favored the rich, he also opposed amnesty policies for illegal immigrants.

One letter he wrote in 2010 questioned the reasoning behind celebrating Cinco de Mayo because of the large number of illegal Mexican immigrants in the United States.

“Mexico doesn’t care for its people; it exports them,” he wrote.

Onlookers at the crime scene expressed shock at the violence that seemed to come out of the blue.

Brian Foxworth was among about a dozen folks who stood pressed against the police tape in the Payless Rent to Own store parking next door to Cucos.

Foxworth, the Payless store manager, said he didn’t hear the shots, but hurried out of his store as soon as he heard the emergency responders arrive.

While he said he’s seen police come to Cucos twice before in his five years at Payless, he said he never expected to see the business next door crawling with police and ambulances.

“I don’t know what to say about it,” he said. “I’m just stunned by the whole situation.”

The First Slave Owner In America Anthony Johnson, A Black Man !!!
True many blacks OWNED slaves yet the liberals shame the white man but not the black man.
They never talk about the blacks that sold slsves,it’a the norm for libs to only tell one side of a stery.

[mriguy67]

Im willing to bet 90% of conservatives would have no problem with Colonel Alan West there and 90% of liberals would have a problem with him

[Alas Babylon!]

Yosemite, I sadly shake my head at Bridges comment: You cannot look at a person and judge him or her by the color of their skin.

And yet, isn't that EXACTLY why blacks are so favorable toward Obama, including herself? As she says in the VERY NEXT sentence: I did feel if anyone would hang the painting, it would be him.

They HAVE judged him by the color of his skin, and because his skin is colored the same as theirs, they therefore support him and vote for him.

Yet this is not racism?

Suppose I only voted and supported people who had MY skin color?

[mriguy67]

Im willing to bet 90% of conservatives would have no problem with Colonel Alan West there and 90% of liberals would have a problem with him

"I must be missing something, but isn’t Obama a mulatto?"
