Rush Calls Donaldson 'Ignorant' for Saying People 'Like Limbaugh' Oppose Obama Because He's Black
Newsbusters ^ | June 17, 2012 | Noel Sheppard

Posted on 06/17/2012 3:12:40 AM PDT by SMGFan

As NewsBusters reported Saturday, former ABC White House correspondent Sam Donaldson told the Huffington Post, "Many on the political right believe this president [Barack Obama] ought not to be there – they oppose him not for his polices [sic] and political view but for who he is, an African American! These people and perhaps even certain news organizations (certainly the right wing talkers like Limbaugh) encourage disrespect for this president."

Limbaugh responded to this nonsense by email moments ago:

"Sam's premise, sadly, is ignorant, simplistic, clichéd, predictable and wrong. The President's ideas are what I oppose, not his skin color, which I couldn't care less about. He's the President of the United States and his race does not inoculate or immunize him from substantive critique."

For once could someone use harsher words. We are fighting for our nation's future.

zer0’s claim to ill-fame is not his skin color, but his flag color.....a red hammer and sickle...

had Herman Cain made it as the candidate, Rush would have given him a bigger push than he is (reluctantly) giving Mittens.

"encourage disrespect for this president."

The only person encouraging disrespect for ZERO is ZERO.
The race of ZERO has absolutely nothing to do with the reason most people despise him. It is his arrogance, hipporacy, and lies that make people disrespect him.

I disagree with Rush. It’s not ignorance, it’s stupidity. Ignorance indicates a lack of knowledge - Sam Donaldson knew better but said it anyway.

I hated Carter..he’s white
I hated Clinton...he’s white
I hated both because they were killing the country. I hate Obama for the same reason. It dont matter if he is black{or half black,or whatever he is claiming today}.
That race card is really getting a work out.

What does Donaldson think about the 95% of Blacks who all voted for Obama? If that’s not racist, nothing is. The left likes to concoct their versions of reality. They’re constitutionally incapable of thinking clearly.

"That race card is really getting a work out."

It's all they have. They can't run on ZERO's record. All they can do is spout racism. I for one am glad they are. The more they use it, the more people see it for what it is. Pure BS

I surely do not want to be seen as racist, my parents raised me not to be racist.

Can I despise his white half?... the Dunham family that taught him Communist/Socialist values and to disrespect American values.

This issue gets more sticky when you ask "why didn't the other 5% support him?"

I reworded this several times before posting.

And yet the left happily attacked Herman Cain. Apparently that attack was motivated only by the most sincere motives.

It worked out so well in the past.

When Nobel Prize winning poet Tony Morrison, who is African-American, can write an October 1988 New Yorker article titled “Clinton as the first black president”, then what is “black”? When the NAACP calls the black conservative Kenneth Gladney, “not black enough”, and “not a brother” then what is “black”? When Time magazine’s Jack White calls Supreme Court Justice Thomas, “the scariest of all the hobgoblins”, saying “Washington seems to be filled with white men who make black people uneasy”, than what is “black”? And when Obama, a man whose mother is Caucasian, can tell us in a widely read autobiography that in his youth he struggled with his racial identity before *deciding* to be black, what is “black”?

When Bill Maher, during a panel discussion on HBO complains that Obama’s policies are “half-assed” “because he’s only half black.” and that “if he was fully black, I’m telling you, he would be a better president.”, and that “there’s a white man in him holding him back”, than what is “black”?

“Black” in all these contexts, as well as Juan Williams’s complaint on Fox News that the extraordinarily lopsided expression of Missouri voter sentiment in August of 2010 rejecting ObamaCare (in one county by 92%) was really about race, is not about “race” at all. It is about ideology, socialist ideology.

With respect to BHO being black: it is not about the racial characteristics he was born with, it is about the ideology he adopted. It is not what percent black he is, it is about how thoroughly red he is.

Good One:
I honestly believe that it was ZERO's camp that sabotaged Herman. They didn't want a black conservative opposing ZERO.
He would have destroyed ZERO. . . . . .

Dems will never give up the meme that anyone who opposes Obama is a racist. You know, look at all the support Pubbies gave Clinton. Because impeaching someone is the best way to show you support them. (smirk) I didn’t think Donaldson was quite that stupid, but thanks for clearing it up Sam. In short, if Stalin were black and the prez, opposing him would make you a nasty racist. Got that conservatives?
