Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) on Friday said former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s comments that President Obama does not love America stem from his race.
“Rudy Giuliani questioned how much, or even if, President Obama loves America,” Cohen posted to his Twitter account. “Maybe he thinks he loves it 3/5 as much as Giuliani & his pals.”

The tweet is a reference to the Three-Fifths compromise, when Southern and Northern states agreed to put a clause in the Constitution that said that slaves counted for three-fifths of a person for tax purposes.

(It's similar to people trying to defend Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant--people who rightly criticize Bryant's innumerable off-field troubles (many of which have not been reported by the press--even one Skip Bayless has not said much publicly on much of what he knows about Bryant's off-field troubles, given his connections to people working inside the Cowboys organization) have been labeled as racist despite what we know about Bryant in the public record.)
But Cohen used the word “how” in his tweet. Clear as a bell. Obviously an anti-Native American reference.
Steve Cohen is an IDIOT! He, and most stupid Dems, don’t know or care to know that the 3/5ths “compromise” was to keep the SLAVE states (Democrats) from getting too much power with the census and thus more seats in the House.
Exactly. Apparently he can’t see beyond the color a person’s skin.
That does it. Cohen must resign!
“Nah, fired because he kept saying 57 flavors.
And the store was run by a retired Navy CORPSEman!
“Someone makes a simple criticism about the president and BOOM! People start calling him a racist?”
They use the racist defense when what someone says is true.
It means the observation was true and they have no other defense.
Those dems are really mad over this. That means that the truth was spoken and they can’t stand that.
” is that true? he was fired?”
It was in his book. He also said” I didn’t like working for the enemy, anyway”
“Dem suggests Giuliani comments were racist”
Of course! How could it possibly be anything else?
Should say...Supplies are UNLIMITED!
If Steve Cohen can harbor such venomous feelings towards Native Americans, he has no place in the U.S. House of Representatives.
How does Tennessee elect a Jew communist to Congress?
I can see a black being elected in a gerrymandered black district but a Jew?
This guy stole a seat from the blacks.
Very cool. :-)

“Putting an unqualified man into office simply because he’s Black, is racist.”
“Absolutely. I’ve been making the same statement since 2008.
It is plainly obvious, and needs to be repeated. Obama is proof that America is a racist Nation because he was elected as President with no qualifications other than amount of melanin in his skin.
That is a big problem and indictment of the American voters.”
+1000
Steve Cohen (D-Tenn) sees nothing but race when looking at people. What a despicable individual.
No it wasn’t. Now if he’d have said “that damn n***er isnt doing his job”; now that would be racist. What he said was just the truth...but both statements are truthful if you want to get down to brass tacks; the latter just said in violation of current PC standards
People have become inured to the “racist” crud. Keep it up, Dems.
Technically, if the statement was indeed racist, it would only be half racist because Obama is half white.
Yeah, Rudi’s a real racist all right. So racist that he served how many terms as mayor of New York?
