Dem suggests Giuliani comments were racist
The Hill ^ | 02/20/15 | By David McCabe

Posted on 02/20/2015 12:55:14 PM PST by Responsibility2nd

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.”

Rudy Giuliani questioned how much,or even if, President Obama loves America.Maybe he thinks he loves it 3/5 as much as Giuliani & his pals — Steve Cohen (@RepCohen) February 20, 2015

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.

What? Someone makes a simple criticism about the president and BOOM! People start calling him a racist?

Gee. Has that ever happened before?

Steve Cohen seems to have issues with Italian Americans.

Yes, a particularly rabid one. His disdain for blacks is well documented by the slave mentality he brings to all legislation.

Dem suggests Giuliani comments were racist

Now who didn't see *that* coming? They played Obama all the way into the White House by harping on that "race card".

The *ONLY* reason he got elected was because he was Black. Had he been White, he would still be a nobody, and probably still be working at Baskin Robbins in Hawaii.

Putting an unqualified man into office simply because he's Black, is racist.

Barry is not of a slave tribe. In fact his tribe were the people who sold slaves to Europeans. Obama continues that tradition today, enslaving blacks of African descent in hopelessness and poverty.

I googled pics of this Rep. Steve Cohen, and he looks straight out of the Soviet Politburo.

” probably still be working at Baskin Robbins in Hawaii. “

He was fired after 2 weeks....probably for stealing.

Everyone’s making a fuss over Rudy’s remarks, but they don’t notice Sen. Ted Cruz’s remarks on “The Kelly File”, which were also correct.

He said that Obama is an apologist for radical Islamists and that Obama has a hard heart towards the murders of Christians and Jews.

I believe Obama would say of those atrocities pretty much what he said of Benghazi: “It’s not optimal.”

Cohen has amassed a collection of incredibly-stupid statements over the years. Would he be interested in the head anchor job at NBC News?

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.
