Re: Is there any criticism that Obama can receive...
Quote:
Did anyone get called a racist for critizing Bush's policies? NO. It's ridiculous--right now the main stream media is in full panic mode--CNN--ABC--CBS--NBC--MSNBC--(the tingly feeling chanel is trying to label the tens of thousands if you wish--even though the University of Illinois took area shots--did their math on this crowd & estimated it at 1.5 MILLION. In fact, the largest crowd ever assembled in protest of Washington D.C. At any rate--these media outlets are infering that these protestors are racist. They are stating that Joe Wilson is a racist because he called Obama out on a statement--that illegals would not be covered under HR3200--later we find they would be under sec. 1702. Did these media outlets cover that. Heck no--but they sure attacked Joe Wilson & called him a racist. They didn't even cover Van Jones--Obama's pick for green czar & the racist statements he has made against whites. It's more than clear that these media outlets have their lips glued to Obama's ass. If one simply disagrees with one of Obama's policies they will be called a racist--by the main stream media in this country.

Re: Is there any criticism that Obama can receive...
I'm not so sure race card is the best tactic for the Left to take. Albeit, I think it's somewhat innate to their ideology. In the end, I'm not at all sure they even see that it's a tactic that will fail to get the desired effect. In fact, it will get precisely the opposite effect in which they wish to achieve.
In particular, many of the white voters that voted fro Obama who have begun to see that they are not quite getting the president they thought they were going to get. The change we can believe in, they are seeing, is actually the change we can't afford. They are beginning to see this, and it has nothing to do with race. Many see this trifecta ; First I vote for you, because I believe in you. Then I object to you, because you are failing me. And now because I object, suddenly I'm a racist. They are insulted. They are saying... So I wasn't a racist when I voted for you. But now that I disagree with you, I'm a racist? WTF! The Left would be wise to wake up. This tactic is simply not going to go over well. Time to rethink your playbook. Saddest part of all, the left will not back down from this tactic, they can't. In fact they will escalate it. It's in their DNA.

Re: Is there any criticism that Obama can receive...
There's certainly the fringe left that do pull the race card often when criticism is made against the President. Similar to how there's the fringe right that accuse people of being anti-American for criticizing President Bush. But no, most liberals and most conservatives do not resort to these tactics and it would be disingenuous to imply so.

So, if his figures are good enough for the left to accept the attendance then, I would suggest that it seems fair that they accept the same source for this figure. Ergo, 1.5 million people marched on 09 12 in Washington DC to protest government. If you dig past the crap photos being posted by the left (with the clear agenda to discredit the protests)..... you will find vast numbers of Americans - white, black, hispanic yadda, yadda, yadda..... Considering that was just the Washington protest, then it would be fun to find out how many across the country.

Re: Is there any criticism that Obama can receive...
And they're idiots who have never seen actual racism. I live in a tiny little SETX town, and have on more than one occasion had to ask someone to leave my house because (this is a quote so please excuse my language) "Hell yeah I'll fight in a Texas Revolution! I didn't vote for no nigger to be my president!". Let me clarify and say that I do NOT in any way think this is the majority of people out there. I use this example to show that the people who scream racism at every little thing, whether you're talking about Obama supporters or detractors, have never been around a real racist.

Re: Is there any criticism that Obama can receive...
Calling people critical of Obama racist is expected when every single fucking thing Obama does is criticised.
Hell, we've even got rightwingers on here complaining when Obama kills al qaeda leaders. WTF!? |

Re: Is there any criticism that Obama can receive...
So was it racist to criticize "every single fucking thing" Bush did?
