    See this statement, reader? ^^^ A prime example of using the past, and I mean THE WAY PAST as an excuse to milk victim-hood, instead of manning up and facing the future. I have nothing but contempt for such a self-defeating and shallow POV.

    The past influences the present. Things do not occur in a vacuum.

    Martin Luther King Jr. was also called a socialist by pro-segregationists in the South. Its not surprising that its now being hurled at the first non-white president.

    And just look at the "body language" of this ^ statement, reader.

    "Negro people" -clearly an outdated choice of words and dripping with sarcasm meant to impugn "the other side" with implied racism.

    Then he uses the highly insulting and condescending label of **********s" to imply racism on a fiscally conservative movement that includes all races and has nothing - NOTHING !! - to do with class or race.

    Additionally, the accusation against the Tea Party has no basis in fact and confirms Yukon's statement has no credibility. We call this "trolling", because that is exactly what it is. I hope it doesn't get deleted as such, so it can stand as example.

    Have you fallen and bumped you knotty head???
    Her husband is steeped in a Marxist upbringing and Marxist, and even communist friends and associates. Radicals and bullies. Socialists too.
    There is nothing racial about his policies, EXCEPT for his belief in "social justice, and how it reflects in the tone he and his DOJ have demonstrated.

    You better substantiate that with some proof or very credible cites, or I say you're just plain LYING.

    Obama's race baiting:

    "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

    “This law that just passed in Arizona … you can try to make it really tough on people who look like they ‘might be illegal immigrants,’ ” Mr. Obama thundered. “One of the things that the law says is local officials are allowed to ask somebody who they have a suspicion might be an illegal immigrant for their papers. But you can imagine, if you are a Hispanic American in Arizona - your great-grandparents may have been there before Arizona was even a state. But now, suddenly, if you don’t have your papers and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you’re going to be harassed.”

    Sunday, Oct. 10th at a rally in Philadelphia before a mostly black audience, Obama attacked Republicans saying "they're counting on...black folks staying home..." Well, what the heck does that mean? What message was the "Great Unifier" attempting to send to black America?

    “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”

    How about these egregious race baiting claims in interviews:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7fi8STNlxM"]1995 Obama Bizarre, Race Baiting Interview Found! HE MUST SAVE BLACKS SO HE CAN BE SAVED. - YouTube[/ame]

    How about his friends in the Black Caucus:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG8x6X8xn3c&feature=player_embedded"]Congressional Black Caucus' Dangerous Violent Rhetoric: Declares 'War' on Racist Tea Party, - YouTube[/ame]

    “I’m not afraid of anybody,” Waters said at the summit in Inglewood, Calif. “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned, the ‘tea party’ can go straight to Hell.”

    “This is the effort that we are seeing of Jim Crow. Some of these folks in Congress right now would love to see us as second class citizens. Some of them in Congress right now with this Tea Party movement would love to see you and me… hanging on a tree,” Carson said at a Aug. 22 Congressional Black Caucus Job Tour even in Miami.

    “Some of them right now in Congress right now are comfortable with where we were fifty or sixty years ago,” Carson added. “But it’s a new day with a black president and a Congressional Black Caucus.”


    Yep folks; you just gotta love that civil and tolerant discourse from the Liberals.

    He's earned the label through his policies and presidential directives and tone. And he's a democrat - the party of socialism- or did you not notice that?

    MLK has nothing to do with this.

    FAIL

    Why not start your own thread on it then instead of trolling this one in a lame attempt to drag it off topic?

    Better yet, start a counter one that factually defends Obama’s obvious race baiting?

    I hear the same thing from black friends. One stated to me when I asked if she preferred being referred to as an African American and she stated in no uncertain terms that she was a "BLACK" American.

    Where did this idiot term “African American” come from anyway; the left?

    Well the media didn’t seem to think what Reverend Wright had to say as relevant to Obama's candidacy did they? Let's look at a reminder of what TRUE hate rhetoric is and remember that Obama attended his church for many years.

    Martin Luther was a Socialist. So is this President whose main experience was community organizing which now shows based on his incredible lack of leadership and incompetence.

    Why would you pretend it is something else?

    Jet57 sent you a friendly email to ask you about your user name: I found it rather coll and wondered if it had any significance. Instead of answering a friendly question, you ignored it and hopped into my page. I admonished you on your rudeness and you continues to be rude.

    So, now I'm challenging you in debate. If you can't debate, then cede.

    The TEA Party, is nothing more than the Silent Majority finally speaking out after all these decades, and doing so intelligently as an active voting block counteracting the liberal/progressive democrat decades long superiority of organized union voting block advantages.

    It was more than past due to happen, and, it is the reason (given the power of that voting dynamic that has finally been unleashed) that the TEA Party is not going anywhere, and why it will continually makes gains.

    The organized voting voice of Conservatism arrived, and the taste of that power and potential, having been the oppositions tactical advantage for decades, is not going to be given up, no matter the fearmongering tactics of those seeing what is happening and are powerless to stop it.

    C-mon margaret, we all remember obama throwing his white grandmother under the bus, and his siding with the black professor over the white cop in Boston as he made it a racial issue.

    When Obama puts on his socks in the morning he isn't thinking about anything other than how to spread more of it around.

    Uh, no. Whopper Stopper dodged the proof in the OP and decided that he knew better about what was going on. So I challenged him. You obviously don't have the answer, so you just typically jump in with ad-hom.

    Can you add anything productive to any discussion?
