I know there will be protests from the Obama haters out there, but I fail to see how they can be so vituperative just on matters of policy. Without going through the details, they’re well known, nothing Obama has actually done would invite the harsh and continual condemnation he has received at the hands of the republicans. What’s the reason other than racism? Has to be. The process of calm consideration of everything he has said and done leads to a naturally mixed set of reviews, depending on your point of view. But he’s done nothing to justify the hatred.
So are liberals racist because they went after Bush on almost every policy? Or were they going after Bush because they disagreed with his policies? I disagree with most of Obama’s policies and it has absolutely nothing to do with the color of his skin.
I find it incredibly revealing about the mentality of liberals when they try so hard to stop any kind of discourse or discussion on the topics by claiming any opposition is based on racism. It is what happens when you can’t actually discuss the topic.
With all the criticizim he received, name a time Clinton was attacked demanding his birth certificate, ancestry, or challenging his religion. Ron Reagan was constantly attacked for being from the midwest?
Anyone reading “conservative” thought sources can recognize the veiled, or not, avoidance of racial slurs aimed at Obama, which are linked hand in glove with Islam.
Yes, the “cheated at the Oscars” argument goes the other way, but “equality” on the right does come from “Animal Farm”, some are more equal than others, ESPECIALLY when they are a minority, like the 1% ers, who affect far more than just finance/economy, like all social conditions from employment, medical care, to sustainence.
Over the past six years, I have read and heard many thinly-veiled cheap shots directed at Pres. Obama, many hinting plainly at racial hatred. Anyone who has not also seen these are blind; by either racial bias or true ignorance.
Who can question that the Grand Old Party, that thought up the “Southern Strategy”, could be accused of racism. Listen to Lee Atwater as he explains how Republicans can win the vote of racists without sounding racist themselves:………………………………………….
“You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nigger, nigger, nigger.’ By 1968 you can’t say ’nigger’—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than ‘Nigger, nigger.’”…………………………………………..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3xPXKdD-AA…………………………………………..By the way, Lee Atwater shared the duty of Richard Nixon’s press secretary with Roger Ailes, the president of the Fox News today.

Questioning the effects of President Obama’s policies and actions is legitimate, BUT questioning his citizenship is NOT dissent!
